RE: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@eniko/116392906798713909 Having lived through both (and the book bans, Chinese products, vaccines, food additives, video games, rap, non-English speakers, fucking other people's family BBQs, ect ect) it's all the same thing. It's always the same thing, (rich/white) people blaming something else instead of their shitty abusive parenting and the harmful status quo they depend on to explain why their abused and hurting kids are abused and hurting.

And just to be clear. There is a distinction between the D&D satanic panic bullshit and the racist, transphobic or ableism of anti-vaccine or whatever "it's all a woke mind virus" bullshit the right is spewing sometimes. One is "stone the child in the town square for his depression" sort of murder; the other is fucking genocide. Plain and simple. However, they are rooted in the same reactionary fears and need to blame something, anything, else other than the in-group.

@Kalshann "GMO vaccine algorithms made by Mark Zuckerberg are why my kid is trans / autistic / depressed / whatever and I won't stop until food dyes are banned."

@Kalshann There is ample data demonstrating harmful effects of social media, especially on children. It’s a curse and we’d be better off without it.

@Kalshann The part that kills me, is that social media is harmful for kids. It was designed and built that way. But rather than force companies to build a safer system, we just out right ban it causing greater harm

@Kalshann I am in education and when phones were banned the kids went outside to play and tell me they are much happier
