Re: Non-fandom secrets.

I was actually thinking of making one of these threads today, so thank you anon!

Personally, I'd prefer having a secrets community devoted to (social) media over fandom. There are a lot of secrets I'd love to make pertaining to things ranging from Instagram niches to The Atlantic (magazine) being a neurotic disaster.

Tell me your thoughts on The Atlantic, I'm curious. And Instagram!

AYRT

The Atlantic has been on my shit list for a while thanks to the following headline in the aftermath of George Floyd's death: MINNEAPOLIS HAD THIS COMING. Yeah, that carries victim blaming overtones and is not helpful in cultivating an attitude for reform. Aside from that, The Atlantic has leaned into publishing more pieces with an emotional angle ripe for loaded language (such as "CRYING MYSELF TO SLEEP ON THE BIGGEST CRUISE SHIP EVER" and "How to Be Less Busy and More Happy", two titles I pulled from the list of popular reads). They're also one of the most prominent news outlets I've seen use the technique of having a different (often more provocative) headline for a piece on social media posts compared to what's actually displayed on the site. It's extremely manipulative in a way that tends to go for the weaknesses if neurotic people, especially women.

As for Instagram, that's an even bigger landfill fire thanks to the personal finance and psychology niches. Folks like tessafinance and dr_inna have shown their true colors when confronted with the fact that the phrasing used in some of their posts can casts stereotypes on groups outside their intended targets. Those responses get defensive as all get out, and that is not cool in my eyes.
