The boomer frame is chronologically inaccurate, since boomers were already adults before video games were widely available in the home.

@Pat

I think the boomer is supposed to be the adult that is being critical of the children playing video games even when outdoors...

Them not growing up with video games is the whole point.

Oh, I didn't get that. Light sabers were late 70s, so I guess both of those gen X characters are actually gen X?

Also, that @MrHoesMad twitter account appears to be a fake account set up by a white racist pretending to be a black person. Most of the posts try to make the black guy look stupid.

(Notice how the avatar in the image you posted shows the black guy's eyes covered up. This is a common technique used by racists in old media to try to make black men seem less human. This is what tipped me off to the account being fake. I don't know why twitter let's racists like that keep posting while shadow-banning legit account holders.)

@Pat Huh. The resolution was so low, I thought it was kinda like Geordi LaForge style stuff over the eyes.

Geordi is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. That was no coincidence that that character had his eyes covered. It was the racist producers trying to make the black guy look less human. Covering the eyes of black men in film and TV is a very common form of subliminal racism.

@Pat Huh, never thought of that. Well, then I'm glad DS9 redeemed by making a black person the badass commander that he is. Even some episodes in that series that revolves around racism (that Avery Brooks directed himself as well).
