The people smugly gloating that young people will just have to 'find something else to do' in response to the social media bans are usually the exact same people who seethe with anger and make reports about 'loitering' whenever they have to share public spaces with teenagers.
@BiscuitCollect1 I’ve heard this theory many times, and I have to say it’s complete nonsense. I have a more realistic explanation: zero competition. If ModRetro releases a high-quality GBA clone, Analogue will suddenly fix all the issues, just like they did with the A3D.
Still blows me away that millennials (my generation) grew up in a time where almost every social taboo had been extinguished and you could make jokes about literally anything (the 90s/2000s). And then the second they became adults, they immediately proceeded to built a system of even more rigorous “woke” social taboos and brought back public shaming for off color jokes.
