I know its fun to be like omg twitter is dying lets goooo
but its really sad that we’re losing yet another form of human communication and years of information because of another ceo baby manchild. I’m going to lose contact with a bunch of friends i’ve made because of this and it sucks
Between the Supreme Court fuckery and whatever’s going on at Twitter, the last 48 hours have been a very clear sign that anyone who owns more than a billion dollars needs to be catapulted to Neptune
Real life events are treated like fictional media automatically entering some meme cannon and fictional media is demanded of so much moralism and the events in fictional media are treated with so much seriousness as if whatever is being depicted..is being condoned. People talk about media literacy all of the time now but it’s actually crazy how nothing that happens in real life is sacred or free of exploitation but anything fictional has to be explicitly clear in a specific moral compass.
hi im complaining about tiktok again and i know this has been said a million times but i despise how the self-censorship that got really popular on there is quickly becoming the norm. why is my podcast that i listen to that is by and for adults and swears regularly censoring the word “sex” in its episode descriptions on spotify, a platform where they dont even censor officially uploaded song titles for songs like “fuck the pain away.” why are there book blurbs using “unalive” completely in earnest. why are people on twitter writing s3x. youtubers can at least handwave having to bleep terms like “heroin” bc that’s specifically a youtube problem but why in an era where everyone is handwringing about how everything is Literally 1984 do people not seem to care about grown adults gleefully regressing into homestuck typing quirks and ugly babytalk
