shadowkatTo good a quote not to share:
From Donald Glover's Interview of Himself (he basically got sick of bad interview questions, and decided to interview himself for a change of pace):
Well, that brings me to my next question: What role does criticism play in your life?
"There’s good takes, there’s bad takes, but most of them are just untrustworthy takes. I liked it more when Camp just came out and it felt like everyone hated me. Because there’d be some actual good insight and it was easier to see who was dealing with their own identity problems, who really hated me, and who just didn’t like me because I didn’t dislike myself. But you can’t believe the good or bad stuff now because it’s all just the economy around you. There’s money and clout in loving and hating you. You have to sift through and try and see if someone is debating in good faith. The internet doesn’t provide a large-enough amount of that. You know what? I’ll tie in my Joe Rogan and Chappelle answer now, too. A lot of people believe both of them are doing what they do in good faith. It’s not cynical. It’s not CNN or Fox. It doesn’t feel to most people like they’re trying to sell something. People are looking for other people to interact with in good faith. Because a lot of this rage is artificial. People have emotional diabetes and don’t even know it."
Yep. Very true of fandom, and Twitter. Certainly true of Facebook.
Less true of DreamWidth, but this is more of a blogging site, so there's that.
