“Times Have Changed”: 40 Examples Of Things That Were Once Unacceptable But Are Now Accepted As Shared By The Bored Panda Community
Interview
There are many things that were once considered taboo or socially unacceptable, but have since become more accepted by society. As time goes on, people's attitudes and beliefs can change, and what was once considered unacceptable may become widely accepted. This can be seen in a variety of areas, such as relationships, fashion, and even language. While some may view these changes as positive, others may resist them, leading to ongoing debates and discussions about what is and is not socially acceptable.
Ultimately, what is considered acceptable can vary greatly depending on the time and place, and what may be accepted in one society may not be in another. I asked Pandas from our community to share things that weren't socially acceptable until now, and there were a lot of interesting answers to say the least.

Interracial marriages.
As a child of an interracial marriage, people still give me and my family strange looks. A hospital once locked me and my white mother in a room because they thought I was kidnapped. It is still weirdly taboo unfortunately -mixed 13 year old
Bored Panda reached out to Arizona Professor of Sociology, Dr. Mia Crawford. We asked her to explain to us what are some of the factors that contribute to changes in social norms and attitudes.
"Well, that's a good question," She started. "As you can guess there are a number of factors that can contribute to changes in social norms and attitudes. For example, demographic shifts. So imagine that changes in the composition of a population can lead to changes in attitudes and norms. An example of that would be, that when a population becomes more diverse, attitudes towards minorities or marginalized groups may shift." Dr. Crawford said.
Women being financially independent. Being able to have their own bank account, their own credit cards, and take out their own loans without having to have a man co-sign for them.
When my dad left my mom in the 70s, she could not have her name alone on the house, nor a bank account nor credit cards, without her dad co-signing. Women still have few options for being financially independent by comparison. I can't f*****g believe we're not only still begging and fighting for equal wages, but are being dragged back to the dark ages instead. This is the world Conservatives want, after all.
Being openly gay. It used to be taboo and sometimes downright dangerous to be open about it. Now it’s no big deal and I think that’s awesome.
Yes, especially in countries with death penalty. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_for_homosexuality

When I was in high school, a young man was lynched for being gay in the state where I lived. His name was Charlie Howard. This was not even front-page news. I found an article about the murder on a back page, cut it out, and tacked it up on my bulletin board. Then I waited for adults -- parents, teachers, the media -- to start talking about how this must never happen again. Nope. It was pretty much radio silence. I left that state at age 17, and the murder of Charlie Howard was part of the reason why.
oh my god, that's absolutely horrific! rest in peace Charlie 😥

It still is dangerous in plenty of places, please keep in mind. Unfortunate but true.
This is what we've been fighting for. More kids than ever can identify and come out and be who they are without going through years, even decades, of self-loathing, confusion, and worthlessness. There are millions of us working to make sure you're safe to just be who you are, and love who you love.
Depends on where you are. There are still some places in the country that you aren't allowed to be openly gay...or openly black or openly female...
I don't want to be rude or anything but how does one be a closeted black person exactly?

there are 69 countries where it’s still illegal to be gay. getting there though.
I know that sodomy laws are terrible and cause millions of people pain and suffering (including myself were I to live in those countries), but I have to say it. Nice

Very, VERY dependent on the country you're in! Being openly gay can still get you killed in some countries.
*Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea* mostly Middle East area and chunk of Asia

in some countries maybe, but i’m most places it’s still incredibly dangerous or illegal. countries can still execute someone on the suspicion of them being gay. i live in the us in a liberal town. just recently the house of two women married to eachother was set on fire with them in it. they barely got out and have horrible injuries. being gay is not accepted and saying it is can make the situation worse and delay progress. and it’s just a flat out lie
i wouldn’t say it’s no big deal. in cities, maybe, but in the country, no. i’ve been called a f*g for having short hair! source: a bisexual non-binary person who lives in the country.
i live in a liberal city in the midwest, we (my lgbtq+ friends and i) have been stalked, jumped, assaulted, and even kicked out of class. it’s no where near “not a big deal”

