This dude is a conservative talking about how under-socialized men are today. I was a Gen-X kid during that time frame. Things were violent but weak kids didn’t regularly die and disappear. But IME it’s poser assholes like this, the pufferfish who aspired to be Fallout Raider Youth that made kids avoid socialization in favor of going online. People are under-socialized because dudes like this *tried *to cull the herd.
But bullies did cull the herd in another way. Male youth suicides skyrocketed from 1981 on up to 1998 according to ojp.gov (+51% vs +24% for females).
The whole unsolved mysteries thing rings a bit different when you grew up next to the green river in the early 90s 😉.
Green river?
UGH!!! Dudes like this test my opposition to the death penalty.
Or the BC interior in the 80’s.
How is this a meme?
OG was using ‘exaggeration’ as a method of humour.
OP ate the onion.
Sub-OP yes. Karma farmer or fuckwit.
It’s a joke. But to be more specific, it’s a stolen joke. Here’s a screenshot of the same joke posted on reddit July 25th 2021. I’m not going to bother finding out when that, presumably original, tweet was made, as it doesn’t really matter.
Am I missing something? This is an obvious joke.
You’re not but it sure seems like OP is.
I feel like this is pretty obviously an exaggeration.

This idiot needs a tree.
I think he’s just one of those wannabes that wants to sound tough. Seems he even recycled an old twitter meme from what someone else posted here. All red flags pointing to another yappy internet badass.
Rose-tinted glasses, I guess. Part of our socialization and bonding was via getting ‘kicked out’ by our grouchy dads and playing games at our less strict neighbors’ parents’ houses. Everyone on the block had a different system, so that made it more fun. Of course we never told our parents that. We still played outside. But video games were newish and magical at the time. There were always ways for us to escape through digital means, even back then.
Yeah we went outside because there wasn’t any other choice. Soon as we got another choice kids abandoned that culture almost entirely. Sure, video games and the internet are at fault, but nobody asks why kids turned to that so fast. My opinion? Socializing in person was more toxic than not. Bullies ruined everything, especially for boys.
I think we’ve gone off the rails a little about a hyperbolic post but I want to point out that bullying among girls was just as prevalent if not more so.
Sounds like Ken M

Why are people so prod of that? It’s not hard, it’s not an achievement, it’s just gross and unnecessary. I’m 40 and we just took the hose off to drink.
among us
So… Are we just piling onto that guy now or are we waiting for anything worth piling onto? Like… That tweet was a hyperbole and could actually even be read as meaning the opposite of “oi, look how cool bullying is”… Just saying
