I aint gonna articulate this right but I’ve noticed there’s this weird sub culture on tumblr where it’s frowned upon to say anything positive about your life. Like occasionally I see someone post something like “I love my job so much” and a few responses are like “wish I could find a job :/” or “must be nice to not have depression” and it’s really strange. A lot of people are pulling themselves out of dark places or finally figuring out how to be happy (no easy feat) and they don’t need you projecting your own demons on their moments of happiness they wanted to share.
Or the ever lovely “we can’t all be neurotypical, Karen.” Which seems to mostly show up on posts made by people happy about their recovery.
CBS executive in 1968: Eh, reshoots are expensive. Let’s just use the footage we got, even if Conrad’s pants are torn. It won’t be all that visible in the TV broadcast, and even if viewers think they saw a flash of something, it’s not like they can go back and check it. The episode may never even air again. There’s no way this could come back to haunt us.
WWW fans, after the invention of home video and freeze-framing: OMG REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME ROBERT CONRAD’S PANTS EXPLODED? LET’S BUILD A SHRINE AND DISCUSS THIS EVENT ON MESSAGE BOARDS AND FORUMS FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS
Me, with access to YouTube and Tumblr: I will GIF this iconic moment for posterity. You’re welcome, future generations.
