That article was piss-poor. Did anyone even bother editing it before running it?
Pure clickbait from the author of other high quality journalistic endeavours over the past 3-days, including:
-Don't s*** on my plane! Model reveals F1 champion Lewis Hamilton's bizarre rules about going to the toilet
-Helen Flanagan's pregnancy is causing the mother of headaches for Coronation Street's wardrobe department
-Gaz Beadle panics in the nappy aisle at supermarket and begs fans to help
Not a single link or even a Twitter handle for us to read these Tweets as posted in the article to determine context. In a high quality news source like The Mirror? Quelle surprise.
Were they 30-year olds trying to sound ironically idiotic in-regards to millennial sensitivities, or 15-year olds proving themselves to be overly sensitive idiots? Were they even millennials, and not x’rs or boomers with learning disabilities?
Even in the mid-90s Friends was ahead of the curve on sexuality and gender identity. To the best of my memory, the jokes when it came to Ross’ ex-wife and her partner, were not “about” lesbians, but about Ross (and co’s) inability to process it when compared to the rest of the world.
The joke wasn’t on the lesbians or transpeople, it was was on the Friends for saying/thinking the things they setup as jokes.
Anyways, these Tweets are hardly the voices that would ever be considered “THE” voices of an entire generation, yet 5x Tweets, from presumably 5 accounts, is somehow enough to write an article about this phenomena?
