i am once again gnashing my teeth over the "im sick of catboys. give me a washed up and old 28 year old cat MAN" tumblr post
SIR
SIR OR MADAM
THATS STILL YOUNG YOU DIPSHIT.
YOUR ILLUSTRATION OF A BEARDED CATMAN COSPLAYING THE SILENT HILL 2 DUDE IS CLEARLY, LIKE, MID 40S. LEARN AGES.
this kind of shit genuinely drives me up the fucking wall. its the exact same shit as the 24 year old milf / 30 year old cougar shit. people are constantly lowering what they see as old and grizzled and its just gonna end in disaster when they feel geriatric at 38. what the fuck is causing this. its insane
"im an adult now so im not young now so im Old now so i have to sexualize and genderify Oldness and apply it to me because im not gonna get there naturally"
these people are looking in the mirror and going "hehehe youre old enough to be my mom~" and its making me want to eat my own arms
@gutters0451 THE MIRROR THING IS SUCH A FUNNY IMAGE THO. AND ITS TRUE. LMAO.
now I want to see these ppl meeting themself from another dimension like 'hehe youre old enough to be my mom~' and the other is like 'dude. we are literally both 28' and beats them up
@gutters0451 my guess is that contemporary media fetishizes youth to an incredible degree that 1. everyone over 25 is “”old”” and 2. they don’t know what a normal 35 year old human looks like.
@kate yiik guy in james sunderland cosplay
it feels like this generation (mine) never quite grew out of feeling like
A: adults and kids should never interact and are different species
B: theyll never make it to (enter x age 5 years out here)
so now theyre constantly compressing their age perceptions to fit into their next 5 years because they still dont believe theyll be around then but they want to be That Kind Of Hot TM so theyre trying to like. speedrun this shit
but then theyre gonna be alive. and embarassed about their Old Phase
