      I’m sorry, maybe I’m OOTL, but what about this is particularly boomerish? And why all the hate?

        This guy posts like he’s a boomer that just got a forwarded email to his Yahoo account and this is Facebook. Every post.

          Took a look at his posts. I mean, yeah, a lot of them are kinda just dad jokes and/or only chuckle-funny, not real funny, but I don’t see the boomerishness. I think that word has kinda just become a slur for people online who one doesn’t like at this point.

            He posts some rather sexist and mysoginystic posts that are generally referred to as boomer humor, that’s where it comes from.

              Okay. I mean, are they like old-timey sexist jokes or something? Because if you’re saying modern humor isn’t sexist/racist/whatever-ist, I’d strongly beg to differ.

                Take a look for yourself. Normally if you call something boomer humor though you’re not referring to anything modern.
