i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

I will not call myself or other people "gooners" or "npcs" or "larpers". i will not call things i dont like "slop". i will not use terms like "-oids". i dont like how common language is slowly becoming more focused on shorthand terms for hate and apathy

#gen z-alpha culture just seems to exist in an incredibly bizarre intersection of 1984 and South Park #like. Can't say 'suicide' or 'rape' but race eugenics is baked into the everyday slang #'woke' went from an AAVE term for protection from systemic racism to a word solely used by (barely) covert racists for anything they dislik #it's like this paper-thin veneer of almost infantilising cutesy euphemistic advertiser-friendly politeness #masking some truly appalling underlying beliefs #that people are rapidly losing the literacy and language to even unpack #identity = aesthetic and 'it's not that deep' #algorithmic bubbles either lock you in an echo chamber and shield you from exposure to other points of view #or feed you content designed specifically to make you angry because enragement is still engagement! #how do you even tell people that it IS that deep and yes you SHOULD care without sounding like a foil-hatted conspiracy nut?

Don't worry the audience extrapolated it back out. You zip the file and communicate it, they unzip it.

I spent like thirty minutes trying to get one good picture where he doesn't look like a disappointed father who just learned his daughter wants to drop out of medical school to marry her highschool sweetheart who's life ambition is weed.

I failed.

Now he's disappointed in me too 😞