It still is in some countries, they will kill you if they know that you're gay, look at Chechenia for instances, not to mention some Asian, African and middle eastern countries.
Looking at the U.S. too. Especially the south is making it harder for gay people ro survive and they're still much more likely to be killed and mental torture like conversion therapy is allowed
Load More Replies... Again: people are just too interested about things they shouldn’t be! Fück homophobia!
Still very dangerous in certain states and parts of the world. Definitely made progress in a legal sense but ppl unfortunately are horrible!
I was born in 1958, 25 miles north of Boston. At NO TIME in my life was it unacceptable to be gay. Sorry, this is the truth. My mother actually asked me in 10th grade why I had "so many gay friends", it was 3 guys, I'm female. All the inference that homosexuality was maligned just didn't apply where I grew up. Thank goodness!
You must have grown up in a pocket universe that exists outside the one most everyone else knows, because most people had severe hangups about homosexuality, and that's putting it very lightly. But, good for you for not having to grow up with those prejudices.

i was one of the first/only out gay/trans people in my school for awhile!
It's for sure more accepted but don't imagine it isn't still dangerous for some people to be out. There's a lot of places where it's definitely not "no big deal"
Sorry, another JW comment. When I was about 10 years old a Jehovah Witness "friend" of my mom that was babysitting me took me to Friendly's for ice cream and told me my aunt was gay. She said it like it was the worst thing on earth. I was a very shy and anxious kid but I remember saying "So?" It actually explained why she never had a boyfriend, but she was my favorite aunt and her girlfriend was a great person. We (my cousins and I) loved staying at their house! That babysitter should have been more concerned about my other aunts husband- but that's another story...
When I hear my teenagers talking about LGBTQ+ issues they are just matter of fact. There is no judgement about whether it’s ok or not it just is a fact of life. I have hope that as time goes on we won’t even have to think back to the dark times
There can still be problems with this, but it’s better than it was. Hope it keeps improving.
its not no big deal in most of the world maybe north america and a little bit of europe but if i came out to my parents i would be killed and hung in public this is such a first world take
It's still a huge issue in certain places. I refuse to allow it to be a problem with coworkers now, it used to be a regular thing to have my stuff destroyed or career sabotaged or worse a couple times and the hospital bills were devastating, but customers finding me online has been an regular problem for years and in the beginning I didn't use a fake name online and had social media accounts like Facebook where there's always a way to get past privacy settings. They see something you liked, or a comment someone makes, or an event you went to, whatever, we all overshare and know it. But a lot of conservative religious folks don't like "the gays" and cause issues with employers or harass me. Even if your boss is cool, it's a business and my personal life is interfering with it. Be cool if they'd tell them to take their business and shove it on principle, but I'm just there for a check, why should I expect any different treatment in return
I should add I work in a blue collar industrial profession in rural America, I don't think it's an accurate representation of the country as a whole.

