And these are the ones scared of gender/LGBTQ politics... We know why now...

Is... is that the rep we have? I sort of thought that was boomers and just, well, bigots from every generation. Gen X was also sex positive feminism 3rd wave and the beginning of intersectionalism.

Guess it depends on where you live. I find a lot of people around me that are 45 and up and don't live in a more wealthy area are basically that way.

I saw a lot flip sides since 2020... From being open minded to closed. From repping Obama to repping trump and the coup.

It's really weird to be honest.

I've also seen a lot of self identified progressive Xers and boomers that need to be explicitly taught these things. One was a terf before he looked around as his fellow terfs. Another was oddly possessive of Bugs Bunny in drag when he found out that some consider that episode a pro-trans episode. A whole lot of them don't pick up on the anti environmental subtext in their comic book movies.
