television and the entertainment industry has been a colossal disaster for humanity starting with baby boomers that grew up watching the idiot box. there's a reason older generations ragged on sitting in front of the tv for decades saying it rots your brain. screeching at people online that internet porn has warped their perception of reality is just the latest version of this on going problem. that's why the "go outside and touch grass" meme is so prevalent people are unironically psychotic about how real life plays out these days. it's way more stupid and boring and performative/posturing than anyone actually expects which massively contributes to how depressed and disappointed everybody is. fiction always has been and always will be better/ more exciting than real life.
