    The eternal boomer

    “I miss being a kid and therefore we need to genocide the undesirables!” Like that’s it, that’s their underlying villain origin story; they became adults and miss being a kid. Literal disney adults, literal disney adults are running circles around us in politics and the culture wars. It’s so humiliating we’re losing to THAT!

    And the FUCKING 70s? That decade sucked ass. I wasn’t there but my dad most certainly was.

      I live with an elderly person who watches only these movies and cable news, so believe me when I say that they definitely feel like the kind of media that would be on TV if the Nazis had succeeded in WWII

        Yes the nazis loved very in-offensive quaint nuclear family landscape settings. Movies that had a “deep message” and “too artsy and abstract” as part of cultural criticism was seen as part of judeo-bolshevism modernism.

          I can’t help but wonder, do gamergaters not realize that Adolf Hitler would probably hate most vidya/anime?

          Like call me basic but it’s pretty obvious my favorite anime is Dragon Ball. It brings me satisfaction knowing the nazis would hate it.

    If 90s Animal Movies were thrash bands Beethoven would be Anthrax. That's some below Homeward Bound respect. To even pretend to be in the same realm as Air Bud is just hubris

      Where’s that chapo bit?

      They literally reminisced about some proleslop film and thought “yep, 75% of the world’s population needs to die because I like this movie!”

      Then by their own logic, they’re the ones that did the race baiting. 4chan, facebook and the underlying Amerikkkan hivemind decided “hey we want racism back!” (Not that it ever ended.)

      We didn’t stop being color blind, they did and we simply had to as well.

      Yes the 90s is definitely what I associate with the “we archived everything” “we fixed racism” and “I don’t see color/I am a friend to all humans” or the “why are black people still upset about what happened xxx years ago?”

      Read some Marvel from the 70's people were scared as fuck it was the end of the world because of the oil crisis and turmoil in the middle east and it made it's way to comic books.

      The first Gundam is from that era and Newtypes were portrayed as psychedelic world conscious emphats that would bring a better peaceful world. Basically the OG “the kids are alright”/“Zoomers will save us”

      I didn't like the song when a black man sang it because black people scare me. Then some white boys from the suburbs did a cover for it and I could feel my roman ancestors smiling down on me from heaven.

    Beethoven

    Dog can't talk

    Nobody shrinks

    Nobody grows giant

    No Robin Williams

    Dog can't even play basketball

    Fuck this shit, I refuse to believe anyone is nostalgic for Beethoven

    EDIT: I looked up the plot because I couldn't remember what even happens in this piece of shit movie, and the moral of the story is "animal testing bad" which is so funny because you know these hogs would be baying in a fury if you directly said that to them.

          St. Bernard's are already fucking huge. One time my friend mistook one for a bear, said it looks like there's a bear in the house, the person living there said 'oh! That's Buster!' Friend the asked 'what's a Buster?'

          Buster was cool as hell
