For the assignment I choice: Leave me alone (or don't?) from Payman Sipass.
False shyness
The blog that ‘’inspired’’ me the most was from Payman: Leave Me Alone (Or Don’t?) What hooked me about this topic is that I fully agree with Payman that our civilization would not be where it is today if we had never collaborated toward a common goal as a species. What I find interesting is the question of why some people struggle with social interaction. Is it due to the increasing individualization of modern Western society? Or is social media to blame? Whatever the cause, the robot Mirumi from Yukai Engineering plays into the idea of a like minded, shy companion that is a creature that craves attention with its ‘’cute’’ fluffiness but simultaneously holds back. A sort of false modesty: I do want to hang out with you, but I don’t like you kind of thing.
Maybe this false attitude is almost like a wolf in sheep's clothing. People who behave like Mirumi might wear a "fake fur coat," but in reality, they are ready to attack at any moment. They appear shy, but there may be a hidden agenda behind it. And their behavior is influenced by things they see on the internet.
Below you see two profile texts of George. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He pretends to be a shy but genuinely nice guy. But in reality, he is the most egocentric asshole in the world once you get to know him.
Tinder profile bio of George that you see when looking at his page:
Hello, my name is George. I am a 41 year old man and the ray of sunshine in the community where I live. I’m a bit shy but always ready to help others. Together with my sweet dog, Job, I usually take walks through the park and on weekend mornings, I always visit the market to get my fresh cheese. I work in a laboratory with great colleagues which brings me a lot of joy. I absolutely love animals. I often visit the zoo to pet and feed the goats. Cooking is another passion of mine and I mostly make pasta, but I also like to experiment with Asian dishes from time to time. On our first date I would ask you about your favorite color and dish. Hopefully, we’ll talk soon if we’re a match!
Tinder profile bio of George what he is actually about:
Jesus, how annoying that you're reading my profile text! Anyway I'm George, 41 and 100% undeniably a man! I absolutely despise my neighbors, so I don’t talk to them. I hate people but always pretend to like them.
My dog Job? I let him starve until he died because I was so done with that creature. Most of the time I grab food from a fast food restaurant. Cooking? Not for me. I don’t have a job anymore. These days I live off welfare and I’m totally fine with that. This way I don’t have to deal with annoying colleagues or managers constantly nagging me.
I have a massive hatred for animals. I’d rather spend my days eating meat well done and dripping with fat.
If you want to go on a date with me, I expect you to take me somewhere I actually enjoy. Otherwise, I’m not coming!
Laterrrr!
