@Lognormal_guy @_elena You’re right—kids are scooped up in this that wouldn’t have otherwise, even if it is a small percentage. I personally think of this as an extension of what we are seeing at the intersection of algorithmic social media and right-wing content culture.
People are heavy-lifting the Overton Window to the right by making *really* compelling content. (This goes back too! I’m thinking of things like the Alex Jones Gay Frogs rant—which is odious and objectively very funny.)
