I know calling things performative can be overdone at times but like in this case (and many other big-business cases too), when the situation cools off, they always go back to what they were doing before. But hey, they moved the 2021 ASG so they care, right?

I’d count 2011 if Marchand wasn’t the only one left, that was Chara’s era and team so we’re long past that

Zac Jones has gone blind after rolling his eyes so hard upon hearing this trade news

yeah real af, I would like to acquire boatloads of money so I could dispel that notion thank you very much

these kids (not really kids as they’re mostly 18-24 by now) think it’s funny to be openly racist or homophobic (among other things) on the Internet for cool points or whatever

shit is sad and I know the stereotypical “2010s liberal” kinda was an annoying person but cmon grow up

I was in college from 2013-17 so I remember this time quite well and how I was able to grow and adapt over time as I entered adulthood to realize that all these movements were good and cool and that being a dick to people for no reason isn’t a good thing

they rebelled against the typical 2010s zeitgeist that I’m finding hard to articulate but it’s like they thought Portlandia characters were actually real people and wanted to defy all that “ultra wokeness” they saw as children and now in turn have become raging racists and horrible people

naturally kids are prone to thinking the generation above them is lame, uncool, etc.

peak 2010s media was chock full of LGBT messaging and inclusivity initiatives and the decade also featured the rightful phasing out of once-common slurs (f slur and r word most notably)

It’s giving Doolittle

another successful year of Bills hating thank you Chiefs for your service
