It’s so weird that people still try to place so much judgement on social media when the internet is used for EVERYTHING else without being questioned this way.
Is it escaping real banking if I do online banking?
Is it escaping real jobs if I can only apply online?
Did that appointment with a therapist or doctor even happen if it was online? Would these judgy-ass people say that’s fake too?
What’s the difference with the phone? Is a phone call more real than reading messages online? Is the criteria that someone is living within a certain mile/km radius?
Are long-distance calls and texts also fake because you can’t see them in person?
Are news articles online less real even though they are published by the same newspaper that prints hard copies?
According to this logic my emails with my aunt are less real because I almost never see her in person since she lives on a different continent.
I know more about my online friends’ lives than many of my family. Most of my in-person chats are with my cat. I don’t need to escape that.
I involve my online friends with my in-person life more than I do my family because being a neurodivergent gay doesn’t jive well with the people who happen to be in my physical proximity.
