      This meme is like 10 years old now.

      The update is twitter is a Nazi ai generating CP. Facebook is boomers getting scammed. And LinkedIn is lunatics bragging about their 24/7 work lifestyle.

      If you came away from that movie thinking Bender is cool, you need to rewatch it. He’s an angry violent kid with a broken spirit due to dad’s emotional and physical abuse, and he’s inheriting his dad’s substance abuse issues too. You might think he’s “cool” because of his disaffected attitude towards the school’s authority figures, but he’s likewise disaffected about friends and family. He’s a lonely, nihilistic, troubled kid acting out and headed down a bad path. That’s hardly “cool” and has a lot of similarities to Twitter/X’s perceived user based these days.

      Probably more accurate now with x’s remaining clientele. Not that they’re cool and rebellious, but they think they are.

      A cool and rebellious act to mask some severe daddy issues. “No dad, what about you!”

        Which is further supported when Vernon pulls him into the back room and tells him what a chicken shit he really is, begging Bender to punch him in the face…and all Bender can do is start to cower.
