My mother is 80 years old, and I’m astounded that she thinks she can have a “voice” in this discussion despite my multiple reminders that she is white and she has privileged white children.

They named him Huxley. But he wasn’t perfect enough in their own brave New world.

The bigger mystery to me is, who watches these videos? Who follows these people and wants to listen to basic people spewing basic shit for 45 minutes, which could be condensed into 2 minutes but they stretch it out foreeeeever to get more $$$$?

Fuck these people - and almost all others - for living their lives online. Yes, it generates an income, but so does a lot of other stuff that people shouldn’t do. You sit down to a video and say it’s the hardest... video you’ve ever had to make publicly? Then thanking your viewers... and their nice comments. Maybe…

The performance, the tears, ick! It’s so gross.

If they wanted to protect his privacy they could just, you know, not make a youtube video about him in the first place

Yeah, these people are gross, but it very well could work out in the child’s favor. Being raised by these parents would probably not be in his best interest.

“Married with Children” was never the same after Seven was introduced. They must have been a Cosby house.

Dude, these two Heaven’s Gate-looking MFers tossed him out like yesterday’s newspaper because he inconvenienced their lifestyle and “developmentally disabled” doesn’t fit their brand. They were OK when he was just a little autistic - aesthetically pleasing and suitable for display on camera - but not when he was full…

This ‘family as performance’ shit is angering in ways I cannot reasonably put into words using my mushy quarantine brain.

My friend was given back to the adoption agency after his first set of parents decided he was too sullen as baby. I think good riddance to those people, he ended up with a loving family and was too young to really remember that first family. These people publicly documented his stay with them so it’s out there…

Certainly hope they didn’t send him to a farm upstate.

A few things to add color to the discussion:

One can only expect so much interest after introducing a new character to the show. It made sense to get rid of that autistic kid character - her and the beard’s obviously real emotion and devastation makes fairly captivating content. But still... 3/5 enjoyed it, but looking for newer narcissist influencers.

I take issue with the idea that if a white woman says something negative about a WOC it’s automatically racist. So white women can only say positive things about WOC and anything negative can only be about white women? It’s kind of a dumb and simplistic way of viewing things. And so is reducing everything to someone’s…

Bryan Ray Trout is his birth name, which makes going by “Skeet” seem downright sensible.

I would and not just because of quarantine horniness.  Anytime, Skeet  

I was so into Skeet Ulrich in the 90s.

She's absolutely Lena Part 2, and it's already a pattern. https://www.pajiba.com/celebrities_are_better_than_you/alison-roman-and-the-exhausting-prevalence-of-ethnic-erasure-in-popular-food-culture.php

strong Lena Dunham vibes from Alison Roman, so I imagine we’ll just hear shit like this again. and again. and again.
