Love this, the curtain has definitely slipped and people are getting much wiser in some respects. I think in COVID it kind of started with that woeful "Imagine" video thing some celebs started where everyone was like wtf.
I’m pleased people are thinking more critically about the things that they read and see, and that women are starting to be more publicly supported. Hopefully it also starts translating into political matters from celebrity culture too. Because goodness knows we need to start employing critical thinking when interpreting what they say and challenging the current government to be better.
It’s really been such a year...I also think we are growing older. Covid put a lot of things in perspective for a lot of people. I think we are getting smarter, like you say more voices are being heard more than ever on multiple platforms. Before we were solely one more than others and it was curated. I think we also realise we can curate and follow who we want instead of who is cool. I spent 5/6 years ago getting rid so many people who didn’t add to my life as in influencers. I also think my job I’ve been for almost 4 years expanded my mind, made me even more open to understanding more about the world and my empathy for others. With this, I see influencers ‘tidying’ their room with stuff everywhere. I think to myself don’t you realise how much you’re contributing negatively to the world? Cool, you bought or were gifted a new jacket but what about the 10 other same ones. I just do not care about all that consumption anymore. I feel I went down a rabbit hole - haha. But, yeah, in conclusion we are getting smarter, opening our minds with more ways to consume and the way knowledge is shared has a huge impact on this. I’m interested to see who else gets cancelled/shoved out this year...

Yes to this. I am so pleased about the Jonas narrative turning. Shame on him.
