Millennials outraged over TV show portraying millennials as outraged

independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/millennials-outraged-over-tv-show-portraying-millennials-as-outraged-a7184771.html

>A millennial member of a focus group has angrily objected to the contents of a television programme because it portrayed millennials as coddled, easily offended and thin-skinned.

>The feedback for CBS’ new comedy series The Great Indoors was recounted by its executive producer Mike Gibbons at a Television Critics Association panel this week and, in further vindication, outraged a millennial member of the press.

>“I’m a millennial myself. How are we so coddled, and what about our overly politically correct workplace bothers you?” they asked somewhat stroppily at the panel.

Why are millennials so entitled? Especially to entertainment, something that isn't a human right.

what even is reality anymore

A gigantic, cosmic meme.

I'm sure the person who complained then proceeded to hop on tumblr and talk about how they 'just couldn't even'.

>>“I’m a millennial myself. How are we so coddled, and what about our overly politically correct workplace bothers you?” they asked somewhat stroppily at the panel.
I busted a gut laughing. The irony.

Why is this even a story? All it mentions is two no-name "journalists" who bitched about it. If anything this is just an advertisement for the show thinly veiled as news.

wtf? i love McHale now!

Who cares it'll be canceled after 4 episodes

Well that's what it is, yes.

Wow I'm glad I'm not a milennial
They're such cucks

Ironic...

Fantasy caught in a landslide.

To be fair, shitting on millennials for being self absorbed and entitled is a load of bullshit. Our parents and grandparents had much better opportunities and less restrictions than we ever did or ever will, and we're much more knowledgeable about the world around us than they were.

It is mine to command! To control!

This is like an onion article. When did real life supercede satire?

>the independent.

That should have tipped you off, m8

Hi there! I just wanted to give you a friendly reminder that if you were born on or after 1980, you're a millienal!

No need to thank me, you were probably just born in the wrong generation.

Blame Generation Xers who are in their midlife crisis.

When you see "millenial" on Sup Forums, just mentally replace it with "post-internet"

Now you don't have to make these posts and you can understand what's being said. Once upon a time people did this using "context" but that is an art lost to the ages.

>People born in 2005 are millennials
No

How does having it objectively worse off rationalize being self-absorbed and feeling entitled to everyone caring about your emotions and pandering to you 24/7? Seriously, explain this to me please, I'm literally a 22 year old with diagnosed mental illness living in the hood and I'm having trouble understanding what you're getting at.

>millennials have access to a tool that can allow them to contact just about anyone anywhere in the world, amass millions of dollars worth of materials completely free and become skilled in virtually any craft they want to put their mind to
>our parents and grandparents somehow had better opportunities/less restrictions

Too good.

I didn't say that. And a lot of those 'feelings first' policies had been introduced pre-millennials. And I said we in general weren't self absorbed, unless we use the 'selfie' crowd anecdotes, the same type of person that's existed since forever.

>People born in 2004 will be teenagers next year

>Not breaking your back down the mines and instead being able to learn about anything from the comfort of your own home gives you the right to be self absorbed and entitled

That's dumb. You're dumb.

Actually it means that you were born between 1982 and 1994.

This is comedy gold. Brilliant.

Proven to know nothing about business, education, or life

>one person in a focus group doesnt like thing
>OMG ALL MILLENNIALS R SUCH BABIES WTF!!!

We should take all the e-jurnos and burn them alive

Elaborate then

This is all we have left. We're the last generation. Memes will end it all.

Nigger, you're retarded. Why do you continue interpret this as 'we're justifiably self absorded and entitled' when I said the opposite? And the 'miners' meme can't be applied to the real life as a whole. Little bitches like you don't understand that it wasn't long ago you could buy a house, or land, or a business, or a brand new car with very little debt and loans that didn't take a lifetime or cripple you. You could also approach a business with no 100k education and ask to learn how to do it, and get a paid apprenticeship/internship.

You're so stupid you have no idea how the world used to work, you just think 'muh miner town'. Kill yourself

>make fun of a group complaining
>that group can never complain now

>portray boomers as shitting on everyone else
>they shit on everyone else for complaining

Not saying millenials aren't terrible but for fucks sake

Why do boomers hate millenials so much?

