@@NatalieLovesxo I fully agree with you. Although it didn't appear as though the creator himself realized that. Especially using the inflammatory term trans-phobic a dozen times. Which is odd because Tom had a trans person in his video "Snowflakes". And she had commented he was one of the nicest guys she ever met. Although I think I see why he did the video "Names" now. Hope this helps you too :) Enjoy...
@Queen_Cnidarian bro they did go to school they just talked the whole time😂😂 they didn't show up to class because school is for losers according to them
I've always been confused by people who criticize people for using modern technology, using the exact same technology for that purpose on a day to day basis

That age reveal was a shock, I expected him to be at least 50….he is literally younger than my parents yet pretends like his generation was some ancient and perfect one
He's three years younger than me. One thing I specifically remember from "back in my day" was conservative pearl-clutchers trying to censor music and video games. They called Pokemon satanic FFS.
Gen Z has grown up being able to accidentally see porn just by trying to find information about... anything, watch wars unfold in real time, see actual executions, and if you're American, gone through school shooting drills. If there's anything I'm worried about for younger generations, it's that they'll be influenced by a media environment that's too free. I'm as old as this dude. A little older, actually. If he thinks Z kids grew up in a censored bubble, he's a complete idiot. You know what I couldn't have ever found when I was, you know, like 8? Uncensored war footage. Hardcore fetish pornography. Nazi talking points. Whenever I watched something on TV that was aimed towards me it was vetted by studios instead of shat out of a content farm and shoved into my face because of algorithms. I didn't have metal detectors in my school, we never did school shooting drills, school shootings were rare and we knew the schools' names by heart. The insecurity of these men that the youth think differently than them is palpable. They tell themselves that they're tough because kids nowadays don't say slurs and think about gender expression. Cause the truth, that Z has grown up in an environment of unspeakable horror at their fingertips and danger no matter where they go, and those kids think people who think like he does are weak and stupid, scares him. Cause how the fuck are you gonna tell someone who grew up being able to watch people get killed by tanks and had to hide in a closet as part of a drill in case someone decides to come to his school to kill everyone in it that the real thing they need to be afraid of is people who express their gender identity differently?
@@Nothingseen thank you for understanding. If he understood what we got into with a Ipad and parents too busy to check on us he would be in shock. Everything you said was completely accurate and I saw it all before I could read "took" and "were" out load and pronounce it correctly or even worst, before I realized there were more numbers than 10. I really wonder how Gen-Alpha is doing...
@@Nothingseen That's a lovely analysis of the environment I've grown up in; so plainly correct. I've come to identify the misunderstanding: As our environment was so unshielded from the brutality of the world, growing up... the oldest of my generation (now as young adults- I'm 21 for example) holds value in SELF-REGULATING. "Cancelling" is not institutional, everyone's communities hold different thresholds of patience for certain behaviors or ideologies. Older generations see our sensitivity as unfounded, because they simply hadn't been exposed to global information all at once, or the wild west of liveleak and 4chan and shady forums. Which hey, is understandable, but cmon have a little perspective here! It isn't BECAUSE our environment was shielded, it's the opposite. I truly don't want Gen A kids to learn about war and violence and sex at the ages of 6-10, and hell, NEVER to see the unfiltered media we have.
As a 34 yr old Canadian, can confirm; we all stopped going to school and are either homeless or own homes by 17. Then you make a family at 18 and die around 40 from old timey disease or get sent out on an iceberg. That's probably the reason we never overtook America, and Tom is obsessed with them.
putting this here because it's a high comment 😔👊 it was best put by someone I saw comment on Instagram so shoutout to 3 stokesy because I'm copying and pasting anyways *Do NOT EVER get Established Titles.* It's an insult to traditional Scottish heraldry and a fucking hate it. Firstly, you don't get to be a Lord or Lady because of it, you don't even get to actually own the land. Secondly, it completely ignores the history of the Highlands. The Highland clans held the land in common not in the hands of a single Lord or person, this system was eventually changed after the defeat of the Jacobite risings. Most clans lost their official status and many clan chiefs were essentially turned into the worst landlords ever who would kick tens of thousands off their land to replace them with sheep, which were more profitable. Lordships and titles in the UK are either hereditary (which is uncommon now) or must be bestowed by the King (usually on advice of government for an act of good service.) Now we got a bunch of Americans adopting plots of our land going 'look at me I'm a lord now!' after we had our fucking lands stolen for sheep, larping as a Highland Landlord is frankly not something to be proud of.
