Well, unless you were gay. Or trans. Or didn't perform your gender correctly.

Hell, even in The Matrix they were going to have Switch be an explicitly trans character but got blocked by a producer.
Trans character being called Switch is such a J K R*wling-ass name
As I look back, if I had to pick a decade to go back to and live in, yeah it would be the 90's.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a meme come from a 5SecondFilm before. I love it.
For the uninitiated, Robodog
Let's start memeing the shit out of them
This specific enunciation of "shit" is forever burned into my vocabulary. I love it so much.
People forget but in thr 90s the government was so concerned about people giving their children food poisoning that all meat was cooked onto shoe leather
The 90's may not have been a culinary golden age, but man I wish that was the biggest problem we were facing today.
you know, i forgot theres so much more thai food now
There were more problems in the 90s, we just lacked the hyper-awareness that we have today
The biggest difference between the 90s and now is that in the 90s we had the feeling that things were being better and that it would continue in this direction.
We might have less problems now but unlike the 90s now it's really hard to look forward and think things will get better.
The 90ies, where germany still taxed hoarded money, great times..
They haven’t since then. How stupid.
Granted, it's not affordable. But the dream remains.
I love how it's the 90s of at least two different centuries 😄
Llllllllliterally
Man I miss the 90’s.
I realise the 90s is park nostalgia for a lot of people... But it was still extremely shit for alot of people, particularly lgbtq. And most non coloured people in the US were still blissfully unaware of just how fucked the police and justice system were to minorities.
Yeah, me too man, kindergarten was dope.
The 90's were the best football seasons Cleveland ever had
Yeah, who knew.
It was a functional kind of stupid. Fukuyama infamously declared "I guess we're safe forever." We saw a global environmental threat... and fucking solved it. Third-party politics almost kinda stood a chance, right up until they ruined everything.
I am well aware of the bigotry, extremism, and violence that steeply diminished over time. Right now is still worse for glaringly obvious reasons.
