r/WhyWereWeOkWithThis
Founded March 2026 · Public — anyone can post
Look back at shocking things from past decades that we were okay with for some reason — including exploitative TV shows, tabloids, paparazzi, talk shows, and cultural moments that just make you gasp in hindsight! Think ANTM photoshoots, crass tabloid front pages, diet culture, casual sexism and racism, bizarro challenges on TV shows, making light of awful things in movies — hello, Wedding Crashers! We’re a mix of laughing at the ignorance of the past, as well as critiquing it seriously.
