社交媒體用戶屏蔽名人聲援巴勒斯坦
Every year, the Met Gala courts controversy, but in 2024, a TikTok audio track ignited outrage before the event even began. Influencer Haley Kalil faced backlash for using a snippet from the film ‘Marie Antoinette,’ featuring the infamous line, ‘Let them eat cake,’ as she showcased her lavish attire. Critics likened the spectacle to ‘The Hunger Games,’ criticising the disconnect between opulence and global suffering, particularly in light of ongoing conflicts like the Gaza crisis.
每年，Met Gala 都會引起爭議，但在 2024 年，一段 TikTok 音軌在活動開始前就引發(fā)了憤怒。網紅海莉·卡利爾 (Haley Kalil) 在展示自己奢華的著裝時，因使用了電影《絕代艷后》中的一句臺詞“讓他們吃蛋糕”而遭到強烈反對。批評者將這一奇觀比作“饑餓游戲”，批評富裕與全球苦難之間的脫節(jié)，特別是考慮到加沙危機等持續(xù)不斷的沖突。
Social media platforms have become battlegrounds for shaping public discourse, especially concerning the Israel-Palestine conflict. With audiences primarily exposed to the issue through digital channels, platforms like Instagram and TikTok have become outlets for frustration and activism. Simultaneously, a grassroots movement known as ‘Blockout 2024’ emerged, urging users to block celebrities to diminish their influence and redirect attention to pressing global issues.
社交媒體平臺已成為塑造公眾言論的戰(zhàn)場，尤其是有關以色列-巴勒斯坦沖突的言論。由于受眾主要通過數字渠道接觸到這一問題，Instagram 和 TikTok 等平臺已成為表達不滿和激進主義的發(fā)泄渠道。與此同時，一場名為“Blockout 2024”的草根運動興起，敦促用戶屏蔽名人，以削弱他們的影響力，并將注意力轉移到緊迫的全球問題上。
The Blockout movement has gained momentum, with thousands participating in calls to action on social media. Alongside blocking celebrities, efforts to provide direct aid to Gaza have intensified. Influencers are facing pressure to promote fundraising initiatives like Operation Olive Branch, highlighting the role of social media in mobilising support for humanitarian causes amidst geopolitical conflicts.
封鎖運動勢頭強勁，數千人在社交媒體上呼吁采取行動。除了封鎖名人之外，向加沙提供直接援助的努力也有所加強。有影響力的人面臨著推動“橄欖枝行動”等籌款活動的壓力，這突顯了社交媒體在地緣政治沖突中動員對人道主義事業(yè)的支持方面的作用。
While the impact of social media activism remains uncertain, the Blockout movement seems to be a shift towards digital solidarity and accountability. As the conflict unfolds through short-form videos and Instagram posts, the conversation sparked by events like the Met Gala indicates a growing intersection between celebrity culture, social media activism, and global crises.
盡管社交媒體激進主義的影響仍不確定，但封鎖運動似乎是向數字團結和問責制的轉變。隨著沖突通過短片和 Instagram 帖子展開，Met Gala 等活動引發(fā)的對話表明名人文化、社交媒體激進主義和全球危機之間的交集日益緊密。
