I am seeing people make the same types of arguments on Facebook - we’ve really gone past satire at this point, people actually believe things like what you said.
This thread is getting really confused about their theology; if you have an hour to spare, the Knowing Better video is quite good.
This is the same kinds of thing that I was told happened in evil Christian oppressing countries like North Korea growing up.
If it were happening anywhere else the entire SBC block would be outraged.
420chan was fun.
Don’t forget r/picsofdeadkids and r/beautifulcorpses
R/rape was a place for rape porn for the longest time. Posting to Reddit for advice coping with sexual assault is 100% a bad idea, as you will mostly get DM’s and chat requests from people who want to get off to your trauma. I believe the moderators of those “support” communities also get off on it too.
There are still currently beastiality subreddits and r/guro. The beastiality subreddits post simulated images/hentai, but the discussions include advice on how to participate.
People tried to defend r/jailbait by saying it was girls close to 18. (Uh akshually it’s ephebophilia 🤡) It was not. It was mostly 13-14 year olds or younger. Actual pornographic images weren’t posted there, but it was clear that the admin team and others were running trading rings.
Didn’t Reddit even ban Gawker links for a while for doxxing Micheal Brutsch? Redditors always fell over themselves to defend all of this shit as “free speech.” R/ShitRedditSays was considered worse than any of these subreddits.
They have been covering up child sexual abuse for decades. Making children face their abuser, destroying records, not cooperating with the police…
They discourage their members from going to college or seriously pursuing a career. They practice disfellowshipping and shunning, where you lose your entire social circle if you leave or even do something as minor as be known to have watched porn. They trap people essentially - you work a low wage job like cleaning windows because you aren’t supposed to pursue higher education, you are expected to provide free labor for their real estate scheme, and also the hours and hours of free labor going door to door.
They let their children die rather than have blood transfusions. Hospitals and doctors have had to come up with ridiculous “bloodless surgeries” to keep these people alive, because they read a single verse in the Bible flat out incorrectly.
JW’s are a cult. The proselytizing doesn’t convert anyone, the purpose is to have the members routinely rejected to convince them of the evils of society. There is nothing good about the organization; there are certainly individual JW’s who are good people, but it’s a fucking cult.
Any tips for properly hopping a fence? I may want to use that information for good.
We are living in a period of anti-science irrationality, tied with the rise of global fascism.
A significant portion of the US’s population (roughly 1 in 5) believes in Q-anon, Wayfair child trafficking conspiracies, “Frazzledrip” (a supposed video where Hillary Clinton murders a child and drinks their blood for ‘adrenochrome’), etc etc.
I believe Lauren Boebart posted shit about the weather weapons on her Twitter. A good chunk of our elected officials believe this insanity too (remember how fluoridation programs just got nixed). The Oklahoma state GOP platform literally includes a desire to shut down 5G.
Rolling coal should be considered a symptom of mental illness.
Like, why?
The Venn diagram of people who do that shit and think that NOAA has evil HAARP weather weapons is probably a circle.
You know a lot of men buy those bad dragon type of toys? Probably more than women…
And the same types of sites definitely sell fleshlight type of toys.
When I watch Mulan, I shut it off before the reveal and pretend that Mulan never gets outed. I am so thirsty for gay trans man romance :(
Bro - I was literally a fucking teacher during the peak of that moral panic. I spend more time every day with teenagers than half of you on this thread do. Every kid knew it was a fucking joke. A handful of children actually did it on purpose, and like every moral outrage/hysteria it became “teens are doing this wild crazy thing!”
Yes, teenagers do dumb fucking shit all of the time. It’s not the shit the media picks up on for the viral clicks.
The real shit teens are actually doing is vaping shady carts and creating massive group chats to bully each other with naked pictures. But that doesn’t sell the same kinds of ad impressions as “there’s a stupid TikTok video that when viral so we are going to assume this is a massive regular thing that hundreds of children are doing.” Talking about those issues involves parents having to, you know, parent but instead it’s gotta be about stupid shit.
The real “hiding under a rock” is being distracted by the newest stupid TikTok video instead of dealing with the things teenagers actually do.
Did you know that cognitively delayed teenagers exist?
Check real quick - I think “gullible” is written on your ceiling. Watch out, I hear human traffickers are putting fentanyl laced roses on car doors.
Did you see the part where only half of those ingestions were intentional?
You would be freaking out about rainbow parties and snap bracelets in the 90s.
You get this a joke?
Children were never eating tide pods either.
So a typical American teacher’s schedule?
