I'm still surprised how kids weren't more rebelious..? I mean kids would throw massive tantrums because they can't wear tiny skirts or hats and yet they all obediently follow the mask rule?
Because the TV, movies, and video games aren't telling them to defy that one.
Media subverts everything it doesn't like with messaging, so of course it tells girls to defy societal norms and they should want to dress like sluts. Of course it tells boys to be simps interpret their value in terms of what they give to women.
I'm not surprised. They're drilled into blind obedience daily, are actively kept from positive role models for individualism, and their parents are too weak to provide one themselves.
Humans are typically very malleable as children, most obediently conform to the society they're exposed to, the ones who don't are the noble minority. Every dictatorship in history has proven it.
It's also why when rebellion is in it occasional cool phase that the most vigorous discussion inevitably revolves around who are just posers. Because only some of them are sticking it to the man because they want to, they rest are just sticking it to the man because they were told that's what they have to do to be cool.
