   Summertime for Zeon (washedoutgundampilot@poa.st)'s status on Saturday, 11-Nov-2023 01:50:08 JST Summertime for Zeon
   I will delineate a new boomer archetype for you all, after having a few of these conversations with the over-50 crowd (*spiritual boomers can be any age, mind you*)
   
   Maybe I'll call him the "Movie Boomer", or the "TV Boomer", but they share these traits:
   
   - They LOVE watching tv and movies with most of their spare time. They like doing so just a little more than sports
   
   - They began picking up on the increasing faggotry of mainstream media years ago, but doggedly continue to watch everything without stopping
   
   - As quality has slid, they have fallen into a pattern of watching meta-media ABOUT the zogslop stuff that keeps coming out, spending just as much time watching videos about how unpopular/woke marvel movies are than they did watching the actual movies
   
   - They LOVE these mainstream, algo-approved channels because "THEY TELL IT LIKE IT IS", without realizing it's just 2014-era wokeness and progressivism with a light veneer of "quality media"
   
   - They will probably never realize the silliness of the griftosphere's comic books, coffee sales, or kickstarters being just as low quality as mainstream zogslop brands.
   
   -As long as it markets itself as anti-woke they embrace it wholeheartedly, no matter how progressive it really is
   
   - Their stances on sane, normal limits on degeneracy and debauchery have largely melted away unnoticed. TV Boomer will tel you "I don't LIKE gay marriage, but whatever they wanna do in private is...." or "well good on them if the gays wanna adopt and have a traditional family"

     @RaHoWaJoe @WashedOutGundamPilot @eee Boomers were literally raised by the TV. It's a form of Stockholm Syndrome.

     @eee This guy in particular is hliarious because he owned and operated a comic shop in san francisco, and it only JUST got “too woke” for him in 2020

     He was chill with everything up to that point, and he’s supposed to be based. Uh….huh

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @eee It has to be some sort of brain rot or dopamine haze.
     
     Example
     My dad is addicted to TV.
     Small list
     Anything Dick Wolf makes
     NBC and local news
     Maine Cabin Masters
     True Crime Drama
     Paranormal shows
     
     He can be reasoned with as long as he has not been near a TV within 40 minutes or so.
     He'll complain about the trannies in stuff and AIDS meds commercials, but his opinion of all of that flips as soon as Jerry Orbach or Lester Holt start talking.
     
     There is no way that is natural, and it's in a lot of boomers in some shape or form.
