So we are kind of immigrants to the digital world but new generation is native to this SM and digital world. For them it is the reality. Definitions of real and virutal have changed and lines got blurred. It will merge in near future. I highly recommend Black Mirror TV show if you have not watched it yet. It explores digital revolution in future and how humans will change. It is a bit dark.
On surface I used to also think that on SM it is fake, but is it? When I think of it deeply, I come to think of what is the definition of reality? For example, Even in real life we are different with different people like with family, with friends, with boss, with colleagues we behave differently. Atleast I am like that. It is not that I fake it but inhenretly I beheve differently with differrent people. But who is real me? I think every aspect is just one layer of your reality. My IF personality as anonymous is not fake, it is still a part of me. I do not discuss ITV shows and this ParaKshita shipping with my real lifeš This exists only on SM but I wont call it fake. In a same way SM is just one layer of reality for today's generation.
Things have changed. I strongly think we will go all digital and virtual in a decade or so. Covid has expedited the process.
I agree with you and your analysis is spot on..this is true for some section of SM ..I am okay with it if someone reacts strongly on political topics as it affects everyoneās lives or something they are attached to but some people are plain abusive n go on personal attacks with in seconds n they make it their aim of life to target that person
And there are another section of people.. they just blame n react without even thinking rationally .. may be just because they like the idea of it..how foolish is it to target Karan Johar because kangana said he is flag bearer of nepotism.. thatās not relevant or personal to 99.99% of the population.. there may be few thousands of people who are trying for movie opportunities.. nepotism is everywhere in the world why target him
