This is raising a generation of radicalized teens with institutionalized hatred against the older generation. Will end well


You think kids will grow up to hate their parents because they weren't able to consume brainrot? They'll turn 18, open Tiktok for the first time and think wow our parents have been keeping this treasure from us all our childhood? Do kids grow up to hate their parents because they aren't allowed to drink before turning 21? If it's a general ban for all kids, not just some that will then feel excluded from the rest of the group, I don't think they'll care the tiniest bit about not being allowed to access this crap before age 18.


Hatred/resentment, maybe.

What could be great is a revolutionary generation. But I don't see that happening. We've already been dumbed-down, and indoctrinated into a selfish and therefore neutered culture.


You mean YouTube (and social media in general)?

If so, you can expand it to hating those younger than themselves, hating the opposite gender, and hating each other


That was already the case.


More likely this will force them to be right wing as they get older. Young ppl arent digging left wing stuff as trends show many are shifting to conservatism.


That’s not universally true.

In Australia, young people skew significantly progressive, and young woman even more so.


it is is the dominating trend globally in OECD countries


It think you are right but also trying to shove an entire generation into a single box isnt the smartest idea we have. Yes, Nuance is needed.


I am in the 'post older generation'. It's the brainless commies in the middle that we all hate.
