A commonly held worldview that we'
re all the same deep down inside, and that we all strive for the same things. Typically reinforces normative values of right and wrong, yet framed as
deep, revolutionary, or unique. Not necessarily bound to watchers of the soap opera genre. Generally, describes people who view everything through the lens of entertainment. Especially commonly held on Urban
Dictionary and the
internet at large. Usually, cannot be corrected through repeat social exposure, due to the shallow way in which those who hold these beliefs engage with others.
Sadly, many who view the world in this way seem to suffer from arrested psychological development, having the abstract thinking capabilities of an adolescent. "
Mom, aren't my edgy, completely vapid opinions unique and cool?"
Brad: We all want
sex deep down inside, right? We'
re all humans after all, or something. I think Oprah Winfrey said that one,
maybe.
Asexual: Suffers in silent agony*
Brad: Say, Asexual, you're pretty cute.
Asexual: No thanks. I'
m just not interested in that.
Brad: What are you, some kind of
prude? Unless you ride my cock, I'm going to destroy your self-esteem! Nobody will accept you, unless you ride someone's cock!
Asexual: Well, that's the soap opera worldview for you. Repackaging the same tired filth in a kitschier way.