I hate the "don't know what a woman is or what bathroom to use" comments because trans people know EXACTLY what they are and what bathroom they should use. It's TRANSPHOBES proclaiming that we're all confused.
My favorite part about this is Tom says "your generation stay in your parents basement until you're 35"... He's 34 if someone did that they would be in his generation 💀
@@MrRunsWthSizors The most important point is that "his generation" is the one that's stereotyped as living in their parent's basements until they're 35. He's pretending he's an old man who's tough as nails, but he's a millennial. The ones that all this shit used to always be said about until Z started being able to vote.
The best part about tom Macdonald is that he's an American nationalist from Canada and acts like he's a boomer when he's a millennial. Its hard to believe he's not a satire
It's neat that old people are allowed to say anything they want about any race/sexuality/gender/whatever & it's okay because they "came from a different time" but being young is inherently evil even if you didn't do anything wrong.
Glad the video mentions the FCC. As a GenXer I've made this point over and over about people acting like censorship is a new phenomenon. The FCC went into effect 88 years ago.
The thing about his “your generation can’t even decide on which bathroom to use” is the fact that trans people DO know the bathroom they want to use, it’s people like him that are stopping them.
Pretty sure it was Anthony Hudson who said on one of the Gaylords of Darkness podcast that the bathroom panic boils down to society's fear of cis men and I haven't been the same since that epiphany. Because it isn't about the trans people but the regular cisgender freaks who simultaneously don't exist because "not all men" but do because "my daughter won't date until she's married". Heteronormate logic is exhausting
@@caithenry8429 they are the very problem they complain about. Yup it's wild how dumb the logic is. Especially because I usually protected my trans friends when they went to the bathroom so like straight cap on their end fr
it's also funny because it implies choosing a bathroom gender is some important decision and not doing so consistently reflects on your personality. it's literally just a room where you go to piss and look at your phone.
@@caithenry8429 Hm.. Wasn't it an original arguement that perverts were going to take advantage of using trans as a cover to get into safe spaces. It became increasingly easier because to become trans is as easy as saying it rather than going through a medical process, etc for like 'proof'. 🤔 I know there are solutions out there but I can't think of any to fix that situation.
“My generation shot guns, road dirt bikes, and went camping for fun. Yours stares at their phones all day and dance on the internet in your sister’s underwear.” Buster, I’m a very feminine man who likes to wear feminine attire, and I like camping, grew up as a Boy Scout, and currently own several firearms. Just cuz I wear skirts and striped thigh highs doesn’t mean I can’t pull a trigger
the repeated transphobia + "my generation doesn't CARE what YOU GUYS think we don't mind OTHER PEOPLE'S opinions we don't like CANCEL CULTURE!! AUUUGHHGGHGHH" is so silly
I love it when older generations and adults can't take criticism, respect the generations THEY raised or care about their opinions. Means they were terrible parents and probably shouldn't have had future generations if they dont like change.
@@idontwantahandlethough Give me a moment, I’m about to go make my Gen Z siblings tell me where the time machine is. I want to sit on the couch longer too!
I love the “your generation can’t even decide which bathroom to use” line. Like, my dude, I’m fairly certain trans people HAVE decided which bathroom to use, it’s asshats like this who keep making it an issue.
"Mememememme you cant decide which bathroom to use!!" If im the pedophile then why are grown ass adults so concerned about where i, a teenager, use the restroom?
"I grew up with TV entirely uncensored" Bullshit, I'm in my 30's and I remember Spider-Man wasn't allowed to punch, and you couldn't show guns on cartoons, which is why the Yu-Gi-Oh guards just pointed instead. I think this guy just doesn't remember his childhood at all.
