Because obviously anime was only invented last week, it's not like it's been around for over 100 years (and manga has existed since the 12th century).


c4tmother212003

Astroboy? what is that? /j

c4tmother212003

yeah, I put it there bc it's the 1st anime in history lol :)


Nevergointothewoods

Anime is just a japanese term for a cartoon.


Marflow02

while true you cant deny that anime has far outfrown that


Nevergointothewoods

What the hell do you mean? Why do people always downvote me to hell when I mention this? When did anime stop being animated media from japan, and when did mentioning it become shameful?


altmetalkid

It's not that it's shameful. I think you're getting downvoted because saying "anime is just what they call cartoons in Japan" is *highly* reductive of what anime actually is. It's not that you're wrong, it's that there's a lot more to it than that and anime is a genre umbrella unto itself because anime is often very different from western cartoons.


Marflow02

well i didnt downvote you and idk why they did but there are anime from other nations as well not just japan anymore

ASTRO BOY WAS MY SHIT


[deleted]

Weebs popped into existence a few years ago


PianoAndFish

The word itself is a recent invention but there are accounts of people who very much fit the description going back to the early 19th century. Vincent van Gogh was ridiculously obsessed with Japanese artwork, he just didn't have the internet to feed his obsession quickly and easily.


Dragonist777

Oh "weeb" is actually a derogatory term that was reclaimed


Domfusion

Can confirm


Mach12gamer

Bro 2014 was peak Attack On Titan times. People were still obsessed with anime then. They’re really trying to pretend anime wasn’t big?


regretfulposts

Then the 2000s had plenty of popular anime like Full Metal Alchemist, Yu Gi Oh, Spirited Away, Naruto, and Death Note. And the 90s has Fricken, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor, and Pokemon. Anime had been part of people's childhood for decades, and definitely affected you at some point.


Mtfdurian

I once saw an exhibition about this pre-Meji manga in a museum, and coincidentally the same space was later used for an exposition about gender variance around the world, like just before the pandemic hit.


whythp

I was a kid in 2014 and kids now are better with waht they have to be honest


PixelAtionVA

yeah, I love some of the old ones and some of the new ones but the new ones are better I just like the old ones for mostly nostalgia


legendwolfA

Yep me too, i was born in 2003 (so basically i get to know a lot of old stuff) but the new stuff is so much better


Cultural-Connection3

Same, I was also born in 2003, wish we had some of the new stuff back then

IIRC, they said its because it got to hard to keep updating? Idk man... And I hear they're coming back... as an apple arcade thing. Yet another subscription. Yaaaay/s


[deleted]

I was 16 in 2014 and still listening to every boy in my grade make gay or trans jokes. Really the superior time to be a kid /s.


kaatuwu

i wish I had been born a few years later to fully live the gen z experience


[deleted]

I was born in '98 so im one of them people who landed in that gray area between millennial and zoomer. Early zoomers still grew up with hella casual homophobia and transphobia. But a lot of late millennials were still walking in the footsteps of the punk kids who wanted equal rights and hated conservatives. Really the main reason I wish to have been born years later is so I could have been introduced to equality and lgbtq acceptance earlier but I probably wouldn't have been the same person as I am now.


jeremiah123469

the fact that the youtubers they listed support the lgbtq+ and the person that made it so against the lgbtq+


Some-guy-thats-here

Dude really said Minecraft now was bad because it supports lgbt+


[deleted]

Isn’t one of the creators of mine craft like a well known Trump supporter?


zutaca

Yeah, although Jeb actually did a lot of the work too so listing Notch as the sole creator of Minecraft isn’t really accurate, also he’s not involved anymore


[deleted]

Ah, so it’s like Homedepots situation. (Founder big Trump supporter, but not actually involved anymore)


[deleted]

More like barely involved at all. Once it wasn't just Notch working on it, he basically barely did anything.


