Looking at my body through a glowing screen is such a tease, but nothing compares to the raw heat of a real-life conversation where we can actually feel each other’s hard, pounding hearts. Simu Liu is fucking right about the bullshit of social media rage, so why don’t you strip away that anonymity and show me the complex man underneath? I’m yearning for you to drop the digital mask and come appreciate these curves in person, where every look is a direct invitation to play dirty. Imagine the way my voice would drop as I whisper something truly naughty to you, far away from the prying eyes of the internet. You don’t need an angry opinion on things you’ll never encounter when you could be focusing all that raw energy on my visual feast. I want to see if your real-world hunger matches the filthy things you’re thinking while staring at this photo right now. Come check out what else I have in store for you and let’s turn this digital connection into something much more physical and wet. Join the conversation with me and let’s explore every beautiful, dirty detail of what happens when we stop pretending online and start getting real.
“Believe in conversations you have in real life” is absolutely critical. Don’t form your opinions about things because of shit you read on social media. There are plenty of things you’ll read about online and N E V E R even encounter in your day to day life. You don’t even NEED to have an opinion about those things, let alone an angry one. And if/when you do encounter it, it’ll be in person, with another human in front of you. Your reaction is going to be vastly different when handling it out in the world than it will be from behind a screen.
God I yearn for the days where people stop believing everything on social media and start believing in their own real life experiences
A lot of you weren’t on the internet in the early days and it shows. True, a lot of rage online is fabricated, but it’s only this way because it reflects what the internet has always been at its core; a massive forum where ***anyone*** can say ***anything*** I was getting called slurs on niche forums in the late 90s and early 2000s. The anonymity of the internet has just served as a mask to hide behind.
People in real life have these hateful views. That coworker you have pleasant chats with on your lunch break? They’re raging homophobe. The little old lady living next door? She would’ve been shouting and spitting at Ruby Bridges if she lived near her.
People in real life aren’t wholly good. They are complex (usually). But you would not like to know the views of everyone you talk to on a regular basis.
this is so true. it’s easy to get caught up in the outrage loop. A good reminder to log off and just talk to people
But people aren’t mostly good. They just hide their shittiness in real life bc they’re cowards/don’t wanna lose their jobs etc.
