Also Millenials’ and Gen Alpha’s. Once again Gen X doing all the heavy cultural lifting.

(Second edit: yeesh, I retract my statement! It was a post about a skateboarder having a long career, not a calculated attack on everyone under 45, put the pitchforks away already)

    Fuck me, all I said was there’s no culturally significant skateboarders coming up any more and you’re bringing a whole racism thing into it. Chill the fuck out dude

      > Accuses every generation after theirs of being useless

      > Gets pissy and defensive when their bad logic is pointed out

      No one called you racist, bud, but clutch those pearls.

          Yup, still are, ignoring the point of the comment in favor of the fomenting over the “ludicrous” context of their anecdote. “It’s just a joke” is also a poor, worn out excuse to discredit criticism.

      Nobody was calling you a racist but if it’s that upsetting that someone pointed out that your tactics are logic is similar that’s on you.

      Edit: tactics is unnecessarily accusatory and that wasn’t my intent and I don’t think it was the original commenters intent either. Changed “tactics” to “logic.”

        “your tactics” is still like, several notches above a sane take on what OP actually posted. This is not a remotely problematic post, at least not in the sense you guys are implying.

          You’re right, tactics is accusatory when it shouldn’t be. There’s no evidence of motive or intent. Let’s call it “your logic” instead.
