Somebody should make a movie around this message of jaded adults refinding their humanity in an absurd, hyperconsumerist world through the rejection of cynicism and embracing of liking things again, but cleverly disguise it as a movie made to sell plastic dolls to little girls to play on the concept of hyperconsumerism.
I think this hypothetical movie will be a smashing success in the box office. And probably win the lead actress an Oscar this year.
I don't criticize people for enjoying those things, I criticize the corporations for relentlessly monetizing those things, making them insufferable and sucking all the enjoyment out of them for money.
If you are seriously annoyed by any of these things, then it should be a reminder of how unburdened and care free your life is that such a thing actually bugs you, and spark a sense of pride and contentment instead.
Guy across the street spent the weekend putting up Halloween decorations with his daughter. We can this guy "Heavy metal dad" because year round he displays pentagram flags, and wears heavy metal band shirts with the sleeves cut off all year. It's great.
If I can't criticize every insignificant difference in lifestyle that I have with a stranger that I probably won't ever talk to again in my life. How else will I stroke my ego and fulfill my basic need of feeling superior to others?
Only hate the really early Halloween decorations at the store when they take away summer things early. Sometimes I need a new pool float in late august...
Also, it's important for everyone to feel comfortable expressing their dislike for things, so long as jumping on hateful-bandwagons isn't a source of social credit.
Sure, as soon as you stop bombarding me with advertisements for these things to the point I retch at the very sight.
Fucking seriously my local Lowe's had the Halloween decorations on display before the end of August. Two whole entire months am I getting BLEAURGH'd at by an injection molded demon every time I walk in to buy some screws and a quart of stain. Of course the Christmas decorations are going to be out on November 1st. Remember when there were only 12 days of Christmas? Now there's something like 60.
