“Through our over-reliance on the Internet, we’ve become a culture of emotionally disconnected individuals who live in socially isolated cyber-fantasy worlds. The fantasy worlds we create for ourselves on the Internet are an equivalent of the modern myth of Narcissus where we spend hours in an isolated aggrandizement of self.”
Cupcakes represent the mythical pool into which Narcissus fell and drowned, Hokemeyer says.

“In addition, cupcakes evidence the narcissism born of the Internet by feeding us in shallow and un-nutritious ways. Similar to the way we cruise the Internet looking for bite-size and delicious bits of information, cupcakes enable us to cruise the sugary world of self-indulgence.”

“You see, it isn’t as if he stopped liking what he liked before—the weird shit. No, if his pornographic movies were about anything, they were about the grotesque persistence of our pleasures and the possibility of following them unto perdition. No, you don’t mend your ways because you stop liking what you like; you mend your ways because you, like Gregory Dark, grow scared of liking what you like forever, of liking what you like alone, of liking what you like unloved—because that would make you the devil. Is Gregory Dark the devil? Well, he sure as hell doesn’t want to be…” —
