Growing up in the 2000s fucked my brain hard. The sexism, homophobia and racism coupled with the free-range parenting that was simultaneously neglectful while gaslighting everyone into thinking that it was too coddling, and an internet that simply did not give a fuck who it traumatized. All topped off with a resurgence of Western jingoism from the “war in terror”.

The only good thing about that period was some of the videogames were okay I guess but only if you avoid ANYTHING remotely military flavoured. A lot of shit outside of Nintendo was afraid of colour and everything was that washed out brown. Just a miserable time. Everyone was so uncreative and the world had some fucked up Southpark brainworms.

    Cringe culture (aka trans/homo/acephobia & ableism galore), South Park humour, everything becoming a COD clone, half of the media being arab/russian killing simulations, neoliberal realism and people still thinking capitalism works.

    Yeah the late 2000-2010s sucked.
