No, it's not because of my age. Young people these days are even more in-your-face, "toxic", nasty etc than the teens I knew growing up. I don't think this really changes based on their politics
Basically young people have less chill today than they did 20 years ago
This extends to every form of media. Kids shows like Amphibia and other Disney channel stuff have faster dialogue and animation sequences than stuff from 20 years ago.
Video games: FPS shooters have become faster. Halo was the standard back in 2003, but the Call of Duty overtook it to become way more popular. CoD is way faster paced and you die in 2 shots instead of Halo's 20 or so.
MOBAs: the entire genre is a symptom of this.
Overwatch: combining MOBAs with FPS is also a symptom of this, the amount of stuff you need to pay attention to is insanely high
Everything 20 years ago, and even 10 years ago, was just way slower and normal.
Police violence, racist shootings, and Karens calling the cops on you for no reason have increased too, but thanks for the whitesplanation
You know what, you’ve turned me. I’m convinced. The shiny lights and fast paced action of Overwatch really did make children more reactionary or whatever.
It's more that the lack of chill, a critical element needed in the stepping back in order to analyze something properly, has made people both more reactionary AND more hooked onto faster-paced video games
It sounds like you're bent on proving me right!
No it hasn't.
All of that has gone on forever, but no one was able to record it with a smartphone and the news wouldn't report it because it was business as usual.
