I fucking hate this "all kids say dumbass things" meme because it isn't fucking true

every generation has SOME kids who say dumbass things, and those are the ones you hear from, but you know what? I was a dumb teenager in fandom and I didn't ever run around saying all adults were horrible, or being in ship wars, or bashing female characters, or WHATEVER

if I thought dumb stuff that I've forgotten about, there is no record of it because I had the good sense to lurk and listen and understand community norms before I opened my fool mouth, and also didn't feel the need to rush into conflict to harass and control other people

kids like me fucking exist, and it's not HOMG UNPOSSIBLE to expect teenagers to display a few specks of critical thinking or consideration for others. they're old enough to start learning how to behave as independent people in low-stakes situations

TLDR "Kids will be kids" is almost as bad as "boys will be boys". don't enable the suicide-baiting, power-tripping, egotistical little pricks

I'm not justifying it at all. It's stupid (as I already said), and it's indefensible, and they should knock it the hell off.

I'm also not interested in pretending this is more novel than it really is, and I'm especially not interested in turning it into another moral panic about how evil and dumb all the Kids These Days are, with just as little justification or sense as every previous moral panic, or flipping out about how Tumblr Is Ruining Everything.

Ok. But literally none of those things are happening in the secret.
