That's an awful Hindsight shoehorn!

This post is Heartwarming in Hindsight because I made it self-referential just so the above people wouldn't feel awkward. And also because somebody remembered Heartwarming in Hindsight exists.

EDIT: But the fact it's a pagetopper makes it Harsher in Hindsight as it now looks very lonely.

Which makes this post Heartwarming in Hindsight, so the pagetopper isn't lonely!

My earlier post is Hilarious in Hindsight because it brought activity back to the thread for today at least.

I'm taking credit for that one way or another

Hilarious in Hindsight in the KND episode E.L.E.C.T.I.O.N.S, The delightful children sell out their school to a rival high school, this becomes funny after trump won thanks to Russian interference and sold out to them.

• Once upon a time, pedophilia was discovered to exist. This became Harsher in Hindsight when Cuties came out, and Netflix came out as pandering to those filthy, evil pedos. EW!

• Additionally, the Cuties brand of oranges is harsher because of the Cuties movie existing. Especially since Cuties markets to children.

• The Canadian fast food chain Harvey's became a lot Harsher in Hindsight when Harvey Wienstien raped all those women in Hollywood.

Procreation in general is much Harsher in Hindsight after the rise of the #MeToo movement and subsequent murder of all straight men in the entertainment industry.

• Harsher in Hindsight: Homestuck's title is much cringier to look at now that we're stuck at home thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Hilarious in Hindsight: In Indonesia, puff cakes are called "kue sus". Now, with Among Us booming and to that extent, the word sus, it's now much more hilarious to talk about these cakes in Indonesian.

• Hilarious in Hindsight: In Phineas and Ferb, one of the characters is named Isabella Garcia-Shapiro. In the later 2010s, a man named Ben Shapiro would become infamous for destroying feminists with "facts and logic".

Hilarious in Hindsight: Sometime in the 2010s, homosexuality was invented. This became harsher in September 2020, when a TV Tropes draft simply titled “Gay” was launched. ISN’T THAT FUNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?!?

No, really, don’t write this. You will get suspended.

• became Harsher in Hindsight when a bunch of users got in trouble for memeing on it, including at least one permaban

the permaban was for ban-evasion but we're not letting relevant context get in the way of a good sub-bullet correction

• Harsher in Hindsight: The Harsher in Hindsight YMMV item itself is Harsher in Hindsight thanks to all the misuse it suffered

Every edit made by a troper who got permabanned is Harsher in Hindsight.

YMMV.Smosh

• "Funny Aneurysm" Moment: In 2009, Shane Dawson guest starred in a video titled "Bigfoot is Gay". This would end up being completely unfunny due to things Shane has done recently. That's all we'll say about it.

The Jeffersons has an African-American named George as a main character. This is much harsher in 2020, when the death of an African-American named George caused an uproar leading to riots and the invention of Police Brutality.

• Also, The Jetsons is Hilarious in Hindsight when over 10 years later, a show with a similar name who also has a main character named George (except race flipped) named The Jeffersons debuted.

• Heartwarming in Hindsight: In 1964, Hasbro launched the G.I. Joe franchise. This would become much more heartwarming when Joe Biden won the 2020 US election year, saving America from evil jerks (i.e. Drumpf) like the G.I. Joes did.

The above entry is now a "Funny Aneurysm" Moment due to the invention of Racism in 2020.^note Nevermind the fact that that's what King was speaking out against in the first place, or the fact that the entry has nothing to do with racism in the first place
