Point is, it honestly doesn't matter what issue it's being applied to, the whole 'Those under 25 have underdeveloped brains' argument doesn't hold up any way you slice it. It's often just an easy way of dismissing the valid perspective of younger people. Which isn't good. /end 5 comments
 @Garwboy I've come to believe that whenever someone is putting forth an argument that kids are physically incapable of handling something, it's definitely nonsense. I've only ever seen this from people interested in keeping kids powerless and unheard.  @justafrog @Garwboy Which is most people, in my experience. If I had basic human rights when I was a kid, I could have saved myself a lot of unnecessary suffering. @enoch_exe_inc @Garwboy Wish you were wrong. So many people thought it was quite normal to skip past the consent step with me, and certainly didn't consult me before deciding about me. Only when I could legally sue their asses did they suddenly discover respect for personal autonomy. That was a very interesting change. So they know about the concept, just can't be assed to apply it to people who can't fight back? Fucking creeps.  @justafrog @enoch_exe_inc @Garwboy I just saw the best thing ever: > Never trust someone who won't apologize to a child. And that's my new litmus test for "is this human being someone I can trust as far as I can throw them?" |
