Part of QQ's merchandise proceeds has gone to thoughtful charitable contributions such as Planned Parenthood, No Kid Hungry, Fair Fight Action, and the American Pancreatic Association, among others. Even the evolution of his online store shows the striking decision to abandon 'fun' for profundity. This level of awareness and commentary has evolved into a few distinct lines of merchandise that blend his signature humor with a clear political stance of decency and dignity. His content then took a new turn by focusing on the 2020 election-capitalizing on seemingly endless gaffs, yes, but also piercingly aware of the risks and implications of voting and its outcome-and continues to remark on the development of the new U.S. He began to advocate for human safety, the need for accurate and honest information to the public, and mental health awareness. So, without quite realizing it at the time, Tommy Marcus leaped from funny, young, and light-hearted meme creator to an opinionated, undeniably politicized contributor. And before his eyes, Marcus saw his page become not a persona, but in fact, a person-himself. The greater the QQ audience, the more appropriate it seemed to air his own personal views and opinions. Of course, he still made jokes about the single pair of sweatpants that everyone was wearing at home and some self-induced haircuts, but strategically as a superficial balance to what was otherwise increasingly pressing societal concerns. He stopped worrying about pleasing everyone and staying 'light,' realizing that the 'heavy' content was the only authentic way to contribute to the social media space. Tommy adapted, adopting the QQ persona as a true reflection of his own opinions. Within a mere two months, the page had inevitably taken a political direction. This honesty and transparency provided comfort and community. The page's initial relevance came from 'funny' relatable content, yet the true strength of QQ's follower base came from its direct acknowledgment of the chaos, confusion, and darkness of COVID-19. QQ's combination of humor, humility, and sheer camaraderie proved explosive and unexpectedly meaningful. Yet his desire to support and respond to an engaged audience helped push him toward expressing his own distinct identity and posting the bold opinions and political stances that he once shied away from (with every follower lost to 'political agendas' came three other ardent supporters). Marcus first aimed only to create self-satirical content about staying home with a stockpile of Chef Boyardee. He accidentally became a social media sensation-as his Instagram account evolved from making memes about the pandemic lockdown to creating bold content, opening societal dialogue, and fundraising for community organizations. NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / Novem/ Tommy Marcus, a 25-year-old content creator under the Instagram handle never saw any of this coming.
