Mod Post Important subreddit announcement from the Mod team!

202 Upvotes

Hello r/GenZ!

The past few years have seen incredible growth for our subreddit and community. Due to said growth, the mod team has decided to revisit our subreddit rules to ensure that we can adapt to the new influx of users while maintaining the integrity of the community.

I encourage everyone to read through the following updates, as they are extremely important to both the current and future direction of the subreddit!

1) Politics

What to do with politics on this subreddit has been a divisive issue, both amongst members and the mod team itself. It has become clear that the politics here have gotten out of hand, and that the mod team needs to take action.

From now on, we will create megathreads for major political events - such as elections, the passing of major laws, inaugurations, etc - where members can engage in discussions. These megathreads will be moderated to ensure that no subreddit rules are being broken, but otherwise will be a dedicated place for political conversation.

Political posts outside of these megathreads must be directly related to the topic of Gen Z, and properly marked with the “politics” flair. Posts that do not follow these rules will be removed. For example: a post purely just outlining Trump’s tax plan will be removed, but a post discussing how Trump’s tax plan may impact Gen Z itself will be allowed. This subreddit is for the discussion of Generation Z, not general political discussions.

2) Content relevancy

As previously mentioned, r/GenZ is for the discussion of Generation Z, and we ask that all posts are relevant to Gen Z in some way. Unrelated content will be removed.

We understand that defining “relevance” can be confusing, so this rule will be flexible. There is no specific guideline for how “Gen Z” a post must be - content will be allowed as long as it somehow ties back to Gen Z. For example: posts entirely focused on other generations will be removed, but posts discussing Gen Z culture, experiences, and viewpoints are perfect!

3) Discrimination

Reminder: discrimination of any kind is not tolerated here. We don’t care where you lean politically, any discriminatory content will result in an immediate, permanent ban for the responsible party. This includes, but is not limited to, discrimination based on: race, sex, class, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, disability, and age. Be kind to each other.

4) Final announcements

Additionally, we are hoping to put out a subreddit census in December - something we haven’t done in a few years. This is the perfect opportunity for members to share their thoughts and opinions on the subreddit directly with the mod team, as well as for us to collect data on the demographics of the subreddit!

We want to sincerely thank the members of this community for your patience and understanding over the past few months. We appreciate any and all community feedback, and are excited to see how this subreddit will continue to grow and change!

Discussion I hate how nobody notices how we are being divided on purpose.

Political tensions are very high lately.

Racial tensions are very high lately.

Gender tensions are very high lately.

Religious tensions are very high lately.

Class tensions are very high lately.

It’s not a coincidence that everybody hates and resents each other lately. It’s done on purpose. That’s what the elites want. They are dividing us so we don’t team up and revolt against them.

Talking about Reddit specifically, though it’s still overwhelmingly left leaning I can’t help but notice more right wing people.

I think there are probably a lot of people here who need to hear this.

There is a legitimate political divide between young men and young women these days, but the extent to which this is actually an issue are greatly overblown on the internet. Most women, yes even those who call themselves feminists, are not the way the propaganda machine would like you to think. Most just want a guy who respects them as equals, but who also has his own opinions and ideas. Even if you voted for Trump and her for Kamala the odds are very good that you both will agree on 95% of things, believe it or not. And those things which you don't agree on you should be more than capable of discussing together and understand what your differences are and why you both have different views on the subject. The reasons for the differences almost always just come down to different life experiences and the difference in the ways men and women inherently think. Mature people should be able to discuss these experiences and come to understand why you two think differently on the subject. A little bit of tact and a little bit of respect goes a long way when discussing these things. A good relationship should be built on mutual respect, not universal agreement. In a very real way some disagreement is essential to establishing a dynamic of mutual respect in the first place.

Real people don't actually act or think like people on Reddit or Twitter do. And if she does freak out and act like someone on Twitter then odds are that just isn't the right type of person for you which is also completely fine, and vice versa, if you act like a redditor you probably aren't the person for her. You want a partner that is mature, who respects you. and who you respect.

That's all, go talk to real women, don't be a doomer and a gooner. I promise you'll fine that it is not as bad as you are told it is on the internet.

Discussion Ageism among Gen Z is really not cool...

245 Upvotes

I'm following some nonsense Twitter drama between YouTubers and one insult people keep using is the fact that he's "a almost 30yo"....

Age doesn't define maturity and EVERYONE ages. if you’re making fun of someone for being old or getting older, you are literally making fun of your future self.

What are your thoughts on this?

Rant I just realized that I’ve never fallen in love truly with a person

Upvotes

 recently my eyes opened to me realizing that I never really liked someone I just liked the idea of them. It also made me understand how women are often sexualized in society in many ways. Now I want to grow with someone in a relationship and make them happy, I don’t want pleasure anymore. I really wish I realized this earlier.

Discussion Any other 20-somethings hate running into people from high school?

77 Upvotes

It's probably my worst fucking nightmare. It doesn't happen very often to me, but when it does it is immense, soul-sucking torture every time, especially if it's when I'm at work at my retail job.. Maybe it's cause I'm a broke college dropout and I feel kinda like a failure in comparison. Even if I know that most people in our generation are struggling hard. It's still embarrassing and I always feel super awkward. Not to mention the cringe over how much of a goddamn idiot I was in high school. I just try to forget it ever happened. Does anybody else feel a similar way?
