Man. Those guys reeeeeally loved saying the r-word huh.
It’s kinda fucked up how acceptable it was even ten years ago.
Also these nerds unapologetically really liked the dark knight rises lol.
Interesting thought. Do you have any examples of words that have become popular again due to th swing back towards edginess?

Historically? Its hard to say. But I’ve definitely heard the r word a lot more recently. I also think you can definitely look at the stuff around Columbine, the efforts to ban violent video games, etc around the Clinton administration as a more woke period followed by a more edgy period post 9/11 that didn’t really end until the 2016 election.
