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."

Flawless victory.

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.

Wow, so much hostility, so much frustration. Meanwhile, you’re averaging what, about 70 posts a day now? Losing your edge? We'll, congrats, you’ve now officially taken over the top spot on the leaderboard for “most obsessive with nothing better to do.” But sure, you’re god’s gift to AN, aren't you, so it's ok? Ever thought of just not reading threads started by posters you don’t like? Nah, that’d be too easy, wouldn’t it?

But he's got empathy.

Yep, now too many in the world without a backbone, snowflakes, keyboard warriors, the ones with mental health issues all untouchable now, have so many in society. 

 

Back in the day if you was an antagonizer, you'd get a punch in the mouth, it would soon shut you up, you learn to behave. 

 

This is why I like the Thai way, these idiots misbehaving on soi 6 and walking street. All the Thai's come out and beat up these stupid foreigners, they won't misbehave again. Lessons learnt. 

 

You see members here being disrespectful at times from their warrior keyboards, I bet they wouldn't be so brave face to face.

You sound strange....but thats your norm. I have more time on my hands at the moment hence more posts. 

 

Why does it bother you so much you feel the need to lash out. I made a 2 line comment and it troubled you this much. 

 

You're another one of those who concern yourself with the stupid emoji thing. I love it so much ive never used them.

I actually have had you on ignore for some time now, even before you started your recent posting rampage, so I don’t usually see your posts when I’m logged in. I’d rather not waste time scrolling through your endless smug-passive-aggressive trolling. But now and then I’m browsing while logged out, and that’s when I come across the pesky gems that you keep churning out.
 

The comment I just made wasn’t just about that one post. It applies to a whole pattern I’ve noticed with you. You complain constantly about other people’s content, yet I can’t find much value in the 70 plus posts you’re firing off every day. It’s like you’ve turned into some lost AN puppy chasing its own tail.
 

Maybe stick to the topic for once and take your own advice. Stop flooding the place with needless commentary or whatever other nonsense you’re running with today.

Is that all ? Its funny to see how much it bothers you. Put me back on ignore you're annoying.

You’ve been on ignore for months and that’s never going to change. No need to ask. This will be my last response, so go ahead and get the last word now if that helps you feel less fragile. The whole point of this back and forth was to hold a mirror up to your hypocrisy because clearly no one else has. But it’s obvious now you can’t handle even a bit of self introspection. Your posts are tedious to put it lightly, which is exactly why I put you on ignore ages ago. But your ego won’t let you see it. Good luck with that.
