The Death of Shame: Social Media Has Turned Humanity into Bouncing Donkeys Just for Likes

[Lewie London]

Mates, I’ve had enough of this social media circus-sh*te, yeah. I’m done. Every day I open me phone, thinkin’, “Let’s have a butcher’s at the news,” maybe see if Arsenal signed someone who can actually kick a ball straight, but nah, what do I get? Becky from Croydon filming herself throwing her toys out the pram whilst cryin’ in the car ‘cause someone didn’t like the latest upshot photo of her mindge shooting a thick camel-toe out her yoga pants at the gym. Then Dave from Slough doin’ shirtless TikToks like he’s God’s gift when he looks like a melted puddle of vanilla ice cream. Everyone’s desperate for attention like seagulls fightin’ over a single chip.

 

It’s embarrassing, mate. World’s gone from Shakespeare to “like and subscribe.” You can’t even enjoy a fry-up without someone takin’ a slow-mo video of the egg yolk breakin’ mid-air like it’s the Sistine Chapel and dropping it on The Gram. No one’s got shame anymore. I’m scrollin’, scrollin’, suddenly I’m lookin’ at Geoff, 52, doin’ a TikTok dance with his belly out to YMCA, thrusting his todger at the lens, whilst shoutin’ “living my best life,” like bruv, your best life should involve employing a jockstrap and getting a waxing of all your ear hair. 

 

And don’t get me started on influencers. Influencers? Influencin’ what? How to look like a plank in public? How to waste your twenties posin’ next to a rented motor you ain’t even insured on? It’s tragic. Everyone’s out here beggin’ strangers online for validation like kids at a school disco askin’ the DJ for “Wonderwall.”

 

Used to be, you could sit in the boozer, chat sh*t with your mates, and no one filmed it. Now? You sneeze funny, next thing you’re a shame-meme. Privacy’s gone. Modesty’s gone. Dignity? Forget about it. Social media’s turned the whole world into one big open mic night, except no one’s funny and everyone’s desperate.

 

I’m tellin’ ya, this is why the world feels stupid now. ‘Cause it is. Every mug with a WiFi connection thinks they’re a celebrity. And you can’t say nothin’ or you’re the villain. Nah. I ain’t playin’. I’m signin’ off. Sod your hashtags. Sod your reels. I’ll be down the pub with a pint, talkin’ nonsense the old-fashioned way, in person, without filters, and without some bloke in skinny jeans tellin’ me to “smash that like button.”

 

That’s the worst bit, innit, people don’t even get embarrassed anymore. Used to be, if you acted like a bell-end in public, you’d get a clip ‘round the ear or your mates would rinse you for life. Now? Nah. Now they plan it. They practice lookin’ like wallies, film it on purpose, and call it “content creation.” Blokes dancin’ in the middle of Tesco, birds screamin’ in the street just to get a clip goin’ viral, all for what? A few strangers tappin’ a little heart icon. No shame left in the world. The whole planet’s turned into one big circus of desperate plonkers, and everyone’s convinced they’re the main event. It’s the downfall of dignity, bruv. We used to have kings, now we’ve got influencers doin’ the worm in the middle of Oxford Street for likes. The internet used to be fun. Now it’s just an oversized buffet of tossers and muppets. And none of ‘em is funny.

Social media is what you make of it because there will always be something annoying around, be it on social media or the regular world.

If you're done then stop posting.  I expect this will be the last thread you start.

Social media has been sullied by no-talent narcissists seeking attention. My personal feeling is that it started with that insipid show "Jackass."

Would it be possible to turn off the 70's Cockney / Delboy and Rodney filter you are using on your posts? I think you have overdone it now.

Indeed social media is hastening the demise of shame.

 

Which is great for women. Terrible for men.

 

The things I see women doing on Insta are unspeakable.
