Hey Pandas, What Is Something That Was Considered Bad But Now It’s Fine? (Closed)

What’s something that used to be considered a bad thing to be/do but now is completely fine (or should be).

Before anyone else says it, I’m gonna say it. LGBTQ and religion.
For LGBTQ, it used to be unacceptable for expressing how you feel and it was connected to religion with them saying “u gon burn in h*ll”

Religion- it used to be fine for parents to be abusive or very controlling in the name of religion. For example, my parents are very religious. They never let me talk to girls but jokes on them, because I’m bi now! I’m also non binary and atheist and when I told them they were legit bawling their eyes out.

As an adult I hate the idea of staying up late, colouring my hair and being on the phone all the time. I'm good with tattoos though!

Unmarried couples living together used to be scandalous. There are still laws in certain states that forbid such things, but they are unenforceable.

I've been with my boyfriend for 11 years. Neither one of us have an urge to get married. We have filled out paperwork allowing the other to make medical decisions if unfortunately needed. His mom and my step dad are always asking when we'll get married. We love each other, and vow to stay together, but getting married, eh🤷. My parents get married all the time so maybe I'm jaded. Regardless, it's a silly thing to be considered scandalous.

I'd say this coming from the religion angle, it was doing what I loved, making out time for myself and actually loving myself. Now I do all of that and more felt more alive and sane since then.

Presentism. Grew up hearing that it was wrong to judge the past using today's values, but apparently is a thing now... I can't help but think we are willingly becoming the 1984 society.

It's fine to judge the past using today's values, provided you understand the values of the time you are judging. Examples: Slavery; even back then they knew the value of freedom, which is why they choose to view people as property instead of as people. It made it easier to be an arsehole. The missionaries; They genuinely believed that they were doing the world a favour by bringing lesser developed people into [their idea of] civilisation and closer to god. Bad s**t often starts with good intentions.
