We’re baaaacccckkkkkkk! svdbygrcty has graciously volunteered to be a part of this collaborative post. Get ready for some awesome ranting! :)

endodo: So recently, I just wrote an essay analyzing propaganda in American society. Even on tumblr, I see so much propaganda. The whole “follow me” button is like an advertisement, wouldn’t you agree? Of course, this whole post will also be a type of propaganda of our beliefs but I hope that you won’t just “buy” our ideas, so to speak. It’s just something that I have been thinking about. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind [as much] if it’s people just thanking their followers or emphasizing a certain issue; I start to dislike it when people actually start promoting themselves or, even worse, start to complain about the lack of followers. In my humble opinion, it’s quite ridiculous especially if it’s a blog that’s supposed to help to unite people in Christ. Instead of that, the writer will spend some time promoting themselves and asking people to “follow” them. Shouldn’t it be about following God rather than following the individual? You can’t promote yourself and God at the same time. Just like the idea of how you can’t want material success and a relationship with God at the same time. svdbygrcty: It’s definitely very ironic that people do that. Most people start off on tumblr with the intent to just write, but as they go along, gaining more and more followers, they then start catering to their followers. In that sense, they start to lose some of their authenticity because now they worry about the people reading their posts, and not really writing from the heart. For me, personally, I rarely ever look at the number of followers I have…Nor do I really care if people decide to unfollow me. Honestly, I don’t know how many people exactly read my blog at all, and I do hope that at least the people I care about do like endodo but other than that, I write because I like writing, not because I’m trying to please people. endodo: I think that when people lose a follower on tumblr, they don’t actually care about the individual or the individual’s interests. The only thing that matters is the numbers and so in essence, people are just numbers to them. If you’ve read Viktor Frankl’s book, Man’s Search for Meaning, you’ll understand what I mean. Example is how like so many people are posting “10 more followers and I’ll hit 500!” or “I lost two followers this week!” They don’t even know their names because all they see are the numbers. How sad. svdbygrcty: Yeah they don’t care about the actual people at all, which is just ridiculous. It’s almost like another case of “quantity over quality” or whatever. I mean, does it really matter all that much? As long as you’re doing what you enjoy doing..then what do the numbers matter? endodo: I think it’s because some people create this online identity because in reality, they don’t have many friends or they don’t feel comfortable expressing their thoughts in person. Tumblr gives them the opportunity to become a new, confident individual. I’ve read a lot of people’s tumblrs expressing how they’re so happy to have so many Christian online friends because they don’t have many, if at all, Christian friends in real life. I think that’s really interesting… svdbygrcty: Sad [is what she wanted to say]. Yeah, but it’s totally true. Like, you never know. The person who sounds all spiritual and mature online could be a completely different person in real life and not even live out what he/she is talking about on a blog. It’s ridiculously easy to create an entirely different personality online when possibly not many people know you in real life. But it’s almost scary to think that some people could be like that. It’s incredibly hypocritical and fake..

endodo: Like svdbygrcty, I’m not into following people either. I know I’ve probably addressed my followers on my blog, but that’s really because I’m addressing the people I know who are reading it. If I’ve ever advertised my blog, forgive me, because it was unconsciously done. Um…I mean, everybody advertises themselves sometime. I just think it’s verging on extremism to care so much about getting famous on tumblr. I know I mentioned the Christian blogs earlier that I used to follow. When I do follow someone, it’s because I really like their posts and think that they’re insightful. However, when these people gain a lot of attention, they start compromising themselves. I see less insightful things and more posts to appeal to the masses. That’s what bugs me, when people start off differently and then start paying attention to things like followers when they shouldn’t just care. svdbygrcty: Exactly. I have recently unfollowed someone’s tumblr, actually. This person actually had really great posts once upon a time, and I enjoyed reading them, however unknown said person was to me. However, after all while, it seemed like this person started caring more about followers than anything else, and it just got boring having my dashboard spammed by such nonsense. I do quite enjoy reading deep and insightful writings, which is why I followed the person in the first place, but there’s no point once it gets to that stage where I’m bored and end up skipping over that whole section of my dashboard.

endodo: Haha yeah. I’ve actually been tempted to just post only Korean stuff or Christian stuff on my blog. But then that would be stupid because I have so many interests and it’s MY blog, not the blog of others. Mm and so this is why I post whatever I want, because I want to stay true to myself and not let a little tumblr fame get to my head.

svdbygrcty: On that note...this is also an interesting concept that applies even to celebrities. You hear of these celebrities that started out really clean and wholesome…untainted, basically. Until after a while, all the corruption of the media industry and the world gets to them, and they end up like completely different people than what they started out as. I’m sure we could all think of quite a few examples of such people.

endodo: Ah, celebrities. Yes, we’ve all heard of a couple of celebrities that have advocated for Christianity in the past. What are a couple of celebrities that I’m thinking about? Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry (formerly known as Katy Hudson), Jessica Simpson, among others. I’ve always wondered what happened to their belief systems. I think that when you’re surrounded by worldly success, it ultimately alters your state of consciousness. I don’t blame them exactly but when you get into that situation, it’s your choice to continue pursuing success or to give up because you’ve started. As we can see from a couple of examples on tumblr, these people changed. And it’s only just tumblr so it must be really difficult to remain true to yourself once you hit a celebrity status. svdbygrcty: Yeah, it’s pretty discouraging if you think about it. Being well known comes with a responsibility because a lot of people are watching you. Many probably look to you for inspiration, as a role model..

Hello, we’re back! This is endodo4ever and svdbygrcty, collaborating again after our first discussion on Christianity. This is another discussion on Christianity, but like the hinted title, we’re about to discuss relationships. Oh, and reality TV shows, marriage, and any other random things that come to mind. It will be kind of like a discursive rambling, but it shall be quite entertaining nonetheless! Since this discussion could be endless, there will be a second part, maybe even a third…or a fourth. Hahaha. Just kidding on the last one. But maybe. Join us? [Disclaimer: Um, I don't think we actually discussed much of Christianity ideals about relationships in this one. You'll have to wait for that in the next part(s).]

endodo4ever: As a single person who has never been in an official relationship before, I feel like I know so much about relationships already, even though I have yet to experience it for myself. I mean, if you turn on the TV right now, you’ll be thrust into a whole web of ‘em. In like every (and I mean it when I say every) show, there will always be some romance in it. Or, at least in all the shows that I watch. Goodness, what has relationships come to these days? More like “Heeeeyyy, you’re good-looking. :wink, wink: Let’s date. Let’s make-out. Let’s have sex or at least experiment around. Okay, bye. You’re boring. The end of relationship. Boohoo. Next!” svdbygrcty: I think you just said it all. But anyways, I’m currently single too, but unlike endodo, I’ve been in a relationship before. Honestly, I also agree that the standard of relationships has deteriorated way too much in our generation. It’s really sickening. Of course, I’m very guilty of being tempted to be involved in such meaningless flings, but after much thought, I really don’t see much point in it..
