Dude, what kind of mental gymnastics does a supposed trained professional have to go through to hear a kid say he has problems making friends and go "ah yes, you must have a case of the pedophilia". What the fuck man?
Seriously though, I don't really want to go "muh both sides" but the treatment of kids who don't fit in definitely needs some improvement.
On the left, they'll just affirm the kid and encourage them to drink the troonshine or kool gaid. I'm sure we all know how bad that fucks up kids in the long run.
Meanwhile on the right, they've got it slightly better in that tough love, when done right can really help a kid along. I don't have an issue with them being a bit hard on their kids, but the punishments should be appropriate and anything physical beyond a slap to the wrist just seems excessive.
But, I've seen how too much tough love can fuck up kids as much as over coddling them.
I know it's anecdotal, but I have a younger cousin who's mom was one of those bible thumping Christians who unintentionally helped push the youth away from Christianity. She wasn't just passionate about it, she was a full on nutjob.
To give you an idea of how crazy she was, she once chewed me out at a family gathering all because my cousin tried to borrow one of my Narnia books. This was during the 90s back when they were calling Harry Potter "satanic witchcraft" so she probably thought Narnia was something similar.
Anyway, that cousin of mine went the fag route a few years back. Full on marching at pride parades in a crop top levels of faggotry. I haven't been able to get in touch with him in awhile.
Now I knew the guy when we were kids, he was a bit quiet but didn't really seem all that weird back in the day. So seeing him pull that hard of a 180 definitely made me a bit sad considering how normal he used to be.