Even in areas it wasn't prosecuted since relatively long (seventies), it was considered normal to not support marriage of any else than a straight couple of a woman and a man, or even oppose it, often even without much bad intent, but more a lack of interest and just an outdated norm that was accepted as is. I, honestly, didn't care then, and currently look forward to not having to care anymore because it should not even be a question. It's, first of all, a form of love, and while it isn't actually mine, it still deserves respect and not being looked down on by any means, or acting in a way that appears like looking down - with or without actually doing so. Also, there are positive effects of committment to each other, no matter the choice of individuals, that should be considered a value to society as well es to those involved. I really look forward to not have to care anymore.
It still depends on where you live. I live in a diverse small town that has a pretty high gay population. It's a liberal arts college town. Drive 30 minutes away, I'm not sure it will be as welcoming. I'm not a feminine cis person, when I say where I live, I can see them peg me as gay. I don't care but, if their attitude changes so does mine. These are my neighbors and friends.
to me its a big deal...I am growing up in a Mormon and Cristian state and it is mentally dangerous to be openly gay and nonbinary....I'm originally from california but we moved here about 3 years ago and it hasnt been great.
It might be "no big deal" to be out now, but that's largely, in part, due to the fact that people are now prosecuted for physically harming openly gay folks. As they damn well should be. It's always been a crime to harm people, but it HASN'T always been a crime the police would investigate for gay folks, black folks, or other folks of color. However, there are currently 25 States with legislation pending targeting the LGBTQ community. Never underestimate peoples want and desire to legislate and legalize their bigotry towards others.
I was in the US Army from 73 to 81. I knew a few gay men. I had gay friends from before the army so I could tell from their mannerisms and inflections that they were gay. They also felt they could confide in me. At the time they were very much closeted and we never let their secret out.
So it's normal for a man to be behind another man having pleasure. That is still wrong and will always be wrong.
2022 I went to prom with a woman and got the weirdest looks. Now people wouldn't blink an eye about it.
It's definitely not "no big deal", openly gay people are harassed, discriminated against and murdered on a daily basis....
I kinda like when people are openly anti-gay. Now I know who likes to butt into people's sex lives so I can avoid the he// out of them.
This is very much not the case in many places and for many people. Remember, those in the closet still, if your safety would be under pressure for coming out, please don't do it. Your life is worth more than some asshats who aren't going to treat you like a human just because they want to know
This is not world wide there is still real danger to the whole rainbow including death. Even the US for its progress is still needing help accepting change.
Being able to be a normal person and live your life loving who you love isn’t disrespectful. Its a right we all should have, and it isn’t dumb to want those rights.
Load More Replies..."Things like economic and technological change can also impact the shift in social norms. For example, advancements in technology may lead to changes in the way people communicate and interact with one another, which in turn can affect social norms.
It's also worth noting that social movements and activism are a big part of this whole thing as well! Social movements, such as the Civil Rights Movement or the LGBTQ rights movement, can also play a significant role in changing social norms and attitudes. These movements bring attention to issues and injustices, and through sustained activism and mobilization of people, bring about changes in the laws and social norms."
Tattoos. My parents cried and said I would never find a job.
I went from an office job where I had to cover all my tattoos and my boss tried to publicly shame me fore getting another one (I say tried because I have no shame) to a blue collar job where the rest of the shop is emotionally invested as I design my sleeve.
Being accepted and treated like a normal person despite having disabilities and disorders.
It wasn't that long ago people with any form of mental, learning, physical and cognitive disabilities or mental disorders were put in mental hospitals and cruel asylums when all they needed was some extra help from an Aide or counseling. People would be mean and call slower kids the 'R-word', bully them and teachers would outcast them to a "special ed" program.
Some kids never even get an assessment or diagnosis because their parents would be more concerned about the social impact, or refused to cater to the thought bad marks were not the fault of their child.
Now, kids who need extra support or be somewhere quiet to do their work go to the resource rooms, which sounds more inclusive.
"Lastly, we cannot exclude psychological and cultural factors: Social norms and attitudes can be influenced by psychological factors like cognitive biases and cultural factors like tradition, religion, and beliefs." Dr. Mia shared.
We also asked Dr. Crawford to explain some of the key factors that influence the acceptance or rejection of something in society. She broke down the complex dynamics behind social norms and attitudes, and provided some insights and examples that shed light on the subject.
