Everything is connected 🌎

Just making sure you’ve all seen “We Are… Robin” preview or basically chapter #0

I just feel like people love microdosing the aesthetic of body dysmorphia without actually discussing dysmorphia. Like, that tall girl movie made a huge point about being discriminated against for being tall… which sounded ridiculous. The ironic part is that the actor actually did get a demeaning situation that body shamed her height on a beauty pageant drama show.

That said, I was watching a Youtuber I liked in a centrist charity event and I just feel very annoyed trying to watch ittttttttttttttttttt y’all I swear they rigged the game because they’re RACISTTT RACISMMM i swearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr they micro-aggression-ed SO HARD

I like these fun crossover connection mingling events but it’s hard being apolitical sometimes, i think it’s because it’s sponsored. Favorite comment response to the whole thing is “I’m switching to Geico.” This sponsership lowkey made me not want to use their insurance.

They wanted drama and a Kevin Hart comedic relief gag character, but THEY DID NOT GET ONE 👏 I do think that’s a particularly frustrating situation to be put in and it’s hard to determine how to react safely that’s still seen as socially appropriate. They’re ragebaiting him, not in a friendly competitive manner, but giving genuine disrespect. If it was just banter then it would be fine but they were doing way more than necessary. Good job with the PR training but if still showed anger that would still be an acceptable reaction imo. It’s kinda annoying that socially, we have to consider that even if we get disrespected, we have to be calm and collected. Logically i guess it shows competence and maturity? But somebody really needed to confront the people in charge directly, I want an explanation.

l've noticed that a lot of these people view media and art not as an experience that encourages creativity and critical thinking, but as a drug they take specifically to avoid all that.

It's escapism in its truest form: a belief that art should not aspire to anything greater than cheap, mindless capital-C Content specifically for you. And if a creator dares to stray away from that path even a little, it's not only a grave moral failure on their part, but a deeply personal attack on you that must be punished, with nothing you do in pursuit of that possibly being disproportionate.

And once it's over, they move onto the next fandom like nothing ever happened like a carrion bird tracking down its next meal.

Kleptomania was historically developed as a protection and I guess anti-insult for rich people stealing since stealing is considered something only poor people do. But statistically it’s been shown that rich people are generally more likely to steal than poor people (lots of nice friendly respectful poor neighbors imo). See, it’s understandable for why a poor person would steal, they have nothing so they need to eat and sleep. But for a rich privileged person to steal from your basic grocery store? What for? They must be crazy!

I think it’s the pop psychology buzzword-ification of mental disorders tbf.
