It's been like that for a while here, I've given up on any serious political discussion since this place has settled into a "kids shitposting" zeitgeist
Be as serious as you want. I'm just really sick of the Shrek memeing or any other really repetitive gag being overdone while adding nothing to it to actually make it funny. It's just annoying.
Honestly it's the anti natalists and lack of horny mindfulness gets my goat way more, but rule of three. I just find the Shrek thing annoying and juvenile
Shrek came out when I was ten and at any time they needed to put on a movie to shut the kids up for a while it would be Shrek every damn time. This along with years of kids repeating lines ad nauseum. The ironic Shrek meme thing has its time in like 2012, just let it die.
it's less individuals being un-serious and more that there are obvious hot-button topics that a significant portion of the userbase doesn't have the ability to approach without going full blast "found a liberal on reddit" incoherent. It's not worth discussing some stuff because you'll just end up fending off bad faith arguments, so we're basically just a meme aggregator.

Yeah, the rest was a bit hyperbolic but the anti natalists thing is legit weird and bad.
Are you a guardian journalist by night?

Putting movie to shut the kids is not great :(
It was like when it rained during lunch breaks so going outside wasnt an option or whatever. Stuff like that.
