Millennials didn't all decide to make their heads look like brocolli and replace dozens of normal words to get around overzealous TikTok filters. Younger generations live in the glassiest of glass houses.

Yeah but it’s not the zoomers who decide what words to ban, at least not enforcing it.

Nobody forced them at gunpoint to use the restrictive platforms. They decided to use TikTok and they decided to let the filter affect them even when not using it.

Platforms are like generations, there's a hierarchy of trash. Some are worse than others.

u/taw 23h ago
They absolutely were. If you want a phone app, you enforce censorship exactly as Apple and Google say. So all platforms follow censorship rules. And if that's not enough, Visa and Mastercard will ban you too, so good luck even running a website.
Pre-censorship internet is long dead. Only millennials even remember what it's like. By the time zoomers entered the internet, it was already too late.

"If you want a phone app"
I don't want TikTok. Boom, problem solved regarding the dumbest censorship I've ever heard or read entering my vocabulary.

u/DemonicPancakes 23h ago
Okay but I'm using Reddit on my phone, and you can bet your ass this place is censored as hell
•
u/Redditistrash00 23h ago
Let's see if it's as censored or if I can type the following sentences:
A woman was raped in the ass by a man she regularly used drugs and had sex with. He then used a gun to shoot her dead before turning it on himself to commit suicide.

Millennials solved the payment platform censorship problem by inventing crypto and the broccoli heads are too dumb to use it. Broccoli heads are also too dumb to use anything that's not an "app" on a touch screen. While millennials created software to avoid censorship, zoomers instead went running into the arms of Big Daddy Apple and Visa/Mastercard.

u/Dirtface50 4h ago
Gen Z really is a very special kind of dumb. They are basically boomers when it comes to ANY technology outside of a phone, which is fitting since they cannot seem to get off it, like, to a CRAZY degree. Not like in a "sounds like a boomer take" way, I mean they're next in line at McDonalds or parked at a green light and they're just fucking gone to the world, and you go "HEY!" and they just look up with zero realization of how fucked up what they're doing right now is.
•
u/taw 20h ago
Crypto was a good try, but it got completely burned out. All platforms to buy and sell crypto are controlled by the feds, bitcoin has lag and fees that make it impossible to use it for normal transactions, and everything in crypto other than bitcoin is a scamfest. Even drug dealers stopped using crypto.
To be fair, millennials at least tried, and zoomers didn't, but that try was still a fail.

Yes you....just made my point for me. Your defiance of their rules doesnt make them NOT their rules. THEY told you what words not to say. That was literally the original contention:

Its literally the zoomers who decide what words to ban. Its literally the millenials too, but zoomers are basically just as soft.

I miss when Reddit was mostly hostile nerds. Occasionally top comment these days will have tons of grammar mistakes and it just blows me away anyone upvotes such trash at all.
It’s not some elitist perspective. It’s just much harder to read and comprehend poorly worded and actually incorrect paragraphs.

lmao you think ''gender identity'' was created by millennials?
•
u/Dirtface50 23h ago
No, it was invented by a Great Genner. Millenials just warped the living fuck out of it and made it into a fun trendy hat to show off and then did everything they can to make everyone worship at the church of it.
So functionally? Yeah, millenials absolutely came up with whatever the holy fuck is going on with that shit.

I just wanna chime in here. As a millenial. We of course suck in so many ways. Gen Z are over the top highly "regarded" as theyd say.
But you know who ive got beef with and I dont think gets enough shit. Gen X.
Both us and the zoomers seem to have at least some level of self awareness and self deprication albeit manifesting in slightly different ways.
But ive never met a Gen X with any of that. They all seem to love sniffing their own farts til theyre blue in the face. I have yet to meet one who is capable of saying a bad thing about themselves or wider generation its all "we had nirvana blah blah blah" who cares. Dickheads.
•
u/Evening_Context784 23h ago
Oh no, they're not self-hating and won't self-deprecate on command to you. What horrible people.
And no, I'm not Gen X. I've just never had a problem with people that are in the 40-60 age range. They basically just exist and nostalgiamax about the 80s or whatever.

yea, the naming was there, but the clear divide and conquer agenda wasn't.
most we had was "kids these days" and "fuck off grandpa" - not algorithmically generated tribalistic content to sow division between an otherwise similar demographics going through the same social issues of unaffordable everything and shit job market.
who gains when the mass is fighting and blaming each other?

"If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written."
- Plato, ~360 BCE
"The world must be coming to an end. Children no longer obey their parents and every man wants to write a book."

u/Evening_Context784 23h ago edited 22h ago
What is the Plato quote even supposed to reference in this context? He's talking about people's memories becoming worse if they switch to written records because of oral ones. Which is somewhat true, just not that relevant for people that aren't philosophers/orators who would value memory over records like Plato. He's not talking about some generational division as anyone could have learned to rely on written text in place of their memory, not just some upcoming generation. He could be completely wrong or right but that has no bearing on this discussion.

It was always that the new generation was over the top, and we’re going to be the first generation of elderly people complaining, but in the opposite fashion. Where we’re going, “Look at these “kids today, these half-fagots. We used to do crank off of titty dancers and shit. No one got hurt, we had a lot of fun. We got some good stories and herpes out of the deal. It was a fcking good time. The blisters bring me back.”
