I'm a little concerned about Gen Alpha, only because I feel like a lot of adults are openly planning to take advantage of them.

I am more concerned about the media and parenting.
fr, plus there’s really no spaces for kids and tweens to be kids and tweens anymore
Well duh of course it is considering that almost everything after 2017 is trash as far as media goes. And no, it isn't the same as the the previous ''this generation bad because PHONES/COMPUTERS BAD!!''. We had phones since like 4th grade and computers since we became sentient and were normal, it's not about that, this is legitimate brainrot, I mean just look at the stuff they're consuming. I always cringe when I see my younger cousins.
And, holy hell she has a badass outfit!
yeah, i wouldn’t want to be a gen alpha kid on the internet either
Stuff like "Gen Alpha is crazy!1!1!1!1!1!1!" to me is not very different from how literally every other generation being complained about so I can safely ignore stuff like that. I don't see how Gen Alpha is super different from any previous generation when they were around the same age.
It's pretty funny to me that the criticisms that were made about millennials are now made verbatim against zedders without a shred of irony or memory. It's like boomers completely glossed over the fact they were saying millenials are spoiled, want everything handed to them, can't hold down a job, and they are not saying the exact same things about zedders while millenials, now that they are all grown up, have become part of the mainstream I guess and are not the topic of any criticism anymore.
Some "millennials bad" arguments are right like being shit parents and incredibly entitled though that's mostly due to capitalism exploiting them beyond relief and pushing this extreme "me me me" mentality respectively.
Young people bad and stupid 😡😡😡!!!!!!! My generation good and smart 😃😃😃!!!!!!!
Can someone tell me what this is about? I am afraid of clicking that.
The absolute state of Gen Alpha
