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.

as a non-native speaker it's still crazy to me that the word 'consumption' is used about media
it drives me fucking nuts.. its such a derogatory word that the capitalist class uses to refer to the rest of us as if we're festering leeches, when in reality they're the leeches.
But it's seriously disturbing how readily people accept the moniker and incorporate it into their own vernacular.
"NOOOOO THIS CORPORATION IS NOT BEING WHOLESOME IN ITS BUSINESS PRACTICES IT SHOULD BE MORE CONSUMER FRIENDLY"
lol seriously
Moviegoers who VORE
If you don’t mind me asking, would you be ok with sharing the connotations of the word used in your native language regarding the “consumption”/“use”/ect of media?
I agree that the eating connotations of consumption are weird when applied to a movie.
you watch a movie, you read a book, you listen to music etc.
we have words equivalent to 'consumer' and 'consumption.' they're generally used for products and services, not media. and they don't have a connotation to eating. a 'consumer' can buy an apple, but we wouldn't use the word consume about the act of eating the apple.
Thank you for explaining.
