Are We the Baddies?? A Quick Look at a Discourse (2021x34)


:

When I started this video I thought it was just going to be about a tweet...the fact that it became about how a tweet about villains outlines that the thing we're angry about is kinda that heroes don't turn into villains, and that the villainy was being advocated for on a platform where people don't seem to be getting any better at understanding inspires villainy was a pretty big surprise... Also, what is most interesting to me about these tweets is not that they were tweeted, again, I think they are fine takes...I think what's interesting is how much traction they got...how many likes and retweets and how much conversation they created, and how that conversation was never less extreme than the original tweet, always more extreme. Anyway, have a good day.
