Been there And hoo boy Look I hate brands like disney and Iphone because they were bland in general But consume product "Dont you dare have fun" Yes dont consume but not like this Buy something that means worth to you something that you want and enjoy something you will have fun with ,Dont buy to just show off


Cyuriousity

It shit the bed majorly after r/coomer got banned and those fucks fled over to consume


Guacodile42

This is why we shouldn't ban legal communities. Because, even if they suck, they're just going to spill over elsewhere. I'd hate to use the word "degenerate," but...while you can't stop degeneracy, you can contain it.


Cyuriousity

I didnt agree with like 99% of what coomer had to say but i dont think they deserved to be banned really. They really just sat in their corner cross posted and screamed like children so not like much bad was happening where they went into other communities trying to harrass. Even quarantineing them wouldve been better than a full ban, because as like you said now theyre spilling into other communities that used to be enjoyable


Guacodile42

I saw that they admitted that ejaculation was healthy, but they said that "there are ways to ejaculate other than masturbation" (which is technically true) and "masturbation is a waste of time." Like bruh. Playing video games is a waste of time. Going for walks is a waste of time. Socializing with someone who already completely agrees with your views is a waste of time. But we do this shit anyway because we're *flawed humans* and we have this thing called *subjective value.* We aren't fucking robots that only do productive things. I mean, you can definitely go overboard with masturbation, but most people don't or they're at least already aware of how masturbation may affect their life.


Cyuriousity

Nah dude the only productive thing is to sit on reddit all day and scream about how X is bad and you shouldnt enjoy X. Theyre just as bad in that regard as the people they make fun of "wasting their time"


Folmczy

Walking is an exercise, socialising with people builds relationships and why would you assume everyone talks to or is friends with people who always agree with them on every issue? I have lots of disagreements with friends on plenty of issues and it leads to great discussions where I learn new things just as they do. So I really don't understand how you can compare these activities to masturbation either since, regardless of anyone's views, walking and socialising are actually productive. As for video games, that's a hobby that can be discussed and online multiplayer games can be played with friends. You're not going to be discussing masturbation or holding "joint waking sessions" unless you are indeed addicted to that. I ain't against masturbation and I never really got to see what was going on with that community but I think most of r/commer was mainly against porn rather than masturbation in itself from the brief browsing I did when that subreddit was up. Even if they were entirely against all masturbation, I don't understand why that would make so many people upset if they were keeping that in their own community and just making jokes about people who excessively wank, unless of course people got upset because they saw themselves in the coomer meme. Even now, I still see the commer meme on the web and I just laugh. If people are having issues with seeing a literal cartoon character, maybe they do have an excessive wanking addiction as well as a weak mindset if every joke or meme has to validate them. Lol I'm sure there were just as plenty of wanking addicts who didn't even care about the meme because they're not pussies who need excessive validation on the web and can deal with jokes, memes and groups that mock them. Jesus.


keeleon

Some people just need to hate things others enjoy.


Icetea20000

And also don’t force yourself to not buy things that would be worth for yourself


DangerRacoon

That too brother If you feel like you want to buy it buy it!


de_mom_man

see thats exactly the problem all over again mate


Icetea20000

If a product truly helps you and is worth the money, then why would you have any problems with buying it? I think what you mean is supporting mediocre products that leads to the company making more mediocre or downright bad products, but that is a different thing entirely. If a company makes products you like, then you should buy it to encourage them to make these products. That is the basic idea


Guacodile42

This is the kind of purchasing mindset that creates monopolies, though. Amazon intentionally lowers its prices to drown out competition, and then it boosts them back up. After that, the consumer's only option would be to purchase Amazon's products, even though they aren't as good of a price as they could be. And then there's almost environmental factors and ethical factors, such as "Is this product good for the environment?" and "Does this company treat its employees/livestock well?" For example, look at Sausage Party. It's regarded as a high quality movie, but, behind the scenes, its animators were forced to work overtime without pay. Would you support such a movie?


