Comment on How did that 22-year-old get on in the date his dad set him up with?
ameancow@lemmy.world 1 day agoThere are a lot of people and bots alike who use forums like this, Reddit mostly, but also smaller ones, to push narratives, to experiment in pushing narratives, to probe how easy it is to change perceptions among a select group of people about a topic.
It may not even be apparent what the goal is or why people or agencies are going through this much trouble, but there are complicated interconnections that a lot of people are trying to explore every day and set up intersecting narratives for tomorrow.
Not all of them are going to be at all successful, meaningful or even make sense. That’s part of it too, to see how people respond to almost random new narratives and topics becoming more prevalent.
Basically, trust no one, believe nothing. Go outside, make friends, kill your social media, be social in real life, exercise and stop spending money. If we all did this the bot-farms and corruption would dry out overnight.

the intersecting narratives I had pick up on is ‘too close for comfort’ parenting eg helicopter parenting. infantilizing ones own parent and cloaked romantic jestures (akin to kissing a parent on the lips, something that is odd but can pass by as normal in some family structures). these narratives seem to be pushed with stories to paraphrase (badly) “I am my mothers IT guy also her carer, also I am trapped” this was to a holy incapable mother who would loose passwords and act with aggression and guilt. now this one i am somewhat hesitant to call out but it did fit the mo.
(gender indeterminate) “me and my dad have a new flat that he bought, we are sharing a bed” followed with a picture of a very modern but empty living space with a double bed. I believe this had been the first of the kind of post I seen, this one garnered alot of reaction comments and likes respectively and in the affirmative. i truly believe this one to be fake but for what reason someone would craft this post isn’t apparent.
A photo of a large and what one would assume, very expensive edible bouquet with a title and short comment from OP again to butcher the quite) “my dad bout me this edible bouquet” and the comment I can’t remember but the vibe was one of appreciation and gratitude.
most of the posts I had seen used a photo of an object or place but not all.

Sounds to me like just basic incest kinkposting.
The bottom-tier of all online psyops is just kink-posting by teenage guys who want to try to normalize whatever weird shit they’re getting off on. “My 18 year old sister is staying with me for a family gathering and we have to share a bed, is this normal?” “People say I’m way too close to my Llama because we tongue kiss and share a bedroom, but I think it’s cute and innocent!” “My wife’s best friend wants to sleep between us because convoluted and completely unrealistic reasons I’m going to gloss over, Am I overreacting?”