V-I-R-A-L

Because boomers lived easy mode and never had to learn to network

Sssshhh just sit back and enjoy the inevitable downfall of western civilization and the rise of Chinese authoritarianism

>imblying that this isn't some made-up anecdote in order to give free publicty to the show

>Offending audience is best strategy ever

Not at all
See new Ghostbusters, they tried to offend fans as much as possible and they failed

When people say we feel entitled they aren't just talking about free college and gibsmedats, user. And you're just proving the point about being coddled by the feelings first shit, being coddled implies that there is a coddler to begin with and that doesn't come from a void. What's really happening today is the parents of old realizing they fucked up our development at some point, with the subsequent emotional backlash being a direct result of that fucking up our development. Sure, they might have fucked it up in the past, but what's done is done and the extremely vocal soy milk babies of our generation can't seem to get past that and expect everything to be tailored to every idiosyncracy as a result. The internet is a big part of fostering this mindset, I'm sure, since we're now able to communicate with and share tailored, niche content exclusively within our own little bubbles of like-minded individuals.

>a job relegated to the extreme exception of society represents the majority of the most morally bankrupt degenerate and entitled generation in the history of the world
My dad was hard working too, but his generation is fucking irredeemable

People born in 2000 are driving and having sex now

>in two years people born 2000 can be in porn

ITT: millennials whining about millennials

To play the doubles advocate, a tv show has a much smaller barrier to entry and requires a lot less people to watch.

Offending an audience that may otherwise never have heard of it might actually be a fair strategy for them

>Thinks our generation isn't self absorbed and entitled
>Tells others they don't know shit

You're deluded, and there are far more opportunities out there than you're making out, and debts and loans are easier than ever to avoid if you're not a dumb cunt since we have every resource and advice available at our fingertips and don't have to just listen to Crazy Billy the Car Salesman. The fact that you think everything's so much worse for you than it was for everyone before you just proves the point of being self absorbed and entitled. Grow up you crybaby.

>82-94

This is even more asinine than a nice even 20 year gap

>debts and loans are easier than ever to avoid
That point during an argument on Sup Forums when one statement makes you realize a person might not actually be kidding and might really be retarded

>I'm not going to listen to facts or anything, and if you don't agree with me you're a whiner, d-don't look at how the boomers and their offspring were taken care of throughout their entire lives

I have nothing more to say to you. You're dumb, so I'll just let you wander about life with this idea that we've got it really good because the internet exists. I'm sure the internet has made you rich and successful, as well as everyone else

Not really; it has to do with age in the post internet/ post 9/11 world

Considering women are millennials, it's no surprise. Women are offended by everything on behalf of everybody who isn't a white man.
As a white guy, I don't know what being offended feels like, I can't empathize or sympathize with these people who feel they were wronged (they weren't)

>College tuitions have inflated 10 fold in 40 years, meaning you could easily work part time while studying
>today students not well off get crushed by student loans
And it's not only millenials who have access to the internet and smartphones.

>Falling for advertisements disguised as journalism

Also, the show looks fucking awful. A 3-minute trailer and didn't even smile.

They're trying to attract the audience they want by offending an audience that was going to be offended by them anyway.

Checked

>January 1st, 2018
>WATCH NOW, the first pornstar born in the new millenium getting railed by blacks

How old were your parents that they worked in a mine?

My parents both got jobs at IBM with basically no education.

You'll never get a straight answer from that generation about how god damn fucking easy it was to be successful back then.

Based Joel

My dad bought a brand new car while working at a bowling alley. He wasn't doing a 4 year payment plan either. You literally have no context to what you're saying at all, and fell for the 'dudeee just go to university' meme, even as the market begins to saturate. Id tell you to grow up, but with your absolute lack of any context to life before the internet, it doesn't seem like you'll have the tools to do that

>hey, we're not entitled u take that back >:^(
>THE BOOMERS GOT FREE COLLEGE AND NEVER HAD TO WORK FOR ANYTHING ITS NOT FAIR

I hate millennials so fucking much.

>millennials are thin skinned
>call a gen x or boomer racist they go on a 15 minute tirade about how they're the most persecuted people on the planet

lol

Those pictures are completely true. First night and theatre was mostly empty for a prime time slot.

Drafted into wars=better life.
Do you even know how big of a pussy you are?

>dudee you didn't get drafted into a war, that means nothing you said matters

It shows, faggot, it shows

>genx 1964-1980
>millennials 1982-1994
>mfw born in 1981

reality cracks and strains under meme magic

>proud of being a gen x millenial

This entire "of course you get offended when somebody says you're a thin skinned faggot" is pretty well summed up by this comic.

