The funniest (in the "wow, that's fucked up" sense) thing about that sub is how they'll come up with quasi-left ("they're all racists and misogynists") reasons to hate gen Z while at the same time doing shit like this where they cheer for war and social Darwinism.
They also love calling Zoomers "low T," because their hatred of the manosphere ends where the chance to use its ideas against the people they despise begins.

IMAX levels of even, coming from boomers and gen-x'ers.
I remember how much older gens shit on us when we were growing up and, seeing millennials do the same to the next generation is depressing in a "the cycle of abuse endures" kind of way.
Pretty sad. We grew up in the shadow of our boomer parents that ended up hating on us and now we're doing the same to our kids, younger generation. So like you said it's just the system continuing.
I don't like that mustaches have come back and having the worst ever mullet being a thing sucks but fashion is where it ends for me. Kids look like the worst part of the 80s that was emulated by early 2000s hipsters as the 20 year fashion cycle recycles what we recycled and seems to be choosing only the stuff millennials didn't like. Which makes sense, but relaxed fit jeans and Alan Jackson mullets with intentional teenage mustaches is a bad look. Otherwise there is practically no difference between the 'generations'
i'm personally just more fascinated by the current fashion cycle. also how elements of late 90s/early 00s nu-metal alt-fashion have also returned. i keep seeing zoomers that look like how we dressed in 1998 while listening to slipknot. only difference is the nose rings and more professional hair dye jobs (we had eyebrow rings and far shittier quality dyes)
This is a new form of “woke bullying” that I’ve seen. Take someone and find a character flaw, then twist it to make it out as them being some kind of bigot, and now you have a justified reason to be as nasty as you want towards them.
A brain rot example would be the streamer Pokimane getting sexist slurs and comments made towards her all the time with the justification being that she said the n-word with a soft “a” when she was 18.
Maybe its because I had a catholic upbringing until highschool, but I remember being taught even as a kid that "yeah so you should totally be nice to people, and children are the future."
I dunno. I always saw the "children are the future" mentality as sort of a "no shit, they're younger, it's in the name" type thing. But thinking about it now? I haven't seen anything like respecting elders or kids in common discourse in like.....ages. Granted I'm in my mid 30s now and pay attention to different things than I did when I was young, but still.
I wish "be nice" was a thing that would be taken more seriously. I hold myself accountable too, I can be a crotchety bastard sometimes, and get disappointed in myself upon reflection.
Sorry for the ramble, taking a brain break from some freelancing qualification test.
A normal society that hates its own children.
Jesus, imagine being this psychopathic.

Claiming that the only reason sexist men are bad is because they aren't living up to patriarchal ideals? Many such cases.
I think that sub is mostly millennials.

It wasn't even that long ago. Hell, I'm pretty sure I still see articles that shit on millenials. Its amazing how no one ever fucking learns.
you have to wonder if anyone even wants to learn.

Fr, recently saw a kid with a shaved head, Good Charlotte style eyeliner and leather trenchcoat recently.
I’m already seeing it from zoomers when they talk about “gen alphas.”

I think one of the few good lines from the Simpsons after Lindsay Naegle was introduced was "Children are the future. TODAY belongs to ME."
