    How I Met Your Mother is so interesting to me because the best parts about it stem from the fact that it’s characters are all horrible people. Yet the writer’s clearly don’t realise this very obvious fact about their own show.

    Also, it wholly erased it’s own place in the culture by having an absolutely trash final season.

    It’s also deeply, libidinally, transphobic. Like, holy shit it’s so bad





  • Honestly, it just boils down to how the words “millennial” and “genZ” had their meanings negotiated and decided. The way we were defining Millennials in 2015 was different from how we define them in 2026.

    Generations are less about describing an easily definable age cohort, as people are being born every day. Rather, like you pointed out, they’re more about defining cultural experience.







  • Nonbinary person here, and yes nb people are trans. You’re transitioning from one gender to another.

    Trying to assert otherwise, and playing semantic word games, especially when we’re all being so heavily targeted right now, is reckless and stupid. Whether an individual non-binary person feels a strong connection of the word transgender is their business, but we should all be banding together and meeting the fucking moment. Not atomizing ourselves further
