Maybe this interpretation is entirely wrong but I feel like there’s a growing segment of society which had been convinced that “celebrity” or proximity to celebrity is worth any other sacrifice. And society has embraced the idea that even if the reason you’re “known about” is due to doing things generally looked down upon - it’s okay because the net effect is you’re now famous and that fame has earned you loyal supporters who will embrace whatever shit you put forth from this point forward.
Tired: Shame.
Wired: Fame
