>>2467662Chiikawa is honestly one of the most boring mascot characters to me, at least with Sanrio they change up their characters looks regularly and put them in different fashions
Chiikawa just stares blankly at you and I honestly find him kind of ugly.
Though my point is more that Jaiden’s a basic bitch over anything else, like wow congratulations you like Pokemon, Miku, One piece and Chiikawa you’re oh so original and special, even in her video she was acting as if she discovered Chiikawa overseas even though they’ve been selling merch of it at miniso for like a year now kek.

>>2467665>>2467667>Chiikawa just stares blankly at you>Mickey is originally from animated shorts but still 100% mascot characternot to defend chiikawa consoomers but the comic/show is actually pretty fun, it's different from actual mascots like san-x and sanrio where the older characters were made first then the show(s) were made to sell merchandise. chiikawa started off as a comic. i wouldn't buy anything since i don't really like how any of the characters look, but the actual show is funny. i'd respect some autist into old mickey cartoons over a consoomer any day as long as they dont use their autism to justify overspending on random mickey themed junk

>>2467661it's because she's a hypocrite who bends over backwards to be a handmaiden and "morally correct" despite owning multiple figures from series decried by internet brainlets as irredeemable/
problematic. not to mention she spreads misinfo on jp subcul and fandom culture in general while acting like an authority about it. she's annoying and lame.
>>2467665honestly i think chiikawa is less egregious since like that other anon said it all started off as a comic (originally published on nagano's twitter iirc). the difference is that sanrio/disney/etc are all built around selling merch. sanrio in particular, since mascots typically get merch before featuring in shows or becoming fixtures at puroland. it kinda just hit a sweet spot with the pandemic where a lot of people became obsessed with it and nagano decided to make some sweet bucks off it's success. i do agree that the consoom around it is pretty wacky, though. JP fans in particular are wild.

It's not nearly as heinous as family vlogging or parents filming their toddlers in bikinis eating ranch-covered cucumbers, but it's got to take a toll on the kids whose childhoods were built for engagement. Imagine how crushing it'd be to learn that all the attention and gifts you got from your parents were nothing more than a way to rake in views and all your childhood milestones were remembered by the amount of views they pulled in or the sponsorships they landed your parents.

>>2494315Well, for me personally, there are a few reasons why I feel it's a detrimental habit to have. Waste of money being the most obvious reason. Sure, it brings joy for a moment and you can argue that it's not a complete waste of money because of that but I don't think it's healthy to rely on objects as sources of happiness. Plus, there's just something kind of mentally ill to me about owning a large hoard of objects that are so similar-looking and also take up way too much space. I look at my stupid collection and it brings me some happiness I guess but when I think about it objectively, it's extremely retarded. It's become an autistic "gotta collect them all" thing for me as the companies just keep spitting out the same shit but with different colors and increasingly cheaper materials.
Also, blogposting here but I nearly bought another stupid plush animal pillow the other day. However, I managed to stop myself from doing it after thinking more about my mental illness and how poorly-made these products actually are. Hopefully I'll finally stop the autism for good and just be happy with what I have already.

>>2494315All consoomers justify their consooming with “but I really like it though”. Even the ones who are easily swept up in trends and buy things on a whim only to get rid of them shortly after believe at the time of buying that they really like or need the things they’re buying.
>>2495075Where are you coming across these products? It might help to limit your exposure to them, and only pay attention to the ones you already have. You’re absolutely right that companies deliberately feed into this urge to collect that many of us have and the best way to resist it is to completely ignore the existence of the new products. You can’t experience FOMO if you’re unaware that you’re ‘missing out’ on anything (because you aren’t, not really, you don’t need any of this stuff). Maybe you can also make a point of saving the money and only treating yourself with something more meaningful occasionally while still building up a little nest egg for yourself. You can do it, anon! After a while large collections become sources of stress (taking up space, collecting filth etc.) so this sounds like a good point to stop adding to it and simply enjoy what you have.

Sometimes I think about my collections that I actually enjoy, like I have a pretty big variety of dolls I customized and made characters of my stories with, but sometimes I look at my huge AF itabag full of husbando merch and it really hits me.
This stuff will outlive me. Especially considering I am chronically ill bordering on disabled.
Why waste my money on this. I like surrounding myself with pretty things, recently I started turning my interest towards artists merch, like prints and badges, but sometimes, when I think of it all realistically… Sure, my room is pretty to me. It's joyful to see my favourite things surrounding me, I also like the feeling of what little control of my life I can get.
But then I remember why I only thrift for clothes and frequent junk and overstock shops and no-buy groups for everything else in my life. Because if it's already in the world, I don't do more damage.
I feel like a hypocrite sometimes. Like I am pretty much eco-friendly, except for my huge fuck-off collections that sometimes feel like the joy of my life, my favourite hobby I can still do (I craft and customize and so and so) and sometimes feel like I am drowning what is left of my life in denial.

With dolls, I buy new sometimes, more than I'd like.
The issue is not really that. Is that I am, a person who's making smarter decisions about environment, lives in a pile of plastic that will outlive them still.
I don't know, I just got existential dread out the ass recently. Also in time for spring cleaning, I am already in a "I don't really enjoy this particular merch" mood and been selling some pieces, but sometimes I feel like I want to get rid of all of it since it all kinda seems pointless at times.
