It was a huge mistake to become less vigilant about children talking to strangers. Even online. We went from "don't share any personal information" to people sharing their medical history and sexual proclivities front and center on every social media they ever use.
This isn't cool, safe or healthy. It opens you up to being targeted, either to be cancelled or to be groomed.
Also, anyone who is open to the idea of transgenderism is fucked. No, there are no sane troons. The moment you are just kind of trying to entertain the thought of it being possible, you are screwed.
Now some of you will tell me it ain't so and there are ones who just "want to live like everyone else", but that doesn't work. Changing fucking reality to suit your delusion and everyone playing into your delusions is NOT like everyone else. Nobody entertains my bullshit.
I never figured that one out. I was online as a kid, both on the internet and things prior to the internet, a good bit earlier than most my age. Everything was kept anonymous. I'd have told people online as a 9 or 10 year old to piss off if they wanted anything close to that level of personal detail. I wouldn't even have told them I was a kid. I'm not even sure how much of it I had to be taught by then, because I think like you said you were taught from birth about strangers and random people. I wasn't all that monitored on that stuff either, strangely enough even though my parents were strict in some ways they didn't even attempt to monitor what I was doing on the computer.
Today it seems like there's 6 and 7 year olds going around doing all kinds of stupid stuff spouting out everything they can. Share absolutely any and all personal information on a whim. It's like it's totally okay for it all to be out in the open. Totally a foreign concept to me, I never could get into modern social media as an adult because I'm just not interested in broadcasting my life to the world attached to my actual identity.
I think it has a lot to do with schools pushing stuff like google accounts for school use; it leads the kids to think they don't need to protecy themselves in public.
Kids are stupid. Glad you weren't, but most are, they don't know the dangers, especially if they have a bad home life and are looking for sympathy. Some kids lie about their age all the time to seem more mature, get fake I. D.s, to get in a chat or video or whatever they have to be 18 for. It's not farfetched.
The home life is key to that and something that's all over this thread in general. Parents just tend to suck it seems, and it's been trending in the wrong direction. The stories I'd hear about my ancestors from 100+ years ago with bad parents were at least bad in the direction of they had to figure out how to take care of themselves or starve. Doesn't hurt that in those days I'm not sure there was as much sympathy to be had in the larger world anyway. Now, it seems the bad ones today just coddle their kids so much they never get the opportunity to learn from experience until the shit totally hits the fan.
The only exception I'd make is for a kid or teen or has been groomed or otherwise misguided by the stupid trans-tend. Teenagers are pretty much insane by definition. I won't condemn them until they're an adult man still thinking they're a princess.
Funny how we are forced to take them seriously now.
Like when I was a teen and I said and did stupid shit, my family was like "yeah, fuck that". Especially my older sister. To this day, she is my retard alert.
But a whole bunch of kids have nothing like that, instead they have pussywhipped cowards for parents who think their job is to support their kids in whatever stupid shit they do. They don't dare saying just... no.
Iirc a bunch were on the autism spectrum too. The vulnerability of that group worries the heck out of me because I saw that happen to multiple autists irl, see it quite a bit online too, and no one brings up the relation between the two groups.
I don't support any public communication online unless it's annonymous.
Even if you aren't saying anything questionable, in 5 years, it will be. There's no reason to allow anything you put online to be traced back to you, doubly so for kids.
Beyond that, I think it's more the parents fault for not consistently laying down proper morals around sex and gender roles. Stop teaching your kids the girls and boys are the same or interchangeable. Stop pushing your girls to be ambitious and your boys to be passive. Kids instinctively know what their gender role is and the only way they get confused is constant propaganda.
Social media was never free. We paid for it with the loss of our privacy. And that privacy was protecting everyone from predators, children most of all.
It really is a damned cult. I saw it happen with friends of mine, and I think the only reason. I think the only reason I didn't fall into it with them was, partly a growing awareness of gamergate and what we called SJWs, and partly I was dealing with depression and I completely isolated myself off from others.
I'd say 75% chance I'd've fallen for it too if I didn't have those two factors in my favor. Even higher if I was coming of age right now and not the early 2010s.
Shout out to u/MetallicBioMeat for finding the original post and another to whoever had the foresight to archive it. The OP completely wiped his account so good luck finding anything else he wrote.
Great read for seeing how the woke prey on the weak and vulnerable to expand their ranks. This happens all the time.
Having interacted with the OP ... they're still showing a fair bit of blind ideology, they've just kind of switched tracks. They scrubbed their account shortly after posting an account of how 9/11 was really the US running a false-flag and promptly called me a "JIDF shill" when asked to actually show anything at all to prove this.
I hope this person gets better soon.
I mean, we all know 9/11 was a collaborative effort between the Grays and the Lizard People.
You know those articles that accuse the "alt right" of grooming people who are vulnerable and impressionable into joining them and becoming hateful and dangerous? They actually describe the troomer subs on Faggit and other places where predatory troons congregate perfectly. Leftists always project.
They definitely project, plus they're overusing these terms so they lose all meaning and people won't pay attention when it actually happens to real victims.
And one of the worst parts about this is the flurry of "conversion therapy" laws that are being put up.
I know a young boy that's 16 and "trans" at the moment, sending him this would be great for him but I'd be risking breaking the law as it might fall under "conversion therapy"

Yeah, just seemed like common sense back then.

I can't disagree. This only happens in families that let society raise their kids.
Have you read Abigail Shrier's book? All the girls she talks about who trooned out had these useless cheerleader parents.
Iirc a bunch were on the autism spectrum too. The vulnerability of that group worries the heck out of me because I saw that happen to multiple autists irl, see it quite a bit online too, and no one brings up the relation between the two groups.
When you normalize autists, the normal get autism.
(Same applies to the alphabet soup)
You think that autism was their choice?
Children are insane!

Gamergate was my first redpill too. Used to be an SJW before that.
I was a big LGB

That statement is so damn reddit...
Note that it all began for him because of the degenerate women in his family. All men suffer when they listen to women.

They really are evil - they're calling opposition to conversion therapy "conversion therapy."