About the whole "Why do they only have one joke?" thing. Same reason the furry-haters only have like two jokes. Its because their understanding of the groups they hate is far too shallow to come up with any other jokes. And coming up with new jokes would require them learn more which they refuse to do.
@@rekaivns hes comparing the hatred both groups receive and how both groups get laughed at with like 2 jokes, not comparing transphobia to being a furry
What's crazy to me is older generations strictly judged people based on identities such as race, gender, or class and literally l*nched people who they deemed less than. So idk wtf he's on about. He must have missed that part of his history classes because he was too busy driving to his full time job at 14 so he could move out by 17...
Even if he wasn’t trying to identify with older generations, dude literally bashed trans people then did a 180 immediately saying “my generation doesn’t judge based on gender.” Immediate contradiction. Also, ok I know trans people don’t share a collective brain cell but in my experience on average the trans community has been more AGAINST judging based on race, gender, economic status, etc. But yeah, if he’s trying to identify with boomers, lol um yeah they absolutely judged based on those things.
I honestly feel like the people that say "my generation didn't judge based on race, gender, or class" are the people who are white, cis male, and middle class, so obviously THEY weren't judged when they were young and they also didn't judge their friends (also white, cis male, and middle class) and now they assume that it was the same for everybody and that it's the younger generation's fault
there's a certain subset of people who view the 90s/early 2010s as this golden era where everyone lived in harmony and no one got offended over "jokes".
"Your generation doesnt fight. Doesn't like having rights." That moment when you oppress trans people, then turn around and say it's their fault they have no rights.
"Our generation wants the truth and the facts no matter how uncomfortable they are" Trans people existed in your generation too Tom, in the millions! What a boot-licking establishment dickbag.
I'm a young millennial and I will say that I didn't find out about any trans issues until I was in college and when I originally expressed skepticism, a friend said "Why does it matter? Does it make them less than? How does it impact your life?" And those were very impactful statements that I now ask myself often and it has made me much more openminded and empathetic. I do think that as a millennial gender as a construct and being trans was not well understood or expressed by my peers. But I'm glad to see it change. Being rigid and unable to learn from older/younger people is what makes you a bitter, uncultured idiot as you age. It is very important to listen and take in new information and blindly stating vast generalities about entire generations younger or older is something else I hope to see die out. Just say you can't think critically when new info is presented and move on.
in mid-2021 I had an old bearded man who looked like he hadn't bathed in ages come into my work maskless (because he had "health issues") and buy like 10 packs of smokes before ranting to me about how "tom macdonald is gonna drop something later today and blow all these snowflakes out of the water." that man remains the only tom macdonald fan i've ever met and yet i'm still sure he's a pretty accurate representation of his whole fanbase
sorry your dad does shit like that. you're automatically cool in my book because you're trans (same as me :D), but the fact that you continue to persist against this kind of shit is commendable. slayyyy

I know it's bs because of all the censorship just in anime for the sake of airing it in America and such for kids. He would've been like 9 or so when things like that were going on and within the age demographic for such shows
yeah like,, if anything younger generations are less censored? he's 34 so maybe he's talking about the early internet and how it was basically the wild west? but then that contradicts his little "your generations are always on your phones >:(" because that means his generation was always on the family PC sending each other shock sites and rickrolls
You know, I don’t care what he’s actually saying. If you say “You gotta fight for your right to PAAAAAAARTAAAAAY” with so little energy, you don’t deserve that right.

I'm 2 years older than old mcdonald and I got my license at 18, got my first job at 19, and moved out at 21. I feel like those are more in line with reality and even then, I was very privileged and fortunate to get to do those things so relatively young, many people i knew lived at home for much longer. This guy literally wouldn't have even graduated high school until 2006 or 2007, why is he acting 70? lmao
Yeah I'm 12 years older than him and I don't know anyone who got a license at 14. I did have a job when I was 12, and I technically moved out when I was 18 (went away to college but came back when I was 22). It's almost like everyone has different timelines and this guy is an idiot.
