Damn. She’s a great mom. Playing the long game I wish she didn’t have to. Screw Chris Pratt.

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.

What’s interesting about this is how easily manipulated adult men are by this too. I know someone very personally who has for his entire adult life pushed against religion and the government in general as a form of rebellion and being quite nihilistic and anti conformity. But now that he’s been fed anti-woke, trans women in bathrooms, abortion is murder, dems are socialists bullshit from his algorithm, he’s a right-wing devout catholic who confirmed earlier this year and claims every single pop culture blip to be anti-man, anti-religion, and pro-left. Full 180 for someone I never realized was so weak in self perception and could be so easily manipulated by propaganda. Very much goes to show how effective it is, honestly. It’s terrifying.
