What are the worst cases of millennial writing/redditism you've ever watched?

Next is what to write, right? So they have no real world skills developed or experiences to relate to and write about, all they have is the media they consume, which they then recycle, remix to "modern audiences" meaning their online internet bubble of losers that talk in tumblr speak.

You know what I'm referring to. Where they always end an opinion with a question mark. Their speech an effort of ensuring there is 0 aggression or offense to others but simultaneously edgy with f bombs or f bomb adjacent for TV complimented with snarkiness against whatever opposition, which is always portrayed as obtuse and stupid and them as witty, world-weary and intellectual.

But they're incapable of making these metaphors subtle. Subtlety is something your average millennial has been bullied about his whole life, jokes constantly flying over his head, any retort or comeback always landing flat against his peers. The only time they think up a clever zinger (maybe) is eight hours later or more and its too late.

Its because while your millennial writer has consumed a lot of media, and perhaps a book or two, the millennial never mastered the skill of critical thought, to take apart the things it reads and understand them at individual levels and do it enough times to actually think quickly. Its why they're incapable of nuances of big political issues and everything is black or white to them.

This is reflected in the media they write now, its why shit like The Boys has constant CURRENT political references that hammer on your head about the bad guys being white supremacists milk drinkers that want to kill all the beaners. Seriously what's with this milk drinking shit? Do Millennials constantly want to reference Clockwork Orange? Is this the only "subtle" jab about nazis that they can think ?

Here is another less extreme example. Think of the new characters in media that have been coming out. Like the new planeswalkers in Magic the Gathering for example. Most of them are introduced as fat queeroids and non-binaries and you know very little else about them. Because the writer does not know about world experiences that can shape a person. Because they never went through it themselves. Whenever they interact with the world and encounter challenge or struggle, they shrink away from it, they pop their xanax and shut their brain off.

I'm not exaggerating, I used to be in touch with a "queer" community manager for a popular media and that was her go to cope when dealing with stresses of life.

They would rather not think than process and learn from what they deal with.

And this reflects in the things they attempt to create. But its never creation from the void, its always a remix. The millennial writer is incapable of writing something original or at the very least base it on an idea or principle.

Its why Tolkien's work is so strong, despite the current leeches trying to milk it dry and ruin it for good. Tolkien survived WWI and drew inspiration from the world experiences he endured and created a language of his own making, which he then world-built around that language.

None of these millennial writers will ever replicate or accomplish anything similar, ever.

I base a lot of this from the analysis I read years ago about the problems anime/manga were facing where a lot of the new artist and authors of anime come from backgrounds where their only experience is literally consuming anime. Its why newer anime is becoming more immature or edgy, more neurodivergent, with really r-slurred premises because the writers have no idea how to introduce characters and concepts together naturally.

Shit sucks and its going to keep sucking with mass media. Only solution is stick with old media or none at all. I'm honestly kinda thankful for millennial writers because I'm no longer interested in just consuming shit or playing new vidya. Or maybe I'm just becoming more of an adult since becoming a father, idk.
