"Maybe I'm problematic but I give a pass to a boomer who means well even if it's kind of cringe." If you must know, I based my entire personality on Seasons 2-5 of "Girls," and I'm a huge gamer. "When my daughter came out to her 84 year old grandmother (not complaining, she was overwhelmingly loving and supportive) she got to spend the next hour hearing about every queer person my mom has ever encountered/worked with/been friends with in her entire life and their individual stories," one person wrote. "The highlight was when she was the manager at a dry cleaner's and SO many lesbians applied there, which clearly meant lesbians have an affinity for professionaly cleaning garments." Another person added, "i love when old people try and be supportive lmao." "This is exactly how my mom texts," one more person said. "i thought this was sweet as a half asian myself, that she was connecting to alyssa in her own way and putting out unifying energy in a time where we are particularly divided, showing a pro immigrant stance when the us has been coming down hard against immigration, but maybe i was wrong ๐," another Reddit user wrote. And finally, another commentor said, "Maybe I'm problematic but I give a pass to a boomer who means well even if it's kind of cringe."
