About

The 90s Sucked or Gross, That Was Really Sexist is a webcomic and reaction image in which a woman uses Netflix to watch a movie from the 1990s that she used to love and realizes that it is full of sexism, racism, homophobia and transphobia, saying in the last panel, "The 90s sucked." The comic was created by artist Dublah and was originally posted to Tumblr in March 2015. Over the following years, it became the subject of memes as a reaction image, typically used to relay the feeling of rewatching or reexperiencing something you used to love that you find to be offensive or bad upon reexperiencing it.

As the movie plays, she slowly realizes that the movie is more offensive than she remembers, saying, "Gross, that was really sexist," "That seemed kindaโ€ฆ racist," "I didn't remember this movie being so homophobic," and, "I guess I forgot about all this transphobia." In the final panel she expresses, "The 90s sucked." The post garnered over 41,000 notes in 10 years.

This might be my first buried comment since my return, but fuck it

I think there was more edgy ethnic humour in the 90s and 2000s because racial tensions were slightly lower, not higher

There was this idea (true or not) that racism had mostly been defeated in the first world and as such, people felt more comfortable making these kinds of jokes around each other because we were able to ease up around each other better, we condemned racism but at the same time didnโ€™t see it in every little thing because we werenโ€™t constantly looking for it

Maybe there was some IRL shit going on behind the scenes, no decade was perfect, but you canโ€™t seriously tell me that race relations are all that much better now

The whole โ€œevery decade before the 2010sโ€™ was just the 60sโ€™ with better technologyโ€ idea is one Iโ€™m sure started with good intentions but sometimes I feel like itโ€™s lead to one or two instances of what essentially amounts to a mild degree of, well, historical revisionism (as melodramatic as that might sound)
