here’s a new ideological movement for you: internet iconoclasm

• stop putting random internet people on pedestals because they’re funny or quirky or for any reason at all actually
  
• self examine and self criticize: are you putting too much stock in parasocial internet relationships? are you being mindful of the humanity of others?
  
• never lay down your pride to defend someone you’ve never even talked to
• remember that the person and the persona can be very different
  
• if an online celebrity or influencer deserves to be torn down, then let them be torn down.
