when i was 13. we had a whole culture about expressing and living yourself fully. albeit its not free of being called names because of things we liked but it sidnt stop us.
i dont see any similar vibe from the youngster these days and the only one i noticed are the ‘cringe’ culture.
my fav manga is called Eyeshield 21. the first and only exposure i got to american football. i love it, but actually playing that sport? big naw bruh
