On the flip side when I encounter this offline it’s someone who’s so disillusioned they can’t even bother to figure out how to describe themselves politically (and I don’t blame them). Not to invalidate what you’re saying because I’ve noticed it as well, but to give some hope that some of the kids are alright
You are right, there are people who just gave up. But they sadly don’t comment most of the time.
There’s probably a good amount of literal kids on these networks who are just too young to understand/like politics. And suddenly see their idols get into stuff they don’t understand. It’d be interesting to figure out ratio of kids to adults who dislike people/media/companies “going political”
Intriguing argument, you got there.
Not sure if sarcasm or not. But I’m also not saying the kids are the majority - I just remember going to shady websites when I was 12. The internet felt safer back then but what kid is going to be stopped by “are you at least 13?” prompt. Imagining kids going to your_least_favorite_instance also seems petty bad.
no sarcasm
