sometimes I think the obsession with being scared of turning [X] years old is due to our society thinking that we have expiration dates for our dreams and achievements, but the reality is that life is so much more versatile and complex with so much more beauty than we ever were exposed to in media so we didn't think possible, anyway, we are the custodians of our dreams and they dont care about your age

Due to my weird childhood and my weird brain, I have this very unhelpful compulsion to conceal Everything I do from Everyone. I Cannot be observed performing any action, no matter how mundane. My nervous system is convinced I'm gonna, like, Get In Trouble for eating food at dinnertime or sleeping in my bed at bedtime.
I've taken to asking myself, "Okay does this task actually require subterfuge or am I stealing a balloon on Free Balloon Day"
This is so silly but I'm watching a short video essay on sincerity in cinema and the creator is talking about how he watched Lord of the Rings for the first time at 17. He explains that he'd grown so used to the 'ironic' meta style commentary in the movies of the 2010's that as he was watching the opening narration of LotR, he spent the entire time waiting for the joke to come. For someone to take it all back with a zinger line. He listened to Blanchett describe and explain the backstory, and he waited for the other comedic shoe to drop.
And he kept doing it. Scene after scene.
He spent the film expecting someone to make a joke about how unserious things were or to break the fourth wall or do some other self referential type thing.
Now, maybe I'm just at that point in my cycle or maybe I'm too delicate in general, but I literally teared up hearing that. Straight up cried a bit. It is so fucking sad that sincerity and genuineness is being bred out of people.
People say all the time 'this generation can't take anything seriously!' and really, is it any wonder? Younger people have been trained out of it. You are no longer encouraged to be genuine or show emotion or be honest. You are actively punished for it. In fact, you are almost guaranteed to suffer for it.
That is so fucked up. I'm sorry to go on a bit of a random ramble rant but it's so fucking gut wrenching to see younger people lose that element of themselves. You can't express your passion without being told you're 'crashing out' or 'cringe'. You have to live in this neutral state of fear of perception, and god forbid anybody step outside of it!
You're told you should only consume and succumb and be ironic and emotionless and cool.
Listen, if you're following me and you're like.... 25 or under, let's say. Please. I beg of you. Do not fall for this rhetoric. Please, for the love of all things, feel. Feel and create and be honest with yourself. Indulge in things that make you happy. Be sincere. Wear your heart on your sleeve. Do not let this hyper-capitalistic, hyper-consumerist, self-centred, individualist culture take that from you.
Bleed yourself into the work you create. Live. Don't fucking let anyone tell you different.
Holy shit yes. I also saw the same video and it had a very heavy impact on me.
This reminds me of something my creative writing professor once said a few semesters ago. As a little background, he has been teaching at my university for nearly 4 decades now, and even now that he's technically retired, he keeps coming back for these creative writing courses.
He told us that one of the most concerning developments he has seen in students over the years is this fear of being embarassed. (He couldn't think of the word 'cringe' but it was obvious that was the sentiment he was talking about)
He explained that the fundamental building block of any artistic endeavor is always a certain vulnerability, at least when it comes to portraying human emotions because ultimately, that is precisely what you aim to evoke in your viewers/readers! The fact that the "creator" has become someone so terrified of being perceived by others as silly or "corny" leads them to preemptively defusing the work's earnestness for the audience, thereby sacrificing sincerity as a form of self-protection. While this approach can be fitting and funny in certain moments and genres, "cringe culture" has caused it to bleed into every form of art, even into works where its presence ultimately diminishes the sincerity of the piece itself.
I cannot possibly reproduce his entire lecture here, but the bottom line was this: The fear of being socially ostracized and excluded for no other reason than being emotionally vulnerable or different or "weird" or silly is (not always, but often) a sign of a radicalizing society.
Not to be the friend that's too woke but cringe culture is not just bullying on a larger scale. It can be an early warning sign of fascism.

before i go to bed because im ill again i just briefly want to say that white people's adoration and frankly over the top love of (certain) animals taking precedence over their care about people of color is disturbing and needs to be dealt with. saw an insta reel today of a girl who adopted a cat whose owners were abducted by ICE and the comments were just filled with "omg the poor cat!" "i feel so bad for the cat!" "omg it probably thinks it was abandoned!!!" "omg the cat!!" okay and what about the owners. what about the people who owned that cat and loved it and will probably never see it again. the owners that like no one knows the names of? the owners? like the people that owned the cat that got kidnapped so suddenly their cat was just left? what about the people. the owners. like remember them? people who are living their worst nightmare?
or the way yt people will prioritize animals in gaza over the humans that live there. or the way yt people will prioritize animals over like real human laborers farming in unsafe and deadly conditions for their agave or whatever vegan trend of the month. or the way yt ppl will tout ecofascist talking points in favor of animals and against human beings. or the way yt people try and push universal veganism instead of food sovereignty and dismiss the culinary traditions of indigenous groups. and and and
fucked that you can’t fix other people especially when you really care about them. Oh so im just supposed to be there for you while you suffer. like a useless cunt gargoyle
