norms
Explanation
This comic features a conversation between what appears to be a father and child about changing social norms. The father dismisses the idea that norms are changing too fast, saying "Nah" -- he's settled and boring and fine with the way things are headed, predicting an "uncertain outcome."
The child pushes back, arguing that the father didn't always feel this way -- he only feels settled now because he's older and has stopped keeping up with cultural shifts. The father imagines that broader culture actually aligns with his views, but the child points out that this comfortable feeling itself comes from the fact that norms have shifted around him while he stayed put. The final panel delivers a nuanced point: the child notes that things the father now finds "weird" were once the norm themselves, and what feels like stability is just the brief window where culture happened to match his preferences. The comic is a thoughtful meditation on how every generation reaches a point where they mistake their own cultural stagnation for the world being "settled," not realizing they're becoming the outdated norm they once rebelled against.
