Shamino 10/21/25 8:09:10 PM #58:	AsucaHayashi posted... no amount of "generational discourse" will ever convince me the type of brainrot that exists today also existed during earlier generations. Really? Brainrot started with Rock and Roll and TV in the 50s. Then in the 70's-90's TV was basically raising some kids. Then the internet raised kids in the 00' and '10s Now it's being terminally online. But don't forget, Cable Guy and Trueman Show were already, if darkly and humorously, warning us of this in the 90's.

Pikachuchupika 10/21/25 8:17:28 PM #59:	The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room.
