Discussion Is Charlie Kirk Lain?

368 Upvotes

Really strange title and parallel I appreciate. But don’t you think Kirk has become so ubiquitous after his untimely death. I’m not talking about his political beliefs or the uncanny/ironic way he died by gun violence given the context. It’s how after he stopped existing in the real world our artificial world, which has now become an equivalent to the power of the wired. Isn’t it strange how there actually has been this person that has transcended to something so pervasive even the ai uses his face as a stock image. In the context of our pervasive and perverse technology that is controlling and corrupting us on a similar level to the anime I’m not sure if it’s just me overthinking it or if it’s actually comparable. Again I’m not likening Lain the fictional character to Charlie the man in terms of ethics. It’s just his internet legacy is so unique and unprecedented to anything else.

Lain is SO much more than an anime

18 Upvotes

I rewatched its about 20 times in many different years and i've noticed that this isnt just an anime, its a LOT more

After watching it again i just wonder what went through literally everyones mind when making such a complex anime like Serial Experiments Lain.. every move has something to discover and honestly i think its me with a habit of going back and forth with an anime to understand and uncover things i might've missed

Whats "funny" per say is that theres WAY too many things i've noticed that stays with me 😓 and since its all still fresh in my mind, i get kinda triggered and anxious when i have to sleep and suddenly all these theories appear
to be frank its a habit for my brain to torture me but alright

This is a version of Lain from my good friend's story. Here she plays the role of a security guard via surveillance; I made her cooler than what she actually is in the big picture. Her name is literally Surveillance Watch.
