“I make my own problems and troubles”

@theashleyray Do you remember which book? I am (unfortunately) interested in viewing the discourse lol

[a @_aauggie]

@theashleyray @connorlastmbo3 If this is about "The Plot Against Love", the author is not a sociologist. She's a writer for the Manhattan Institute. The pushback I saw focused on Gen Z women seemingly being given sole blame for all negative aspects of current relationship dynamics.

@StarsBurning_ I think this is a shallow interpretation of abuse. But to each their own.

[a @_aauggie]

@StarsBurning_ @rubbingmycl1t What is the difference between this and “nice guys finish last” talking points? It really sounds like incel logic.

@katrosenfield Rosa Parks was a trained activist but that particular moment was not planned. She said herself that she did not intend to get arrested.

Genuinely wondering where people are getting the “1%” stat. Seems like a completely unhelpful minimization.

[abby @lovesicknoon]

ok i get it. some of you do experience pain. i’m aware. you’re approximately 1% of the population. your concerns are valid but should not be used to scare off those that haven’t even tried to get the procedure done out of fear.

the cropped version of this image has been circulated so much that no one ever realizes she was joking and admitting that she is also self obsessed (the part that was cropped out was all the pictures she takes of herself)

Gen z the first generation to be “obsessed” with looks and wealth okay for sure and how do we know they didn’t learn it from Joseph Robinette and the never-ending facelift???? 🧐

[jasmine sun @jasminewsun]

like why is Gen Z so obsessed with looks? with wealth? with online virality/attention? these values were learned & inherited from the literal most powerful man in the world

@lovecrashdown !! Also key to me that her own relationship doesn’t work out due to fetishism. There are many fair critiques but some of them are already recognized in the film (as you said). I also don’t think that romance is or should be the focus.

I feel like stating that adopting a child is cheaper doesn’t really help if the intended goal here is to emphasize the humanity of children lol. It’s also very often not true.

[not a girl’s girl @yeadosi]

I’ve always wondered this. They’ll spend 5x the amount it would take to adopt on fertility treatments. TBH at that point I start wondering if your desire to have a kid is actually about the kid idk

[a @_aauggie]

The survey in this article includes children up to age 13. The oldest members of gen z are 28/29. Why aren’t millennial parents highlighted as well?

[Nick Kapur @nick_kapur]

Gen Z parents don't read to their kids anymore because "it's so boring."

Just 41% of parents now read to their kids, down from 64% in 2012.

Not only is this creating a future generation of illiterates, but will eventually collapse the market for books and bookstores.

@theashleyray Idk I’m really doubting that the person in that video is younger than 30 and I think it’s the same for most of the comments lol

[a @_aauggie]

Are we supposed to believe the ahistorical notion that millennials only care about “real” singers? Non-vocalist performers have been famous for decades. Centuries, even.

[Me @KirkWrites79]

This may be controversial but my friend said many younger people don’t like “real” singing because they aren’t attracted to things they can’t do themselves. Talk singing is popular because whether they can do it or not, they think they can do it and that’s appealing to them.

@helena_staff He will forever be the king!!

@holyh0ney @kebodrew @starsvhz @AuthorialGail No so fair about the beginning lol also obviously it’s your right to dislike it I was just like wait I remember this differently haha

[a @_aauggie]

@holyh0ney @kebodrew @starsvhz @AuthorialGail Aurelia too! the other love interests I recall are Bird and Eleanor (with Eleanor being the only white one). She also primarily settles in black communities. Sorry to go on I finished it recently so it’s at the front of my mind lol. Liked it but I totally get not feeling it!

[a @_aauggie]

@holyh0ney @starsvhz @AuthorialGail Wait aren’t most of her relationships with black people (and an indigenous woman)?

[a @_aauggie]

@j_husucks Say THAT

[a @_aauggie]

@j_husucks Hx
