That’s what fucking pisses me off when people say this. I was born in 1991. As a child WE ALL KNEW PARTICIPATION TROPHIES WERE SILLY. Nobody was like “Oh fuck yeah, that’s right, I won!” We’d all joke about them being participation trophies. When showing my room I’d say “but these are just participation trophies.”
It’s meant to hurt us by making us angry. It works because it makes our goal look stupid. It puts you on the defensive, and makes you want to explain why your opinion is valid, even though you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s as rude as slapping someone in the face. I wish my culture would abandon this cruelty.
I had them in little league soccer and I knew they were BS lol. Made no damn sense because my parents were just like what are we gonna do with this junk?