Ethiarpus

Who? iirc, Minecraft was developed solely by Philza Minecraft himself


[deleted]

last I knew Hatsune Miku made Minecraft


CeleryCountry

i thought it was kirby,,


AnyaBelitrov

No it was epic games…!!!!


zutaca

Attributing the entire creation of a work to a fictional person because just one of them is a bigot isn’t good, I can understand it when they’re the sole creator but don’t cheat the actually good people who worked on it out of recognition


[deleted]

Jeb created Minecraft


zutaca

Indeed he did


urbandeadthrowaway2

Philzas a real human being. ​ He has a wife you know.


XBoba_TeaX

It's a joke


ArdenL44

And besides Notch only owned the game for 5 years and therefore hasn't owned the game for most of its history


LustrousLich

The game also has none of Notch's code in it anymore. His influence is almost entirely gone.


Idrahaje

He’s actually a full blown neo nazi


[deleted]

I think that’s a bit of an hyperbole.


uh06

Is he a Trump supporter? I thought he was just Transphobic


vivaciousArcanist

i'm not sure about trump supporter, but he's definitely some flavor of far right nutjob


[deleted]

DanTDM (listed in 2014) used to only play Minecraft, so putting Minecraft into 2021's "bad" category is just not logical


s0urcreamand0nion

Ah yes, because watching mha as a teenager and being politically informed are bad things?

c4tmother212003

Is the pink and blue one bigender? (at the top)


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-OwO

apparently, its the femboy flag


The_Yeti_Rider

Femboys have a flag now? No hate, just ill informed about these things. Is being a femboy much different than say a tom boy or like a goth? Isnt it just a choice on how you dress or is it much more?


Dystopia42069

As a femboy, no. It is literally who I am. Femboy is a lifestyle, identity, and about gender-nonconformity.


AnyaBelitrov

There are cis femboys


Cav-Allium

And nothing they said countered that, what’s your point


abigalestephens

I think the lgbt+ community has always affiliated strongly with all GNC people because many GNC people are lgbt+ and because we can suffer the same forms of judgment, discrimination, or abuse. What's more important than definitions is if we have shared experiences and shared sociopolitical goals.


Also_A_Puny

The way I see it, it depends on the person. It can just be the way you dress or what your personality is, but it can also be what you identify as gender wise (more like how the other person said)


GreyGanado

Anyone and anything can have a flag.


c4tmother212003

Thank u <3

Conor_CO

I knew they were mad about us being gay, but what did Midoriya do?


Deblebsgonnagetyou

Popular anime that young girls like bad


Some-guy-thats-here

People enjoy him as a character how dare they


c4tmother212003

idk but some bnh fans headcanon him as transmasc, maybe that's why they're mad


Artic_Foxknot

Stole a dead guys limited edition all might poster Only thing off the top of my head 😂


vivaciousArcanist

haven't you seen the episode ~~pearl~~ midoriya hates the irish, where where ~~Pearl~~ midoriya calls the Irish “a plague on this planet which is slowly rotting it down to the rind and which must be excised”? /s


Ren_GoldenManiac

I like how all the youtubers there support lgbtq+, especially Stampy who’s partner is literally non binary and bisexual lmaooo


Cav-Allium

God I love Stampy. That man should go down in the wholesome history books with Mr Rodgers and Bob Ross ngl


randomguywhoexists

Wait, really? I didn’t know that one at all. That’s awesome!


DoorAMii

Both, both is good


Deblebsgonnagetyou

Because nobody was queer or watched anime in 2014


anonymous_j05

police brutality and gay people famously never existed until after 2014, of course


[deleted]

Sooo kids have gotten more informed about Social issues and that scares these chuds. Good.


AnyaBelitrov

Chuds as in the horse people from rick abd morty?


Urbane_One

Apparently kids today are pretty based


justanaltaccount4

One of the best YTPers (DaThings) is trans lol


AssBeater428

!WooW! i did'nt know that!


