    A long article in which a mom has to watch her son fall down the at-right rabbit hole and how he eventually dug himself out of it.

    This kid seemed to have a working brain before the events that led him down this path, which is more than I can say for our own teeny bopper. Once he saw these schmucks in person he snapped himself out of it, which is an excellent thing.

    But it's sad this is happening in the first place.

    So, it turns out that there's an app which lets you submit a dick pic someone sent you.

    She sounds like a twat who wanted to force her own agenda and beliefs on her son and thinks there was a conspiracy that got to him.

    :wtf:

    Did you even read the same article I did?

    The mom even took her son to the event to meet his Riddit friends and he broke out of that Kek bullshit on his own once he saw what losers were truly behind those dank memes.

    Also, they're Jewish, so I think she's allowed to be horrified that her kid got pulled into that crap.

    I started to, got through most of the first paragraph and decided to pull a classic WF move, comment on the article without reading the whole thing.

    Kids are easily influenced and prone to stupidity. Plus they are not familiar with how corrupt the world is and we tell them to believe in adults when most adults are not much better. There is a reason why it is very easy for child molesters to turn kids against their supposedly unfair parents simply by telling them what they want to hear. It is not terribly surprising to find them enamored with fame and lies that set them to be the victims and tell them they are special little snowflakes when they are not. Politics uses a lot of the same tricks used by predatory people to get sex. They tell you that you are great, they will make your life great, and everyone else is a shitburger but them and their people.

    There is a reason my sister will not let her son have social media accounts and watches what he does online.
