Did you seriously just write that zoomers buying horse armor caused my groceries and rent to get more expensive

They really did. The victim blaming is insane. These companies spend money to leverage psychology in their favor to get people addicted to the dopamine rushes from things like microtransactions and loot boxes. Not everyone is able to resist that kind of conditioning on such a large scale.

You clearly have very little experience in the real world. People need to do better, because the freedom of the press and the propensity of businesses to provide goods and services isn't going anywhere.

Just like being responsible for who you vote for, and a vehicle that you drive, you need to take some responsibility for the things you do, and what makes you act.

This is a common argument used to blame victims in rape cases - "she was wearing something provocative and I couldnt control my impulses".

Your reaction to certain things is within your control. It is up to you to do something about it. If you aren't in control and you are addicted to something, then get help - it's that simple.

This adolescent infancy must stop if anything is to move forwards.

I can tell I have more experience in the real world just from your comment. Nothing is black and white and you not being able to understand others doesn't change their reality or the world's reality. Have a nice day and hopefully are able to grow and gain more experience and knowledge of the world moving forward.

"Nothing is black and white"

Or in other words, you have no point to make and just wanted to try and have a closing comment, offering nothing of substance to the point or the discussion other than a sarcastic "have a nice day" and some vague virtue signalling/insult. Well, thanks for wrapping up the discussion for me I suppose...

I understand people very well, I have had a long career of doing so. To suggest that people have no responsibility for what they consume is incel-level pathetic. Touch some grass and grow up.
