@ccolocho AND I DID A THING

We talked all about Bodega and why it's Bad™, why Square is Good™, and why Silicon Valley is always disrupting the wrong things

a "no-cial" network,

where you write your thoughts and feelings.

you can follow other people who write about their thoughts and feelings.

but you can't comment or interact.

you can't see who or how many people are following you or have read your thoughts and feelings.

you just write into the void, and have no clue if anyone is listening.

imo, this whole episode is a fuckin quagmire of questions about what the intent was?

some people could read it as sweet in a way, and a study of evolving sexuality and gender expression in the digital age

but i'm mostly confused why it didn't take any of the questions it brought up any further

- Did Karl & Danny's kiss really mean nothing or were they both lying to themselves because they couldn't admit to themselves that they're gay?
- Assuming no, they don't have any IRL feelings and just enjoy e-fuckin',... is the writer of this episode suggesting that immersive VR allows us perform completely inauthentic identities in a way that is authentically fulfilling, and that's... o..kay??????

can't figure out what I think about this episode? thought jumble

- Is Karl trans/nb/genderfluid?
- If so, is the writer of this episode suggesting that immersive VR is an acceptable substitution to being your authentic self every minute of every day?
- Are Karl and Danny actually gay?
- If so, is the writer of this episode suggesting that immersive VR is an acceptable substitution to being your authentic self every minute of every day?
...

a "don't ask, don't tell" attitude is... not tolerant

somebody at work linked an article about "why there aren't more openly gay metal musicians" and god fuckinaosteuhasoetuahoseu

the article itself was basically "well, i don't think it's a big deal, people are accepting... if you don't talk about it" bullshit

and the comments are disgusting either hyper religious shit or homophobic AND misogynistic things like "well homos like dumb girly stuff so why would they be in metal"

i think i wanna write again soon
