Friendship

There is a lot of buzz around social media lessening attention spans and degrading morality and friendships. Chris Bloor touches on this in “What are Friends For?” When he mentions our social network benefits becoming fragmented. However, although I agree with him to a point, if we are thinking about it in a general sense, I also do not believe one can generalize something like Facebook, because it encompasses so many different people, pages and agendas. It is our world in cyber form. We are defined by the way we interact with the world around us, and more importantly, by relationships, including, and maybe most prominently, friendships, and there are so many different kinds, all of which exist on Facebook. My accounts are all centered around Game of Thrones. While these accounts are not people I can track and observe friendships with, friendship is central to the world of fandom that allows and necessitates the existence of said pages. Yes, friendships have been altered by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc, and if one is focusing on the vapid need for “likes” and followers, there is a valid point that friendships are changing for the worse. But how is this different than a pre-internet age popular girl in school who's collecting friends and compliments as if it were a legitimate hobby? Alt Shift X, the creator of some of the best Game of Thrones theory videos I have ever seen has brought a million plus people together in a common love. Most of us will never meet or speak; we cannot consider ourselves friends, however the opportunity to interact is there. Less so than the other two predominantly Facebook pages, but it’s there. Outside of the cyber world, his videos have sparked conversations and bonding experiences through sharing the videos on Facebook or showing them to another person in real life. Every time Alt Shift X posts a new video, I can count on my friend DJ to text me immediately, notifying me and waiting for me to watch it so we can have a discussion about it. Bloor and also William Deresiewicz in “Faux Friendship” bring up the modern social norms in comparison to the past, where people were brought together through religion, family, or another common goal. This still exists, though. Thousands everyday are brought together to Winter-is-coming.net and Watchers on the Wall, both on Facebook. We read, comment and respond to one another. More to the point of friendship, many of the comments include only a tag. One tags an existing friend so that person can see it too. I have done this myself with people I considered acquaintances, and a deeper bond followed due to the story or post I wanted them to see, because I knew we loved the same thing—Game of Thrones. I have also observed, for this post, that interactions in comments can get quite in depth. There is a difference in the type. We engage for information, sometimes. "Tell me about Jaqen Hagar and the Maesters." This is an intro to a instrumental friendship, should the conversation continue. There are also comments that thread on where people talk about theories, joke around about "GoT inside jokes" for so long, you'd think the people were already close in real life. These friendships do not echo those of an instrumental quality, they seem genuine and fun.

Stories go back to the dawn of man. There is nothing more natural for us than to tell and share stories. Facebook is a different medium than cave drawings or a Renaissance tavern, but the core of it is there. What it comes down to is this, in the 21st century, religion is waning, conventional families are becoming fewer, and what we are inherently gathering around now is our love for what we “worship” together. In my case, it’s Game of Thrones. Maybe the way we are interacting in friendships now is the way we are actually hard wired, once you take all of the conservative expectations away.
