> They never said they don't care about consumer right
They didn't need to. Describing it as "just" drama means that you find the subject matter performative and unwarranted, that's what makes something "just drama".
> I hope I never produce the words "return to mindless consuming" just because someone dared to criticize my idol
I invoked "mindless consumption" because of how ridiculously dismissive they were acting towards the discussion about consumer rights, i.e. mindful consumption.
Criticize him all you want, but don't get upset when someone calls you out for criticizing a baseless straw man.
It would be difficult to judge me as being upset because of your criticism since I've never responded to your criticism before.
And for not needing to say it: actually yes it is needed. Nobody said consumer rights are performative, it was said that Rossmann is performative and trying to generate drama and clicks. Even if not true, it's a valid opinion that doesn't make anyone a mindless consumer, quite the opposite. But regardless, those are not the same things, unless you see Rossmann (and possibly yourself) as the gatekeeper of this issue.
