    Blaming parents is an individualistic solution to a systemic problem

    A system made up of individual people…

    No one EVER wants to take personal responsibility. God forbid a parent actually parent and not just hand their child’s mind over to the state.

    Timmy - Can I have meta glasses / mindrape myself with brainrot?

    Parent - No.

    Problem solved over night.

    Shifting all of the onus onto the “mysterious system” is exactly what causes these issues in the first place. Its a cop out 100%. “Well I know I didnt even try but but but the system.”

    Change happens when individuals nut up and take things into their own hands.

    The parents are shitty parents and will continue to be so as long as people keep hand-waving any and all responsibility.

      Like, I agree with you, except that

      Change happens when individuals nut up and take things into their own hands.

      Could mean people get new legislation passed or something. Otherwise, we’re basically just telling people to choose not to be addicted to heroin.

        I expect parents not to facilitate harrassment by purchasing pedo glasses for their child. Am I expecting too much? Maybe. But I literally cannot lower the bar any further.
