The 2000s fucking sucked (hexbear.net)

Growing up in the 2000s fucked my brain hard. The sexism, homophobia and racism coupled with the free-range parenting that was simultaneously neglectful while gaslighting everyone into thinking that it was too coddling, and an internet that simply did not give a fuck who it traumatized. All topped off with a resurgence of Western jingoism from the "war in terror".

The only good thing about that period was some of the videogames were okay I guess but only if you avoid ANYTHING remotely military flavoured. A lot of shit outside of Nintendo was afraid of colour and everything was that washed out brown. Just a miserable time. Everyone was so uncreative and the world had some fucked up Southpark brainworms.

It.... Wasn't great. It felt pretty souless. My wife and I saw it yesterday since we have MoviePass and figured might as well. I'd wait for it to stream free.

i don't get why they bothered with Lilo & Stitch of all things, it's nowhere near being public domain and felt like the last one that would be improved by live actors

hell, toy story feels like it would have more upside by making the outside world/vehicles IRL (but that would still turn out shit tbh)
