a return to traditional values, yes

Considering the fact that most robots here are beta providers, yes.

No. Even in those days robots would have been fucked, if not MORE fucked. Awkward behavior was way less accept than it is now. /r9k/ likes to believe they would have somehow been normal in the past.

Anti-bullying is something very recent.
Back then, we would have been bullied even more ruthlessly.
>>
I think so.

If you think about it, life was also harder for Chads back then. A Chad in the 50s could only hook up with a handful of women each year which left many more women available for other men. Now thanks to social networks like Tinder, Chad just has to say "lets netflix and chill" to anyone of his "hundreds/thousands" of matches.

Here's what would've happened. You went to an average elementary school. Assuming you were white then you'd be in a decent, homogeneous community. You'd never been influenced by video games, television, or music that would make your personality deviate too far from the norm and if you did, you'd be whipped in line, both by teachers and fellow children.

You'll spend your free time with a mix of radio, television, and outdoors (suburban communities are tightly knit, and even if you were just the punching bag for a bigger group you'd still go). You'd find some hands on activity you enjoy. Carpentry, sports, etc. Since there isn't a myriad of distractions to pull you away from the one thing you become quite good at it.

You go into high school. By now you'd have learned the rules of social engagement, even if you still had an inner core of aspie robot in you. You're by no means a Chad, but you get along fine. You might not go to many sock-hops or make it to Make-Out Point with a "hot mama" but your high school experience is rich and memorable nonetheless, even if most of your memories are cheering on the football team or the school dance.

You leave high school decently adjusted and physically decent. Your diet hasn't destroyed your body and you find yourself to be "well" by most standards.

So would life have been easier for robots back then? Robots wouldn't have existed. Make of that what you will.

Life was somewhat easier in that porn was less common and girls didn't have unlimited amounts of attention from guys.

Even 50 years ago, which was 1960, people traveled less. They relied on their circle of friends and nightclubs or shit to meet people. No internet to fish for chads. You took what you could get so your friends wouldn't wonder why you weren't married by the ripe old age of 27.

Ironically, no internet would have also made things harder as well. If you didn't go out, you couldn't talk to anyone.

>b-but, anti-bullying makes people weak
Because people have definitely defended us from anything. Cartoon Network or whatever network's anti-bullying messages doesn't change that no one is coming to save us now, and no one would have done so back then.

Studies show that anti-social/socially awkward people tend to occupy themselves with the internet, video games, and stay in their rooms, which can still decrease their social skills. If it was the 50's-70's , robots would have no choice but to communicate with people.
>>

>no choice but to communicate
Or go full Boo Radley...which is much more likely

>>24344082
The problem isn't communicating with people it's not liking to communicate with people IRL, that's the best part of the internet

In finding women, it was significantly easier. Simply because girls had far less options, basically limited to males that were in walking distance. Plus, girls had tons of pressure to find a husband at a young age. The rating system was even back then, maybe even tilted to males. If you were a 4+ male, women needed you.

Otherwise, bullying was probably more of a thing then. Like jocks stuffing nerds into lockers. Although, you can argue if that's worse than the cold isolation ugly kids receive now.
>>
>>24344060
Zero tolerance means that if you fight back you get in more trouble than your bully. Anti-bully has taught people to be passive little bitches which only make things worse.

We'd be administrated to mental hospital for their very special fetishes and special needs.

We'd also be very bullied as well.

To top it off, there isn't a marginalized folks gathering place where there is some sort of anonymity.

Abso-fucking-lutely

We would all have gfs
Chads would still be Chads but Tyrones would be kept under control and if a girl so much as winked at him he'd be hanged.

We could also all get good paying jobs and buy houses and cars. If a woman gives you lip you could just slap her across the face and get on with life and the internet wouldn't have slutified her. Not to mention we wouldn't have the internet holding onto us by the necks.

Anti-bullying itself is fine, but this blaming the person standing up for himself crap is the problem.

You don't think that happened in the 50s? Open your eyes. If a school guidance counselor hears two offenses, picking on someone/general harassment and assault/fighting, what do you think their first instinct would be on who to crack down on harder, regardless of what came first and how long it lasted?

Face it, bullies have always gotten a free pass in these things, at least on paper anti-bullying wants to change that.

How long ago is "back then?" If we're talking early 20th century, robots wouldn't even exist then.

Kids were forced to work at young ages back then so we'd all get tough quick. There's also very little bullshit to occupy ourselves with (no vidya, no internet, etc.) so we'd be pretty much forced to socialize. "Manly" values were taken a lot more seriously and our fathers wouldn't be willing to put up with our autism for very long.

As for sex and dating, it would be infinitely easier. Women were pretty much doormats back then and they were almost guaranteed virgins until marriage. And if you're lucky enough to be born into the higher class, marriages were practically arranged.

I'd say this is all true up to the 60's when the sexual revolution began and women suddenly weren't doormats anymore. TV was also widespread and child labor laws were in place, meaning more free time to sit around and do nothing all day.
>>
>>24344082
that's true for the failed normies that are actually capable of socializing, but who are too mentally weak to make themselves actually do it. the true autists would have been absolutely fucked, with no social life but also extremely limited methods of escapism.

you ever wonder why there weren't as many "losers" back then? it wasn't because the older generations were somehow magically better, it was because people like us killed themselves much more frequently
>>
>>24344404
>tfw quality too low to have anyone of equal proportion

Robots wouldn't exist, because back then the weak died

>>24344667
Thats bullshit
There are some very, very, ugly women

Keep in mind in those days a girl's dating pool was restricted to people they knew within a town or part of a city. Schoolmates or Church fellows. Nowadays they're able to fuck every Chad within 45 miles.
>>
>>24344667
you'd have to not exist for that to be true

even if you're an obese autistic neckbeard, you'd be paired up with an obese autistic legbeard
>>
>>24343969
This shit right here is right. Also, women actually wanted to get married and have a family. You'd find a decent job way easier and would be able to give your wife and kids a decent, middle-class life.
>>
>>24343624
this, anyone disagreeing such as >>24344337 are invoking the "le wrong generation" fallacy
>>
>>24343624
very probably this.

> dad would be a war vet (gg draft) and self-medicates with booze because "fuck mental health"
> mom might be on your side but has no social power, and empathy has its limits
> meme of being forced out of the house at 18 isn't a meme; it's a true social fact
> ronald regan will kick you out of a mental institution if you're in one by the time he's elected president

the typical genuine US robot 100% fucked.
cyborgs would be dysfunctional homeless.

True. However, women held all of the power in sexual relations back then. They could date several guys at once without giving up so much as a kiss.

Do chads fuck very very ugly women to begin with?

>They could date several guys at once without giving up so much as a kiss.
how is this any different than the current state of things?

>>24345167
the kiss is replaced by a blowie

kisses are too expandable these days

>>24345167
Women are sluts now. They suck dick and do anal and can't get so much as a date from Chad.
