I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.

      Not only the humans, we have feelings too!

      Isn’t the whole point to dehumanise them?

      They’re calling them a “none playable character” after all.

        I think the implication is that the person is thoughtlessly following an ideology, in the same way most people using the term are.

      Isn’t the point to claim someone is not thinking for themselves and is just going with whatever is popular at the moment? Like he has no real agency?

      I do this, and it is because I consider some people as soulless entities purely put here to stir up drama for this terrible reality show we all live in.
