A situation that may interest you
[edit]Not exactly anything urgent, but rather an interesting story about article titles and the priorities of the public.
There's a short story about a trans woman called Unknown Number that almost won one of the top science fiction awards a few years ago. It was written by a trans person on Twitter (not sure exactly how the author identifies, as I can't seem to find any online presence for them anymore, and the original Twitter account was deleted).
A few weeks ago, Netflix released a true crime documentary with the same title as the short story. The short story's article then seemed to explode in views, peaking at about 7k per day in early September. This likely has little to do with the story and more with readers attempting to find information about the documentary. The search term "unknown number Wikipedia" is actually trending right now, further proving this theory. An article about the documentary was only published in mainspace yesterday, and I expect that article to trend further in the coming days.
I know that titles of media aren't exactly unique, but art by a trans person being overshadowed by the public's neverending obsession with true crime feels like peak 2025 to me. It just kind of rubs me the wrong way to see a company as big as Netflix use a similar title to media by a small, queer creator. wizzito | say hello! 22:33, 14 September 2025 (UTC)
