Why are 'Celebrities' so Susceptible to Social Contagion and Virtue Display?
In the past and on another blog, I have written about the unusually high rates of female celebrities reporting sexual abuse and high levels of narcissism, attention whoring and extra-woke SJW-ism among 'celebrities' in general. It is no secret that 'celebrities' (especially those in the entertainment sector) of western countries exhibit a lot of behaviors which are uncommon among the general population of those countries. While I have my own theories about the reasons behind this apparent clustering of odd behavior patterns and life-experiences among those who are 'celebrities' or aspiring to be one, that is a topic best left for a future post. Maybe we can also discuss, in that post, why western societies require 'celebrities' to a level not seen in other cultures and countries. Hint.. it has something to do with social atomization.
Now let us talk about another annoying pattern behavior of 'celebrities'- namely their high susceptibility to social contagion and virtue display. What makes this behavior even more peculiar is that anybody with more than half-a-brain can see the hilarious fakeness of their behavior. Some of you might remember hearing all those jokes about Hollywood celebrities preferentially adopting black children from Africa about 10-15 years ago. Or how the children of actors, musicians and models started coming out gay, lesbian, queer etc at record numbers in past decade. While the rates of alternative sexual orientations do vary a bit across different populations, it is a very suspicious when those rates in ‘clebrities’ and their progeny are over 5-10 times those seen in rest of population.
With that in mind, let us talk about the latest social contagion spreading among 'celebrities'. Have a look at the picture above to understand what I am talking about. FYI: I came across this image montage on Twatter. While I was initially skeptical about the it, a little background research shows that it is factually accurate. Here is the one about Megan Fox and her son, Gwen Stefani and her son, Adele and her son and there are many more. So what are your theories about why so many 'celebrities' are enthusiastic about screwing over the developing identities of their children? Isn't it also a bit odd that we almost never saw this sort of stuff before 2015-2016. If this isn't an example of social contagion, I don't know what is..
