exactly! i feel like this would lead to more happy adults and children, so i hope this kind of awareness continues to spread.

plus, i’m certain that every single one of these sites is guilty of using these (especially Jezebel). 

but don’t forget the best starting point: why do we want children, and is having children the best/necessary way to reach that goal/outcome?

it’s weird how often this “take” comes up across sites; saw it a lot with Marilyn Manson too. there’s always someone to swoop in and make the dumb comment that, duh! dying your hair, having tattoos, wearing makeup, wearing a tad too much black, means everyone should have expected the worst!*

all i can think of is “taco”, but surely that can’t be it? “taco(s)“ is so short already! then again, so is “pizza”...

the Twitter change was fine and made perfect sense in the “What If...?” context; people are being stupid and Marvel hasn’t somehow forgotten about Sam. if it becomes more long term, then making separate Twitter accounts might make sense, but for now, it’s fine (and extremely unlikely to be permanent).

the subtle ones that really irk me:

if this is all self-admitted stuff, why would he deserve any immunity? play stupid games, and all that.

he mentioned that as inspiration :)

glad he mentioned Sokkuri Sweets, and i hope this is just as fun and silly.

might want to spell her name right (Anjelica Huston) if you’re going to talk about how great you think she is.

he’s not even going to remember their names or how many are even out there, so the wording of it will be... well, about what anyone could expect from someone making these kinds of excuses for his behavior.

it doesn’t matter why she was mocking her child, but that aside, the education system is a bit of a joke; there’s no guarantee that “following the rules” would somehow produce a successful human being anyway. it’s designed to churn out average people at best; it’s not like he was spitting in the face of some wonderful…

honestly, reminiscent of the comment sections whenever spanking comes up. people (and parents) that are cool with hitting kids show up in droves :/ .

what she said was awful, and i doubt it was the first or only time. plus, growing up in that kind of environment is not the kind of thing that just leaves you. most people remember their school bullies and how those bullies made them feel; with a bully parent, the impact is that much more. people mistreated by parents…

adding on here, since it disappeared elsewhere:

honestly; it’s really not even that hard to understand. he was belittled and mocked by a parent, which he’s freed himself from owing any fortune to. people in other scenarios express this all the time, from escaping bad bosses to ditching toxic friends to leaving crappy (or even abusive) relationships, and even other…

I’ll let you be the judge of that.

while i guess some could say it’s natural to feel owed something from a child after putting in the work to raise them... you’re not owed. feeding them and clothing them is pretty bare minimum stuff. it’s part of caring for the child you brought into the world, not some checklist to hold over their head later on, for…

this doesn’t sound like “worrying” to me, it’s exactly what it was labeled in the article: mocking. really disgusting that so many people here don’t see a problem with a parent addressing their child this way, and even worse, believe that the mocked child owes part of their fortune to the mocking parent.
