this is honestly one of my favourite scenes of the entire black mirror franchise. it so easily captures the lengths we go to in order to get the "perfect shot" or "perfect moment" for social media, even if that means going out of our way to do something that isn't who we are
The genius of the Black Mirror franchise was not that it was just science fiction of the future, but science fiction of the NEAR future, stuff that is clearly in its infancy today, things like social credit systems and mechanical robot guard dogs, AI, state surveillance, and so on.
I imagine shes like those skinny models who post pictures of themselves eating burgers, but the truth is they dont eat that crap or they just throw up after eating. But they like to portray themselves as naturally thin.
Ugh the future looks very dangerous and talking to random strangers even though you don't know them is weird in our social life my mom greets the customers and maker who makes her coffee and if she sees anybody she knows and saw there pic she will talk this sounds very unexpected and sad but this episode was so offensive and emotional
This is not just social media. This is society in general. Doesn’t matter if your from East or West. Democrat or Republican. Somebody wants you to behave properly. Somebody wants to control you.
