Man “Discovers” He Can Simply Stop Being A Party-Planning Corporate Tool, Chaos Ensues

AITA for thinking that Jake Shane, the internet’s current favorite “relatable” theater kid, just dropped the most galaxy-brained hot take of the year? In a move that has shocked absolutely nobody with a working frontal lobe, Shane announced he was, and I quote, “stepping back from the performative hustle culture of content creation” to focus on his mental health.

The TL;DR? After a grueling year of throwing the most aggressively curated “Pink Pony Club” parties and gaslighting us all into thinking being a gluttonous, sloppy drunk is a personality trait, our boy realized that maybe, just maybe, he doesn’t have to film himself having a panic attack for engagement.

Cue a 45-second video of him looking pensive in a dimly lit apartment, soundtracked by a slowed-down Lana Del Rey track, while he stares at a single dying succulent. The caption? “sometimes the bravest thing you can do is put the camera down and actually feel the void.”

Oh, how noble. The man who built an entire brand on being “real” finally got real and realized the realest move is to log off. Groundbreaking. Next he’s gonna tell us water is wet and that hangovers are, in fact, painful. I, for one, can’t wait for the Netflix documentary about his year-long, soul-searching sabbatical that will inevitably follow. Truly, the hero we didn’t ask for.