"A variety of key elements can play a role in determining the level of acceptance or rejection of something within a society. One must first take a look at social norms and expectations. People tend to conform to the norms and expectations of their social groups. When something is seen as acceptable or normal within a particular group, it is more likely to be accepted by the individuals within that group." Dr. Crawford told Bored Panda.
Cosplay. Especially cosplay for people with disabilities or less-than-ideal bodies. I'm a cosplayer, I'm partially disabled and overweight, and no one bats an eye at the con when I dress up.
Crying for men.
"Another thing that could be counted equally as important is the fact that familiarity breeds acceptance." The sociologist shared. "When people are exposed to something and given the chance to become familiar with it, they are more likely to accept it. Initially, new or unfamiliar things may be met with rejection, but as people become more accustomed to them, their attitudes can shift."
According to an Emily Post Etiquette book published in 1984, it was not socially acceptable to ask a guest NOT to smoke in your home.
You could not ask someone to not smoke, esp if you were a kid. I now have severe asthma thanks to being stuck in closed spaces with smokers for my entire childhood. If you asked to move or roll down a window, you'd get in trouble.
Bi-racial relationships & Bi-racial children
I love seeing bi racial families, it's a big FU to all these racist d@&ks. Plus mixed raced people are really very striking to look at, things like black skin with blue eyes, the model with the darkest skin in the world, there are so many beautiful people out there, see what happens when love has no barriers. Screw the racists, I was raised in a very racist and homophobic home. I was a child I did not understand why we did not like people with different colour skin, I'm now in my 30s and feel so guilty for believing that was the norm until my late teens. I still feel so bad for not being a better person and connecting the dots, like why is this persons skin colour an issue? I have other family huge homophobes, they have no place in my life or my kids.
"Though there are a lot more factors to this, and I only named a few, these are one of the most important ones. These factors play a crucial role in shaping societal acceptance or rejection of something, however, it's important to note that their interplay and importance can change depending on the specific context and society." The sociologist lastly stated.
Maybe someone has already said this, I don't know. Back when I was growing up it was considered bad manners to make an incoming phone call more important than the person that you were talking to, right there, in person. I am still appalled at how many people answer their cell phones even if you're sitting right there in person talking to them. Seems like bad manners to me.
Women exposing their ankles.
Although at my school, my skirt must be no higher than 2 inches above my knee.
Well not entirely acceptable by everyone yet, but it's starting to be: men who aren't cross-dressers or even gay wearing skirts/nail polish/makeup.
And I fully support being you and expressing yourself. I think it's awesome that this is happening and becoming more acceptable to society. An article of clothing or accessory shouldn't be genderized.
K-12 girls being allowed to wear pants to school. I know it's still no tube tops or short shorts, etc., but when I was in school, girls wore dresses and skirts, and if you knelt and the skirt didn't touch the floor, it was deemed to be too short. In high school, there were about 2 designated days per year when we could wear pants.
Pants are so much more practical & safe for females to wear to school.
Protesting whaling.
Females in revealing clothes. I'm grateful that I can wear pants/shorts. I hate dresses.
Actually I don't hate dresses. I just hate that I can't find one that fits my body type and looks cute.
Cannabis use, especially (where it’s legal for recreation,) is much more acceptable than it was years ago.
Discussing private issues.
Depression. Sexual abuse. Queer identities. Harassment. Bad parenting. Not wanting to have kids/marry. We literally could not even breathe hints that some of these things existed for most of our lives.
Being LGBTQ+ and supporting it. Also, someone said being openly gay and I’m not trying to copy them.
A related one would be HIV no longer being a death sentence. In the 80s-90s, when someone said they were positive, you knew you only had a year or two left with them, and it was going to be agony for them. Not anymore.
Having babies out of wedlock.
My now-husband was concerned when our first was born because we weren't married and he thought being a bastard was still a stigma. Not gonna lie, I laughed.
not liking religion. if you didn't like church the church would not like you existing
Even if I was religious l, I wouldn't be able to sit still at a place of worship. I get cold if I sit still for 2-5 minutes or more while awake. I have to use a blanket when I watch TV
1. Looking like you're talking to yourself.
The in past you've been taken away to the crazy hospital. These days you're most likely on your phone so you can feel free to talk to yourself all you want and just blame it on that, lol.
2. Being an actual crazy person.
It used to be if you were crazy they'd give you tin foil to play with and cart you off to a mental hospital because you shouldn't be allowed in regular society. Now you can say things like believing the earth is flat. Or that school shootings where children have died and it can be proven are just 'false flags' and never happened. Or that the government is a conspiracy of snake people from another planet. And instead of a tin foil hat, you get elected to the house of representatives or a radio show making millions of dollars.
Mental hospitals "back in the day" did FAR worse things than give you tinfoil to play with
Black people going to the same school as white people (but I guess that’s racism) but it was still socially unacceptable.
