fantasy: the kingdom has been ruled by one family for 10,000 years
science fiction: a new species evolved in 30 years
the way teenagers are treated these days is wild. when i was a teenager we were all watching porn, jerking off, and going to horror movies with 3000 gallons of blood. Nowadays they make kids get a permission slip to watch anything darker than Barney the Dinosaur. Insane.
Every year we infantilize teenagers more and more and act surprised when they grow up to be terrified, angry, emotionally stunted adults.
& then for some reason people fixate more on "ugh these teenagers just want to be treated like babies!!! teenagers are to blame for the rise in puritanism!!!!!" than how this is a very obvious example of ageism and the increased control over a socially vulnerable and exploited group
I think a commonly overlooked part of this coddling is that it teaches kids and teenagers to be afraid of things they don't need to be afraid of, which is exactly how they end up as "puriteens". I remember as a child being terrified to change the channel on the tv because I had ended up with the impression that seeing even seconds of an R rated movie or tv show would give me nightmares. And then as a tween every time I saw swearing I felt sick to my stomach because I had been taught such a thing is bad and harmful. I think I would have suffered less if I hadn't been raised with everyone around me acting like mature media was so bad. By the time I was a teenager I had figured out this was bunk, but understandably a lot of people don't. By making this whole system worse and stronger you have teens who have been told that seeing explicit or dark media Will Harm Them, and so they act in ways that would be appropriate if it really was the info-hazard it's implied to be.
^^ never heard anybody specifically talk about this but yeah. parents acting like sexual or any "dark" content in a story or show was going to put bad things in my head that were going to be there permanently just gave me a deeply distressing sort of contamination anxiety
these children have grown up on media where everything is fucking censored. They're not allowed to use real words and have to use code words like "corn" instead of porn. YouTube sensors out on the subtitles words like fuck and just leave a blank space, as if that word wasn't there at all. They demonetise people who post and use words off of their list that they've deemed to inappropriate for use.
They're not allowed to use words like "rape" or "paedophile". They have to use words like "grape" or "PDF". They're not allowed to discuss violence, and on some platforms, they are demonetised if they discussed politics-- or, at the very least they know the comment sections will be filled with a lot of hate from all sides if they do discuss politics. So they've been trained to avoid it.
They have been trained from day, one to be afraid to use the correct words for what's appropriate for what they're talking about.
All the while, the vast majority of people they grew up watching on YouTube have been accused of – and in times admitting – really inappropriate things with children. And they've seen that all these rich people on these platforms have to do is give a make a tutorial that may or may not include an apology and there's no consequence whatsoever to whatever they do.
As a result, They’ve been trained simultaneously to believe that something like sexual assault is both extremely serious – so serious we can’t say the word – and also absolutely nothing. Because will everyone famous – especially everyone they follow on YouTube has been accused of it – or admitted it. So the sexual assault itself isn’t serious at all. It has no meaning. Oh but, you can’t say the word. You cannot say those words. You can say grapes – which aren’t going be taken seriously. Which proved that we don’t take those things seriously.
Sexual assault can’t be that big of a deal, because well James Charles is still doing great. But you can’t actually say sexual assault because YouTube will get mad. So the word is dangerous. The language is upsetting and serious and has significant negative consequences. But the acts itself? The actual sexual assault? Is not a problem.
That’s the world these kids have grown up in.
United States president is a sexual predator. That’s fine. No one cares. It didn’t stop him from getting the role. Quite the country, people laughed because he joked about it. So you can be a sexual predator. That’s fine. They have grown up in the world where this is fine. There are no consequences to this. No one minds.
You just can’t see the words. The words are what offensive, not the fact that he’s a sexual predator.
That’s the world these children have grown up in.
Children are products of whatever environment they are raised in. Their reflection of that, and whilst a few children can overcome the environments that they have been placed in, most children are going to except realities in which they have been born.
And then, once you add in all of the regulations from government to make things more palatable to children – ensuring that they are not allowed to see queer relationships before a certain time of night, for example, ensuring that they're not allowed to see sex, that everything has to be extremely sanitised… can't actually show blood, even though we are murdering hundreds of people in a film.
Are we surprised that the children who grew up watching predators get away with absolutely everything, the victims getting absolutely nothing except being relentlessly bullied-- are we surprised that those children do not find things like sex crimes offensive?
Are we surprised that the children who have been raised on all of this are both extremely Puritan about sex, violence, language, and politics when those have been repeatedly banned from the platforms they grew up on?
Are we surprised that the children who grew up with all of this? Don't think that it's a big deal that Trump is in the Epstein files over 1 million times? Are we surprised that they don't even care about the Epstein files? Are we surprised that they don't find sex crimes really that big of a deal when the majority of their childhood entertainers from YouTube have been accused of inappropriate activity with minors?
People who are so shocked that the younger generations are so Puritan about absolutely everything, and so unaffected with things like sex, crimes, sexual harassment, political, corruption, etc? These people created this mess.
I genuinely wish that the younger generations were not so puritan and right wing. But they have been raised in environments that have rewarded that. They have been raised in environments that have encouraged that.
and it was adults who did that. It was adults who rewarded that. It was adults who worked so hard to get legislation that "protected "them.
Now, with the digital ideas, and the "protect the children from the Internet "thing that is going on through a majority of countries – if it's not hit your country, it will- this is going to get 10 times worse. Children will have no access whatsoever to simple things like trying to search online. "how do I know I am gay" or "what is the definition of abuse" when they realise and suspect that someone might be abusing them.
You think these children have been over sanitised now? Let's just wait 15 years for all of the children who have been growing up with these new laws that will be put in place that make sure that children cannot even look up online how to get help if they think they are being abused.
Children will not even be able to look up what to do if they think they might be transgender, or they might be asexual. Because the Internet is being locked down, so that children have absolutely no access to anything.
You think these kids are puritan, now? You think these kids are growing up with too much fascist idealisation now? Let's chat in 15-20 years. Let's just see how much more fucked over these children are in 15-20 years, after these laws have all set in.
It's going to get so much worse.
“Noo cyclonus dont blame yourself 😭😭”
Heres ref:
remember in p.e. when they'd take a bunch of insecure teenagers & be like "today we're going to play basketball" and then not teach you how to play basketball. and then put you in a group with guys who were obsessed with basketball and would get mad at you for not knowing how to play basketball. why did they do that

the kids are calling them "stone fruits." they start off small—think cherries. then they're hooked and they need a quick fix, they get peaches, maybe some nectarines. it's all they can think about. before you know it, they're trying the really hard stuff—apricots, plums. once they taste a mango there's no going back.
happy last day of pride to the gay snails who hug and kiss for hours without mating
Anyways
Pirate Witch~
I DIY'd my hat and corset, which are pretty important focal points in this look. I had so many inspirations, pirates, red mages, wizard and witch aesthetics, the list goes on!! This was for an event called Spell Bloom.
It took a few iterations to get here but overall happy with the aesthetic. I need to finish up some extra details like adding some appliqué detail to the gloves.
The rest of my outfits was styled using pieces from my closet.
Robe: hippie shake
Belt: la femme en noir
Long gold belt: amazon
Boots: thrifted
Bloomers: tiktok shop
V-glove: amazon
Hat and corset: made by me, using a scarlet darkness base corset and thrifted red velvet witch hat

why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic
He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.
Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.
Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.
And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?
Capitalism is disgusting.
Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj
What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.

"Tutorial" on how to "draw" a blind OC.
My kofi
Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general. Links below so that you can research and do a nuance. Ones that were directly mentioned are bolded.
