4. "I notice a lot of millennials online being ignorantly confident about how they think Gen Z collectively grew up, which is annoying. Like, I notice a lot of millennials gatekeeping older Gen Z from the '00s, for example (some really can't tell the difference between someone my age and someone born in 2008? They think we all grew up the same). And for some reason, a lot feel the need to give opinions that seem to fume with a superiority complex on certain topics having to do with Gen Z."
"Like, I see millennials all over YouTube comments sections basically saying they think it's because we never had a childhood as to why they think most of us are aging rapidly and things like that. But I feel like they'd be saying that even if we were 'aging slowly,' then it'd be 'Gen Z never played outside, so that's why they don't have as many scars and wrinkles as previous generations...' so I feel stuff like that is just bias. ... You may hate on us less than previous generations hated on you, but having a superiority complex is about just as bad, and most millennials seem oblivious to this. A lot of millennials will say they love Gen Z, but then do things like this."

14. "Millennials really appear to be horrible parents, raising children that nobody wants to be around. SO MANY children of millennials seem very intellectually stunted, behaviorally challenged, excessively defiant, tech-addicted, and socially inhibited. And then they blame it on the same disability THAT I HAVE, when I can clearly see that parenting is at least part of the issue. Like, no, [a diagnosis of autism and/or ADHD doesn't automatically explain away every behavior I've seen, and parenting still matters]. Maybe YOU'RE the problem. Like, kids from many households seem to have the issues I used to only see in children going through abuse or neglect. You put your safety at risk babysitting these kids. Do better, guys. And you guys of all people should know how wrong it is to give internet access to your child, yet they all have phones and tablets, and you still plaster pictures of them all over social media."
"I mean, at least Gen X'ers have the excuse of not knowing how that stuff works. Man, I don't even care about getting downvoted, so many of you are messing up your kids' ability to make friends and be likable for the rest of their lives, and you don't even care. Shoutout to the millennial parents who are caring, protective, and involved. But from what I've seen, most of y'all aren't."
