Sorta | Stupid Reacts
Abstract “Sorta Stupid Reacts” names a class of online persona and practice in which creators intentionally adopt a self-deprecating, slightly inept, or guileless stance while responding to culture—videos, news, art, or social trends. Far from mere clowning, this mode channels performance of vulnerability, reframes expertise, and catalyzes community. This paper sketches its anatomy, cultural functions, psychology, and implications for attention economies and civic discourse.
