I think unless they were gamers themselves (and a good chunk of people are not, even among millennial parents), they'll probably just call it whatever the first video game system their child begged them for. For a while everything was a "playstation."

DC Comics has been publishing intentionally weird takes on all the Hannah Barbara properties basically in a hope that spurring internet discussion and creating dumb memes ("We committed a war crime, Barney") will somehow translate into people buying comic books.

"We committed a genocide Barney" was both part of a story line that was a vietnam metaphor and vaguely related actual anthropology (our species coexisted alongside neanderthals for awhile and then we didn't).

Sailing is only a sport if done competitively, and even then it's a sport in the same way polo is. Pool is not a sport.

There's a reason I said "technically" but pool has an opponent, a goal and a modicum of physical ability, how is it not a sport?

Sports are good to participate in, lame to spectate. People who get invested in a sports team are worse than gamers, because at least gamers actually challenge themselves, unlike sports fan who go to stadia and/or bars and cheer real good/get into fights.

This is super dumb and wrong, Obviously there are dumb violent sports fans, but those fuckers are going to be dumb and violent whatever happens and it's nice to cheer for something with your city's name on it and also see peak athleticism trying itss hardest.

Why would it matter if he watched it in its original context? A show holds up if its good now, regardless of whatever perceived qualities it had or lacked in the mid 90s. Die Hard totally holds up and it too wouldn't work if John McClain had a cell phone.
