Another show with fruity British people puffing about

Why are they always twee and puffy, with British accents in these old age alternative fairy dimensions? Their voices sound like some crispy fiddle-faddle that might break like thin ice, any moment.

And I forget if I'm watching hobbits, or dragon mistresses, or...

Are you a boomer?

Ah, yes, the clarion call of every neckbeard moron who has no idea what a Baby Boomer is.

What's an "Argentinian" doing raving about "Boomers", anyway? The term, Baby Boomer, refers specifically to a group of Americans who were born after WW2. They were called "Baby Boomers" because they were the largest generations of Americans who were born in American history. Has nothing to do with what you idiot neckbeards on the internet twisted into. Nothing at all. It just means AMERICAN kids who were born right after WW2.

Has nothing to do with Argentina, either. Maybe this is why so many American GenZ and millennials are so stupid when it comes to their own cultural history. Too many foreigners appropriating American culture, regurgitating it on the web so that by the time Americans kids go on the web to learn about their history, they're getting a wrong impression from all the Argentinians, Brits, Australians, and other foreigners teaching it back to them.

Maybe Americans should start doing the same to Argentinians and other foreigners have been doing to us, taking these very specific, nuanced terms and twisting them around so that their kids are confused about their own cultural history.

tl;dr

[–] emo_ville2002 (387) 2 years ago

They are fairy tales, about some alternative fantasy dimension, fairy dimension... with elves and dwarves and shit. Yes, fairies. I don't think that's a generational term??

not in the context that you used it.

[–] emo_ville2002 (387) 2 years ago

Why are you telling me the context I used something? *I* said it, I know the context, and I just told you.
"alternative fairy dimensions" = the fantasy worlds, full of fairies, elves, wizards, troll etc that make up Lord of the Rings and such. I don't know how that could be more clear.

So many of these recent shows are ruined by their gormless soy-milk-and-tea foppery, I know exactly what you mean
