Newgrounds moment

Posted by nleolnator - August 30th, 2021


Interacting with famous people is weird. It's different from, say, twitter, where being "famous" is having hundred thousands or millions of followers, here it's more in the thousands. But it's legitimately weird, stan culture and how youtube and other platforms with celebrities has made it strange just waltzing in and finding people that are just... People. Like people that are chill and you can reach out to and see them in the community interacting with everyone and it's the thing I really like about newgrounds. Not putting people on pedestals or turning them into idols, just talented creative people that are just chill human beings who exist not deified on a different plane yknow? That's what sometimes makes it hard to make friends, there are like, people who have made so much cool shit and received well deserved attention for being amazing talented, creative people, and there are people like me, a high schooler with no purpose in life just kinda sittin here in my own little corner I've carved out for myself. I don't consider myself particularly talented, but I have a lot of passion and I feel like I'm good at talking and writing and understand what sounds good with music and if I tried I could really create some cool shit. I look forward to what this community has to hold in the future for me and everyone, and thanks for being chill. Peace yall ♡

As someone who has been around and worked with famous people for years, I totally agree with this! famous people, are just people, they're not any different to people who don't have a big following. Only difference is that they're just more well known, and if can be hard not to put them on such a pedestal. It can be hard to remember that they're not robots and that they have lives outside of producing content. I always get so mad when I see creators take breaks, and their fans are begging them to stay because they want more content, it's unbelievably selfish.
Great vlog post mate! It's always cool to see others share their piece of mind :)

Yeah man, everyone is just a person. And while there might be a reason why people have gained attention, this doesn't put them on a different plane of existence than other regular people. That's the weird thing about celebrities