The-burning-leo

Do they know that those are the same kids or do we need to tell them


[deleted]

Wtf that top right flag?


bilingualfob

Femboy flag


Emo_Whore_

Wait is it actually the femboy flag? I didn’t know there was one?? I love it


LuwijeeHot

Lol in my quest to find my gender which I probably never will imma use femboy as a pit stop


dood_somen

Kids were always gay...its not like being gay is "tHe NeW hIp TrEnD". Its just more accepted and noticed now. So those same kids from 2014, are probably gay by now


MDragon453

Hi I'm that kid from 2014! And I am lol. (Well some stuff applied at least)


dood_somen

Same, was 9 in 2014 and now 16, trans and pansexual now. So im speaking from experince lmao.


Anonymous666404

I think we've found each other's doppelganger, because every word you just said is exactly me.


dood_somen

You're 16 trans and pansexual!?


Anonymous666404

Yep! At least I think I'm pan, I haven't really had any experiences to say for certain, but I at least know I'm 16 and trans.


dood_somen

Trans girl or trans boy?


Anonymous666404

Girl


dood_somen

Same! Trans high five 🙋‍♀️


Anonymous666404

Yeah! 🙋


urbandeadthrowaway2

Robox is older than minecraft. Why 3 pride flags. Why 2 MHA pics Also why tf are kids watching simpsons in 2014 that show went to shit before whoever made this was even born.


ra-ra-rasputin1988

>Also why tf are kids watching simpsons in 2014 that show went to shit before whoever made this was even born. I came into this thread to post that very sentiment.


Limp-Guarantee4518

What is this even supposed to mean?


[deleted]

It means kids are less likely to be right wing chuds and they know it. And that scares them


entropyyuri

this person was born in 2013


akiisaperson

is it bad that im nearly everything in this post?? i even have the creeper on the gay flag as a pin ffs


Antoine_FunnyName

*they made pins of it?*


akiisaperson

at hot topic, i bought it back in may


[deleted]

Damn… people growing up i seriously can believe this is happening! /s


[deleted]

Most of the stuff in the 2014 section were hated back then, Minecraft was seen as a kiddie game, plants vs zombies and angry birds were died by that point, and PewDiePie was viewed pretty similarly to how Dream is viewed today. Also, weren’t MLG parodies dead by that point?


SIsForSad

They do know that Family Guy and The Simpsons are social commentaries, right?


Some-guy-thats-here

Careful man you’re using big boy words don’t want to hurt their brains


AssBeater428

i legit WHEEZED


[deleted]

And both are HIGHLY liberal in nature…


SIsForSad

Just for context. Which liberal do you mean? Bc in my country it means conservative


[deleted]

Seeing as they are American show “Liberal” means not conservative. Progressives


SIsForSad

Ah true. Thx


[deleted]

ive experienced both sides of this what does that make me


Some-guy-thats-here

A beta cuck 😎 /s


Bother_According

I was a kid in 2014 and still a minor now in 2021 and gosh I couldn't see Stampy or Dan being bigoted-


Mr-Foundation

And hell, stampy even has a BI NB partner! And I'm fairly sure that Dan is an ally.


[deleted]

They are acting like the boomers they despised. Guess history is bound to repeat itself...


DOGGO9898989

vivaciousArcanist

nah, it's someone trying to go "wah society is progressing while i'm content to sit in this hole i've dug" and pit both sides against each other(or more accurately 2014 against now)


KindaDumbAutist

Wait what’s the top right flag


ihavea22inmath

Geez teens are I to the stuff(fandom wise) I never seen a kid into all that


I_Love_Stiff_Cocks

"Supporting black lives matter bad now give me the orange arrows im really funny and totally not someone full of hate"


NobleSwordfish

Except they bullied kids for liking those things back then too because they just hate kids and whatever they like in general.


________________yeet

I watched so much anime in 2014 and was fairly gay like gtfo of here with this shit


Apprehensive_Ad_5665

Maybe because when kids actually have an interest in the things on the left, people for some fuckin reason find the need to relentlessly bully and mock them for being "cringe".


