The whole trend is nothing new. Millennials and some GenXers were stealing all their slang from American rappers when they were young, too.

You’re making highly authoritarian, essentialist arguments
Bruh, spend less time online and/or on campus, you’re turning into a moon person.
The fucking irony of someone who was on the receiving end of malpractice from a psychiatrist as a child having to state that, yes, mental health professionals are generally authorities on behavioural and cognitive issues, and yes, adults are generally authorities on most things compared to 15yos. If I can get over it, I’m sure you can - hopefully before you spit out any little undisciplined animals of your own, and make them everyone else’s problem.
As you double down while getting downvoted to oblivion as everyone tells you how wrong you are
This is an indicator of a weak mind. Popularity contests have about as much bearing as insults. At no point have any of you explained how or why my reading of the post isn’t valid, and I highly suspect the anonymous downvotes and smartarsery are because you know it is and just don’t want to think about it, either due to an overarching agenda, or because no one likes feeling like they’ve been hoodwinked.
Die mad, I guess.
Dude, I’m getting hitler comparisons and called a boot licker for inserting the only hint of healthy skepticism into the whole damned thread. Now I’m getting fuckin’ 'u mad’s straight outta 2008. Excuses, deflections, personal attacks; as the kids say, cope harder.
(Oh and I’m not discounting the more sensible responses, it’s just there’s not a lot to say to personal anecdotes about some guy’s 12yo son.)
Any credibility you had, you aborted it with that last line. Naaaah, this is totally not just some teenager who resents adults telling them what to do, and this forum is totally not just a bunch of anarkiddies circlejerking, but also we’re gunna call you a bootlicker.
Who cares if the quote is total bullshit by someone acting in bad faith if it hones the edge of the ideological axe you have to grind. Shit’s just reddit all over again.
Teenagers DO have more insight into the injustices of society than adults who have grown comfortable with their advantages in it.
I think you need to speak to some actual teenagers. A subset of every generation thinks they’re on a holy crusade to right the world’s wrongs, but most of them grow up.
If someone’s job is to be an abusive authoritarian hypocrite
Jesus christ, mate, try harder. This is the shit I’m talking about.
Why the naked, ageist contempt
The contempt is for the enabling. Kids have always acted hard done by. It’s not hard to see that someone just didn’t want to take their therapist’s advice or didn’t like what they told them, played the victim card in the most vague, abstract way possible (this is the telltale sign that it’s a bullshit rationalisation), and now they’ve got a whole Internet full of maladjusted people with their own axes to grind and little genuine interest in helping anyone to reinforce their maladaptive behaviours.
a 15yo autistic girl experiencing ABA therapy
You’re all acting like the relevant bit here isn’t the 15yo bit.
Adult gets frustrated with know-it-all 15yo, and does what they need to to put the kid in their place so they can do their damned job, kid comes up with bullshit rationalisation for why they’re right and everyone else is wrong once they get home, Internet echo chamber enables them, news at 11.
I needed a new saucepan.
I’ve now replaced half my kitchen.
Siiiigh, would it help if I said penis? The last time this happened, it happened to be a woman.
And it’s pretty obvious when someone starts shit with people on the Internet for no reason, then posts their uglies all over the net, that they’ve got a pretty juvenile issue with attention-seeking behaviour in general.
More than once I had someone being an arse to me on reddit, I took a gander at their profile to see what kind of fucko I was dealing with… and it was full of their nudes.
One time it was someone who lived in the same town as me.
Yeah… your insults and comebacks don’t hit quite as hard now that I know you’re desperate for people to see your vagina.
Rap got popular in the 80’s, like NWA and Run DMC, right as GenXers were entering their formative years. Really not hard to figure out before posting pointless replies.
