Kairos: Gen Z Blackpilling

> As a counterpoint to some of the recent blackpilling about Generation Z, I went back and dug up some data pointing to encouraging trends among Zoomers.

> Look closely at this chart by Audacious Epigone. Pay particular attention to the generational trends in attitudes toward pornography.

> "This is terrible!" you may say. "More Zoomers want porn to stay legal than any other generation polled!"

> But on closer inspection, a couple of remarkable data points stand out:

• More Zoomers than Millennials want porn banned outright.

• This stat marks a reversal in the trend that started with the Boomers of each successive generation favoring porn bans less than the last.

> Perhaps most fascinating is how split Zoomers are on the porn question--more than any prior cohort. Factor in people's reliable tendency to grow more conservative with age and the high likelihood that many pro-porn Gen Zeds are having their freshman fling with Libertarianism, and odds are good that their green bar will shrink to the red bar's benefit.

> Lest you still doubt the Zoomers' budding reactionary streak, take a look at another AE chart, this time on gun laws.
