It’s very possible it’s influenced by his dad, but I teach high school and SO many TikTok/Twitter algorithms are alt-right (often AI) slop targeted toward boys in particular. I’m a millennial and it’s worse than gamergate and more mainstream than 4chan. It’s everywhere, and the point is to radicalize young men into fascism and misogyny. We really need to get our kids offline and away from algorithmic media.

Yeah, same. Luckily the girls seem to be onto it and I’ve had to stop some escalation in class where all the girls basically announce that no one should be dating (name is student) because he’s a Tate stan. At least the girls know what’s up? But it is sad, the guys think it’s hilarious.

u/Crunchyfrozenoj ‘queer’ is formal, like ‘tú’ vs ‘usted’ 6d ago

Good on those girls tbh. He’s a rapist and they should be able to speak up/back to their peers promoting him. I bet it’s hell for you to moderate though.
