And I don’t mean things you previously had no strong opinion about.

What is a belief you used to hold that you no longer do, and what/who made you change your mind about it?

    I consider people who adopt to be basically heros. I can hardly think of a more selfless act than to give home to a child without one. That is an absolutely glorious thing for someone to do.

      Unless they’re a family vlogger. Screw those people.

      Ultimately, the adoptee might still be in a “better position” in terms of food and shelter, but they lose privacy and anonymity, and are often treated like shit off camera (sometimes on)

          Some YouTubers will go and adopt a child and then vlog about their lives with said kid for views. It’s sad.
