Whoa... comment section showing its age.
I assure you this is not intended for you.
Gen Z gamers on TikTok know exactly what this is.

Millennials are gamers too. We knew exactly what this was. It’s CRINGE. Who ever is telling them to do this and whoever decided to drop this after the news of Al Green being censured should be FIRED.

piefilling.bsky.social•30 days ago

The fighting game community notoriously has little patience for lame. I assure you they think that this is cringe AF 😂

dangerjane.bsky.social•30 days ago

I'm so not impressed

djprohaska.bsky.social•30 days ago

🤣 You're not supposed to be

dangerjane.bsky.social•30 days ago

Good, I got something right

uncommonsenseshow.bsky.social•30 days ago

You're not as hip to the kids as you think you are, David.

yasharali.bsky.social•30 days ago

David, Gen Z sees this as super, super cringe.

my-random-name.bsky.social•30 days ago

Probably because Gen Z knows that not a single one of these “fighters” has actually blocked a single thing.

Also
Not a single arrest
Not a single bruise
Not a single abrasion

falstaffshorse.bsky.social•30 days ago

I'm fucking over 50 and I know what it is, and it sucks.

eviecorwell.etheirys.social•30 days ago

Yeah we know what it is and it's insanely cringeworthy, David.

huskyrock.bsky.social•30 days ago

Cringe to all generations I believe.

thelifeofriver.bsky.social•30 days ago

Maybe that says more about the Gen Z than our age. Gen Z shouldn't be treating democracy like a game. After all, it's their future at stake. Gen Z needs to take the gloves off & get involved~but this ain't serious. SERIOUS WOMEN DONT PLAY🫰🫰🫰

djprohaska.bsky.social•30 days ago

oh stop it.
Gen X handed the election to Trump - Gen Z will be who gets us out of this mess.

thelifeofriver.bsky.social•30 days ago

Not with these kinds of post, read the room. GEN Z didn't do anyone any favors in 2024. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/08/young-voters-trump-gen-z

uncommonsenseshow.bsky.social•30 days ago

No, in fact, Trump cheated in at least Pennsylvania to steal the election, and probably more states, but the Democrats don't want to investigate the blatant admission he made about that in a televised speech, because they claim to take the "high road."

Stop blaming others for the Nazis.

tmolife.bsky.social•30 days ago

I’m not Gen-Z and I know exactly what this is, and it’s completely asinine

thenewslizard.bsky.social•30 days ago

I get it

doesn't mean it isn't lame

nohvah00.bsky.social•30 days ago

As a Millenial, this was fucking dumb when it started years ago - this is just SO much worse

oxahath.bsky.social•30 days ago

I think everyone born after 1980 recognizes a "choose your fighter" meme. It's still cringe.

goodridge.bsky.social•30 days ago

Thank you! It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

jm78mmm6.bsky.social•30 days ago

Gen X 🙋🏻‍♂️ says …wtf is this

piefilling.bsky.social•30 days ago

How does a Gen Xer not see the references to Street Fighter/Tekken/Mortal Kombat?

Did you never go to an arcade or not know anyone who owned a gaming console in the 90s?

ohokur.bsky.social•30 days ago

No, we understand the reference, and also, we think this is not the time or place for this when the dems are being so ineffectual

piefilling.bsky.social•30 days ago

I was asking specifically how poster, as GenX, didn’t understand the reference.

I would think anybody who was a kid in the 80s and 90s would get the reference .

eddyrobinson.bsky.social•30 days ago

Turns out your assumptions were not valid

piefilling.bsky.social•30 days ago

Or… OP was phrased oddly 🤷‍♂️

jm78mmm6.bsky.social•30 days ago

🎯

jm78mmm6.bsky.social•30 days ago

Of course we see it. Our response is WTF instead of cringe.

leupp.bsky.social•30 days ago

David, respectfully: cringe spans generations

irvineghost20.bsky.social•30 days ago

Gen Z TikTokers are going to find this so cringe. If the resistance Blue Sky-ers hate it, Gen Z’s going to tear it apart

ctlaltdel666.bsky.social•30 days ago

Gen X weighing in. It’s cringe. Maybe my boomer mother I law would think it was cute.

2kittlespins.bsky.social•30 days ago

Trust me. It’s cringe with a side of WTF.

ctlaltdel666.bsky.social•30 days ago

When we said they should be more theatrical in their resistance I think they misunderstood.

5plume.bsky.social•30 days ago

Why give the maga social media crowd a win on a silver platter by giving them an easy opportunity to brutally mock this 'fun bit'.

djprohaska.bsky.social•30 days ago

holding up auction signs & wearing pink the other night is 100X worse than this nod to Gen Z.

krissy.bsky.social•30 days ago

Just because that's worse, it doesn't make this good

krissy.bsky.social•30 days ago

For the record, I think it's cute and not terrible or anything. I'm just always expecting more from Dems than what I'm getting.

gemcom2000.bsky.social•30 days ago

No, that was fine too

brandoneffdub.bsky.social•30 days ago

And they probably think it’s as fucking stupid as the rest of us.

redregon.bsky.social•30 days ago

This has about the same drip as those corporate rap songs you'd see on cheap commercials in the 90's.

Reese's Puffs rap notwithstanding.

aidanjersey.bsky.social•30 days ago

I am Gen Z. I know what they’re referencing. It’s cringe.

irvineghost20.bsky.social•30 days ago

Thank you!!! I’m so embarrassed watching this

aidanjersey.bsky.social•30 days ago

this would be harmless in a universe where kamala won but uh….that’s not where we are

uncommonsenseshow.bsky.social•30 days ago

We ALL know what it is. What it ISN'T is cool.

anwvelasquez.bsky.social•30 days ago

No, no. I know what it is and it's still deeply embarrassing and insufficient as a response to the utter dumpster fire that is happening.
