This course, titled The Clout Chasing Culture Vultures Starter Pack, is a comprehensive guide designed to foster cultural awareness, humility, and moving with honour in an increasingly digital world. It serves as a necessary reality check for those influenced by online algorithms that prioritize aesthetic performance over genuine understanding.
The curriculum is structured into the following modules:
Understanding the Digital Influence: An introduction to how social media acceleration can lead to cultural extraction rather than admiration.
Defining Appropriation vs. Appreciation: A deep dive into why culture is not a disposable aesthetic and the systemic privileges involved when outsiders adopt cultural markers without facing the associated societal risks.
Navigating the Optics Trap: Analyzing the gap between authentic participation and performing for metrics or brand management.
Language and Social Codes: Understanding that slang and linguistic signals are built on shared experience and context rather than TikTok trends.
Practicing Humility and Honour: Learning to move with caution in spaces not built for you and acknowledging that impact matters more than intent.
Respecting Boundaries and Access: Recognizing that belonging is not a subscription service and that some cultural spaces require standing on the sidelines rather than centering oneself.
Moving as a Guest and Ally: Shifting from extraction to contribution by decentering the self, amplifying original creators, and acting as a shield for the culture.
Support Without the Spotlight: Exploring the value of invisible support and education that occurs away from the camera.
The course concludes with a call to Log Off the Stage, encouraging participants to stop performing appreciation and instead focus on the people behind the symbols. By the end of this guide, students will have the tools to notice their own behaviors and move through the world with authentic respect.
