uni conformity
I am a millennial who went back to college after years away, and I was actually making some social headway with the younger students. I thought I was doing alright blending in. Then I committed what apparently counts as a mortal sin on campus. It started when someone brought up her new Labubu. I made the mistake of saying what I genuinely thought: that it is not a rabbit, it only wears a rabbit skin, and the reason it has a row of razor sharp teeth is because it is a predator. That you could not let your guard down around a thing like that. I said it in a lighthearted way, not as a lecture. Immediately the Zoomettes around me reacted like I had just kicked a puppy. They jumped in to insist that it is just "a nice monster that would never hurt anyone" and the temperature in the room plummeted. Within a day, I discovered they had quietly remade all the group chats and the Discord study group threads without me in them. No message, no confrontation, just silent exile for daring to speak ill of the demon apparently everyone has decided is sacred. They also used to not mind me checking them out and said I was older but I had "aura" and now they button up their shirts and pull their little shorts down to cover up their underbutt when I'm trying to get a little cheeky peek. I used to be able to make people laugh but now they won't give anything but one word answers. I am not trying to be edgy or ruin anyone's fun. I honestly did not know that critiquing a toy counted as a social landmine. I am just feeling like I tripped over an invisible generational taboo. How do I bounce back from this without groveling or pretending to become a Labubu devotee overnight? Do I just keep my thoughts to myself from now on, or is there a way to laugh this off and reset the vibe so I am not the campus pariah for hating this horrible gremlin?
