Let's be fair, here. The 2000s were irony-poisoned. If you look at it through the lens of "nothing matters, South Park is peak humor," you start to see the patterns
Personally, sex and even romance feel like watching cthulhu mating. The entire concept of actually doing that with another person would ruin any relationship I'd actually want, friendships.
The fact I started to think for myself at age 10 helps, that whole topic has always been "the other" to me.
It’s insane what was considered acceptable back then by today’s standards. Worse is that people in positions of power today truly want us to revert back given the policies being passed/dismantled and the words being tossed around or censored.
Oh god, the cringe of 90's 2000's ads.
Just as bad in video games. I hate that one of my favorite hobbies was heavily associated with this stuff that was for certain part of the gamergate brainrot.
I was watching Xplay recently. They had some on archivedotorg. It was a extremely witty show. But there are moments that felt kinda meanspirited/ racist towards japanese people. It was small, but it felt like such a place in time that made me go: "gamergate is going to happen 8 years from that."
"When I first watched Ranma, I really saw myself in that show. I'd been confused about myself, who I really was, but it helped discover and accept that side of me. I can fully say that if I had not introduced to the character of Master Happosai, I would not be the ad copy writer I am today."
I was never big on G4 because TechTV was my dad’s favorite channel and he was unhappy they shoved everything he enjoyed out the window in favor of the gaming content.
Its a good thing that I always hated that show. I thought Judgment Day was better, even if Tommy Tallarico was on it (I originally thought he was just putting on an act, I didn't know he was really like that.)
He acted like a "gaming bro" who hated all things Nintendo and liked edgy games. He liked God of War just due to the women undressed. Had nothing to do with gameplay.

At least the commercial wasn't like, "Yeah, this channel is for you sickos who love to non-consensually grab at people!"

Oh, yeah. "Shit."
Holy. Shit.

You cool with that?
Plans for this year's presentation will further emphasize the importance of boundaries... and yikes.
