The video showed a teen crying after their grandfather put them in a headlock "because I asked to be called they/them." The account posted an Instagram reel on Tuesday showing a teenager crying while saying they were put in a headlock by their grandfather "all because I asked to be called they/them." The caption of the video is "BASED GRANDPA," with a fire emoji.
Essentially, you’re so worn out seeing this that instead of horrifying you, it just gets a, “And the sky is blue, what else is new?” response, correct?
If so, you might need a break from the internet. Becoming numb to this stuff is not healthy
There will always be horrible people, doing horrible acts it’s not a surprise nor newsworthy.
Do we need an article tomorrow when that same hate group leader says the N word?
He’s watching a video.
It’s not like he’s the one who did the act.
I sympathize with the victim but don’t see how this is any more relevant to society than the root of the child was hurt which should be it’s own article and call to action
We kinda do need these articles. These people push a narrative that they’re just “concerned about the children” and trying to save them from “groomers” (ie anyone who allows them the freedom and agency to figure themselves out and express themselves). Articles like this poke holes in the image they project, and show them for the monsters they really are.
Yes, you already know they’re monsters. So do I. But clearly, not everyone has gotten the message yet, and if we ignore their monstrous acts and words, those people will be left to listen to the narrative they do get.
Yeah, I’m not a bot, that was a really good haiku. I don’t think a computer could write that.
You’ll also literally never hear me say anything racist, because I don’t swing that way. I’ve no idea what that insane article is they’ve posted, but it’s news to me. This username is meant to sound like Liam Neeson, and I’m keeping it.
I was not impersonating a bot, I was being myself. I never pass up an opportunity to compose a haiku. Honestly, I may have been the only person not acting in bad faith. I do concede that it’s terribly unimportant.
This is bad.

Why not just say that you DGAF instead of being ambiguous?
Trolls gonna troll. Imagine if the only way you felt approval was from upsetting others? It must be a pitiful existence
I don’t understand how it’s news that someone who is known to do that sort of things does that sort of things
Dbt says the same type thing above

Compassion fatigue is nevertheless a well-studied phenomenon.
Compassion fatigue made me a nihilist before I found Satan.

Sincerely thanks for the clarification! I definitely hadn’t thought about it that way

careful, calling someone a bot will get you banned here, apparently. 🤷♂️

Oh wow, an account with “sneed” in the username responded without even being a part of the thread.
The whole of the lemmyverse is just crawling with bots, huh?
In the future, please consider including this information in report rather than just a comment.

Your username is fine. Our moderation team did investigate and were unable to find any substance to the claim that it is connected to white supremacy.
The comment about a haiku was removed because it was a way of accusing another user of being a bot, which violates the rules of the community.
Your reply was removed as trolling due to the fact that you were impersonating a bot by complying with the inappropriate request.
how DARE our users interact with each other! BAN THEM!
I am ashamed I was amused by the users submitting content to Lemmy. Obviously, lighthearted interaction based on jokes and frivolity is inappropriate.
I was not impersonating a bot, I was being myself. I never pass up an opportunity to compose a haiku. Honestly, I may have been the only person not acting in bad faith. I do concede that it’s terribly unimportant.
