Using "sheeple" unironically says more about you than it does about them. There's nothing remarkable about being too socially stunted to be able to acknowledge groups beyond your own.

I fully acknowledged groups beyond my own --- and the fact that corporations acknowledge and abuse these groups vulnerability to social pressure.

After all, this is what advertising (i.e. Google) is all about --- coercing people to act a certain way and buy certain things in order to fit into a particular social stereotype.

Which is worse --- being socially stunted or socially vulnerable?
