I understand your nostalgia for a time when certain norms were less contested. It's interesting to reflect on how societal expectations have evolved over the years. Regarding heteronormativity, I believe that the term simply describes a cultural norm where heterosexuality is seen as the default. It doesn't necessarily mean that other orientations are wrong or undesirable. It's great that you can look back at your childhood media with a new perspective. So valuable to appreciate how media has shaped our views. Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)
Looking to the past fills me with nostalgia and looking to the future gives me hope, but we can't benefit today from tomorrow's mistakes. It's nice to imagine there's better times ahead, but I wish the road to get to them wasn't so costly.
We tend to pine for what is comfortable to us. It's as simple as we are lazy, and don't want to find new things to enjoy. Me I fight my laziness as much as possible, and want to experience new things badly. It might be because I was never really comfortable. The 70-90s was about a fake veneer, the 2000's have been about ripping it off. The future is promising, if only we can remember we're all humans first, and that means we have similarities and differences simultaneously.
@@kizzume i doubt there can be any guarantees, for either side. but any chance of proper oversight begins with serious consideration rather than immediate dismissal of the past.
90's to me was my childhood, and it was fantastic: excellent movies, music, tv shows, cartoons, toys and computers. Period of freedom, before people got hit in the head and started this whole "I don't like this content because it offends me".
"Before boys were told they were girls if they liked playing with dolls" Hi, someone who grew up in the 90s here. They were in fact told this. Quite often. In a very mean and bullying way. I think the problem with clinging to the "past" isn't always everyone's view of what makes it good is different, everyone's experiences of what happened in the past are much different and wildly vast that there is no one "past to cling to" Some people just want a past where they felt powerful, quit often at the expense of others. While others want some ideal that is always talked about but never really existed; rose tinted glasses as it were. Others want a past where they felt safe, but even if we manually rewound the person back to that time with the knowledge they have now, there would be no ignoring the new things you have seen. The best thing to do is to both make the present better and at least have a goal for the future, in my opinion.
I'm not happy with the way globalism is headed, but the baggage and policies that comes with the alternative, as well as that alternative wanting to essentially take us back in time, makes me choose Harris.
How far into the future? A new study came out recently which revived projected temperature rises, and 5 degrees F sometime within the next 100 years cannot be avoided... it is baked into the system. That means our world's life support systems along with civilization will collapse and push humanity to the edge of extinction. Getting there from here will be a total shitshow. As much of an entertaining distraction as all this is, as I've said before many times it is nothing more than rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. It doesn't matter what gender someone feels comfortable being or which candidate Jesus tells us to vote for if we don't collectively figure this out and take immediate effective action.
@@kizzume Yup, it's locked in. At the very minimum we can prepare for impact. For myself the issues of the day just don't seem all that important in context. Peace.
@@deepashtray5605 If it's locked in, why worry about it SO MUCH? It's not going to be in our lifetimes, it'll probably be more than 100 years from now.
@@kizzume I knew two women who ignored a sizable lump in their breast and did not take action early enough to catch it. They each took a while to die and suffered terribly in the process. It's like that. But you're right, no need to worry. I'll stop bringing it up on your channel.
@@deepashtray5605 You just admitted earlier that no matter what we do, it's locked in. Comparing it to people dying of breast cancer is absurd. I have no idea what your motive is.
Ahhh the 90s…. the happy times, the silly era. I miss it!
I was born in 1984, it was a good childhood and adolescence without the internet and mobile phones that are basically PADDs out of *_Star Trek TNG._*

1:30. This is a truth I often fail to remind myself of. Cheers, good sir.

People cling to the past because of nostalgia, and are fearful of the future, because the future is unknown.
Affirmative.
accurate ideas of tha past are far better than false ideas of the future.
Yes, but how do we guarantee accuracy?
@@kizzume i doubt there can be any guarantees, for either side. but any chance of proper oversight begins with serious consideration rather than immediate dismissal of the past.
Keep in mind that all of those "accurate ideas of the past" began as ideas of the future.
@@deepashtray5605 indeed.
lol, when I was a kid a boy playing with dolls did get called a girl!
It was more of a tease than an actual declaration.
THE PAST THE LEON ERA OR LUCY ELONA DEO ERA WITH TRUMP.
This isn't about the subject but i really love that corderoy jacket.
1990s... wouldn't that be great.
Indeed!
@@kizzumeMaybe we're just two old farts that remember it as the good old days as we were younger then.

Well said.
All valid points you make.
If you're happy with the way globalism is headed, it makes sense to vote for Harris.

@@kizzume The "progressive" future seems a bit too dystopian to me. Does Kamala even believe in the USA?!

Yes, but there's not much we can do about that temperature change. Even if the whole world went with a green new deal, it wouldn't change much.
