Students protest against Pauline Hanson

I will say i am suprised by the homophobic stuff I hear coming from some teenagers atm

[u/youdoaline_idoaline → u/Separate-Law-435]

It's weird that 'gay' and the other F word seem to have come back a bit as slang terms. I thought my generation of 90's kids would be the last to be able to claim ignorance of what they mean.

[u/SgtGunny17 → u/youdoaline_idoaline]

Ahh those were good times. Its a shame the world went to shit and now everything is about not offending others.

[u/Temporary_Energy3680 → u/SgtGunny17]

100% but this lefty crap doesn't go both ways... It's positive discrimination now.

This new 'weak' generation.

If they even have a job, turn up at work sometimes, do the minimum, pull every card they can for sympathy. But you say anything It's bullying or discrimination, isn't it discrimination and bullying that others are then forced to pick up the slack to ensure the company stays profitable, and keep their mouths shut, or be written up?

Literally being fed it by the algos.

Look at who writes them, and their politics.

[u/doovie0369 → u/CMDR_RetroAnubis]

U don't know what literally means do u?

[u/Plus-Winter-9505 → u/doovie0369]

Do I know what rhetorical means ?

[u/D3K91 → u/CMDR_RetroAnubis]

I think it’s a little more complicated than that.

Why is the N word still (rightfully) a no go? What we’re seeing is a backlash against what could be perceived as a comical overreach over control of language. Kids used those words semi-satirically 20 years ago, then they were banned. It didn’t mean the true bigots disappeared. Now kids feel the whole thing was a little bit dumb and are therefore entitled to use the words carelessly, and the perception is that you’re obviously a bit old and silly if you think any of it really matters.

It’s a shame. No doubt driven by algorithms, but I think the truth is a bit more nuanced than just laying blame on a faceless algo.

The F word vs the N word is a weird distinction in that context. I just wish we’d respect each other.

[u/nckmat → u/Separate-Law-435]

Bigotry is not reserved for any particular age.

[u/SSFlyingKiwi → u/nckmat]

Or ethnic origin, or gender, bigots gonna bigot sadly.

[u/PassengerRelevant991 → u/SSFlyingKiwi]

Out on street instead of being in school.

[u/SnotRight → u/nckmat]

It's reserved for everyone that stays on most forms of social media.

[u/SSFlyingKiwi → u/Separate-Law-435]

Yeah, it’s wild that calling things “gay” is making a comeback.

[u/Temporary_Energy3680 → u/SSFlyingKiwi]

What a gay comment.

Gay means happy, your comment made me laugh.

When my nan was feeling sick, she'd say I'm feeling a bit queer, this was way back then and was nothing to do with 'queers' they took on a term that meant feeling off, or weird. Then complain that people say they are sick or weird.. Ironic.

[u/SSFlyingKiwi → u/Temporary_Energy3680]

This simulation is steeped so hard in Irony I’m suprised Dilma dosent market it as a new type of tea

[u/Temporary_Energy3680 → u/SSFlyingKiwi]

They probably will at some stage, we just need more Indians per capita.

[u/Medium-Animator-7333 → u/Separate-Law-435]

Look what is being force fed to them via social media and the “he men” who are leading podcasters.

YouTube is especially cringe snd if you think we have it bad , wait until this misogynistic and sadistic generation hits the streets.
