i guess that bothers me in part because i think sincerity is something that online communication easily loses, and that people are pushed to lose.
sincerity is, for lack of a better term, not very marketable. simply because sincerity is so individualized.
but i also see meme culture trapping people into vortexes of irony and pithy quips. and those things are nice, but they don't often make a fulfilling life on those things alone.
@bamfic which honestly i'm not totally against - i mean my coping strategies are ripped directly from dr. hawkeye pierce off M*A*S*H half the damn time - but i get worried when seeing that become the entire mode of communication
i feel like that's such an easy way to end up floating in space, unmoored and untethered, and so detatched even to yourself, and that's a scary place to be. trying to work on mental health with absolutely no footing or grounding is so hard.
so i worry lol
