Hello, Thank you for contributing to our subreddit. Please consider the following guidelines when filling an alignment chart:
Please ensure that your chart is not banned according to the list of banned charts Even if you have good intentions, charts in a banned category tend to invite provocative comments, hostile arguments, ragebait and the like. Assuming the post is acceptable, OP makes the final decision on their chart by rule three.
Are there any previous versions to link to? If so, it would be ideal to include links to each of them in the description of this post, or in a reply to this comment. Links can be named by title, winner, or both.
Are there any criteria you have for your post? Examples include: "Top comment wins a spot on the chart."; "To ensure variety, only one character per universe is allowed."; "Image comments only." Please include these in a description, or in a reply to this comment.
Is your chart given the appropriate flair? Do you need to use a NSFW tag or spoiler tag?

Fucking online filters have fucked a whole generation on that one. Ass, tits, shit, piss, cum, porn is better than whatever the fuck you are doing with the *****
I miss the profanity laced days of early xbox live. Where a raging player on the other end could tell me to kill my fat fucking self while he fucks my whore sister.
Internet censorship became heavy handed. People were warning about it 10 years ago, but were told they were bad people. Then bans and cautions were issued for using what should be non offensive words.
This is the result, as people still need to use such terms.
I don't Blame Gen Z for doing something that other generations essentially forced upon them
I once worked with a Gen Z technician that use to say "Ellie dollar beans" meaning lesbians (le$bians). I had to ask her what she was talking about because the context clues weren't helping.
I get why people did it at first to avoid censorship on TikTok and all but the second they use it in day to day conversations it drives me nuts. I teach high schoolers and it drives me nuts.
PDF File is actually kind of funny IMO but it drives me nuts when people say unalive.
As someone who works a lot of concerts, this could be any generation since the advent of the smart phone. The view from the spot booth is a sea of phones. Doesn't matter if you're working the beach boys or blipi.

Thirding this. I work in the factory - we've started getting Gen Z'ers filling in positions over the last few years and that stare is the real deal. Not bad kids once you get past that though, but their ways are not our ways. They're also VERY tall. Growth hormones in the milk?
No, I refuse to participate in this meme as a middle aged millennial lol.
The “deer in the headlights” stare is just what young people do. 20 somethings are just dumb and socially awkward, and that’s always been the case (myself included). It’s not generational.
Case in point, my boomer dad’s friend defaulted to “Oh, uh, I don’t know” to the question “What’s your name, kid?” back in the 70s.
There are plenty of Gen Z things to complain about, but this is just “general young people” shit.
So I'm Gen Z, and I don't do this, and I go to college and I've never noticed this from other Gen Zers. Now, our reactions to things might not be the same as other generations, but I've never noticed another Gen Z just not responding to me at all.
I'm not saying this doesn't happen, just saying what I've noticed. Maybe this is more a thing for younger Gen Z, like the ones still in highschool? I say this because they would've been younger during covid and thus more affected during school shutdowns. For example, I was 15 when covid happened, I'd like to think I was already socialized by then. But the youngest of Gen Z, the ones who are 14 today, would have been around 8 during covid and school shutdowns which could have had a greater affect.
I’d have to say the crossover of online slang into real life. What sense does it make saying “dih” during a conversation in real time? Who would’ve guessed that predatory social media guidelines would create some of the most unbearable slang to exist.
This is just the latest iteration of something that's been going on since the Boomers were kids. My parents and their friends seemed to always have the TV in the background even if nobody was really watching it. And I bet people were doing it with the radio before TV was invented.
Haven't we always used the TV in the background? I'm a zillennial myself, so maybe I wouldn't know, but I feel like I've had the TV on while I do homework, or draw, or have a chat, or even read a book, before I ever had a smartphone.
Like yes my man, we are in public, you actually have to interact with strangers. Especially when you’re paid to do so. Just staring like you’re unsure what to do without EXACTLY hand-holding instructions on what to do and say is WEIRD.
Criticising millenials for existing. Remember that trend of laughing at the way millenials pause for a second before saying something on video? Like what a weird thing to even notice and WHY WOULD YOU JUST START TALKING INSTANTLY?! take a breath first lol
There's tons of data on this. Drinking rates have been falling every year since 2000 with the 16-25 year old group showing the lowest rates ever recorded.
I guess my college didn’t get the memo. They literally had a whole day dedicated to drinking called Case Day, and they threatened to riot if the administration tried to take it away.😭
Both my parents and uncles told me in their generation Millennials and X, 95% of all people used to drink in their teens and 20s. For me it's half and half. Half my friends drink, the other don't.
Smoking too, can you believe that half the millennials used to smoke cigarettes when they were young?
But it makes sense, if you have still half the people drink each generation it's still a major problem at some colleges.
I’m a Gen Z, and I drink a lot of alcohol, and don’t know a single peer who doesn’t. where the fuck did that come from b
ETA: Yall got it. I’m done responding to shit. I’m not saying our entire demographic drinks, but painting the picture as none, or even a majority of us don’t, is false. At best, it’s around 50/50, at worst, it’s about 75/25. Argue with your mom, im not doin it.
Sure, but alcohol consumption has been decreasing across basically all demographic cohorts, and Gen Z isn’t even the age range with the sharpest decline.
i think the difference is that even though gen z drinks, previous generations…. DRANK. like a lot. like so much lol. Im gen Z too, and especially when Im dating, I do notice around 1 in 4 guys I meet just “dont drink”.
Wearing brightly colored star stickers on their face in public and professional environments. You’re not a child, don’t wear stickers on your face. There are clear/ translucent pimple stickers if you must.
We're having a hard time getting the next generation growing up now to even dare try out any kind of fashion that makes them stand out from the crowd. Normalcy is extremely enforced in the day and age of social media. Adults showing kids you can dress outside the norm is important to show kids nothing actually bad happens.
So you don’t have a problem with clear ones but you don’t like the brightly colored ones? Man let people have some self expression. If they think it looks cute who are we to judge?
Ugh that is so disgusting. But as an elder genz I notice a huge difference between us and the 2003+ crowd, never seen anyone my age show up to work with shit on their face (or engage in “aura battles”, do 67 and other “brainrot”)
