The last few days, I've had more interactions with Gen Z than the rest of my life combined. While I'm sure there's some general selection bias due to this specifically being a DR fandom, here are some general takeaways:
- As a whole, Gen Z is far more accepting of non-traditional gender, sexual orientation, and pronouns. Extremely accepting and progressive along this front.
- The Bane line "You adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it" applies, except for memes. They live and breathe them, in a way millenials do not.
- There is some general uncertainty and anxiety among the group. I'm not surprised; the world has been on constant goddamn fire as they've grown.
- They really, REALLY love the word "poggers".
- They really, REALLY love the word "poggers".
- They are, overwhelmingly, extremely kind, positive, and caring. The kids are all right <3
