Vent Incoming:

So I've tried being Anti-Oscar, not so much because fuck the people doing all the keg work behind the scenes to make the magic happen, but because the cult of celebrity. I'm tired of it, and in many ways it's inescapable. There's actors and creators whose work I enjoy, there's movies I'd likely never hear about with film festivals and awards. But there's such a fixation and focus (at least by the media and I guess plenty of fandom) that makes idols, neo-aristocrats out of celebrities -- what they buy where they eat and go and do and I just could not give a shit. Like, what would happen if no attention was paid to any of these folks? I'm sure a reasonable amount of people would appreciate it (actors and performers ARE just people, they'd probably like privacy when they're food shopping leisurely on a Sunday), so why not? Like go be nosy about your neighbors! Stop the apotheosis of actors!stop giving industries POWER (and it could be argued this here is the true crux of the matter).

Obviously, I sound like some wannabe edgy teenager, and this could obviously be a far more nuanced conversation, I just had to vent/get it off my chest!

Yeah, I get where you're coming from and don't disagree.

Celebrity is an industry. We'd have to ban paparazzi, etc. to get rid of the incentive to make money from what famous people do.

The thing I hate right now is social media celebrity, because though I don't really care too deeply about A-list actors' personal drama, I give even less shits about youtubers and reality tv stars and those people being pushed on tiktok, but it's inescapable.

You're not wrong about any of it. The only reason you sound edgy is because you're so angry you sound like you do actually secretly care. I just stopped paying attention to any of it, and life is so much sweeter as a result.

Agreed.
