As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
Edit: She had never heard of the show either.
I would say the major difference is that people today are far more open about getting tattoos. The cultural perception of tattoos in 1996 is something that only criminals, sex workers, junkies, veterans, or someone living an alternative lifestyle (ie queer, "free spirit," member of a weird cult) get. An HR rep with some generic heart tattoo would've been absolutely scandalous in 1996 but a complete nonissue in 2024. You could kinda see the cultural shift in the NBA. Tattoos only started popping up around the late 90s/early 00s and now, it's at a point where it's more strange to not have any tattoos. People in 1996 would assume this person is some gangbanger and not an NBA player.