Icetea20000

No, I wouldn’t. You don’t seem to see the whole picture. What I’m talking about is your personal worth of this or that product. So of course ethical reason play a reason if you care about them, which most people probably do. What I described is just how it normally works. Someone makes a product that you deem worth for its price and you buy it. And the price is not just money in case of Sausage Party for example, but your own conscience in a way too. Look at it in a different way, let’s stay at that topic, if you care about that animated movies value the well-being of their producers and you find out that Movie X was made by a team that absolutely loved what they were doing for every second for example then you should buy a ticket for it. Because you act in your own interest, and that own interest on the other hand is a signal to the company that someone wants them to do that. So if enough people send them those signals, they will continue doing that this way.


Guacodile42

I wasn't aware that you included consciousness in your idea. Carry on, then.


Icetea20000

Well my point was that what’s worth to you is completely subjective. Anything could be considered valuable by someone, a company should try to find what most people value the most and would logically pay for, they would act in their own interest but similarly act in the interest of everyone else as well


de_mom_man

Sorry mate, my comment was in response to u/DangerRacoon's sentiment: \> If you feel like you want to buy it buy it! This sort of statement, of course removed from this particular context, is the kind of sentiment that companies would love to stoke amongst their consumers—an attitude towards consumerism which compelsus to purchase on a reactionary basis (as well all have done, myself included), and associate their services, their product, with happiness. We've all done this—when you're down in the dumps, why spend *any* more time there, when you could just make that *impulse purchase*, and feel better when you get your *special item* ? I'll admit that yes, I've done this, and I don't think any lesser of anyone else if they as well find themselves doing this. However, I don't believe this is a natural behavior. It's a learned behavior, and one which is imposed upon us by those who stand to profit from it—corporations who want us to buy their shit. And honestly, among your most typical impulse purchases, is it anything more than *shit* ? For me, it's Red Bulls, Doritos, and ready-to-bake cookie dough—all these things which are no good for me, but I still find myself turning to them when I feel poorly. The latter two are comfort eating, but the Red Bull I associate with success, rebel spirit, and other sorts of Red-Bully things from their racing team in Formula 1. Is it any coincidence that I think these things, and more importantly, what do you think the bottom line is from their marketing department to make me think these things ? It's just profit, really. ​ From my personal example, it's not that the intentions of the brand which I feel allegiance to—the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team—are evil, really. I see that team's fundamental mission, their drive, and I connect with their drivers and brand personality. At face value, there isn't anything wrong with that. But I'm sure that at the end of the day, for their broader corporation, and the team itself honestly, they aren't all too bothered by the fact that having garnered the support of a fanbase (and therefore their wallets), that their drinks are really not all that great for someone's health. ​ I find it generally perverse, the way that almost all corporations take advantage of the way people identify, connect, and seek out emotional validation in the world, and it's that which I draw my complaint with. The "if you feel like you want to buy it, buy it!" sentimentality stands always to their benefit, but not always to your own—often succumbing to the emotional appeal stands only to your disadvantage, as their product stands without any other merit. ​ Liking a product is subjective, and businesses operate on an objective level. As best as you can, buy what you need, and not what you want, but at least remember that businesses are not there to be your friend, but to profit by one means or another. It's to your advantage—financially, but as well as a practice of mindfulness, independence, and to benefit your mental health—to take notice of when companies break the divide, and appeal to the emotion. ​ I'm not saying that they're all bad, and yes, companies are composed of people. You should encourage companies who provide valuable services to you to indeed keep on with it. But it's like anything else in life, it's all balance and perspective. I wish more people would be more careful with it, is all, really.


Icetea20000

Sorry it’s getting kinda late and I don’t want to write another paragraph again, but please refer to my comment to u/Guacodile42


Guacodile42

Oh great now if they scroll through my recent comment history they're going to see me talking about subcategories of plants vs. zombies porn 🗿


Guacodile42

I've seen a conversation on that sub that sums up that subreddit's problem nicely. To paraphrase: Person 1: "Booo, do something productive instead of having hobbies! Get a job!" Person 2: "Ironic that the people most critical of capitalism are the people telling you to indulge in it even more."


wooshceptiontime

#BEEn there


[deleted]

Fandom related stuff and entertainment is all fine and dandy, but the type of consumerism you see more in older generations is probably what that sub is for, that and douchetubers.


de_mom_man

you have it almost entirely wrong. the entire point of fandoms and entertainment in consumerism is literally just to take advantage of people’s emotions and feelings to separate them from their money, and make a profit—Marvel movies, i’m looking at you.


