I will never let anyone forget the fact that transformers g1 was 100% cold war propaganda and how damn long that was actually

Sit there and think about how many of the cartoons you tumblr boomers and millennials (affectionate) were about war, good guys v evil, nuclear and weapon-ey themes, and "oh no not the communists"

They were really grooming you guys to be not only ready for a draft but enthusiastic about it

#tf g1 #psychologically that's gotta have messed people up (the cold war i mean)#imaging growing up like honestly birth to middle aged in a sort of permanent sense of fear #it lead to a lot of interesting culture shock moments in history class and fr i think that HS should cover more post 1950's history #i got philosophical about transformers again didn't I #with a franchise and fandom as long lived as ours it's really interesting to see how the attitudes and core tenants change #yes I'm assuming at least SOME of the tumblr user base is 30+ because sheer chance
