I swear to god Instagram is like the patriarchy speedrun.

If it finds out you're a woman, within mere minutes it's 100% "you're fat" "try this diet" "you've GOT to buy this viral dress on shein!!"

And if you're a man, it's boobs, ass, objectification, and products to make you feel more like a man.

The sheer velocity at which Instagram will shovel you into capitalist-patriachy++ is shocking.

...have you ever thought about the way you're using the app, then? Because I, personally, get nothing else other than dumb memes and posts from people I follow.

When I say this happens in mere minutes and to everyone I know, I mean it.

For the record, I don't use Instagram because it's basically always been toxic. It's one of the fastest ways to feel bad about your body and life.

No, stop with the stupid shaming. The point was that the algorithm pushes certain content on people, no matter what they actually want to see.

And I said that I do not have this issue and my current account is relatively fresh, having been made in May of this year.
