Sheesh Grampa, calm your tits. Not everyone has to relive WWII to feel validated. Participation? What are you trying to do, give him a new experience in life!? Isn’t the dread of existence already enough?
While valid, I think the joke is supposed to be millineals and Gen z when they’re old. Boomers a while back got up in arms about participation trophies, complaining were roo soft needing trophies for just participating, when they actually had to win. This comic is using the perpetuation of abuse model as a basis that when we get old, we might do the same thing adjusted to our lifetime, hence bragging that we participated.
