No more capeshit or terf wizards. They consumed different media and updated their reference pools.

What media would you want that to be?

It wouldn't change anything, but the memes and stuff would be from something else.

I think it would be fun if Sailor Moon reentered the mainstream and people drew comparisons between hillary and Usagi.

It would melt my brain, but at least I could laugh at the art that comes from it.

I prefer it when they use Harry Potter and MCU references because it makes it easier to identify garbage opinions.

If I had to pick, though, I’d like it if they started referencing literal children’s books, the kind with pictures and like two lines of text per page. Hungry Caterpillar, Goodnight Moon, Peter Rabbit, the Busytown books, etc. If they’re going to act like children, it would be less jarring if they went all the way with it.

Social safety nets are like If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. The freeloaders will always ask for more. That’s why we need to eliminate welfare to coerce people into crushing jobs with below-poverty wages and have police kill all the those sleeping rough.

That’s almost too coherent an analogy for them. It’s more like “Donald Trump is the mouse from If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. He got a cookie in 2016, but we don’t have to give him another! Vote!”
