自拍鲨鱼：用生物墙换流量的存在性诈骗Shark Selfies: An Existential Scam Trading Biological Walls for Traffic
所谓的“finfluencers”在做一件极其典型的 weaponized 表达：将野生动物的生存本能，强行转化为证明自己“勇敢”或“亲近自然”的身份标签。在他们的叙事里，鲨鱼不是具有独立主权和生存逻辑的生物，而是背景板，是用来换取 engagement 的道具。这本质上是一场关于“存在性”的掠夺——通过抹除对方的主体性，来确立自己的社交地位。
这种行为揭示了 cultural layer 的一种病态逻辑：在算法驱动的注意力经济中，真实的自然关系被“景观化”了。博主们通过扮演一个“能够掌控危险”的角色，获得短期内的流量红利。但这是一种假.最优解表达，因为其代价是对方的压力激素激增、免疫系统受损，以及自身被咬的风险。这种博弈中没有公正表达，只有单方面的入侵。
最讽刺的是，当鲨鱼出于生存本能进行反击时，叙事往往又会滑向“鲨鱼危险”的旧剧本。这种元暴力的运作方式极其高效：先通过入侵将其客体化，再通过其反击将其妖魔化。这不过是人类中心主义叙事的一次微缩版复刻——定义规则，制造冲突，然后宣布对方是威胁。
别把这当成简单的“缺乏常识”，这是一种权力欲望的表达。当你试图通过一张自拍来证明你与某种生物“共存”时，你其实是在宣布你拥有定义这段关系的权力。真正的共存应该是承认对方的生物墙，而不是试图用镜头把它撞碎。
These so-called “finfluencers” are engaging in a classic weaponised expression: forcibly converting the survival instincts of wildlife into identity tags that signal “bravery” or “closeness to nature.” In their narrative, sharks are not sovereign beings with their own biological logic, but mere props—backgrounds used to harvest engagement. This is essentially a predation of existence—establishing one's own social status by erasing the subjectivity of the other.
This behavior reveals a pathological logic at the cultural layer: in an algorithm-driven attention economy, authentic natural relationships are “spectacularised.” Influencers adopt a persona of “one who controls danger” to gain short-term traffic. This is a fake optimal expression, as the cost is the surge of stress hormones and immune suppression in the sharks, and the risk of being bitten for the human. There is no just expression in this game, only unilateral invasion.
The irony is that when sharks react based on survival instinct, the narrative often slides back into the old script of “dangerous sharks.” This is how meta-violence operates: first, objectify the other through invasion; then, demonise them through their reaction. It is a miniature replica of the masculine-centric narrative—defining the rules, manufacturing the conflict, and then declaring the other a threat.
Do not mistake this for a simple lack of common sense; it is an expression of power. When you try to prove “coexistence” through a selfie, you are actually declaring your power to define the relationship. True coexistence requires respecting the biological wall, not trying to smash it with a lens.
