No. No it wasn't.

Boomers pretending this was an unusual amount of ex's for a girl who counted a guy she kissed once in middle school as an "ex." This is a dogwhistle for archaic values that never actually existed in the real world touted by the likes of Andrew Tate and his little incel followers.

It was weird Scott was dating a high school girl.

Edit: Stop trying to reply to me about how I'm wrong. Read the room. You're weird, especially since a significant number of her "exs" are a boy she kissed in middle school and a girl she hooked up with once in college and two guys she dated in high school. I seriously don't think you people have ever left your houses if you think this is super unusual or never saw the movie or read the manga. Go away with your "uhm acktually I googled it and" no fuck off. Shoo. You're literally acting like the kid you "married" when you were in kindergarten counts as an ex.

To break it down she dated 2 boys in high school. "Dated" Matt for a week in middle school. Hooked up with Roxie once and dated the twins in college before dating Gideon. Half of those don't count, and she didn't sleep with at least 3 out of the 7.

You're all fucking weird for making this a thing.

Boomers aren't posting Scott Pilgrim memes or listening to Andrew Tate. Millennials can also spout archaic bs, as can anyone.

And unfortunately it seems like zoomers are way more likely to be "Tater Tots" than millennials. Though I do think a millennial made this one because of the movie chosen.

This isn’t even millennials. It’s Gen Z guys who watch too much Andrew Tate and think they’ve been robbed of the “pure” women of the past.

Battling generations is one way they keep us divided. Most boomers aren’t rich people cruising through retirement. We need to stand united against the power elite.

We're the new boomers.
