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.

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.
