People react this way because we've understandably lost any confidence that complaints about ableism online target actual instances of discrimination, as opposed to just being a smokescreen for validating antisocial behavior.
Gen z calling liking phone free concerts a boomer take is funny because there's nothing more boomeresque than saying 'I'm paying so I'm entitled to do whatever I want' like a fucking Karen.
seeing so many gen z’ers go “IM ALLOWED TO DO WHATEVER I WANT AT A CONCERT I SPENT MONEY AT ACTUALLY” fully encapsulates why I stopped going to the movie theater. yall are selfish cunts who don’t care about anyone but yourselves and it shows!!!!!
dare i say the phoebe discourse is a result of people feeling entitled to film anything and anyone they want in public. you are not entitled to footage of a stranger, even if you payed to be in the room.
When the Habs drafted Mailloux I dropped them like a hot potato after being a fan for nearly 20 years and only came back after they corrected the mistake. Do better you fucking piece of shit.
twitter wants me to abandon my 10 years of fandom on a whim because one man on the team is evil. hockey fans forgot how to cheer for the crest instead of your few blorbos who you follow around every time they're traded. some of us have loyalty
@saltduckegg I think it's kind of meh that it's like a whole company that is charging the artist for this service I really wish people would just fucking behave but like I get it.
2 years ago I was saying "a lot of idiots think they are artists bosses and employers because they spend money as fans" and lo and behold! I was right.
God forbit its an artists job and the fans PAY THEM TO PLAY. Concerts are not about what an artist wants or being as good as possible for the artist. Its about the fans experience, thats the whole reason the show is being put on 💀
So this is wrong. Parasocial is not a new term. It was coined by researches in 1956 and all the behaviors you’re calling parasocial are actually obsessive.
Parasocial behaviors are actually very normal in society. Scientists started studying them after the rise of television.
i think it's suboptimal that so many people are convinced every time they leave their house they could be a victim of a mass shooting or terror attack. i understand why the world they've been given might inculcate this idea. But also it seems like an excuse for being on the phone
opening my eyes to see the phoebe phone discourse still going on. she just played a no phones show in the most populated city in america and no one died
