Instructions

Just tap the screen or use the arrows. This project explores elitism/classism, as well as the concept of fame being a spectrum with varying degrees instead of just black-and-white. Please take this seriously. I actually got really emotional when I was writing this. I'm tired of the growing divide between me and other scratchers. It's gotten a lot worse since about 900 followers. I know that it can be really tough when you make a project and it doesn't get any views at all except your own view. I think everybody has the right to be seen, and I've had many a time of disappointment myself. (I've got a tutorial on how to get views that might help you out a little, link in the bottom of the Notes if you want) I've been on both ends of this divide. I know it's hard to believe, but the first 5 months or so of my time on scratch, I had less than 50 or so followers. I wouldn't be where I was today if Steven And The Umbrella hadn't been featured. The unfortunate truth of fame is that a lot of it comes down to random chance, but that chance is pretty slim. I hope this project helps to clear up the truth about fame. It's not black-and-white, it's a spectrum. Scratch isn't about fame, and fame will not make you happy. Very few people become famous, and a lot of it is luck. Having fame does not make anybody better than anybody else. Thanks for reading.