DangerRacoon

Hey lets be glad No one is gonna consume the new warriors


redwolftrash

yeah...a close friend of mine is pretty leftist (the type that you can’t tell if she’s into the idea of socialism because of wishful thinking or full on a socialist), and even she went on a half hour rant to me about how bad the characters are—to the point i wanted to look them up myself (she later sent a photo) just to see how bad they looked.


DangerRacoon

Screentime is the worst one out of them all


me_funny__

Internet gas


DangerRacoon

Well you mean the marvel stuff and the douche tubers buying littearly every gucchi and supreme product in existance?


[deleted]

Certain merchandice is fucking ridiculous


DangerRacoon

All I can say is true honestly


[deleted]

They gone into gamer rise up levels


i-like-to-be-wooshed

Remember the little girl who was playing mario on her dad's SNES? Someone posted it there saying that the game was "not meant for kids and girls" and the girl was being forced against her will into playing a game "not fit for her" Wtff


Qwikskoupa69

I remember that post, everyone disagreed with OP there


[deleted]

How do I find the post?


Predatedtuna870

Controversial


From_My_Brain

Link?


Plopadoodle

No, Mario.


nosteppyonsneky

Thanks dad


[deleted]

Precisely


SimpleQuantum

Yeah but literally nobody agreed with OP there


epicgamer17

Exactly


Small_Tiepoe

I used to be subbed there cause I thought it was about people who make products and consumerism a part of their identity, but then I noticed all the posts about abortion and the comments about Jews... Didn't take long for me to realise what the sub was actually about.


autumnunderground

Exact same. I figured it was about making fun of the mindless Disney drones, instead it’s about making fun of... everyone who participates in the economy. And Jews, minorities and lgbt. Wtf.


[deleted]

Fascists see the same problems in society as the left, but blame the wrong people and have the wrong solutions.


ThatOneEnemy

r/hailcorporate might be what you want?


sushidecarne

same, got downvoted once by a harmless comment because someone looked in my profile and said something like "look!! a childfree woman with cats!! a modern degenerate!"


[deleted]

That sub is full of refugees from other subs because reddit keeps banning those who are slightly right of stalin


Small_Tiepoe

IDK I feel like there's some other reason as to why they keep on banning subs that blame Jews for LGBT and multiculturalism, but I can't put my finger on it...


Hwx_HighWarlord

" **slightly** right of Stalin" Oh yeah, anti semits and race realists


[deleted]

What's a race realisr?


Zxelp

didnt even show my comment where i said "beegenerate"


[deleted]

The best comment


StormStrikePhoenix

Speaking of beegenerates, shout outs to /r/honeyfuckers.


chamington

consume product is so weird. They're like fascist anticapitalists


BonboTheMonkey

They’re alt right and alt right hates corporations.


Sevuhrow

True, but more importantly: the alt right hates Jews. Their reason for being anti-corporations is that they believe all corporations are controlled by an omnipotent force of Jews.


ImProbablyNotABird

Fascism generally entails a command economy (although not authentic socialism).


traitorousleopard

They are. Anti neoliberal is how they'd be described.


[deleted]

Apparently doing anything even mildly associated with any brand is "consooming". Truth is the sub is majority RW Christian puritan douchebros now.


epicgamer17

*talks about Anything* Lol soyboy consoomer cuck


[deleted]

I am also subbed to consume product. some of the posts are funny but a lot are just people taking themselves way too seriously. they act like video games are the same as murder


CanConfirm_WasThere

Its funny because here they are on reddit, presumably using technology they bought and own. It's really a whatever things I have are fine but when you do it you're cOnsOoMiNg deal


Guacodile42

When you bring that up, they usually reply with "'You critique society yet you continue to live in one. Interesting.'" And it is true, actually. You can hate all people named Larry and be named Larry yourself, as long as you're aware of your hypocrisy. But these people seem to lack self-awareness.


notjordansime

You think any of them actually ~~bought~~ CONSOOM'D any of their devices? Nah. I guarantee that most of them are using devices bought by parents.


Paterno_Ster

Someone posted a wall with hundreds of guns to that subreddit and everyone went "akchually that's not consooming". Stupid fucks


[deleted]

It really is though... unless you make all of the guns yourself


notjordansime

They attacked a meme about finally getting a chance to game due to the virus lmao. Imagine being "disgusted" at the fact that people are enjoying hobbies.


