dont call me doctor worm

People need people during times of stress and uncertainty. This is a fact of life, and if you don't work on being kinder to people, you are going to spend the rest of your life in the same miserable, burnt out state your boomer parents are in.

I don't know about you, but I sure don't want to end up another middle age cog in the machine who's only concern is getting theirs. If I'm going to live the rest of my life poor, I wanna be 40 and still living with compassion and authenticity. Unfortunately that requires actually feeling my emotions and processing them with another person.

Children aren't property, are their own individuals and there's such a thing as objectively safe things at every age

Yes?

So why is it perfectly acceptable to restrict your child's access to all sorts of information, know their exact location at all times, brick their phone and keep them locked up inside the house?

Why is it "normal" for parents to forbid their child from going on school trips and participating in activities, why is a parental signature required for absolutely everything?

I am convinced the people abusing their children like that would do it to everyone if they had the ability. Too bad it's only their youngest family members who can not advocate for themselves

The internet briefly served as a safe haven for everyone who did not have a voice in their community. That's why human rights progressed so much in these few years

And now, the liberties that led to us obtaining these rights are being revoked under the guise of "protecting the youth" from seeing things such as naked bodies and footage from ongoing genocide.

Age verification, beyond simply restricting children from any kind of autonomy, links real-world identity to online activity. Even if data is not supposed to be retained, there are still massive leaks. Such weak points should not be allowed to exist

I have a track record of my predictions coming true. I correctly predicted the effects the advent of AI would have, I correctly predicted what Elon Musk (disgusting) would want to use Twitter for

My prediction this time is that we are soon going to see a massive regression in the rights of minorities, rights related to personal autonomy and precautions against monopolies.

With the aid of AI, Trump, current EU leadership and public ignorance, the authoritarians are winning the culture war, and there is no resistance, because they pinky promised to only go after the kids.

And I just have so much hatred for people who parrot ideas without even putting effort into understanding them. If you actually read the associated papers, you would know actually what abilities do develop over time. But you would also know that a lot of how those abilities develop and at what point is actually very clearly bound to culture, and cultures that do not treat minors like things actually generally show different brain development in them. Because, guess what: brains develop very dependent on cultural context.

(not to mention that calling men 'boy' can easily have racist connotations)

And I don't care if you think this is all a delusion, either. Even if it is, you're not my doctor. You're not part of my care team. I didn’t ask you for a "reality check." Stay in your lane.

And if you think I'm just "playing pretend?" Who cares? I'm not, but why do you care so much? Is it because you think I'm having fun, that I never stopped imagining, playing, creating? And why is this your business, anyway?

Some of yall may have heard some of the shit that has been going on right now. I'm gonna give a quick run down of some of the stuff that has been happening. Note, this is not all, and it may never be all as much as I will try to update this.

(I am going to try and compile and briefly explain these as much as I can. There may be misinformation. Please inform me if I got something wrong.)

(This will also be updated with additional information and new topics added.)

1) Racist Chinese Dolls.

There are these dolls in China that are being called "Natasha" baby dolls. These dolls are not only very obvious caricatures of black people, but they are being advertised as a "stress relief" in which the people who buy these abuse it in various ways.

This links to a video of a compilation of the various "uses" of the doll. There are more in the replies of the tweet. (Another link to the same tweet just incase)

2) The Mocking, Abuse, and Dehumanization of Black Children.

Apart from the aforementioned doll, there are apparently people going around mocking, abusing, and dehumanizing black children.

Some people have compared black children to the doll.

Others have been going into African countries and have found ways to mock, abuse, and dehumanize black children for clout.

(Source 1 + Full Video) (Source 2)

There are more videos surfacing.

3) Black people are going missing.

Black people, especially children and teens have recently been going missing at an alarming rate. Some of these same people are turning up dead, deaths being ruled as "suicides."

While it generally unknown why many of these people are going missing, many suspect that their disappearances, deaths, and even lack of coverage is rooted in anti-blackness.

The following is a list of black people that have been reported missing as of recently. Please note that this is not a complete list (it may never be completed due to the fact that many of these disappearances will still occur as time passes) this may contain inaccurate information. Please inform me if that is the case.

By the time you see this, some of these people may have already been found either alive or deceased. This post will be updated overtime.

It is also heavily encouraged that you reblog this with more links to recent cases of missing black people if you are aware of any that aren’t included on this list.

1. Screenshot of a tweet by @/carterdalast, reading:

For those asking for context here it is

Note : these Black baby toys are being used as socks, shower etc and are also abused

Do yall even realize how insane this is?[five more question marks]

[Attached is a screenshot of a tiktok video. In front right corner there's the Black author of the response video. In the background is the original video, in which a Chinese person excitedly shows up a baby doll with brown skin, Black features and bright pink lips. At the bottom of the screenshot, there's the word "This" in red text, part of the subtitles of the video.

The tweet is a quote-retweet of one from @/werepixies, reading:

"anti-blackness is just an american thing, we don't do that over here" there's a popular toy in china right now of a black baby because people find it funny to abuse it...]

2. Screenshot of a Xiaohongshu post by 我是一只cici with multiple images (only one visible). That image is a photo of an adult Chinese person holding up a Black child in their arms and excitedly grinning the text of the post reads:

Who can ever resist a real-life little Natasha with drool? [This line is the post's title]

Can't believe I actually got to hug the real-life little Natasha.

She's just so adorable.

She's got her own makeup on, and I just couldn't resist getting a little cuddle in.

3. Screenshot of a tweet by @/k0knut, reading:

There is no redemption for disgusting people like this

[Attached is a video titled: How Some Chines Vloggers In Africa Are Abusing African Children For Content. In the screenshot it is paused at the beginning, with multiple photos or screenshots of Black children in the background; in one of them, the very small child's face is being squeezed by a light-skinned adult hand. Text on a bar reads in caps: Disgusting Trend on the Chinese Internet; there's a "curtain" of the Chinese flag sliding off.

The tweet is a quote-retweet of one from @/Hooniez4Han, reading: they're on RedNote calling Black children irl Natasha [an emoji not rendering in the screenshot, resulting in a rectangle symbol]; with the screenshot shown in 2 attached]

4. Another tweet by @/k0knut:

this account too:

[Attached is a video, in which in the background an adult Chinese person is holding a small Black child whose face is censored with pixels. In the bottom there's text from the original video: 我有浩的娜塔莎. At the top left, there's added text: [unseen] Nigeria and she holds and swings this child as if it's a doll, hoping to use their likeness for views as they cry

That tweet is another quote-retweet of the same @/Hooniez4Han tweet]
