The Actual Fake World - Twitter



Most of nowadays generation spend a lot their time to explore social media which is called as ‘fake world’, and Twitter is one of them. As we know, people could communicate and share their story on it. However, if we explore Twitter more, we will be able to find a more ‘fake world’ called Role Player World.
Role Play is an activity where someone pretends to be a character (idol/actor/actress) they want or we could say that they play a role in a simple way. Based on an interview that I did personally, I could say that RPW (Role Player World) is the actual fake world. It had created their ‘world’ itself on Twitter. Instead of using a real account, the users have to use a fake account and they should keep their real identity while playing the role.


It is one of the example of role player account that playing the role as Oh Sehun which is a member of Korean boy group EXO. As we can see, the user put some information on the bio such as RP which means that Oh Sehun is a parody account, 1994 which means that the idol was born on the year of 1994, so the other RP user can call him as 'oppa' (how korean called the older brother) to show a good manner, and the last one ooh sehun is the idol that the user choose to be his/her face claim. Then the user made a tweet that mention she/he was busy to prepare a duo debut as the real idol is going to be debut as duo with the other EXO member, Park Chanyeol.
Playing the role without being known might be a fun activity. The users could say something that they couldn’t in their real social account. In RPW they interact freely and find the other character to be a ‘fambest’ (a term for family or bestie in RPW). Sometimes they exchange telephone numbers to keep in touch while take a rest of playing the role in a long time. I personally agree that RPW can help us to make a friend. However, the convenience that RPW could give to the users can be a fatal. The more you enjoy RPW the more you forget about your real life. Why? Most of the users more comfortable with their character in role player account than being their selves. It could be an addiction and bothered their real life. They make well interaction with role player account but not with their real life. Furthermore, there’s nothing that 100% clear because it is a fake world. If the users choose a wrong person, it could leads them to the wrong society.
In my opinion, people should live their real life and learn how to create more interaction with real people
