"We should ban kids from the Internet until they turn 18"
I had a hard enough time finding people like me even with the Internet. Finding anyone locally who was anything like me was impossible.
The idea that people want to actively cut people away from their support networks, to isolate them from others, and banish the youth to a primitive 20th century lifestyle? That's fucking bullshit.
What next, do you also propose that kids only be allowed to speak to their parents, no one else?
@hadley The people pushing this are most certainly right-wing chuds who shouldn't be allowed to have children in the first place.
Most probably do not want them to have any kind of support networks because abused people who have support networks are less likely to tolerate further abuse, and not be empowered to take any kind of stand against it.

In their ideal world children don't speak at all, they believe children should be seen and not heard.
@Draconic_NEO The post/poster I saw at least doesn't seem terribly chud-like, but it definitely gives me some pretty ick vibes: https://mkultra.monster/@cmdr_nova/113666399297474117
@hadley Yeah that is pretty ick.
I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for that kind of sentiment because I know many people now who knew they were trans as teens, and the only reason they chose to keep going was because of online support networks.
People like this talk about thinking of the children but the reality is they don't actually care about the children. They want to control the children but couldn't care less if those kids are suffering emotionally.
