getting in that car with you bc it's getting exhausting arguing with ppl with boomer mentalities (yes this was pejorative lol)
Replying to this specifically in a different response because this speak to me. I know "boomers" these days often relate to anyone who is not a "young activist" out of college. I mean 40 years old being called boomers for instance (when boomers are actually more in the 65-75 years old group or something like that) and its used as a derogatory term.
But you would be surprise how much peoples still have more "conservative views", especially in the USA. I know we are in Canada but lets just say a lot of peoples don't see us as the "happy rainbows lets hop together hands in hands" as you may think. Sean Strickland interviews for instance comes to mind. But even in Canada, look at the current polls and how peoples are fed up with Trudeau and how Poilievre victory is almost a sure thing in the next elections.
In video games there is 2 terms used mainly. DEI (Diversity Equity Inclusion) and "for modern audiences" and lately those games are crashing and burning. There is a consultant film call Sweet Baby Inc at the center of many controverse as of now and some peoples downright boycott any games they were a part of. The CEO of that group was also the head writer of a game call Unknown 9 Awakening and this game is currently a massive flop. Brand new release and only 250 peoples or so at peak on Steam.
Basically where im going at is that "modern views" are taking so much space these days that a big portion of the population is fed up with them and are rising up. And we are seeing a lot more peoples who normally would had been just more conservative in nature but didn't care for basic stuff now rise up and take a stance. They are tired of being forcefully fed up values they don't agree with.
Ill give you an exemple. I saw a video today where a cab driver called a customer "mam". And this was a women clearly looking like a woman. She started to throw a tantrum at him and on how "can he knew how she identified as" and other stuff like that. Even going as far as telling him "would you apreciate i call you mister" and the dude then reply "well normally peoples say Sir, but mister is fine" and she was almost confuse. Its like society has push the thing TOO FAR now.
I don't care if among friends somebody want to be call "sir, mam, doctor, master or whatever", like if your friends are ok with it then fine. But if im a clerk and i say "hello sir, can i help you" and then i get thrown a tantrum because that person "identify as whatever they call it" , thats pushing too far for me. Thats when i rise up and i say enough is enough...
Anyway. I know views are different from peoples to peoples and funny enough for some peoples im not conservative enough, and for others i am too conservative. lol. But the reality is this "activism" wich been pushed in campus in the latest years (i would say since maybe 2017-2018) is clearly not a true reflection of society and it is very echo chamber related in many cases.
Shaming will always be shameful!
