lmao right. I can't think of any good examples since I wasn't alive during that era (at least when it was at its worst) , but imagine just how many movies couldn't be shown or even sold because it had LGBT themes in it. I'm also not sure its just a boomer thing but i remember the older generation really hating movies or games that had too much sexual tension or violence. Its interesting to read into but one time there was a president that had a part of a speech that went something like: "We well not be a Simpsons time country, our families will be like the Wilsons"

it's all fun and games until the old person can't read their menu right and complains to the manager, but they are just too old and blind.

There’s actually some reasoning behind this in a convoluted way, as younger generations tend to say things like “no problem” instead of “you’re welcome” because they see helping someone as something that is required of them to do, as opposed to older generations who more often see help as a gift you are giving to someone.

As someone who has worked in retail, it’s usually boomers who are the most impolite assholes while young people are largely the most polite and respectful people in the store.

That's definitely a specific cultural mindset. Not everyone would agree that young people deserve as much respect as older people. That kind of makes me wonder about how American society has changed over the years. I'm assuming you're in the US. In some cultures in the world it's accepted and expected for an elder to treat a younger person as significantly lower or less than them. But those cultures tend to hold conservative values like US society did before like the 1970s. Boomers in the states were likely raised being disrespected and grew up with the expectation that it would be acceptable for them to do the same thing to the youngsters when they got older.

You shouldn't shame an old person for having to work still either. My grandparents busted their asses their whole lives and had to work until my granddad got dementia and my gram got cancer.

Another old show that I really love rn is Miami Vice, a show that has been so HORRIBLY warped by pop culture it makes it seem like the show was only about fast vehicles, hot women, and the cool dudes who bag them, BUT ITS SO MUCH MORE! It shows how the government/cop system is so terribly corrupt that even if there are good cops they end up corrupted, dead, or left in a bad mental state. They even have an episode, “Evan”, about how one of Sonny’s gay friends khs because of the discrimination against him in the workplace. There’s so much more to it then it being “flashy MTV cops”, and I’m disappointed to see old tv shows being used as examples of “non-woke” media, because that’s exactly what they WEREN’T… *sigh*… that got long. I could talk forever abt it tho…

Yes exactly like my aunt is always showing me clips of that show acting like I should laugh at the racist jokes like isn’t the show making fun of people who actually think like that?

@@mckaylamurphy5336 idk if you can see my OG reply because for some reason I can’t see it, but I just want to confirm that yes your aunt does NOT understand that show. The creator, Norman Lear was against bigotry of all kinds and he purposefully made that series to show how ridiculous bigots can be and that they need to move on from their old ways and change.

Exactly!! And yet my aunt and grandma and all these people try to use it to prove that everyone's ''too sensitive'' now or ''we could never get away with stuff like that anymore.'' Like, if you actually agree with what they're saying and think it's funny, then you're the people the show's making fun of. @@carliekween

Come on now, most people in this generation is well abled to say no

Too accurate

@@ph0enix321 And they are more than capable of being abusive assholes, they are just doing that crap on twitter, reddit or tumblr. Go to the fucking fanbase of some idiotic show and post something that goes against headcanons, you will be obliterated.

@@ph0enix321 Not true, a lot of people find it hard to say no

@@taylove1461 No

If anything, the need to constantly be "put together" back in the day was the advertisement..

Boomer men don't know the difference

Sorry but if you show even a bit of cleavage that tells boomer men that you are okay with their creepy sexual advances and you want it

@@noriakikakyoin1423 Don't blame others for your own sexual behaviours. That's a criminal's way of thinking.

@@cursedGalataea Read my post again and maybe you'll understand it

Figure out what abuse is before you open your mouth. Don’t beat people.

I’m autistic as well and this hits too close to home. My grandparents place was the worst because they thought I was being a brat, and so they’d punish me. But then I’d freak out and have a meltdown because it was overwhelming, thus more punishment, an endless cycle. Wasn’t fun, the worst is they STILL think I’m a brat.

@@MollieIsNotOkay thank you for reading me my own trauma

Wait, spanking doesn't cure neurological disorders? That's absolutely insane

@@firesd7306 ikr it shocked me

Thats sad

the perfect comeback

fr omfg

I fucking died lol

its kinda ironic because this generation is the most educated, if they can read on paper, why not a screen?

LOL

And then when they grew up with the rest of gen x they developed crippling psychological issues from being abused so seriously and may have even developed an addiction to try to self medicate and gotten into crime and still hasn't adjusted to society to this day! Haha yeah my uncle was cool

@@giannayoupel5575 And then when they started having kids, they released all their emotional trauma on them, and now THEY are the ones who have these “mental illnesses”. Maybe if they weren’t on their damn phones so much, joking about their depression and such, they’d be more sensible like the rest of us.

You like Bojack Horseman too I see

@@stereo999 real life like show

And if that didn’t work, we would disown them and act like they didn’t exist! Ahh these damn liberals actually care about their children’s mental health

Same reason they complain about young folks getting participation trophies, as if boomers didn't invent them to give out to their kids.

My boomer dad is on his phone and/or laptop CONSTANTLY and then gets so angry when my mum calls him out for not paying attention when we’re hanging out as a family.

@ yes. it’s not hyperbole at all. every single old person posts 500 times a day.

My dad wonders what I could possibly be doing internet for hours, yet he watches TV for just as long and doesn't see the irony

@ it’s true. every single boomer? 500+ posts without fail. they have to do it.

and it’s so weird cause my parents aren’t boomers, they were born in 1979 and 1980 and my dad would threaten to beat us with a belt and my mom would stop him...this kind of toxic thinking trickles down for generations but yeah boomers yOu gRew uP tOuGher cAuse oF It 🤔

Boomers these days aren’t so keen to science. The generation that witnessed the first moon landing now scoffs at science that proves the effectiveness of vaccines and how gender isn’t a binary.

my dad grew up getting beaten and the “with a belt” rhetoric makes him sick. he vowed never to put a hand on me because of what was done to him as a kid. neither he nor i can understand how anyone else who grew up getting wooden spoons cracked over their back or far worse could feel any other way

@@dazedneptune To be totally fair, a lot of those people are actually silent generation and not boomers. Also a lot of young people also scoff at the idea of gender not being binary.

@@FrenkTheJoy aren't silent generation like 90

No way, whenever you get thirsty you hop into someone's yard and turn on the hose and drink from there, hoping no one's home or that they can't hear the water being turned on and run out to see you drinking from their hose like a goblin bc then beat you with a switch and you can't do anything bc it's not polite and also what happens in the house stays in the house. that's how we did it in the good olden days, still got me a lump in my back from when I got thirsty and the hose owner was particularly mean old fellow.

Hahahahaha

Lmaoo🤣

mm, love drinking from a hose that has touched dirt and all sorts of bacteria. people who drink from water bottles are weaklings

@@whannabi kids these days just have no idea about tradition and real work, smh. back in my day we worked for what we had, if we wanted water, we just had to be willing to risk being beaten to within an inch of our life. there was no "cps" to intervene and say "that's inhumane and illegal! you nearly killed him!" social safety systems nowadays are making these spoiled kids too soft and accustomed to "decency." 🤢😔🙃

And then people like that wonder ''Why don't my children visit anymore''

@@mmaclipsuknow "Because this generation is raised to be disrespectful of the elderly! Wait, who raised them again?"

What that post was tryna tell us is that mental issues weren't taken seriously, how awful 🤦

@@florencembah2626 well people who killed themselves were called cowards

@@mmaclipsuknow Omg that's so disturbing, so they won't even take depression or anxiety seriously🤦
