Have you ever considered that you’re in an echo chamber? People have not shut up about this movie since it released, whether it be negative or positive, hell you’re even contributing to the endless discourse rn over a month later. There are hundreds of memes from this movie, that fucker in the glasses spawned multiple just by himself 😂

What fucker in the glasses? I haven't seen those memes. I talk about this because I do bump into very different kinds of people. I know I won't hear about Avatar from one of my best friends because he didn't like either, but I would bump into people asking me if I have watched Wednesday (I haven't) or whatever Netflix has released that week or whether I watched the recent release in theaters of a blockbuster movie, but I have yet to have someone ask me if I watched Avatar. I know the topic won't come up in my movie club because, you know, but at least I hear from other people I work with what new thing they're watching, even if our taste in media seems to be very different, but not this movie.

You are living in an echo chamber and you don’t even realize it

No I don't. As I said, I bump into all kinds of people because of my work. One of my best friends has very different taste in movies than me. He is more of a mainstream guy and yet, no Avatar discussion. This is just one example. But no, no echo chamber since I really want to stop seeing Wednesday tribute dance videos. I have no desire to watch it and somehow I see a ton of people close to me reference it or talk about it.
