Things in RECENT times you can’t quite believe we’re seen as ‘ok’

[LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet]

The Jeremy Kyle Show. Middle class man shouts at poor people who aren’t terribly bright, for not being perfect humans. So pleased it ended.

On X Factor and BGT when they used to show ‘funny’ auditions of people who believed they had talent but really didn’t so got laughed at. They then brought them back for the final to do a humiliating routine live so they could be laughed at more.

Supernanny. Childless woman who can barely speak properly pulls lemon faces, tells parents they’re shit and Instills sudden and sharp changes in the child’s home where actual camera are focussing on them when they’re distraught and upset

Sun sea and suspicious parents. Mum and dad spying on their adult children from a rooftop in Greece whilst said child gets off with a stranger. CREEPY!

😂😂,I never actually used it but seeing the results on those that did put me off for life!

@AttilaTheUOkHun it is to me

As recent as this year- absolute tv dross- I'm a celebrity, Love Island, Loose Women, now Loose Men, the Kardashions, anything with Katie Price, or ex-Towie people - they are programmes designed for the thick and brain dead.

A fair bit of current trans ideology and the promotion of gender-reassignment surgery for kids under 18 despite statistics showing that many girls in particular regret gender reassignment surgery later on in life. There's a reason we don't let kids make these kinds of major decisions in most areas of life, they can hang fire til 18 and they're legally adults then do what they like.

Boris Johnson apparently being loved by so many people despite being an absolute amoral shitshow of a human being who lies and lies over and over again to feed his own arrogant delusions.

In 2019, Mr Justice Hayden who observed: ‘I cannot think of any more obviously fundamental human right than the right of a man to have sex with his wife,’ when presiding over a case where a man wanted to be able to have sex with his mentally ill wife even if she was unable to give her consent (and some people defended this statement and took umbrage when female MPs pointed out that it's the same as legitimising marital rape).

Anyone fancy a sweet in the shape of a cigarette??

Half caste is still very common in Cornwall! I didn’t even realise it wasn’t ok until I moved away and I’m mixed race myself!

one day we will be saying this about 'Naked Attraction' i'm sure!

That many people still think it is fine to laugh at people with speech impediments.

I really don't think this was ever seen as ok?

Definitely was not ever okay!

Quite happy to say it about Naked attraction now

you lost me at the bit at Jo Frost barely being able to speak. Rude and sneery.

Same here in late 70s. Though you had to have a note from your parents to say you were allowed to smoke before you could use it.

So glad I'm not the only person who hates this!

Gillian McKeith poking around People's poos in a Tupperware tub

Yes, it's surreal to me. I would be struggling and wheezing and it didn't seem to bother the smokers at all.

We had a mobile for our common room, the teachers didn't go in there and kids would just smoke weed/ take acid all day long possibly leaving to go to the odd lesson, if they could be arsed. Friends 30 year old drug dealer boyfriend would turn up to sell weed to the students.

Lost my innocent in that common room I did! Mid 90s

I don't think anyone apart from Gillian and her agent thought that was OK at any point in time...💩

Just realised I'd better clarify lost my innocence. I didn't shag anyone there. I did smoke a spliff for the first time.

There was me thinking one of your teachers turned up and...

Do you remember when Heat did a set of free stickers and one of them was “Help! Harvey’s going to eat me!” about Jordan’s son? They were pulled up on it at the time but amazing it even got to print

It was not seen as okay. Your mum is lying to you.

Matt Hancock on IACGMOOH (and coming third)

The way disabled children are treated at school and often have to fight for an appropriate education and support

Giving young children access to screens as a default

Politicians breaking their own rules and lying with zero accountability

Normalisation of drinking 1-2 bottles of wine a night

Oh dear, OP- looks like the thread didn't go as planned. You might know that MNetters these days can't keep anything light-hearted...what a shame- it could have been quite a fun whimsical threa

Cramming kids into the back of the car, the more the merrier.
Young kids driving tractors and balancing on farm machinery. How none of my cousins got killed is a miracle.
