Why is Valentine's day such a big deal in America? I swear no other countries take Valentine's day this seriously

Why is Valentine's day such a big deal in America? I swear no other countries take Valentine's day this seriously.

Japan does too

>that fat hand

Because it's a marketing ploy to get more money, and our society is hypercapitalist.

I feel like I would be a good American.

Commercialism.

You make it seem like a bad thing.

I've never done anything for Valentine's Day

;_;

It isn't unless you have a girlfriend or wife.

>Why is Valentine's day such a big deal in America?

Money.

Why else would the feast day of a third century Roman martyr be celebrated. It certainly isn't about romance. What the fuck does being killed by Romans have to do with romance?

But there are so many fun things to do with your girlfriend on Valentine's day!

It still isn't a big deal. Missing Valentine in America is like getting a divorce.

Seemed more like user was stating facts.

>is like getting a divorce
That isn't a big deal for the women; most of them are doing it.

that’s not a hand. that’s the hoof of a butthurt femimarxist hamplanet who will get no attention on the mother of all romantic holidays.
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>one of commercialized events in Japan
>Halloween, Xmass, St.Valentine's day, Easter to Shintoists/Buddhists, what's next?

At least you guys have quite a few Christians

Totalitarianism

something something consumerism

...

I get fucking pissed when I see couples in public. KEEP THAT SHIT INSIDE.

GOOD GOYS BUY MORE YES YES. CELEBRATE JESUS SPEND MORE MONEY. AHAHA

Fuck you America for Valentines.

Your day is celebrated in India to crap out on singles :((

Seems like she was ROMANCED

>crap
I see what you did there.

It's a fake holiday used to make money. It's simple to ignore it. I've celebrated plenty of V days and there is nothing special about it. If anything its kind of a hassle because restaurants are crowded.

it's a commercial "holiday", businesses are out there to make big money after the january slow

chocolate day…

designated crapping out streets

Because holidays are a good time for commercialism.
Make your product themed around that holiday and shit it out like the chinese workers who made it are fucking usein bolt of manual labour and enjoy the money you "earned" trough "hard work"

Its fucking hilarious here to pass in front of motels and see rows of cars with horny couples waiting mins or sometimes hours just to fuck in that specific day
You have it in hungary too?

Thank god it's haram to celebrate this here.
>you still can celebrate it in private though

What an autistic ovservation to make.

>tfw every holiday in America is an excuse to consume candy
>tfw buying discounted leftover candy in bulk the day after

Tfw heard about that fact that Valentines Day is about chocolate in America about 2 years ago. BTW, speaking about Japan, I' ve knew it since beeing animufag, i. e. ~ 4.5 years.

Here it is just giving heart-shaped postcard with shitty rhymes with main idea "I luv u"

>buying cheap candy the day after a holiday
Mein neger, they are always the best.

I always end up "with my dick on my hand"(its a expression we use to say we got nothing), and have to listen to bitches crying because they got no Chad overlord to fuck them - while the only thing i wanted was just a random bitch to love me. And here it is in June
