Have we gone too far with media censorship? Or not far enough?
I don’t actually have a fully formed opinion to answer my title question (yes misleading I know) I just wanted something clickbaity so you might be enticed to read. Audience Manipulation Powers I choose you!
So I absolutely HAVE to share this image here because IT GOT FLAGGED by fact-checkers who reported that it was ‘altered media that could mislead people’. So guess what my loves, I am part of the problem of perpetuating fake news. -_________- heeheheheheeh.
LOOK AT THIS PHOTO! I mean god I honestly just adore the chaos of the current world of media, censorship, and social nonsense today, it’s just laughable. I actually had to log back onto my Instagram to get this photo because it’s literally hidden from viewers. Be careful now because this picture was photo-shopped LE GASP and it may influence you to….I dunno think nice and positive things? Spoiler alert Bob Ross was never on Mr. Rogers t-shirt. I FEEL BETRAYED o.o
Ok wait here is another meme I found in my phone. Is this page just going to become a collection of memes? Probably. Honestly I love a good meme, I think it’s one of the good things to come out of the sexual unification of culture and internet starting back in the 80’s.
WAIT WHAT? Did she say sexual?
Yes my friends internet culture made sexy babies and it’s us. Embrace it, be it, know it in your bones.
I mean who cares if it’s true or not….it’s a fucking meme. We have become the opposite of critical thinkers and it’s honestly a little depressing. We have gone so far into information saturation that we have circled back around and devolved into endorphin chasing, app hopping, swipe monsters with clickbait induced hyper-mania and reactivity. Also seriously do the powers that be have no respect for our autonomy or ability to interpret or communicate or simply look at a picture and draw our own conclusions? They are making it worse with their curbing of (OH GOD DARE I TYPE IT) freedom of speech? Ayyyyeeee please don’t come for me little troll cancelerinos I am just wondering is all.
Ok back to silly. I am giving you one more meme because this made me giggle so hard. Child labour laws with film and television were never something I considered or noticed till I hit maybe 25 years old and I had to start thinking about appropriate ages for a crush. Since then whenever I watch things with ‘The Youths’ in it I am quick to dialogue and conversate with my sisters. These chats go along the lines of “um that 15 year old from this show has a full beard and like his back is so tight and I am attracted to him cause I want to drown in his eyes but I’m confused because WHAT EVEN AGE IS HE?” or “Is it illegal for me to have a crush on him when he is 22 in real life and is playing a 16 year old?”.
I am turning 31 in three days. How far back age wise am I allowed to find a human attractive? This is an ongoing debate my sisters and I have been having. Yes, we are intellectual and mature grownups, they are both mothers, but you know readers we humans all have these same thoughts and I just would love to have some clarity on this.
That’s all for this word vomity post today. I don’t really know why I felt motivated to just write all this random stuff. I want to inject some life into my site and just make myself laugh mostly. I hope it makes someone else laugh.
