The consumption is the point. They just want candy not a meal. They want fucking marvelslop not Cinema.

Inb4 let people enjoy things, the mindset on display is a perfect member of capitalist society. A mindless consumption machine.

    When did we all start "consuming" everything? I've never consumed a media in my life. I've watched a lot of movies and tv shows. I've read a number of books, magazines, and newspaper articles. I've played lots of games. But why do people insist on using capitalist slang to describe their own habits. It's bad enough they call everyone "CONSOOMERS" for everything in state media, but why bring it on yourself too?

      Hard agree. I hate how the words “consume” and “content” are excessively used

        I disagree, they are perfect words for describing capitalist commodities and our mindless absorption of them as a society. To use other words would be to conceal the fundamental truth of their use and our relationship to the world as capitalist subjects. Capitalist subjects consume commodities, they slurp the whole world up until nothing is left. Accept what we are don’t hide it
