my hot take is that sometimes i see people in their late 20s and early 30s say things that are definitely going to be ridiculous conservative talking points in ten years and if people don't check themselves NOW and become more aware about how they talk about and to other people our world will never escape this cycle of turmoil
sorry reblogging because it is just on my mind but just think about the treatment of teenagers since hateful tiktok comments have been normalized. teenagers are loud, messy, and rambunctious but i truly don't think that means they should be outright banned from stores, movie theaters, and even amusement parks. parents don't have the time to babysit their grown 17 year old child and frankly the kid doesn't want the parent there either. teenagerhood is supposed to be your first dip into independence where you learn how to be an adult... and what they're learning is that they're not wanted and they're banned from establishments that are famously for teens, all because some people got mad that the teens were having some fun that they couldn't have. it's WEIRD.
