You’re right, Dave was born in '73, long past the Boomer cutoff point. Boomer is just another easy target to blame this mindset on but like you say this is something that defies generational gaps. I’ve met quite a few transphobic millennials/gen z-ers and from what I’ve seen on youngpeopleyoutube, really young kids are already being poisoned by transphobic social media subcultures.
I’ve heard that Reddit is trying to kill that too so people will use their godawful search feature instead. I got a prompt from the site to take a survey about it sometimes last month and that’s what people were theorizing that it was about.
Why the fuck does that petition site even have a “Zip/Postal Code” box when it doesn’t seem to allow postal codes?
I always remember, when I see Martin Scorsese throw shade at Disney in an interview, that when he made Kundun, the CCP didn’t like it and made Disney restrict distribution of the film. Michael Eisner literally hired Henry Kissinger to do damage control afterwards.
I tried to watch a stream uploaded on YouTube and they put adrolls every 5 minutes, for a 3+ hour video. It was unwatchable. Sucks that pretty much every site is fucking over its users lately. Maybe it’s a sign I should just get away from the internet for a while.
I think the next step is to announce privatization of subreddits. Take a week to get all active members approved and then go private until they take the protests seriously or the site just stops growing and dies off
I thought I saw that these pictures were taken on different days and the guy on the right has been tagged as a “person of interest” and not officially a “suspect”
