I’m so confused. Can someone explain this one to me? It just looks like someone is playing a phone game or DS or something. Don’t people play phone games still or is that the joke?
Its consider cringe by "the youths" to be out in public playing a handheld game console.
i am the youth, nobody thinks this and in fact playing with a game console versus a phone is in fact even a fashion or cultural statement that people think is cool
Well i know two teenagers that disagree with you
i can assure you that my impression of the youth is more encompassing than yours
See but i cant take that at face value, you are an unconfirmed youth, the youths i see are confirmed youths.
You could be some dude in his 40s larping, so ill take their anecdotes over yours
Note: i do not want proof do not send me pictures
also keep in mind that what teenagers (including me) tell adults is often not what we actually think, for various reasons
Then how can we trust that you're telling us what you actually think now? Maybe you do think it's cringe and want to encourage old people to do it just because that is funny. I'm on to you sonny boy.
You shouldnt really trust what anyone says on the internet, imo. But consoder this from my perspective: multiple children have told me whats up irl, one person who may or may not be a teenager disagrees with that. Thats 3 real vs one hypothetical child. I was piping up bc someone asked, but that person shouldnt take anything i (or anyone on the internet) says as anything but an anecdote.
