"Before the election was called, I had a pretty good feeling about it, so I preemptively declare victory and anointed myself an Anarcho-Monarch of Ottowa. Then to my shock and also not shock at all, the elites appointed their own puppet-leader instead, Zed Shabibe. Or something, I dunno, I wasn't paying attention. I'm calling upon my supporters to not recognize the legitimacy of these so-called 'elected officials' unless it's ever me."

No matter the specific reason, they all fall under the Panopticon Effect.

Get the Rotten Tomatoes Dilemma mug.When the opinions of your work of art by the educated few and the general public are wildly different from one another, leaving you unsure on which you should treat as important or relevant.
Ah yes, the ole' Rotten Tomatoes Dilemma; do you listen to the critics who know what they're talking about who what you to stimulate them intellectually, or the audience who come en masse to make an emotional connection with what you've made?
