Laurel help me put into words how pretentious this is
“aims at exposing the truth” is a bit of a stretch. This is someone pretentiously mocking and attempting to humiliate Instagram users for no viable reason. I mean they’re not a investigative journalist making an exposé about lizard people running our society or the like. Chompoo and Socality Barbie aren’t exposing some great hidden truths, they’re just attempting to seem deep by degrading others without any actual social commentary. This wannabe Banksy trend is so annoying. I mean, Banksy is pretentious, but at least he’s pretentiously pointing out existing issues, instead of what these people are doing.
there we go
“HAHA, remember that picture you took on your phone and put on the internet of an okay looking square foot of your house!?! I bet there was a -MESS- a few feet away! FRAUD!!!! FRAUDSTER!!! LYING FILTHY DEVIL-TRASH RUINING OUR CULTURE!!!!”
so he’s exposing people on Instagram for doing what people photographing scenes have been doing since the very first camera, not to mention ALL VISUAL ART THROUGHOUT HISTORY? Oh no, these people have a sense of frame and composition, they’re liars who must be exposed! What a douche.
It doesn’t even work. These all still look like people with interesting lives.
