I am not criticizing them, I’m just out of the loop.

    Gays are to Boomers as Trans is to Gen-X ers. I’ve been wondering what the marginalized group Millennials are going to have trouble with. My current guess is Poly, but that is just a guess at this point.

      Groups I have trouble with as a millennial:

      • Fascists and neo-nazis
      • Groups which manufacture outrage that marginalize others (This can sometimes be focused/hidden inside of “_____ rights” groups, ironically)
      • Anti-intellectuals
      • Fringe extremists both on the left & right. They wrap around and are more like each other than they are to their “side”

      One thing I don’t understand is certain types of slang but I understand that’s more a result of not being exposed to it regularly then anything else.

      Ofc I don’t understand people that identify as a dog, or a snake, or a duck. But they are free to do them, as long as they don’t try and force that on me (ie. Inconveniencing others/trying to be the main character by being unprofessional in the work place, or making life harder for services/people that don’t cater specifically to them…etc). I think that applies generally to anyone, but you seem to have to walk on eggshells if the person who is being a dick is of some other nature, as if that excuses the behavior.

      While writing this I had an epiphany. My biggest gripes are harmless groups who are viewed as fragile, who are able to get away with behavior/actions that others cannot because others don’t want to be viewed as _____Phobic and lynched. Empowering some of them to, generally, be assholes. That’s what I can’t stand.

      Millennial here, no hate towards poly-folk. Seems exhausting, but do you boo.

      I expect it will be something AI related, like wanting them to have rights or whatever as they approach mimicking human behavior and appearing being alive (see, did it there). Likely because of a decade or so of us being economically threatened, and not viewing them as things that can think/'feel/not-want-to-die or whatever.

        No fucking way will I ever support AI having rights. It’s game over then, just hand all the power to corpos.

      I’m a millennial, and the only people I have a beef with are the “Bar Nazis”, you know, the kind of people who are outright fascists, but they try to hide it because they think that they can convert you.

          You’re allowed to say this here without catching a “Advocating for Violence!” message from staff?

          Dang, it really was time to leave Reddit (Seriously they sent me a warning for agreeing with a guy who said he wanted to punch Nazis… They’re… NAZIS! It’s okay to hate Nazis, they literally hate literally everyone else!)
