Performative Callout Culture as Narrative Technology

Summary

Psyche's song articulates a theory of online accusations as a form of collective narrative construction: fragmented observations are stitched into mythology, innuendo is amplified through repetition and audience validation, and performance (tone, aesthetics, clips, pauses) substitutes for evidence. The accuser manufactures a villain, the audience is trained to validate it, and sincerity becomes irrelevant.
