Taylor Lorenz faced significant online criticism after labeling the September 11 attacks a punchline in a social media post. Responding to condemnation around a 9/11-themed cake, she argued that 9/11 has been treated as a joke for years, citing various memes and themed parties. Lorenz also claimed that young people view the attacks through a lens of U.S. foreign policy failures. The backlash included emotional responses from individuals who lost loved ones in the attacks, emphasizing the tragedy's human impact and questioning Lorenz's insensitivity.
'You don't have enough respect for the sanctity of 9/11' is such a ridiculously out of touch and frankly boomer ass take in 2025. 9/11 has been a punchline for over a decade, ppl are having 9/11 themed parties and there are 9/11 parody t shirts and memes all over.
The more u know abt what the US has done in the middle east the more u understand why many believe the US deserved 9/11.
GenX here. Three people I knew died in the towers, human beings just like Taylor Lorenz, who got on the subway and went to work one day and then suddenly while they were drinking their coffee they had to decide whether to jump or burn to death, wrote The Washington Posts Megan McArdle.
