all cops are bastards

[clearly experiencing symptoms of mania] oh i get it! im finally normal!

anxieties over kids on the internet always come down to anxieties about youth autonomy. always. it is never about ‘safety’. it is not about ‘protection.’ it is about control, and parents’/institutions’ realization that young people are forming connections outside the purview of adult surveillance.

it's just really apparent that people think it's okay to want pain but morally abhorrent to want to give it. sorry but the sadist gets to have fun too. it's actually pretty crucial to the process.

Stealing this from twitter but I liked the concept: put in the tags where were your 8 great-grandparents from (given modern borders) ?

Really one of my most strongly held beliefs is that it’s deeply unhealthy and soul-stunting for children to only consume media the world’s most coddling and judgemental adults determined was ‘age-appropriate’, and watching stuff that would horrify your parents behind their back should be encouraged and rewarded.

love and light to all of you but the people reblogging this to agree and then citing episodes of literally Spongebob Squarepants as examples had very different childhoods than me.