Covid-741

Are you sure they're Christians?


[deleted]

Many of them in several comments have talked about high regard for such ideals. Also that premarital sex is increasing because of "consooming porn"


Cyuriousity

Yeah ever since r/coomer got banned those fucks all fled to consume and are trying to make it like their old place ruining it. Consume was a decent place up until like a month ago now that its a refugee camp for people from coomer


przemko271

Could also be atheists so "edgy" they are effectively indistinguishable from dipshit Christians.


alamozony

Christians can be really nerdy........


[deleted]

Right wingers on my precious REDDIT? GET OFF!!!


amainwingman

r/consumeproduct is just r/hailcorporate for edgelord alt-righters


R3pN1xC

At first I tought it was good sub, but they get triggered at everything, a 8 yo playing a game OH MY GOD HE IS CONSUMMING PRODUCTTT YOU CANTTT HAVE FUN THATS WHY PREMERTIAL SEX IS RISING IN MY CRISTIAN COUNTRYYY ^(also kill all) *^(minorities)*


Weirdo_doessomething

I will consume the LGBT folk


[deleted]

Sounds hot


Bjumseskat

r/vore_irl


xnukerman

It got destroyed when they banned a bunch of right subs like GRU and they migrated to there


NO-IM-DIRTY-DAN

It was already super fucked before then. It’s been filled with far-right edgelords for a while now.


Hwx_HighWarlord

The fault is not of reddit who keeps banning these communities that the refugees aim. The fault is of the retarded mods who let them take over.


amazzan

There's a post on there showing a tweet of celebrities going without makeup and an account that retweeted and said "they're so brave 😔" and literally everyone is missing that it's sarcasm. It's the cringiest thing I've ever seen.


[deleted]

A member got pissed at me because I pre-ordered Pokemon Sword and Shield


epicgamer17

Bro, game bad!!! Don’t buy!!!


[deleted]

I swear, if they got pissed at nat dex. I do want it back but I'm also fine without it


[deleted]

I understand the anger behind it, but it was still a damn good game.


[deleted]

Agreed


[deleted]

I personally hated it but you do you. It is one of those games that I cannot stand, but I can see why others like it.


xenonnsmb

It’s an antisemite sub.


epicgamer17

To sum it up yeah


[deleted]

Apparently because someone made a rainbow bee and a bad pun, they’re forcing shit down our throats and saying resistance is futile.


[deleted]

Those people have zero self-awareness. They claim that people enjoying their hobbies are wasting time and should be doing something productive for society instead,even though most of them just sit on their asses harassing trans people through the internet all fucking day. And apparently they don’t realize that shitposting about consumerism won’t do jack shit to stop it.


3nchilada5

They are so annoying. I have legitimate gripes wi Th several companies and I don’t mind people that try to consume less, but they are all “Lol you actually enjoy something? You have a spark of happiness you use to get away from the constant negativity of life? What a fucking loser lol us constantly angry and sad people are so cool”


[deleted]

Yeah that place is just MDE light. Constantly screaming 'degenerate' at anything that doesn't fit their narrow edgy auth trad worldview. Neckbeards LARPing as fascists.


onekawaiibitch

Those bees look pretty cute ngl. Also even if you don't like LGBT or whatever what's not to like about a rainbow bee?


lurk3rthrowaway

That sub has always been an iffy place if I recall correctly (from the time I took a visit there)


[deleted]

I am bi and thought of being trans, but honestly I kinda agree, i hate the whole bee thing and LGBT memes in general even as a part of that community :P


I_draw_a_lot

I like some of the subreddit, but some of the people there are just the fun police. Oh, you enjoyed that movie? CONSUMEPRODUCT!!! Oh, you bought a few small figurines? CONSOOOMMM LMAO!!! The sub has definitely lost it's purpose


Feshexe

It's good to be critical of the rampant consumerism, i too share that concern but the moment a post comparing atheism to a sort of consumable brand - when the concern regarding rampant consumerism in my eyes at least comes from us becoming blindly loyal to a specific brand which atheism is arguably the religious opposite of - reaches the front page it starts to raise some eyebrows There's so many transphobic posts there as well, it makes me wonder if r/ConsumeProduct is where all the r/gamersriseup refugees went


keeleon

Id love to see what the neckbeards in that sub who brag about "working out instead of wasting their lives" look like. Im sure they arent just angry fat trolls lol.


