|
|

The show gets under your skin because it confronts the contradictions of the "postinternet" condition: the need for intimacy and authenticity vs the desire to take refuge behind a screen, the fetishization of technology vs the horror of it, the increased awareness of being connected to socially conscious media vs the unconscious consumerism of contemporary capitalist culture.

In the Trump era, Solnit, who writes against corruption of all kinds — environmental, political, social — seems herself wholly uncorrupted: by these sorts of discussions of commercial popularity; by the harried activity of online life; by the social spheres of Washington, D.C., and New York City; by the aesthetic fetishization that so many women writers are subject to.

"It's a perfect confluence of two industries historically built on the objectification, fetishization and peddling of women — fashion and Hollywood — and both are fighting for their reputation and relevance right now while still hanging onto their codependence, hoping the moment we are in doesn't subsume a pretty damn good business relationship," said Janice Min, the former editor of The Hollywood Reporter.

Songs like "Incel Warfare" and "The Fetishization ov Asian Women Despite a Demand for a Pure White Race (Outro)" illustrate the collective's masterful grasp on the trope-filled subcultures of underground neo-fascist black metal and 4chan-based "SJW-triggering" internet trolls; their thunderous disdain for those who dwell at the crux of that Cheeto-dusted realm is a balm to the soul of anyone who's witnessed this particular strain of edgelord scum in action.
