      It’s not surprising, we shouldn’t be giving developing brains this much access to the internet. I promise you he did not think of doing this on his own.

      Okay but this image is probably older than the Tate brothers being popularized.

      Boys will be boys is a saying for a reason. And I don’t mean it in a positive sense in this instance

        While this is an old saying, misogyny and disrespect like this are learned behaviors, not naturally occurring.

        This kid is, what, 12? And he’s publicly talking on social media about how he thinks he’s got the charm to get in his teacher’s pants. Call it what it is: this kid has been groomed by “influencers.”

          Before influencers it was just the media, tv, movies, friends who made people delusional enough to have those notions

            Yep, and I’d add family to the list. A lot of this stuff comes from how parents act around their friends as well, both in public and private.

            It’s the original definition of memes: information passed on outside of genetics.
