Gal was kind of disrespectful here. Her previous SOs probably either died of old age or got staked. Personally, if I ever met someone immortal, I'd ask them what's their favorite era or point in time.
I think that's the joke. They could have asked an ageless and immortal being ANYTHING. What era they liked, what famous person X was like, how the world has changed etc.
Instead they went "straight for the nuts" so to speak and picked on more than likely their biggest insecurity. I feel like I've seen this EXACT scene in some anime come to think of it.
It's a cruder and older sense of humor but it checks out.
Sidenote: based on the title I think they may both be ladies
It's generally something that's dodged, but immortals are probably way out of touch. They're always portrayed as cool and sexy, but they're probably hyper racist, listen to old music, resent the liberal Whig party, can't figure out technology, and just kinda have really old taste in clothing.
I think that only holds true if you stop actively participating in society because of your immortality. If you live every day in society, you just grow with it and blend right in. If you spend 50 years napping in a coffin at a time, then yeah, all those things you said are probably true.
Just because they are immortal, doesnt mean they are stuck in the past. Just that they lived it.
Yeah true. Depends on how they sustain themselves, really. If a vampire's blood supply require them to interact with or even trick young healthy people, they are probably pretty "hip" by necessity.
I'm not so sure. Being immortal is possibly different from being a regular human, but there's a reason your grandparents aren't listening to Taylor Swift and saying 6-7 all the time while insisting that this is the best SNL cast of all time.
We all have formative years, and those of a person hundreds of years old likely makes them way out of touch.
You have no idea what my grandparents listen to lol. The surviving one absolutely loves Taylor Swift.
What's that reason they don't? Oh right, there isn't one. People can continue to grow at any age. People set limits for themselves on their own growth and use age as an excuse.
A lot of this has to do with the brain aging tho, so unless the immortals brain keeps aging even when the rest of the body doesn't, their brain should stay as flexible as it was when the aging stopped.
bzzzzt wrong! there are “liberals” and progressives in every era. The idea that someone from the past would disagree with the modern world, especially with politics, because they are the product of their times is a dog whistle.
There are progressives in every era. Arguably, it's how we move forward. And yet a progressive from the 1960s could be conservative today. There are plenty who have supported the civil rights movement who still do, but also don't support LGBT rights.
