Old School Tendencies

You know, this is still fucking bothering me.

When I used to get really pissed off at people for saying bigoted shit, and then later find out or be told they’re a teenager, I would get massive hate for apparently “picking on them”.

Now that I actively check the age of who I’m talking with on the Internet beforehand, and adjust my behavior appropriately for the person’s age, I STILL get massive hate for apparently “picking on them”.

I really have to wonder if it’s people just wanting to vehemently defend bigoted teenagers rather than consider the gravity of what the fuck they’re saying.

Like I said in the last post about this, marginalized teenagers don’t have the luxury of being coddled and babied whenever they have to deal with bigoted shit being said in their direction.

So what is the real reason here?

Why don’t these people seem to ever come to the aid of marginalized teenagers who are being called racial slurs, homophobic slurs, transphobic slurs, and so on and so forth?

Why does it always feel like it’s the teenagers saying fucked up shit who are defended and protected?

Why?

In fact, many of these people actively harass marginalized teenagers and find it especially funny to go out of their way to “trigger” mentally ill teenagers.

Like when I find out that someone is underage, I disengage, but these same people who come after evil sjws for attacking “innocent teenagers who don’t know any better” (often before we know their age) are generally the same ones ruthlessly bullying marginalized teens and laughing about it or not saying shit when they see their buddies doing the same

funny how that works

I’m really ashamed to say that I used to know/‘be friends’ with some people who used to purposefully taunt and trigger mentally ill people on here and I really would not be surprised if they picked on teenagers.

tbh I don’t wear kid gloves for teenagers. I’m sorry but if you go around wanting to be treated like an adult, have a bunch of porn on your blog, post pictures of yourself drinking and flipping off cameras, you literally have no right or reason not to have your ass verbally handed to you by a real adult.

This is a good point ^^^

I see a lot of (typically cishet white) teenagers with adult content on their blogs, but when it comes to being educated on being problematic, suddenly they’re “too young”.
