Bow to the kings.

Seems like the pendulum of counter culture is swinging and I am here for the Gen Z meltdown.

These are the same fucking morons that will cry for 3 days if you don’t have pronouns in your bio. I can’t wait to see Gen Z trolls posting tik tok freakouts from their classmates and the like.

I fucking hate tik tok and all zoomer adhd "content" culture, but that sounds amazing.

Keep up old man, the future is now

You can look up burger king crown on TikTok and there are already people posting videos/memes of them wearing the crown on their flight with positive comments.

Disgusting.

"This incident is disgusting and cannot happen again, the incident highlights that we continue to have opportunities in the area of diversity, equity and inclusion,"

I adore how the PR speak turned on halfway through that sentence, like she realized how stupid she sounded and had to massage it into something else.

Next time take a longer pause maybe, they'll put a period in and you can take advantage of that to say you were misquoted.

That counter-signaling SlateStarCodex article just keeps on giving.

How can he be so sure it was a racist act, not just kids being silly? I think I need more context.

Are you familiar with the dude who was kicked off the airplane wearing the burger King crown?

Well, those kids aren't on a plane yelling gamer words, are they?

If we are to equate a toy crown with the gamer word, we should just execute all men, since we all possess the instrument to rape a woman.

We are currently living in a culture where far too many people think the traditional "OK" hand gesture is a white supremacist 'dog whistle' (a term created and used by r-slurs). To be fair, even one person thinking such a thing should be seen as a sign that we were cheated with COVID because it didn't kill nearly enough useless, stupid people. That the same sort of drooling mongs that believe the "OK" thing would believe the Burger King crown thing isn't the least bit surprising.

That may be true, but the total withdrawal from those signs only cement its "legitimacy." If the media didn't act like a bunch of fslur rslurs, and refuse to swallow the bait, the "OK" gesture would still be an ironic dumb joke played by /pol/.

These people are going to deny my (potential) future children the freedom to wear paper crown, and I won't stand for it.

I'd like to go full-tilt rrrr-readanotherbook and say that Orwell predicted this, but that wouldn't be true.

The villains in Orwell's books were competent and intelligent.

Just dont have them wear it to school

Yeah sure, but if that idea is normalized, my (potential) future children will still get funny looks if I let them wear it at the park.

I get your point, but my problem is our dumb knee-jerk reaction is going to leave us with less fun.

They had e-mailed the video around previously and were clearly wearing it in connection with the video.

It's just kids being edgy and they deserve to be called stupid. They should be punished but hopefully the school board doesn't go overboard. We have to remember that these students will either mellow out into posting black squares on their instagram and cancelling people on twitter or post on /pol/, never leave the house and become an inc*l.

Welp. This really cleared it up now. Now I can only hope people won't start equating paper crowns with this kind of stuff.

I wasn't. Also knew people back in high school that would wear those shitty paper crowns because they thought it was funny.

Baader-meinhof cause I just saw that for the 1st time yesterday.

Writing an article like that sounds like a good way to get sued for defamation by Restaurant Brands International and their grubby Leaf lawyers.

leaf lawyers. lol.

Day of The Rake when?

I'm sure most of you have seen the video of the guy having a gamer moment on a plane while wearing a Burger King crown.

^ this has actually convinced me that i spend too much time on the internet . like i literally had no clue what you were talking about and that felt so nice

King mentality. 💪🤴

We wuz is Kingz n sheit.

those are some tiny ass desks

Baste

First thing you thought of

Edit: lol, they really were referencing this video

I will guarantee this A-a-ron Grant kid is not the least bit popular and won't lose their virginity until they're almost 30, and even then they'll have to pay for it. I will also wager that they are in for all sorts of bullying and probably a beating or two.

After reading the article I want to give them a swirly.

that's what stood out to me, homie is probably already a reddit mod

Inshallah

I’ve lived with my ex for over a year i’m already resigned to being the hermit crab equivalent of a man. I have nothing to lose cept this bitch i already hate which makes me incredibly dangerous 🦇

This reads like an Onion article from back when The Onion was still good

"None of this stuff is funny, racism isn't funny, any kind of hate towards any, any culture, is not funny at all" said Grant

What if being Kangs and sheit is their culture🤔