I moved out at 18, but that's because I joined the military and didn't have to worry about housing costs. I'm also old enough that I was in the position to buy a home in the early 2000s, before prices went crazy. Looking at how much prices have gone up these days, while wages haven't kept pace, its no wonder Millennials are struggling.

This dude IS the perfect counter-culture rapper. He's so counter-culture, he's counter-counter-culture, he just did a 180 back to being as traditional as possible.
His whole personality is being counter culture, so when the culture shifted towards openness and acceptance he went the opposite way. He wants to be oppressed so badly it's sad.
@@nekokun354 Saying the culture went towards opennes and acceptance is like saying the Christian culture was about love and compassion. It's true only you fit in. This new culture need some well formulated, good faith criticism form the inside though not from reactionary assholes.

Literally, I got my beginners permit a few days ago and the limit here in Florida is 15. Maybe he's from a different state or country or timeline cause I've never heard anyone having it at age 14 either
I got my permit at 14 (Canada), but I didn’t use it until I was 15. And none of my friends got it until later because the insurance gets too high for a driver that young.
I'm 39, but I'm not American or Canadian. In my country you couldn't get a learner's permit to drive with a licensed driver, during the day, until you were 16. Tom is kind of like a meme of almost everything that comes to mind when I think about single guys my age...
You can get learners permit early in special cases but like not THAT early I feel, there's laws meant to cover the legal grey zone of farms and kids driving the vehicles there basically 😂
I always found it weird about people bragging about leaving their families at an early age. Like, your family life was so bad you needed to escape it before you could even legally sign a contract? Are you okay?? There’s nothing wrong with staying with a family that loves you and helping them. People flexing depressing lives like it’s an achievement or something.
@@owlhuman8312 In some cultures, that's literally exactly how it works. A lot of Latin American/Hispanic or Indo-Asian cultures have the younger members support and care for the older members who often live with them and their spouses or children. Sometimes in the same house or maybe in a little side or out building. It's not weird to live with some family for different circumstances.
As someone the exact age as this guy.... none of this makes any sense lol. ive never seen someone try so hard to fit into his parents generation before.. especially someone with face tats. This is actually incredible...
“My generation, we had our drivers license by 14, job by 16” He was 14 in 2002… minimum age for drivers licenses and permits went up in the 80s and 90s, at least in the US. Unless he truly is the MacDonald who had a farm and needed a license to drive a tractor which can be supplied to people under 15-16 who live on farms, then he wouldn’t even have his license by 14?? (He grew up in BC, Canada where the min age is 16) Plus you can get a job by 16 nowadays and I know many people who started working at 14. Idk about the moving out by 17 thing, the only time I’ve heard of that happening is with really rich kids or kids from troubled homes…
"Your generation is living in their parents' basement until they're 35." Literally all examples he's seen of this must necessarily havr been of his generation or older.
Yeah if he's 34 then "your generation lives in parents' basement until 35" could only possibly be talking about OLDER generations since he says "your generation" and not "my generation". That would be hilarious if it turned out he was actually attacking gen X the entire time.
Fascists always project. 100% of the time when they accuse others of something they are talking about themselves. Once you understand that basic tenet, everything they say begins to make sense. They are simply trying to redirect every reason people should despise them into some convenient target.
in the u.s, since covid, rent has almost tripled so with student loan debts among other things, we can’t afford any places to live so most of us are stuck at our parents houses out of necessity. it’s that or being homeless and they are treated like crap on the streets
@@amandarae2755 But in his eyes that's your own fault, you should have gotten a job at 17 and never gone to college. Nobody in his generation needed doctors, teachers, engineers and all those other useless scientists 😀
this isn't even a diss anymore since inflation has affected globally. house market is sky high n so is rents.. and it will take like 4 more years for everything to go back to normal..
