A lesson about larping (and social media)

[irrumator praetor]

*TLDR people don't actually say the truth, they say what they think they should say (to fit in or look better, appear successful and normative/conforming) (usually whats normative according to their current POV), making social media statements a performance rather than a reflection of truly whats in their mind or actual objective reality. False imagery such as this serves to amplify the mirage effect of social media (it always had that).

Do you really think all these faceless foid profiles with radical femcel opinions actually did these things OR they're just larping so their friends see their comments


Clearly its the latter. Of course a portion of them actually relate, however a big portion of them are also larping (look at the likes and engagement). Takeaway: most people larp to fit in or look better (water) and also: radical femcel opinions are cool now apparently, as well as any story about negative or positive sexual or relationship experiences, bad relationship advice etc. These people know that but they intentionally comment these things merely to fit in and look good for the people that know them.

This, however, creates a positive feedback loop where the algorithm rage baits the receiving end (opposite gender, male) for engagement and therefore causes an increase in radicalizing and negative views

To top it off for this particular example, what originally caused this cascade of radicalizing views is the particular zero-sum nature of the hypergamous dating game period for both genders. One gender fundamentally has to lose out in order for the other to be considered a winner in the usual sexual exchange. The internet, and especially the algorithm, of social media specifically, simply took this natural fact and amplified it for engagement/advertiser money

it also seems to be a game of play-pretend between the NTs, where if it isn't a joke, then it's a probability/statement for the purpose of increasing status/appearing better. If they're not doing it for laughs, they're doing it for good looks. And everybody does this to a greater or lesser extent all the time. Social media is where you go to take it to another level, if larping IRL with "trust me bro" wasn't enough
