nyt ollaan suomalaisen roskarunouden ytimessä
missä mun temppisperhe
muistin yhtäkkii, et me suunniteltiin viime yönä jojo's bizarre temptation island suomi, ja kesken kaiken mä kirkkaasti julistin: diavolo on niinku bile-dani!
There's something uncomfortable in young (20 and under) influencers at least in finnish reality. I feel very bad toward them. We've always had fame hungry amoral people in reality shows and I'm not that interested in judging them (especially since most of them have some past mental health etc issues which contribute to both their desperation to be seen and the nature of content they create. and often get exploited and played way more than they manage to exploit the fame structure itself), they've given some of the most iconic lines in all of tv history to me. But the difference between these older icons and the newer kids is the complete crumbling of the public/personal divide. With older celebs the private got exploited as well, tabloids seeking into personal lifes, personal exploitation of family and your own trauma etc. But there was a person outside the public persona, there was a private life and something they could fall back into that wasn't about the stardom. Old friends who weren't famous, previous life working a normal job (since social media and tv shows became a thing only when they were already young adults at least) to which stardom was an exiting contrast.
But with the newer kids, there is no personal or private anymore at all. There's no life outside of stardom since they all have started to gain fame so young. Before their first job or big life decision. They've grown with social media and many have nothing outside of their influencer fame. All their friends are content creators, all their relationships transactional. There really is no private persona anymore because you have no one to use it with. There's no private parts of you, all your hobbies are exploited for content, your job is the content. Everyone around you, everything around you, places content creation above all else, so naturally you do also.
Which leads to. Been watching temptation island finland for 5 years now, on and off and I haven't seen as much disregard for others before the newest two seasons which included younger social media influencers (rap artist and tiktok star). It's one of the most watched reality shows, or tv shows all together, in finland. While I've previously also had a problem with the way the show exploits young working class couples from smaller cities, (making them first go through horrible things (watching your partner cheat, degrade you, being away from home, for many of these people this happens for the first time in their life) live in front of the whole nation and then not giving them proper mental health or public image help nor stepping inbetween when the public attacks them if they're seen as "morally failing/bad person" due to the show.) ie. the show being too raw and real, it is harrowing to see someone use the show completely as a publicity stunt for themselves (most people are there for fame, but they still go along with the show/be somewhat themselves and make real friends. in the good and in the bad, that is the selling point of the show). especially since in both cases it sends the influencer's partner into what seems like genuine anguish, unlike almost any other breakdowns in the show before. (the influencers talk really cruelly about their partners and the rap artist made cheating into a whole career) there's this uncanniness in the way they act, never revealing anything about themselves yet talking all the time. Getting annoyed at genuine showcases of emotion from other people around them, uncomfortable or more so, existentially confused maybe?, with the way the others aren't playing the same game, inhabiting the same universe as them. it sucks to see, but i can't bring myself to blame them. they're kids. how are you supposed to learn humanity or trust if no one around you acts human or gives you a reason to trust them? the tiktok star's mom signed him and his partner to the show.
