Romanticizing everything:

okay but why do we (gen z ) make everything a fucking aesthetic, like I just saw a lawyer aesthetic video that glamorizes the life of a lawyer, y’all realize that being a lawyer isn’t just ✨old libraries, and ✨a fancy outfit

…and social justice issues:

this gen z revolution thing is being very much romanticised. it’s not quirky or fun to have to protest for basic human rights. it’s horrifying to realise you live in a country where the gov doesn’t give a toss about you. there are literal genocides happening. stop using these-
