Part 7/16:
One of the more controversial aspects is how social media is portrayed as a bubble that traps characters in infantilized, narcissistic worlds. There’s a recurring motif of characters glued to their screens, unable to walk or engage with real-world danger without explicit commands or digital guidance. This is interpreted as a critique of how social media distorts perception, dulls societal awareness, and fosters immediate but shallow interactions.
The characters’ obsession with superficial approval—highlighted by their constant use of the word “babes”—reinforces a culture of narcissism and infantilization. Their inability to walk without external prompts or their refusal to acknowledge the chaos outside their digital bubbles underscores the dangers of social media addiction.
