Follow/Watch/Like

I was having this conversation with a friend a few days ago. So we were talking bout some person's blog when he/she/it told me that he/she/it wasn't reading the shit. I asked why and this was the answer:

He/She/It: Oh, I saw her follower list. Meh, she had like 2 or 3 followers only so I guess it ain't worth reading.

Me: Huh? What the fuck? You seriously did that ah?

He/She/It: Ya la, I follow public opinion what.

Me: You're a fuckffin you know that.

Next scenario.

An amazing photograph on DeviantArt had zero comments and 3 faves.

A lacklustre photograph had 2,374 faves and 407 comments.

The first artist has no watchers.

The second has 548 watchers.



It's not sickening. I've accepted that fact a long time ago. Today, he who is popular shalt reign supreme. Still, every time it happens, I can't shrug off a of pure, unadulterated, overpowering feeling of disgust. It's as if everything has turned into a fucking race or something. I bet I can get more followers than you, I have more watchers than you, more people like my status and such. What the fuck is wrong with you fucktards?

It is true that usually, public opinion matters; sometimes it differs from one's point of view but one has a choice to agree or to disagree. Not only in the matters stated above but in most scenarios. All I'm fucking asking is that when the fuck has everybody cease to acknowledge the fact that the option exist? It's like most people are going 'Hell if I don't blindly follow the fucken public, I be digging me own 6 by 3 there. Or monsters be jumpin' out from me closet.'

Since when has the public held the Veto power? Since when has it been written that whatever they say make all the fucken sense in the whole fucken world? Since when ahs their voice reigned supreme? I'm so fucking temted to go VIVA LIBERTE on your fucking asses.

I know. Some of you out there are going ah, what the fuck, why should I listen to this kutte da puther? Believe me I'm not and best of all, it's the whole fucking point of this post. You have a fucking choice on whether to read this shit or not.

Everybody nowadays is going with what's called the 'in thing'. Fashion, books, underwear, fucking everything. Just cause one or two fucks went 'Hey, you know what, lets take this product and tell the everyone that is the best dang thing that has happened to us! Yay! Lets!' I just do not fucking comprehend why. Why wear a 2000 dollar dress just coz people say it's cool to do so but in truth, and even you know it, it's like fucking wrapping old curtains around yourself. Why spend 100 dollars on a book that everybody say is good when in truth it's content is worse than a fucking biochemistry textbook. Why wear perfume that smells like rotten elephant flesh. Why? When you can buy a 20 dollar dress and look good, spend 5 dollars on a really enjoyable book and spray some generic perfume that smells really good.

Some say it's the media's propaganda. I say it's your own nature. That fucking pet peeve of yours that can't stand being excluded from the 'cool' guys.

I say, fuck it all. I'm going to keep on writing even if the world hates my writing. I'm going to wear shit that I like even when the fucking majority laughs at me. If writing things that I like, making art the way I see fit and acting like myself makes me a fucking disgrace from the public's point of view, then so be it. Just don't be surprised when one day, you look at me and you go 'Hell, what if I had done the same?'

Self respect. That's what the wold is fucking lacking among other things.

A/N: To those who think that I'm just a sad person trying to defend myself due to a lack of followers/watchers, please continue to think so.
