    The breakdown by age group is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what I expected to see… makes no sense! Don’t blame GenX and Boomers for our future problems…

      It makes perfect sense if you’ve spent any time examining what’s being fed to people on YouTube and TikTok

        I’m a millennial trans woman who sometimes fucks cishet Gen Z men I feel that’s pretty much spot on in my observation

        There’s basically two generations of Gen Z: those who were adults pre-pandemic and take after millennials & those who were not.

        The ones who came of age in the pandemic have a lot more hangups about social interaction, have consumed a lot more misinformation, and generally have baggage about being criticized for their (admittedly shitty and ignorant) views they’ve clearly been fed by the algorithm and their friends

        These guys ARE NOT bad people but they caught serious brain rot during the pandemic and it’s gonna take time/empathy for them to fully recover. It does not help that there’s a certain type of moral superiority to millennial activism that they clearly are reacting to
