also idk if this is ever talked about but i think the trend of young people being obsessed w/ celebrities (both hollywood celebs and social media celebs i.e. “influencers”) or different types of media like certain tv shows or movies to the point where it’s no longer a hobby or a pastime is literally the equivalent of taking our brains putting them in a blender and blasting them on the smoothie setting. these things are all meant to be distractions and the people making this shit want it like that because the more obsessed you are the more money you’re giving them whether you’re personally taking out your credit card or not. and the more time they take up in your life the more they rob you like they rob you of your peace of mind they rob you of your ability to do things in your own life that make you happy completely independent of whether your fav celeb released a new video to consume or a new product hit the shelves to buy they all just want you to consume consume consume. and its impossible to completely avoid it but it is possible to know what’s going on and not give in
guys you weren’t ugly 10 years ago you were just literal children
everyone in the notes asserting that children can be ugly, i know u think you’re being cute but you’re really not. like what the fuck is wrong with you? it’s nothing short of heinous to assign (often sexualized, always bigoted) standards of beauty to fucking kids, especially young girls, who should be focused on literally growing up. i’m not laughing
