I feel like if parents took the internet more seriously from the start and were more actively engaged in what their rotten teenagers were getting up to online we might have had at least a slowdown of the awful decay of society as our worst intrusive thoughts now not only have space to be seen without consequence, we have entire communities supporting each other’s rotten intrusive thoughts.
Honestly, if my parents had any idea how many creeps were on AOL, I probably would’ve been banned from it. We’re like the “grew up with no seatbelts and survived” version of internet users.