he says "my generation has uncensored everything" but if he's talking about his generation where they put stickers on albums that have bad words on it i cant say i agree
Wasn't there also an explicit push to stop kids from being *able* to access albums with those stickers on? (Like, if I'm remembering right, that would *absolutely* count as censorship in the way he's pretending to be complaining about, which only makes this funnier)
"my generation has 2 genders, your generation has 89,347" and every time someone complains we add another one at the time of this comment we just cleared 100,000
I don't really keep up on internet culture and I'm not on tiktok so I assumed he was referencing something that I simply didn't know about. But it's good to know other people also don't know why he was so specific in that one instance. 🤣
Honestly as someone whose kinda active on trans subreddits and stuff it sounds like he’s genuinely reading trans girls stories of like signs they saw when they were younger bc I genuinely can’t understand where else he could’ve gotten that idea from lmfao, it sounds like he’s an egg trying not to crack (an egg is a trans person that doesn’t realize their trans yet)
Also, every boy I knew growing up did that. I dressed in my dad's stuff. You don't even need to be transgender to do that. Kids do that all the time. It's called dress up play. He's like" I was never a child. I came out a full grown man with face tattoos because I make good decisions. I left my mother's womb at 33 and moved out"
"Im a 62 year old grandma who absolutely hates rap music but Tom is different and isnt afraid to speak up for what we believe in" -- Every comment on every Tom Macdonald video
and worse how a lot of us deliberately googled those things after being described what it was in high detail. People would go "don't google that video, it's of a man shoving a jar up his boochie and it breaks inside" and we went "yes i want to see THAT, mr google"
@@herberttheturtle The internet being more censored but also far more accessible & bad at actually censoring anything doesn't mean society as a whole is more censored. You could even acknowledge the existence of bi people in TV shows for adults in the 90's or the early 2000's. There was a long period where cartoon criminals who shoot people weren't allowed to use guns to do it.
I'm older than him... and the only license my generation could get at 14 was a motorcycle license. And my generation absolutely had a ton of people living with their parents as long as they could
You could get a motorcycle liscense before a drivers liscense? Lmao, were they trying to get kids killed? If anything there should be a higher bar for motorcyclists since its so dangerous. Though I guess you are less dangerous to *other* drivers on a motorcycle.
Right? It's hard out here! Especially currently, if you're single and live in a place where the cost of living is so high that you're living paycheck to paycheck making 85K a year.
I go back and forth on that talking point; like because of the housing bubble, a lot of our lower income gen-x'ers (parents of today's millennial) they ended up on more temporary housing solutions (duplexes, townhomes, apartments) than the homeowners of the previous generation. Less space, so probably a lot of millennials moved out...
@@Jinsoku440 Either way, he's not really talking about millennial when he says "my generation." He's just appealing to a general audience to say here's all the things going wrong now and here's how great things used to be. Pure stereotype with zero nuance. I've only come across this guy in bits and pieces, and it's always embarrassing. Like his whole identity is anti-woke.
it’s almost endearing how these people see the world so simply. Everything fits into little boxes in their heads that never overlap or relate. it’s sad, but adorable at the same time. Like a little kid pointing at the neighbors dog and calling it their dogs name because they only know of one dog personally.
"and living in your parents' basement until your 35." I hope his parents aren't too annoyed by hearing his tiktoks every day, still a year to go before they're free of him
😂 😂Exactly! He’s 34! So people older than him are living in their parents basement and he’s upset about it and taking that out on the….younger generation?
He’s not even 35 yet, and he’s saying gen z will live with their parents until they’re 35? How would he know! The oldest of gen z still have a full decade until they’re 35!
"My generation grew up on uncensored everything, your generation censors everything" Says the guy who is litterly censoring swear words in his tiktok video.
As a millennial Transgender who is also also Canadian, I think he should be excluded from millennial too. Given he wants to LARP as a 70 year old, I don't even think he'll mind.
, " My Generation did censor stuff" I mean they try to censor Pokémon, Digimon, Sims, Teen Titans, different gems of music, they censored video game won't try to hell they even try to censor The Simpsons and Family Guy and I grew up when the generation he's white knighting used to send angry letters to TV station for showing non-Christian friendly content but you know pop off lol. Like this person's whole entire personality is so punchable
when i was on a study abroad i moved into a flat w a bunch of other international students. one of them who was like a finance and business student and the first thing he told me about himself was 'i like controversial music' and then he played one of this guy's songs in full. it was nearly five minutes long and it felt like ten million years.
