      The difference is that they fought to fix their problems, they just didn't know about many of them. Millennials know enough to determine the correct outcome and then put in the effort to screw it up because they don't care. This is the generation that supported a president based on their gender, after all.

      @Queer_Nerd_For_Human_Justice 7 років тому

      We didn't invent either one of those things bub. If you think tumblr is THE SOURCE for shitty discourse and idiocy, then you're deep in the political shithole, because shit like reddit and 4chan get even more disgusting and logically bankrupt, but remain under the radar because the political beliefs are establishment. Tumblr has GOOD AND BAD DISCOURSE, and a lot of good things have come out of it. Extracting the gold from the shit is something you have to do in all places on the internet. It's not new or unique. All tumblr bashing is a mix of cherry picking and pro-bigotry political bias. Plain and simple. Unless you're complaining about the website's programming. In which case everyone agrees.
      Also, I don't give a shit what "wave" it is, feminism is important. People often specify "third wave" or """feminazi""" when they want to bash feminism in general without seeming sexist. Truth be told, I haven't seen a single damn person condemn "third wave" feminism and then also support feminism in general.
      Basically, if it's up to millennials to attack bigotry, so be it. If all forms of anti-bigotry, good or bad, are attributed to us, well, shit, I guess that's something we're just going to have to deal with. But if you attack millennials for being anti-bigot, then fuck you, fuck the horse you rode in on, and fuck your grandma. And you can write that on my grave.

    It should be noted that it got canceled for exactly the reasons you expect that it would. Literally no one wanted to watch 40 year-olds bitch and moan about people half their age. I do feel bad for Joel McHale though. He was hilarious when he hosted The Soup. Not sure why he wasted his talent on that garbage pile of a show.

      "Fan outcry has saved one show already this year. Let's all get on Twitter and let CBS see how bad we want to keep this show alive. Tweet using #SaveTheGreatIndoors - come on guys, we can do it!"
      it's been almost a month, went to twitter and searched up the hashtag and only 60 tweet came up (found a pattern that almost everyone tweeted the hastag 2 times). so basically 30 people tried to rustle CBS's feathers but gave up last week.

      "Millennials" technically includes anyone born from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s/early 2000s (demographers and researchers can't really agree on a proper ending date), so yes, Griffin and Nick are technically millennials.

    • @ItsJustMilkISwear
      @ItsJustMilkISwear 7 років тому

      bravetherainbow people dislike millennials because our generation is primarily over dramatic and self entitled. we earned the nickname generation me from our lack of social responsibility. we created modern feminism and social justice, and made everyone hate it so much that outright racism has become more socially acceptable than it was during generation x. not that it would matter, because millennials have made it so you're a racist no matter what you do or say. a vast majority of millennials are anti free speech, because if other people were allowed to say mean things to them they wouldn't be generation me. they're progressive towards regressive ideologies and if it wasn't for their recent surge in unpopularity they could have done serious damage to the worlds morality by creating an authoritarian thought control nightmare right out of a science fiction movie. so we did plenty, and the hate for our generation is justified.
      obviously there are millennials that aren't like that, since i am a millennial too. but it's clear that they are the majority, and when you are talking about a generation it is the majority that you are referring to. billions of people are never all going to be the same but there will be similarities within individual generations because they all grew up around the same time.
