There's something about the fact that "Shop by Interest" leads to a dropdown that consists almost exclusively of brand names that triggers a response deep in my stomach. Brands are the only thing that matters :^)
Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

It's like one of those images that's supposed to show you what it looks like when you've had a stroke:

All these collector toys remind me how much I love to sculpt. I've also been learning how to make toys just because I think it's fun. Imagine if all the people wasting money on these things just learned how to make their own.

Is not just about the object, though. It's about the community. They're using objects as tickets into a group.

Oh yeah. I forgot. It's not that they like the toys, merchandise, etc or the franchise or idea behind them, but they want to fit in. They want some form of belonging.
That's awful in more ways than I care to discuss.

Lmao half the clothes/outfits are obviously plus size, of course.
Also... car trash can, are you serious? Knowing the buzzfat demographic, I assume this is mostly used for fast food wrappers. Eating in the car is gross imo, but I do understand some people are busy and have no choice. Even then, is it really so damn hard to take your trash out of the car after you park and throw it in an actual trash can?

“Plus-sized” women having to collect these types of dresses as a sense of belonging are doing more damage to the credibility of the “body positivity” image.
It’s a leecherous way of trying to prey on obese women that feel hopeless and need an excuse for a dopamine rush.

I like the movie but getting so excited you run down the aisle like like a child and start hyperventilating is a bit much.
I've always found those cookbooks to be the cheesiest consoomer tier type things out there. There really doesn't need to be Star Wars, Batman, Marvel, and Ninja Turtles cookbooks. I was curious once and thumbed through a Star Wars one once at a book store and it was filled with shit like Kylo Ren margaritas and Chewbacca sugar cookies.

Exactly like any other sugar cookies, the only differences being a tangential connection to the Star Wars logo, and more hairs in them.

True, but the Donald Duck cookbook I had when I was a child. It had a pretty bomb recipe for chocolate cake

I don't mind cookbooks from shows where cooking is a pretty prominent part of the series or even if it's a cookbook for making authentic looking dishes from a fantasy/sci-fi series (bonus for including info about their time on set using/making it). A lot of those cookbooks listed are the boring "x-inspired dishes you can make at home!" that offer nothing interesting.
Probably a TMI moment, but the only one of those cookbooks I've ever gotten was the Feeding Hannibal cookbook that featured recipes used in the series (with animal subs for the human meat) with some lovely pictures. Holds a bunch of interesting tidbits about behind the scenes comments on each recipe as a nice extra.

It's a fidget strip to reduce stress, of course!
No joke, they're called "Calm strips" and they're waterproof textured stickers for sticking on the back of your phone.

I’ve never heard of those before.
Man, the whole fidget fad is the most brilliant way to sell off excess materials. It’s like some factory out there had way too many ball bearings sitting around, and someone came up with the idea to sell fidget spinners, and then everyone started marketing random bullshit they had sitting around as fidget toys to reduce stress.

I too had a lolcow of a friend (I cut him off) who is a consoomer too. He had a mountain of amiibos (double to have one boxed and another unboxed). spent thousands on Nintendo and other vidya collectables. I'd only seen him wearing 3 shirts. he lives with his obese mom and he's a NEET sperg in his 30s. funny thing is that when I called him on his habits, he called me judgemental and sperged and cried. ...

If you ever get the chance, ask him if he resents having to go and get whatever new Nintendo thing's being released ASAP. Ask him if he ever feels like a slave to Nintendo. Even if you get totally negative answers, you've still planted that seed in his head, and hopefully, someday, it'll sprout and he'll come to realize what he's doing.I too had a lolcow of a friend (I cut him off) who is a consoomer too.

Dude doesn't resent that at all. last time I was at his place, he had tens of promotional posters and totems. The apartment is too small and crowded for his shit as well as his mom's shit that she also hoarded. And trust me, I did try to convince him to stop being a manchild and get his shit together .... oh well. I'd say he's chris-chan lite. We are no longer friends.
