I cant tell if the world is trolling me or not rn, but I watched enough of Tiger King to not be sold at all.
Dont get me wrong, its filmed and directed marvelously. Its very impressive. I just cant physically watch it.
Youre telling me there was this whole feud going on over social media about this guy and animal activism, and was on local TV and news over the course of years, and while I was working in an office cubicle for the last ~5 years listening to podcasts 9 hours a day of comedians traveling around the world talking in depth about show business and crazy people they meet or on the internet from all around the world, and not a single guest thought to mention joe exotic once? Like not even a minute or two poking at this insane situation? That the whole time there were documentary filmmakers following these people around that are all involved and the people all act very well, are composed, speak articulately, are patient, cooperative about being interviewed about it, could participate in nicely staged backgrounds and the filmmakers just film complicitly while this was all happening in some kinda bubble that no internet troll could possibly penetrate and upload to youtube or share on mainstream media?
I cant enjoy the series because im so fixated on how this character being a real person couldnt be even remotely possible. When I'm watching it its like its trying so hard to convince me its a real thing that I cant appreciate the plot; even if fictional.
Is there a key detail im missing here? Am I the one whos about to be owned here or is this just a shiny thing that people cant not stare at, jaws on the floor?
Its making me kinda paranoid that theres something kinda dark happening in the background. Like theres some reason to give people something other than the news and politics to pay attention to while people are all working from home, unemployed, uninsured, and/or need something to escape from when theyre anticipating big financial problems...?
If I was the government and I had access to a PR guy, and I'm desperately trying to maintain status in the world as a superpower while handling a crisis in probably the worse way possible, an addictive crime documentary that feels so current, so real, and would be totally bingeable would be reeeeeally fucking convenient for my PR guy to pull out of his ass right about now... right?
That would be a pretty fucking sweet secret weapon to pull the trigger on if I goddamn needed one.
When do we get the fucking guillotines out?
