schizo theory of the day: the consoomer meme is just a psyop to make people repulsed at the idea of owning physical media and property.
@yukarihinata alternate, far more rational theory: there are just a lot of wasteful, materialistic people who love consuming products they don't need
@meowski i think that is fair. especially when it comes to things that exist for the sole purpose of being collected. shit like funko pops are what I see the most criticized, because really the only thing plastic figures have going is aesthetic value which is minimal with the ugly super deformed designs of funko.

I just wonder what the line is between "consooming" and having a tasteful collection of items.

imo: collecting artificial things whose only purpose is being collected (as in dopamine kick) is consooming.
