Censorship is worse when they make it cringe.

People have always advocated for censorship. Always have and always will. The major thing now, is the censorious cretins aren't the Evangelical Right, an old, out-of-touch boomer movement completely external to the affected industry. Now they're the puritan left, a movement of young and old leftists coming from both in and outside the industry to consolidate and expand leftist power.
They never hated censorship due to some moral framework, they hated it because they weren't benefitting.
The fact that young people are the ones calling for censorship and authoritarianism is the thing that's throwing us all off.
The Left literally spent decades using the revolutionary youth to attack traditional structures, but once it became clear that they took over institutions, they then taught the youth to attack both young and old who were statists. Fundamentally the destroyed so many young people, and so many families, that they want the state to be their mommy and daddy. Even millennials grew up in a way where if we saw someone our age saying, "I DON'T FEEL SAFE" we'd laugh at them and call them a faggot.
Now, those people who did that are in charge of entire social, political, and economic structures; and have acquired the power of the gun. They basically combined with the statist crazy cat ladies who need the government to be their husband, and minorities to be their children. That's what happened with the Lockdowns during Covid.
We have this weird situation where a bunch of the young people thought 'risky behavior' was going on Reddit without their safety teddy bear. Then the government gave them a gun and told them to do whatever they felt like.
This is why I kind of hate millennials more than any generation.
They actually grew up in a really shit environment that had a small window of "not shit" that was the late 80's and early 90's. Yet instead of rising to the occasion and re-building what they had (which is literally us going "I just wanted to play video games"), they fell to the environment and became the most wild-eyed, psychotic, hyper-ideological, lunatic generation the country has ever seen. They became: "IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO CUT YOUR KIDS DICK OFF, YOU'RE A NAZI AND I'LL KILL YOU". The millennials are where everything split. They either figured out that something went wrong, or they quadrupled down on the crazy. Gen Z and Gen Alpha are not split like this, and kinda just understand the millennials are not to be trusted.
Who raised Millennials?

That's the only positive quality they have. Making based memes and throwing around based opinions is not a skill set. A lot of Zoomers are adults now, so the question is, what are they doing now to stem the tide?
They can only do so much as early adults. Unfortunately, most of the work is up to Gen Z and Millennials in positions of power.
JD Vance is a Millennial, so that's a pretty good start.
