    It seemed like society was slowly but surely moving forward overall then 2016 happened and everything went to shit. Just like everyone paying even a tiny amount of attention knew it would. Fuck this is sad.

        For me it started in 2001. The 90s were pretty rad.

          The 90s were the peak of our society (thus far). We could have been a little less homophobic, but besides that, things were pretty great.

            Yeah I mean a small part of me even misses calling things “gay”. Not because they’re actually gay or because homophobes think it’s a bad thing thus an insult, but because it described something in a way that no other term has since. You didn’t casually call something gay because it was queer, you called it gay because it was a kind of lame, goody two-shoes thing. I don’t think we should bring back calling things gay, but I do miss having a word to describe that sentiment.

          It started with Nixon but Reagan had the eighties. Rad in a bad way.
