My hot take on the Topher Grace vs Danny Masterson and most of the 70s Show cast boils down to this.

It was fucked up that Topher Grace got villanized by the press for basically not wanting to play workplace politics. Because ultimately, that's what being on set essentially is, being in a workplace, and behind the glitz and glamor, acting is just that, a job that gets the bills paid. Capitalism often dictates us to have this attitude of our workplace being, "like a family", which is really fucked up. Nobody deserves to be treated like a bad person for not wanting to hang out with their co-workers after work, it's not an obligation.

But I don't think that what Topher Grace did is praiseworthy, and again, please don't create saviors out of celebrities (esp White celebs) or put them on pedestals for basically doing the bare minimum, not doing something shitty.

Internet brain results from spending too much time on the internet. It manifests as an inability to focus for long periods of time; a strong desire to “check” something — be it social media, email, trending topics, or your favorite newspaper’s landing page — even, and perhaps especially, when you don’t actually want to; a constant feeling of adrenaline that is somewhere between excitement and anxiety; a lack of patience for anything that is inherently slow; and a significantly harder time being present in offline life, such as constantly needing to pick up your phone.