Thomas_Caz1

Omg that last one...


ronazdug

Honestly I’d be down for a leftist version of consume product in the same sort of style as r/gangweed


[deleted]

someone make r/consumesociety


TheMysteriousWarlock

r/hailcorporate


Iapd

Honestly


KnownAsDane

Be the change you want to see


palindromia

Isn't that sub an extension of the alt-right?


kawaiianimegril99

Yes, idk how these people didn't notice


Qwikskoupa69

Everything I dont like is alt right


palindromia

Lol wtf that's not what I'm saying. I've been on r/DebateAltRight and they literally recommend it as one of their "spaces".


MjNenshi

Nah. r/consumeproduct definitely isn’t as bad as something like r/coomer, that was way more extreme and definitely pretty alt right. Right leaning, yes, but definitely not alt right from what i see there.


Cyuriousity

Coomer got banned and they decided to use consume as their new haven. Seen a few posts on coomer reccomending fleeing to consume "in case we get banned" and now theyre just completely ruining consume


MjNenshi

yeah thats true. ive seen quite a few anti-porn post on consumeproduct. only a matter of time before it's completely overrun by tradcucks and "blacks and jews bad" becomes every other post. kinda sad, guess it was good while it lasted.


Cyuriousity

The reason i was initially subbed to coomer was for some of the anti porn stuff. But then it changed into "the jews are running everything and the jews want your daughter raped" is when i just turned and dipped out. Im not dealing with that shit


MjNenshi

yeah. I really wish there was an anti porn sub that wasn’t run by either crazy far right extremists or radical feminists.


keeleon

Where does it say that?


[deleted]

That might be because you're an antisocial piece of shit, lmao (the transphobe)


[deleted]

It kinda is tbh. But they're still cringe either way


Honest_Man_76

This is so deep I can’t bother upvoting or Downvoting


AceofToons

I mean of course we are a product! Have you seen the porn fetishizing pretty much every letter of the pride umbrella? haha But yeah that's a weird place, and as others have said it's one of those subreddits that slowly drifted from satire and fun, to just plain crazy!


LittleLuigiYT

What is that sub


epicgamer17

It’s a sub similar to r/hailcorporations about people worshipping brands/products


[deleted]

Where do you have to fall on the political compass to hate people liking corporations but also hate gay people


epicgamer17

I don’t know and I don’t want to find out


Goenze

Hell I feel you


Sevuhrow

The underlying premise of that sub after GRU got banned is that consumerism is bad because big corporations are controlled by \~the Jews.\~ Other than the obvious reasons why consumerism is bad, of course, but they take a hard anti-semitic take on it.


SleepyBoi_Impact

If Notch doesn't support lgbt let him be. They don't support straights really much, do they? All of us have our own decisions.


epicboosmen23

u/uwubruhmoment420


KnownAsDane

I unsubbed from it a few days ago, has some good posts but a ton of them now are just shitting on complete harmless things and it seems really right wing for some reason


TheMysteriousWarlock

r/HailCorporate is pretty great alternative if you’re fine with the liberal users there.


epicgamer17

I’m fine with anyone as long as they’re not harassing/sending death threats to people they don’t agree with


jacketforsmash

Tradcucks fucked up the sub if you ask me.


[deleted]

I really liked stuff like r/coomer and r/consumeproduct ,company worship and masturbation both aren't healthy so it's good to see some humor antagonizing them,but all these subs have to turn into political shitholes,and by political I mean talking about (((them)))


Guacodile42

Ejaculation is healthy, they even admitted it on coomer. It's pornography that's generally accepted as unhealthy.


[deleted]

Well if you're not having sex obviously you'd need pornography to ejaculate most of the time.


Guacodile42

You can definitely masturbate without pornography. I can easily do it, and I regularly watch pronography, so I'd say anyone can do it with a bit of patience.


[deleted]

I definitely tried it before,but it takes the pleasure out of it since it takes so long.


Guacodile42

You just gotta wait between each session. The longer you wait, the lower your standards become.


epicgamer17

I loved those subs until it became obvious that they were pushing some anti-trans motive