You literally addressed none of my points and then said you were going to ragequit the discussion, good job proving everyone else right. I conceded the financial opportunity point in my very first reply to you. :^)

>I can't budget and it's the rest of the world's fault

I will concede that there is an issue of location here, since some retarded countries give people a bill when they finish school rather than just taking it via tax. But then it's hard to sympathise when even a ten year old knows what that liberal arts and philosophy degree is worth.

>Misuse a well defined generational term that has a well defined timeframe because we're on a special snowflake site that doesn't abide by society's definitions

>gen x 64-80
>millennials 82-94
there are 2 missing years there and they both belong to the millennial generation

then how come it did so well at the box office?

Should've posted a trigger warning

You're retarded for excusing the practices put in place by the boomers

You were incorrect, just as you are now. Enjoy always been a fag and sucking a grey bushed dick and how your masters really had to work hard for everything they had, and they didn't even have the internet!

Why are you still on Sup Forums, mang?

>So well

They earned just 60 miilion $

>Generation Edge

Is this serious?

>and fell for the 'dudeee just go to university' meme
But user it's the university faggots who complain the most because they wasted five years of their life for a piece of paper no-one gives a fuck about. I dropped out of high school, got into zero hour low pay work on the railway, climbed up to machine operation, on my way to job running and site coordination. Start at the bottom, work up. These uni faggots you speak of are too busy crying about not jumping straight from education to being a ceo.

beautiful, I thought it did well

The problem is that as technology develops, jobs are becoming so complex that most people simply cannot cope with the demands of this job complexity, even those people that society deems to be engineering-minded

By liberalising women and preventing the birth of children, the main reason to work has been taken away. There is no real reason for the average male to aspire to anything other than Internet porn and video games, and they can pursue these goals while living on their parent's cushy income.

Then there are the retards with worthless liberal arts degrees, the reason that our generation is "more highly educated than ever before". These retards are currently doing a great job of dismantling the cultural and political institutions that allowed us to live in a lawful society.

I doubt it will last very long.

I'm sorry, the millennium started in 2001. Please update your porn promotion and hold it off for another year.

Sorry Mr. Millenial, you've abused the word racist (A word I used to revere) to the point where it's meaningless

That's your fault.

sounds like i'll like this one

The problem is that it isn't well-defined and doesn't have a well-defined time frame either.

I'm not excusing those practices, user, I just wasn't taking them into account because they don't occur where I live, which fair enough was an oversight on my part. But if you live in a country stupid enough to pull that shit you're kind of fucked from the start, and I'd say that's less a generational thing and more a government thing.

;_; i just want a job the fucking subway won't hire me and still have a "help wanted" sign out front what the fuck do I need to do to get a foot in the door for an entry level job they're still shortstaffed on

Apply for more than just one job maybe?

The only practices put in place by the boomers is instilling in their children this ridiculous notion that physical work = lesser beings and that "you can do whatever you want".

It isn't the boomers that get useless degrees while racking up huge debt they'll never be able to pay.

>thinking you can ever leave
>mfw

plus, shitposting is a great quiet way to kill a couple hours while my kid takes a nap

>Enjoy always been a fag and sucking a grey bushed dick and how your masters really had to work hard for everything they had
I can't tell if you're trolling or actually this anally ravaged, considering I told you you were right about the financial opportunity thing and that they were the ones who fucked us up in the first place. The only point I'm trying to make now is that a lot of us are overly sensitive and feel entitled to everyone tiptoeing around our feelings 24 hours a day, a point that you're doing an exemplary job of proving.

Fuck them. Just abuse the system and get them monthly payments.

Oh yeah, of course, it's just the most recent one. I'm not strong enough for manual labor so I don't apply for those, but I've been trying at each fast food place, especially the ones that are hiring. I get e-mails from places like Office Depot and Dominoes telling me they're hiring, so I go ahead and apply and they never get back to me.
I hate it how I try to go into a place, meet somebody, ask for an application, and they tell me to just do it online. I'm not against online applications, I'm against how they don't have the balls to tell me they won't hire me because I'm a white man.

>we're much more knowledgeable about the world around us than they were

You probably can't even change a fucking tire. Or know how to balance a checkbook, or woodworking, or fucking anything hands on. Yet you'll just say "hurr i can google that xD" while having the arrogance and audacity to dismiss your ancestors, who survived on hand-me-down information.

Jack of no trades, master of nothing. Fucking worthless retard.

I bet every person in this thread is a millennial lol the irony

The universe has been without a God for too long, and has thusly provided one for us.

Praise be to Kek in the Toppest, and memes to his people online.

>commentators on leddit are upset
