  This is the goofiest culture war debacle I’ve seen. I’m very ancient so I remember parts of the Satanic Panic, I remember the scare about Mortal Kombat and Doom making kids into murderers, I remember scares about Jackass and knockout games and now we’re at scary phone apps. At least back then these reactionary freaks could point at something with at least the veneer of being scary. Satan, video games with blood everywhere, Johnny Knoxville tasering someone in the balls. It’s still goofy to get upset about those, but at least it’s got the outline of a basic argument.

  What is it now? The scary lipsync videos are gonna make your kids into Chinese communists? Good, I hope they all read “On Contradiction” by Mao. I fully expect a tiktok style red army by this time next year or I’m gonna be disappointed.

  Also if this is supposed to protect kids then all social media should be banned for kids. That stuff is brain rot and kids deserve better

  i hate when liberals do this, the “i hate all countries” thing. America invades another country every 3 years on average and this is just as bad as China, a country that hasn’t invaded anyone since 1979? What is this reasoning. This is like those Protestants who say lying about your homework is an equal sin as murdering someone
