Before the era of social media, thinking about getting famous, you would consider, that it’s free to dream. Back then, only the people in politics and on the television were famous. No one else.
However, nowadays, social media like Facebook, YouTube, Instragram, Twitter and the like, can help you get famous. A lot of people today are feeling like celebrities and influencers, undermining what kind of content are they showing. You can be famous - no longer a dream!
This evening, I stumbled upon a content from KMJS - Kapuso Mo Jessica Sojo. This is one of the famous documentary TV shows in the Philippines that I do watch sometimes. In the post, the show featured "Bingo Girl" the name of a Facebook page, of a teen perhaps 18 years of age who got famous of her dancing. She calls it "kaldagan" and I actually don't know what term or dialect it was. As I see it, this girl simply dances and gyrating with her sexy clothes on. She invites video calls from viewers that would dance with her, and mind you some are minors! She claimed herself as a game streamer, but, unfortunately in every 3-4-hour live video she made, I think, 99% of it was dancing.
Was she famous? Definitely! Even got a hitch of publicity from KMJS. But, seriously, I don't think this has significance or moral lesson to learn about people, nature, environment, or life in general. I used to think that documentaries would give us insight about those impactful stories. Well, perhaps the show did showcase that this is one of the easiest ways to be famous. Anyone can call me old fashion, but the videos are displayed publicly and it is not worth emulating by all users in Facebook, especially the kids.
One time, while browsing around Facebook, I bumped into this beautiful girl on her live video, again dressed in sexually appealing top. I was surprised that she called her mom, so ecstatic when her viewers reached a thousand, and the mom was even more happy! I was shocked in disbelief, I thought parents were unaware what this girl was doing, looks like the mother encourages her daughter too!
I have a 7 year old niece who loves to scan over the Facebook of her dad, and I am hoping that she won't come across any video of girls like Bingo Girl. Also, my niece loves to watch Cocomelon cartoons and I was shocked to see another sexy dancing game streamer that uses "cocomelon"hashtag on her videos objectifying her breasts. Just ridiculous!
How to get famous? So, lame and easy nowadays. Create a Facebook or Twitter account, add friends, followers, and whoever you feel like can feed your hunger for attention and self gratification. Upload your beautiful and sexy photos/ videos and campaign a flood of likes/ share and etc. Now, you’re famous! Congratulations!
Popularity and money must be so enticing, but I hope social media avenues can filter contents like the ones I mentioned in this article. Images, videos, and any online content should be properly moderated with safety filters. And, as content creators, we must be conscientious in appropriating our posts in safe or mature levels. Sadly, most of these girls don't know about it, ignorant and misguided.
While people love to go public, do you know that celebrities crave privacy? Do you know that privacy is so expensive for them? It is such a pity to see them having that kind of pressure, that even your private life got magnified by people.
So, how do you want to be famous?
Something random for today, that I guess I should just take the green light (red light, lol!) for publishing...
Thanks for dropping by, reading, and commenting! xoxo
