for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal
before it was like, “what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?”
and now it’s like, “ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it’s pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we’ve normalized this experience”

I forget what the original meme is called but whatever pls enjoy this
When someone replied to my happy, joyful pride art with an anti-trans propaganda video, I felt sick to my stomach. We’ve come so far, and we should celebrate that! But we also need to recognise the backlash and stand up and keep fighting. Because we have been here before.
