* NiceHat: When you take a photo of a guy with a hat, the hashtag says "OOH NICE HAT" and other people start wearing them. Trying this again afterwards leads to "nvm hats aren't cool now" as the trend dies.
Added DiffLines:
* ManipulativeEditing: The entire point of the game relies on this. The very first picture you take that has drastic consequences is of the odd square who yells and instills fear in the populace. When the circle runs from a square as a result, the caption phrases it as rudeness and intolerance, and this in turn causes a square to turn his nose up to a circle, and it just snowballs from there.

''We Become What We Behold'' is a video game created by [[Creator/NickyCase Nutcase Nightmare]], released on Website/{{Kongregate}} in 2016. It's a DeconstructionGame where you work as a photographer for an unnamed social media network and must take picture of interesting things to make them go viral. It starts off innocently, with you taking pictures of innocuous things like a man in a nice hat... but quickly turns into a bloody mess, with clickbait hashtags and {{Flame War}}s. Basically a satire of the internet/modern media cycle.
