We talk about the horrible fake League of Legends twitter account on here about 30 minutes in. There& #39;s a lot to say. https://twitter.com/timebatshow/status/1316886567701667840">https://twitter.com/timebatsh...
Some interesting takeaways:
- Ignoring real people& #39;s struggles and being nice to fictional entities is easier
- Are people that are interacting with her roleplaying? If so, are the roleplaying when they post about real world issues as well?
- When does their universe end and mine begin?
- Twitter has no magic circle for separating reality from fiction
- The only logical conclusion is everything on twitter must be assumed to be fictional, and yet we use it for news, opinions, and political movements https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙃" title="Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht">
"It& #39;s like going into a library and instead of having a fiction and non-fiction section all the books are just everywhere."
I honestly don& #39;t understand why this aspect of it has not been discussed. I think my logic is very sound and I& #39;d be interested in further discussion. Or no one cares.
I understand there& #39;s a lot of other terrible things going on in the world, but we shouldn& #39;t become complacent and let corporations do this while our guard is down. They are writing the future of our society right now, and it is not a future you will like.
The conclusion of this episode is me trying to decide if I should post something mean to this "thing& #39;s" twitter account, but I feel bad about it. Why? Because the brands have literally already won. It& #39;s disgusting. Even I have fallen for it.
Reality has already blurred into fiction. This account is verified, after all.
Seriously, the ramifications of this are wild. I don& #39;t know how to communicate the implications of this more than I can right now.
I should& #39;ve prefaced it with this, in case you are interested in delving into the rabbit hole of this insane twitter account:

Yes,">https://twitter.com/seradotwa... it& #39;s fictional.
Yes, it& #39;s verified.
No, there is no disclaimer anywhere.
