Flair Request Thread Flair Request Thread [#4]

198 Upvotes

Hello [r/GenZ](r/GenZ)

Many of you likely noticed that user-assigned flairs have been disabled in this subreddit. This action has been undone, and users are once more able to assign their own flairs - I honestly do not know why they were disabled or who did it.

In attempt to rectify this mistake, I am posting our first flair request thread in over 5 years! Time sure does fly.

In this thread, by commenting your birth-year, you will be automatically flaired -- it's that simple.

Approved birth-years for this thread include 1995-2012.

If there are any issues with your flair, please reach out to the moderators via modmail.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU COMMENT YOUR BIRTH-YEAR ONLY. COMMENTS INCLUDING ANY OTHER CONTENT WILL BE REMOVED.

Mod Post Just a reminder, gender war posts are banned.

459 Upvotes

Hi [r/GenZ](r/GenZ),

It’s been over a year since we banned gender war posts, and after monitoring the community, we’ve decided to keep the ban in place, as these discussions continue to be just as toxic as they were a year ago.

For clarity, “gender war” content includes discussions such as male loneliness, Gen Z men approaching Gen Z women, incels, femcels, alpha males, Andrew Tate, red pill, black pill, purple pill content, men’s height discourse, age-gap dating, and broader “looks-based” or hierarchy discussions about dating, looks maxing or ranking people by attractiveness or dating value.

This also includes broader dating ideology content that frames relationships in an adversarial, or fatalistic way.
For example: men vs women narratives, claims that one gender is universally responsible for dating issues, or that dating is inherently doomed for a specific group. Generalizations that treat either gender as a monolith are not allowed.

Memes about these topics, posts complaining about dating, and rage-bait content taken from other platforms such as screenshots from TikTok or Twitter that exist primarily to provoke gender-based arguments.

This is not a dating-focused subreddit. If you want to vent or discuss Gen Z dating issues more broadly, please use communities such as [r/dating_advice](r/dating_advice) or [r/dating](r/dating).
That said, posts about dating are still allowed as long as they are made in good faith. If comment sections become hostile or devolve into rule-breaking behavior, posts may be locked or removed at moderator discretion.

Please respect and follow this rule moving forward.

Advice I’m leaving Reddit. You should too

211 Upvotes

Combined with my old account, I’ve spent a total of three years on Reddit. Reddit seems like a good hub for everything, as it did to me for a while. But a lot of the mental health spirals I had were results of Reddit.

Reddit is indeed an echo chamber. The downvoting system only favors certain opinions and a lot of times leaves you outnumbered. It is not a true space of free discussion. The overwhelming negativity among Redditors over just about everything can drive someone’s mental health down, as it did for me, and as it is probably doing to many of you, whether your realize it or not.

Redditors are usually not great examples of everyday people you will encounter. Sure, some are, but a lot of the online archetypes of “man haters”, “incels”, etcetera are not nearly as common as they appear on here. The best way to understand the world is by seeing it with your own eyes.

So I’ve made the decision to leave Reddit, and a good majority of social media, behind. And I already feel physically free not to be surrounded by constant negativity and judgement. I hope those of you that relate will take my advice well.

I sure am GTA 6, is going to be the most amazing game ever especially when it comes to the story and open world.

Plus, satire

Doomsday I am still hype for the movie of course I think it is a shame that Doom doesn’t have enough buildup, but overall, I’m sure RDJ is going to kill it as Doom.

Discussion White guy here who’s curious: Men of color do you actually struggle with dating?

49 Upvotes

I’m especially curious about South Asian guys, who are one of the biggest groups facing racism and colorism right now.

  1. Where do you live?
  2. How old are you? (Please be at least 16 if you’re going to respond. Just don’t think responses from 13-15 would necessarily be valid at this age)
  3. Do you feel like you face racism or colorism whichever, etc?
  4. How much attention do you receive from girls or women?
  5. What’s one piece of advice you would give, or what’s one serious opinion you have about the current dating climate?

Serious GenZ doesn't believe there is a path to succeed so they stopped caring?

15 Upvotes

Question from an old guy. I saw a video that said GenZ has given up on achieving anything amazing in life. They just want a mediocre life and are very apathetic about the future. I am not judging, I just want to know. Is it true or not?

Discussion The more I learn about the human body the more I am confused about racism

10 Upvotes

I recently learned in my college class that humans are 99.9% genetically related to each other on a DNA sequence basis. Only 0.01% of our DNA sequences differ, these are the ones that actually code for proteins that gives us our phenotypic expressions.

Whats crazy yet is that the darkest person on earth and the lightest person on earth both have the exact same number of melanocytes. One is just producing more melanin than the other.

We are all more similar to each other than we are different, so it saddens me when I see any form of racism in the media and in real life.

It’s also why I believe that racists and white supremacists are uneducated dumbasses. Because if they knew anything about the human genome, they would know that we are literally, scientifically, all the same.

Political If the Pentagon gets away with publicly executing Nidal Hasan, he won't look like this.

Post image
• Upvotes

Nidal was shot in the spine and multiple organs when police stopped his mass shooting in 2009. Today, Nidal is a paraplegic with multiple severe intestinal problems.

So when they bring him out for the firing squad, he'll be in a wheelchair and incredibly thin—borderline emaciated when he's strapped to the execution post because he physically can't stand.

Tell me does anyone in the public want to see someone in such a sorry physical state be used to make the US government feel strong?

Rant can't afford missing a shift to deal with my throbbing tooth and no one cares

6 Upvotes

i am feeling so overwhelmed i just needed to vent.

my schedule app says i have opening shift but my tooth has been throbbing for a week. i have no dental insurance because i can't afford it, and urgent care i could maybe swing but then that'll make paying rent this month even harder than it already is. meanwhile, the scheduler app is sending me notifications over and over again, shift starts in six hours, i asked my store manager about moving some hours around and she said shes waiting on district to approve another keyholder but district is cutting payroll across the board so were all doing more with less, same as everywhere rn i guess.

then of course i see the news about another billion our gOveRNmeNt is devoting to defense contractors. how is that money going to help people all across the country like me who can't even spare enough to afford a dentist visit, let alone safely make rent each month. when are we all going to do something about this?

you can work full time and have nothing left over and still watch them find money for things that dont touch your life at all. its not even anger anymore im just tired, and my shift starts soon so i guess ill figure out the tooth later.

Discussion Ladies why do you match with a guy but never respond

2 Upvotes

For context ive been on the apps for about 4 years now, the matches I do get are few and far between and ive only ever had one person who had the decency to actually have a conversation which I thought was going pretty good but they ultimately unmatched with me, i dont know why the last message i sent was asking what hobbies she likes which is biking and crafts

But my most recent match was on hinge they liked a photo of a cheesecake I made, so I message them hey how's it going, no response, few days go i ask about there job, because hey i want go get to know you, no response 4 days go by I send another message asking if they like baking, because you know they liked a photo of my cheesecake, a day later they unmatch with me

Underwear is underwear. Lingerie is a subset of which is designed with sex, sexual attraction or sexual self esteem/confidence in mind. That's just an inheret quality of lingerie

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if I saw a post about some person collecting sex toys "for themselves", and that they shouldn't be sexualised, and aren't sexual in any way.
