It's kinda crazy that you can just joke about being edgy and everyone will understand that you are just shitposting but the moment you say a racial slur everyone assumes that you are unironically racist
I mean fair enough, there are some edgelords who are unironic sociopathic monsters, i've read Lacan ok. But it's like, do you guys want to live in a post ironic discursive society where nothing is serious or a sincere early modern one where everyone means what they say 100% and there is no comedy? What i see from terminally online people is that they switch from one to the other at will basically, one moment they're like "oh come on man don't ruin the vibes we are all just joking here" and the very next moment they are like you are literally worse than Pol Pot for joking like that do you have no empathy you moid monster
What are you even talking about? Normies don't care as long as it doesn't affect them
>>740656Well you look at the material reality and not the words or something
everyone wants to roleplay but no one got the guts to erp bc theyre too irony poisoned. SAD! cringe culture still has its claws on the youth, the elderly, and the INTERNATIONAL PROLETARIAT. ANTI-LARPING AND ITS CONSEQUENCES HAVE BEEN A DISASTER FOR PLAY ACROSS THE GLOBE. The People tm want an outlet to play with the imagined roles of real life such as the oppressed and the oppressor, similar to how bourgeois parenting encourages roles like jobs and being a mother but have no outlet to imagine said social roles besides listening to the disaffected parties. Theres a reason listening doesnt work and we have the saying "walk a mile in their shoes" because we must encourage literally taking in the viewpoint of said perspective by ACTING ON IT AKA LARPING AS SAID PERSPECTIVE. Porkie culture has degraded play to fit around the social reproduction most fitting to its ideology when play should be expanded!! When it should be expanded such that Play should be a liberatory project wherein the Playmates can literally act out supposed transgressive and illegitimate fantasies such to gain knowledge of said experiences. Play should be exaggerated and imagined not in the pursuit of truth but to help discover truth and imagine scenarios. What the fuck are you talking about you may be wondering. Play as PRAXIS should be about self-discovery of various philosophies, perspectives, lives, and ideologies to encourage imagining people to think about the perspective of said life they are LARPING as. It should not be that children and humans should only play the good guys. I in fact argue its negation in that they should larp as racists, bigots, fascists and the like to encourage thinking about how a person could exist in said societal entanglements and map out how a person would act. You see a castrated and gross approximation of this play in the internet edginess you see everywhere and this is in fact a sort of LARP, a type of play. However this dedication to authenticness is the exact limiter on play that lets people connect and think in a wider fashion, rather than be spooked by their True Self, if such a thing can exist(it doesnt). Play and larping should cover the inauthentic, the mysterious, the disgusting and depraved just for the sake of exploring said mysteries and even then for the sake of it if utilitarian "proper" functioning that I was initially envisioning, might accidentally strangle this concept of Play to again be subordinated to shaping a proper human being.
PLAY AS PRAXIS
>>740675some may think oh im arguing for blackface and minstrel shows to return but these very events are the exact type of Play and larping that i criticize, because they seek to reinforce and reify said racist relations instead of allowing them to expand and redefine themselves in the very process and spirit of play and improv. These are merely stereotypes stuck that cannot expand or react to the absurd dynamicness that children usually insert into their larping of said social roles(i.e absurd imaginations seen in improv where crazy things happen at the behest of the hosts imagination, like a game of house suddenly turned into a mafia gun fight drama, or a person turning from a human into a dinosaur while playing doctor)
>>740675>>740680In simpler language?
>>740681basically let kids be edgy but also let them be woke in a form of playing around like a kid plays house or pretends theyre soldiers when doing snowball fights. direct negation of the woke v antiwoke tension you observe where everyone is uptight
>>740980mainly inspired by the concept of bdsm where people willingly play with the idea of being hurt and or being the oppressor and oppressed on purpose and can exit that fantasy at will. grappling w the critique that hierarchy can manifest wherever whether its willed or not and a way to dismantle that idea of hierarchy being sacred is to imagine hierarchy as something to be played with, as a role to take up and that one can willingly take down like a bdsm person entering and then leaving the role. hierarchy as neither something that can be abolished but something that can be played with to destroy its power and sacredness. why not have timmy the 2 year old be president for a day? why not?
