      I was really young but I’d say they were probably better than now just because the zeitgeist was overall just more optimistic than today. 2006 would have been before even the recession. But the mid aughts were not “good.”

      It was probably worse for Gay/Lesbian people, possibly neutral for Trans people only because there were so few out that you didn’t have frothingfash literally killing them

      Probably better for POC in general because people become more racist when resources are scarce, also mayos knew nothing about non-white cultures, instead of knowing all the mayobrained cherrypicked shit and nothing else (muh gutter oil)
