Everyone would talk about it if noticing reality wasn't coded as low class and borderline illegal. In the real version of The Emperor's New Clothes, Netflix makes shows where only stupid hicks can't see his clothes; the New York Times calls everyone who can't see it Nazis; studies are generated that show a correlation between brain damage and not seeing the clothes; social media posts pointing out the lack of clothes get tagged with fact checks about how the clothes really exist, if not automatically deleted for hate speech; and, when the child finally states the obvious in front of the Emperor, his parents quickly take him home in shame and hope the police don't kick down their door.
Spot on metaphor. The other ironic thing I noticed with these types of people is that they're not even above believing in conspiracies, just as long as its socially approved to do so(e.g. Russians hacking elections or systematic white privilege)

Daring to question the media narrative gets you labeled terms such as a Sexist, Racist, Anti-Semite, Nazi, Terrorist Sympathizer, Terrorist, etc. The Media wants to decide the real events, including your real motivations & mind state.

And even now the Republicans are only comfortable acknowledging some things as long as they can put the blame on antifa or China, but nobody else.
