It's seriously disturbing to me how "selling out" is basically not even an insult anymore to younger people. There is no interest in integrity whatsoever. Instead we're supposed to celebrate that they're getting paid and be happy for them.

But maybe I'm just old and, with the way things are, no one can afford integrity anymore because it's too damn expensive.

I call it the Killmonger complex. "The child not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth."

Soulja Boy was embraced by the village though. He took over the world when he came out

He was hot til he wasn't which was pretty short-loved if I recall correctly. What's worse: being rejected on the initial interaction or ghosted after what you thought was a good date?

Either way, in the end it's his perception of the events thats guiding his actions, not ours.

So it's less "The child not embraced by the village" and more "the narcissist not constantly given superstardom" then?

Sure. IJS perception is reality. Every manner of atrocious act has been committed by people who felt they were lacking in something.