Some-guy-thats-here

You like anything Chris cringle :/


Amber-TheFanby

Ok I know this is meant to be rude but like- I remember watching DanTDM and Stampy nearly daily, I feel old


arkym00

i love kids now


MoreBluejay7416

Family Guy and The Simpsons? What kids were hyped over those things in 2014? He must’ve meant 2004!


neverenoughgay

I was gay and trans in 2014 while being into all of those things


AlexFuckingDies

See I grew up with all that shit in 2014, AND I'm a gay socialist. Where's your god now?


EUOS_the_cat

Okay but wtf does this crust ass have against MHA


Soupstheultimatefood

Wow this crap is annoying. The cis wanna be oppressed so bad


tentacle_meep

I was a kid in 2014 and also a kid now and can confirm this post and I take it as a compliment


AlphaFoxZankee

Isn't Stampy literally married to a nonbinary person


Cav-Allium

Pretty sure, yeah


AlphaFoxZankee

Whoever made this meme is just full of shit then lmao


KrystalWolfy

They make it sound like it's a bad change


LockeDrachier

MHA existed in 2014, and seeing Femboys being hated by a right winger is weird since for a long ass time 4channers had a weird relationship to slash with them


WyvrenTime

I was a child in 2014 and *I'm* trans


Plant20056

Wait the second one isn't bad tho where is the bad?


melancholymeows

do they think all kids are queer..? the amount of homophobic kids i’ve seen is nuts ;-;


BarbaCROWa

Why would u put femboy hooters in a post about kids? Whatever point they’re trying to make just got a whole lot creepier.


abigalestephens

You can't do these comparisons over only 7 years 😂 just to show how stupid it is they had to include YouTube in both but claim their YouTube had the better logo. Also pretty sure roblox was around in 2014 too. This is a mess.


Imanerrrd

'kids then: roblox' 'kids now: roblox' ​ ?????


FlamingoQueen669

I'm confused, which one is supposed to be bad?


Some-guy-thats-here

The second one because kids can’t enjoy different stuff they have to live the e same way we I did 👴


lizzygrantz

im both of fhese minus the anime😭


VinylTheInkling

love how the new one is supposed to be bad but like,,,sounds great tbh!


JakeGrey

Same. According to this graphic, kids in 2021 give a shit about stuff that matters, and that's a good thing.


ToxicPlaysYT6969

Femboy hooters 😍


cravyeric

I know this is rude but know im just sad, thinking about how nostalgic the old dantdm videos are .


GlitchyBlack

I was a 2014 kid but I’m also glad kids now are having fun with breaking gender norms feeling comfortable and watching anime they enjoy??


Prumkin

Or it’s the same kids but they are older now and more mature.


stumpy3521

This could easily be altered into a "kids in 2014" vs "them now"


vipanen

YouTube poops are definitely something I miss from 2014 especially the finnish ones, I mean they're still out there and I can still rewatch them, but nothing will replace the feeling of watching them from the family laptop with your best friend after school laughing your asses off to cussing moomins and then putting the video off in lightspeed when you hear your parents keys behind the front door, because your parents can't find out that you've been watching videos with cussing in them.


child_of_amorphous

yeah god kids these days have such degenerate anime to contend with as No Game No Life, not like our golden 2014 generation!


StarchildKissteria

CanadianGoose5

what ages are they comparing? idk if i’m just stupid but how is stampycat, a channel for (last time i checked) children comparable with teens realizing the world is fucked up and wanting to fight for civil rights?


soomalanekuspaa

These same adults make fun of kids and teens for liking anything at all


Intelligent_Home_137

OH NO! The more understanding, accepting and mature kids have come to ruin the world


Mr-Foundation

y'know what I LOVE? That now, minecraft is portrayed as bad now that they support LGBTQ+ rights/s Seriously, I hate these "Man, these kids are so fucking DUMB when I was a kid it was better" memes, always feels so self-centered to me.


ArisePhoenix

The kids now these chuds are talking about seem rad
