I don't get why people do this, either.

Although I do have two White Lotus shirts. One's a sweatshirt, though!

(WL fans, the Abercrombie collaboration is the BEST. This is the nicest fandom merch I have ever bought. Most HBO merch is garbage, but these are nice; embroidered text and logos, no "HBO" visible branding there to ruin it.

They fucked up Succession merch so badly. They are not serious people.

Because we have a void in our hearts we can only fill with stuff.

^ THIS
I was a collector until a few years ago. I collected games, action figures, keychains, doujinshi and manga. Then I went to therapy.
It's not the same for anyone, obviously, but in my case I was collecting fandom merch (and not that much either) because I was trying to fit into the role I projected onto myself. Like, I'm a fan of X so I have to have X to "be happy". Now that my ego is stronger and I don't depend on external factor that much to determine myself (objects or other people's opinion of me) I let go of A LOT of "identities" and stuff tied to them.

Absolutely. That's what my overconsumption and shopping addiction problem is from. I am trying to fix something with stuff, and it doesn't work. But it feels good in the moment, so I keep doing it.
