about this story

The more real the person, the less people watch it. Plastic figurines are purchased, statues of mythic people revered, neon lights illuminating plastered faces get a lot of attention. Costumed children are given candy while they walk alone the day before and after.

My friend has a tattoo of a a bracelet because he thinks the bracelet is annoying to wear. I saw him shake hands with someone wearing the same bracelet. He scoffed at them for how cliche the guy was.

I don't think originals are original either, but I think you should take a look at the originals when you own the simulations.
