I think pretty much every mid to late 90s geocities website was pretty campy. They all followed a formula which went like this: [Animated flame GIF] Title of website ie "JoEs AwEsOmE SitE!!"[Animated flame GIF] Heres a long list of stuff I like!! Images of cars Images of bands Images of video games Random images Links to websites I like. Half the links are broken. Crappy midi music running in the background "Join my webring!" All you young uns probably dont know what a webring is. Hit counter. *edit: almost forgot the mandatory Internet explorer 3.0 and netscape buttons. That literally describes the majority of Geocities websites back then. Also you can go on the Geocities-izer and geocity-ize any website you want check it out: http://wonder-tonic.com/geocitiesizer/index.php

korusan posted:I actually thought the same when I was getting a source for the image, but then I remembered how I have a wheelchair-bound friend from high school who nicknamed himself "Wheels". I swear back in the 90s any cast of characters for any tv show, or advertisement (like the BK kids) had a handicapped member. I think it was sort of to promote equality to impressionable kids. I even remember a marvel comic I think it was X-force, or X-Factor that had a member on crutches but they were like cool looking crutches and she was a mutant with powers and stuff. But still handicapped.

korusan posted:Every show from the early 80s to mid 90s had a black kid, a brainiac (often mixed with being the black kid), a redhead, a cool kid, and two girls, one of whom was almost always a tomboy. If Im not mistaken I think there was even a few characters in some cartoons who had HIV/AIDs. One thing I remember about the early 90s was the aids hysteria what with Freddy Mercury dying, and Magic Johnson contracting the disease really putting it in the spotlight. And with the hysteria came a lot of misinfo, like people thought you could catch aids by hugging someone and stuff like that. So I think to combat that misinfo there was at least once cartoon character in a show that had AIDS. I cannot remember the character or the show but Im almost certain it happened.
