An enormous number of people tweeted the “Stay weird, stay different” quote from yesterday’s Oscars. Each one of this uniform crowd that did the exact same thing at the exact same time while watching the exact same show experienced the exact same fuzzy feeling of being appreciated for their weirdness and difference.
Do people even realize how incredibly boring this is?

What do you expect from live-tweet reactions to extreme joy or sadness?

I don’t think any viewers experienced extreme joy or sadness on the subject of the Oscars. If they did, that would indeed be weird and different. 🙂

I wasn’t thinking of the viewers. I was thinking of the viewers reacting to the Oscar winner’s joy and strong emotions.

The really weird and different thing in this country is not to follow the Oscars and find the whole thing hugely bizarre. 🙂

LOL. Oh gosh… it’s so funny how all of us think we’re all so weird and different, when really so much of what we do on a daily basis is a result of conforming to the hegemony. The really weird and really different people don’t seem to be completely aware of their eccentricities. And if they are, they certainly don’t promote being “just like them” — that is, weird and different. sigh….

Yes, nothing is more fashionable today than being weird and different. 🙂 🙂
