Encyclopedia Dramatica was a thing already when I got access to Internet in my early teens. Fuck this "make the Internet a safe space for kids" manipulative bullshit. The rules were simple : don't share your real name or where you live online. Don't give credit info to shady places. The slightest doubt = Install nothing as to avoid malware/spywares. It's not complicated. Yes kids will see boobs. Boo-hoo get over it.
But Megacorps just have to agressively try to make the Internet conform to their real-ID-tied controlled products.
Now kids tell their whole life in the open, and the place where bullied kids could catch a break from HS drama is now permanent HS drama where the IRL bubble overlaps.
I was still a massively left-wing bleeding heart despite lol-ing at the gore, trash and un-PC humour over there. Leftists need to give-up the retarded moral panic around jokes and their compulsion to suffocate kids in their ideological warded garden hoping they can never think outside their box.
Except at the time, Leftists were in favor of freedom of expression. I didn't leave the Left as much as the Left went batshit insane.
