The Death of Nuance & the Age of Ragebait

Why does everything feel like ragebait now?





From the Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle Ad Campaign, crazy
tiktok foods, debate shows, toxic fandoms, and ragebait
marketing.





EVERYTHING feels like extremism, and we have completely lost the
idea of nuance. To like some things, dislike some things, and
still be a fan.





Now it feels like everything is a team sport-- where you have to
endlessly defend your team. Instead of actually trying to have a
conversation and learn from one another
