i get the point that is being made here but i think people are forgetting how predatory some online kids browser games were and with them essentially pay to play/win and having pretty mediocre moderation to begin with. games like club penguin, moviestar planet was absolutely infamous for having pretty gross subscription models where they'd lock an unneccessary amount of the game behind it and essentially pressure you to buy it via FOMO. Animal Jam was probably one of the worst examples of this and it wasn't uncommon for kids on that game to bully others for 'being too poor to buy a membership'.

i dont want to distract from the main issue but lets also not pretend these spaces were well moderated, because they were absolutely not.

The concepts of NSFW is being cleared of the Internet under the false pretense of children’s safety when it’s really about the people in power sanitising for advertisers and pushing evangelical narratives AND that not enough is done to keep legitimately harmful content off of spaces that minors have access to are ideas that can coexist

I fucking knew it, I SAID it: they're making ADHD people the next culture war targets. They will 'just ask questions' until we lose every scrap of ground we've gained in the last decade and more. We may not quite inspire the same level of hatred as a sexual minority, but we can very easily be made to inspire disdain and that also works.

They will strip us of our accomodations and our medications and try to stifle any sense of shared identity, and if that kills some of us, oh well. So long as it fuels another outrage cycle, fine.

So many of the tropes they've been using on trans people work extremely well on ADHD people too! "There are too many of these people suddenly! It must be a fad! It spreads through friend groups! And online! People are going private for diagnoses and that's bad! They are using pOwERfUl medical interventions and we think it's freaky!"

I saw the first ripples of this in terf circles about two years ago. And of course it's spread.

6% of British ADHD people lost their jobs in the last year thanks to the meds shortage. SIX PER CENT! And that just made these ghouls go "ooh, tasty, what else can we do?"

Recently an 'expert' was on the BBC saying people see ADHD diagnosis as a "golden ticket." Laurence Fox has been ranting that the condition doesn't exist and threatening "'you won't poison my child's body [with ADHD meds] against my consent"

People need to be aware this is going to get worse. Maybe, if we're lucky, it won't get really bad. But it's going to get worse than it is now.

WEEHOO!!! This baby is DONE!!!

theres a billion rap songs that have nothing to do with sex and drugs and violence (not like racist ass tumblr users are using this excuse for legitimate reasons) but more importantly lets not pretend like sex and drugs and violence arent awesome

They’ll never do a Hitman level set in a Furry Convention because gamers would absolutely ruin it but imagine. like the target isn’t a furry he just owns a hotel that happens to have one every year but you can disguise yourself in a fursuit and some guy will ask you “what species is your sona” and 47 would be like “a wolf. i always felt a connection with…hunters.” and then diana would be like “let’s see if you can sniff out some information, furrty-seven” and then he comes to my house and kills me for writing this

I can act a little silly

but also serious. if the situation calls for it.

i still refuse to uninstall that mr beast youtube thumbnail extension so every time he appears on a rat video he just looks like the most deranged rodent keeper
