What was an eye opening piece of media for you?
Have you ever seen something on a TV, a book, a phone or listened to a song which changed the way you looked at life and altered your thinking? For example, mine was the book "To Kill a Mockingbird", which changed my perspective on racism and homophobia.
Watching the recent interviews of Trump voters (especially if they're non-white and/or immigrant themselves) has made me realise that human stupidity really has no end like what do you mean you didn't know he would deport your immigrant wife????

Deadass gacha life during 2019-2020 taught me alot of shit as a kid, probably the biggest reason why I'm so woke now.

I don't know ｡°(°.◜ᯅ◝°)°｡ I read a bunch of crap when I was young because my parents genuinely just bought like the top twenty books kids should read.

Mob Psycho 100 was like the catalyst for me to work on getting out of my shell at 16 when I was eating lunch alone, heavily mentally ill and paranoid about going outside. (Skipping school and had dooda grades)