Being friends with an African American person.
Not answering your phone. It used to be expected that if you were home and the phone rang, you picked it up. Then there were answering machines so we could screen. Then voicemail, and now we have a call display so you can just decline. I honestly never expect people to pick up if I call. Text is way easier anyway.
I still get people pissed off when I don't answer my home phone. My mom will call my cellphone, text me and then try my home phone. If I don't answer, then I did a terrible, horrible thing. Then I get interrogated where I've been, why I didn't answer or reply to her texts. Like geezus. I miss not having all these communication avenues.
Not dressing to the 9s when on an airplane. You used to essentially have to wear business suits/business formal when flying. Now comfy clothes are fine.
It's a giant, dirty bus, in the air. I'd wear a plastic bubble if I could.
Expressing pro-LGBTQ opinions without first saying "I'm not gay, but..."
Telling your parents they're wrong.
Just did this the other day, it was so awesome. She called me a b*tch in front of my coworkers this morning, but it was worth it. No one calls me a liar for having sleep problems and then gets mad at me for them later! Have fun with that "mom"
Being a minority, whether it be religious or ethnic. Luckily, it is legal to not be a white Christain now, but you used to be mobbed or persecuted over what you believe in or what you look like.
Accomodating neurodivergent people. Don't get me wrong, it's still awful. But it's a hell of a lot better than it was maybe 5 years ago. Whether it's "autism hours" in supermarkets to lower risk of overstimulation or just not commenting on stims being "weird", it's definitely progress. It's less taboo and less ignored now than it's been in the past
I am a high functioning autistic so I'm not overly sensitive to noise or bright lights, but I still appreciate people understanding my DIFFERENCE! Not disability, not fault, not defect, DIFFERENCE!
The stigma surrounding mental illness has dissipated. We can now talk openly about mental health struggles and even take a mental health day off work. Mental Health struggles are being seen as legitimate and debilitating illnesses that used to be brushed off and people told to "Brighten up" or "Just get over it"
In my own personal experience, this is true. I have bad anxiety and sometimes have panic attacks. My current employer and coworkers are so understanding about it, whereas in the past I've been penalized or even mocked for having anxiety.
Not knowing how to write in cursive.
I'm sorry cursive is no longer being taught. We are losing a great art.
Swearing (to an extent).
Especially for women. I still have people policing my wording when I use profanity. My favorite thing is when some Conservative Christian unleashes all of their usual rhetoric about how I'm a murderer sinner brainwasher who's going to burn in hell for all eternity and LGBTQ+ is a sin, and when I respond with "f**k off," they then complain about my "bad language" and it's "unladylike" and "rude." Sorry, but I think telling a kid that they're going to burn in hell for being bi is far more offensive than a four-letter word, but I'm just so wacky and sinful that way. But really, f**k ALL the way off.
Being a witch/pagan although I did discover that in some countries it is still best to keep your pentacle tucked away,
disrespect and rudeness. it happens all the time and no one speaks up because they're afraid of the confrontation and i don't blame them. rage is on the rise.
Honestly, disrespect and rudeness have always existed. I feel like people romanticize the past in a way that's not realistic. Every single generation thinks the next generation coming up is so much worse than theirs. It's really not any different. I think the opposite - people speak up about rudeness and disrespect so much that they're labelled "snowflakes."
Mylar balloons aren't good for the environment. They can short-circuit power equipment and lead to outages and fires. They can float for days and miles and return to earth as ugly litter that pollutes pristine places. They end up in the stomachs of countless land animals and sea creatures that eat them and die. They waste helium which is a finite resource. They are synthetic products that will never biodegrade. They're pretty to look at but releasing them to ride the winds is irresponsible.
So, I read this prompt backward. This answer works if the question was worded opposite, "What is something that ISN'T socially acceptable now, that used to be okay?" I'd delete it, but I don't know how.
Now I actually think about it... anything. You can carry a lightsaber in public and nobody blinks, everybody has an opinion but nobody is accountable, and now I've said all of that, I'll let you know that it was what ruined the Star wars franchise years ago.
Being a Catholic Christian. The KKK tried to wipe us out. One Catholic priest was killed because a White Protestant man's daughter married someone outside of her own race.
Yes, Black people were not the only target. Jews, Catholics, gays, and other groups that were not WASP
Wearing colours at Wimbledon

It entirely depends on where you live. Here being gay is "legal" but people are still killed for it, even more so being trans. And try to get a job being trans or disabled or worse, being both, no one wants to employ you.
Employers will absolutely jump thru hoops to get rid of Trans employees, I've seen it happen. It's ridiculous. If they do their job well and don't eff things up for the company, that should be all that matters.

Depending on when your grandmother was young, it may have involved a lot more guess work then it does now. Things like MRI have taken a lot of the mystery out of why the body does what it does.
