Since I'm also old, my response to the pictured query (despite being unpictured) is Kagura from InuYasha. Her entire existence is suffering yet her strength of will is endearing enough to outweigh her antagonism. Her end was always going to be tragic because of her much hated connection to Naraku but it was still pretty "heartbreaking." All she ever wanted was her freedom and she only found it through an agonizing death by Naraku's poison.

I think it is largely performative, yes. While I think it is possible to lack awareness in that regard, I think its proliferation online is mostly done for attention.

Anime looked better in the 90s.
The trade-off is that fan art is way better now than it was then.

Sure, and then you have stuff like One Punch Man with saitama's 3 frames of animated running. You can say "it's dumb on purpose" and that's fine but that still means it's dumb.

I'm not arguing against what is considered retro but just pointing out the obvious that our perception of time really changes depending on our own age. Like for a 30 year old person something 20 years old can totally feel retro because it was a part of their childhood but like for me who is a fraction away from being 50 that same 20 year gap that everyone else considers retro will just not be retro to me.

Like it was mentioned PS3 came out in 2006 and we are 1 year away from it being 20 years old but it still isn't retro to me because it was the HD era and 20 years to me still feels "modern" because of my age.

But yeah in my own mind when I hear retro gaming I think of stuff from my early youth like Atari. Maybe even NES from when I was in junior high and starting high school but stuff from the HD era being retro just doesn't compute haha.
