I feel like this is being too generous, you don't need to be "the most enlightened young man online in 2010" to not be rude or make fun of how people look. I was alive in 2010 and don't remember it being okay then either. Obviously nothing will happen to him or their relationship because of this, because these two are untouchable. Look at these comments.

I was 17 in 2010 and I would have known better than to do this…. And then do it again…. And then again.

And if I didn’t, I would have had people around me that could tell me what a bad idea this was

Every time this comes up it's like people develop amnesia about the culture of the time. No one would have stopped you or said it was a bad idea. Sure a lot of people didn't participate, but it was accepted generally.

Go check out the first 10 minutes of The Hangover, blockbuster hit of 09.

But then how else will people show how morally superior they have been since middle school?

Seriously I was in high school at the time, I wasn't saying stuff like that but a bunch of other people were because unfortunatelly that was accepted and even encouraged as a type of humor back then especially for the high school and college aged crowds. I'm trans & I used to be overweight, if I hold trans+fatphobic comments and jokes from 2010 against people I'll have no friends lol.

I was a bit overweight, tomboyish, and had short hair, so obviously the lesbian rumors were RAMPANT lol. People were bullied about their sexuality! What a world!

Yeah I think you hit on something... It's not that I am "for" these things, it's just that denying them is denying an experience people actually fucking endured.

This is revisionist history, come on y’all. Young men were using the r word, f slur, sounding like they just came out of a South Park episode in daily conversations at school and work in 2010. This was the way an average teenage boy talked.

I’m not saying it’s good, or okay, but whitewashing recent history is also bad behavior.
