It was a drag night it’s possible that was intentional rather than Tonedeaf.
But you never see literate twinks slinging product around either so it always feels weirdly desperate.

I think that’s the kind of thing that hits me with “reads innaccurate to the situation” vibes, and usually allows me to see the artifice in the actions presented less emotionally. I actually try to intentionally trigger this when signing up for things online; there’s no reason a commercial company needs my actual real name. So if my name is Michael, I might sign up as Mikey or just M, to remind myself of the artifice being presented ongoingly when they email me for a new promo. Just enough to remind myself that fundamentally its always a sales pitch.
