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.

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.

And that's my new litmus test for "is this human being someone I can trust as far as I can throw them?"
