I hear the currently deceased 8chan and the still going 4chan are a haven for saying any b******t you like and being encouraged in it. Never been on those, but 9gag is bad enough. The racism and mysogyny is shocking and very few people ever get criticised for it. I'm not a signed up user to it, so am not in a position to do so and feel I would be wasting my breath if I did. Maybe if all the reasonable people on Bored Panda bombarded the users of other sites with our common sense, we might get somewhere. Remove the approval, but don't replace it with shame. Replace it with reason.

I am flabbergasted that a person can read this, and think that the poster is declaring that "white men are bad". I grew up in a Christian household, my father a white Christian minister, Master of Divinity. I was taught that racism, sexism, violence and hatred, is _unChristian*_, and has no place in a developed society. (Because I grew up in a family that valued education, I was also taught that racism, hatred, sexism, and violence is against Jewish doctrine, Muslim doctrine, and are in all aspects unhealthy elements that must be addressed in society.)

So happy this mom is not my mom. I'd rather be told to think for myself instead of being programmed to see everything as a racist danger.

If we're boiling politics down to left wing, right wing, and undecided, then I've seen plenty of people in all of those groups who have said "people are too sensitive" and "you can't say anything anymore". There's rarely any bigotry, from what I've personally seen, as it's usually about having their right to free speech maintained, instead of silenced. Ricky Gervais' latest show, After Life, has a joke in it where he responds to a little boy who calls his character a "paedo" by calling the kid a "tubby, ginger c**t". When this was available to the masses via Netflix, did people get upset because he called a little kid a "c**t"? No. They got upset because he called a ginger kid "ginger". How is that worse? I'm not suggesting we should say whatever we want, because words can incite violence, even to a small degree, but we shouldn't be shamed for speaking at all.

is it not a parents job to guide their children? im seeing quite a lot of comments assuming that just because this woman is showing her son how to decipher the media that may or may not be influencing him without his knowledge, makes her a monster. that she does not have the right to tell her son why someone may be offended if he shares this or says that. would you rather her have no interaction with her son? or tell him that if anyone disagrees with you, they are wrong, or snowflakes, or just cant handle the truth? to me she has done her role as a mother, who actually cares about her sons future, very well. he will grow and know that he is allowed his own opinion and that it should be an informed one at that and he will be aware of the people out there trying to take advantage of his lack of experience.

She is so right. Never thought about it that way before.

This is what happens when instagram makes their own memes because they can't remove reddit watermarks.

I mean if they are posting/liking memes stuff like drawings of POC in a stereotypical, racist manner then that's a red flag. But just not being liberal/progressive makes you a fascist?? FOH with that B.S. you shouldn't teach your kids to immerse into a political identity, you should just teach them to treat people regardless of race, gender, ect. fairly. Doing that and not liking SJWs is not mutually exclusive.

Turning your boys into whipped weak beta males is pathetic.

Ok Boomers

I am a black female and I believe it comes down to what you are taught at home. I was raised in a home where having friends of all kinds of races, religions, and sexes was and is okay. How people interpret the world and view all other people starts with their parents. If parents are racially intolerant that might encourage their kids. However, once a person gets to be a certain age, they can make their own decisions about who they are around. So yes you should monitor your kids on the internet, but you should also be leading by example.

Hahahaha quick everyone, get your victim hats on!! Its an another alt right conspiracy! So the truth is - you need to keep your eye on what your children are doing and seeing online. The rest of it is all your own paranoid nonsense.

Some corners of the internet need a good Grandma and Grandpa to come in. Talk to these now-grown-up kids who went from obnoxious 12yos saying "poopy" on the internet to obnoxious, sometimes vile, people who have had no peer pressure to make them be moral people. They need Grandma and Grandpa to charge into the group, shake their finger, tell them to grow up, mind their manners, stop acting the fool, and what-would-your-mother-think?!

She lost me when she said its wrong to be offended by people not saying Merry Christmas. I'd happily say Eid Murbaraka to a Muslim friend, or Happy Hanukkah to someone who's Jewish. Not saying Merry Christmas just devalues the significance of Christians and of their religion

Yeah, it's always someone else's fault...

Anyone who doesn't see this on both sides of the aisle is not paying attention.

The irony is lost on them thinking that the right is "grooming" yet they are grooming then to be leftists.. why not just allow your kids to be their own person. To grow, learn, and think for themselves?

This mom can shut the f**k up, she probably one of those white guilt, pro feminist moms no one likes..

Don't actually do this. Jesus.

I did not read this post other than the Title and I was uninspired to fully look a photos. Not because I felt negativity but because there is no such thing as racism, their is only hatred any being is able to say filthy words but for some people their is a negative spite to their conversation. Such things don't bother me because once you understand yourself and not the label persons place you understand that word are man made an deception is in the fibers but not in your own existence.

Some of this does happen, but I honestly think that most memes (even the ones that are edgy) are fine. Some people just abuse tags like #edgymemes to be able to post disgusting things. The problem is just the social media can't always keep the two apart and so a lot of bad s**t gets posted under tags like #edgymemes. Btw I like memes so 🤷‍♂️

The poor kids of this psycho woman are going to run screaming from that house when they’re old enough and never look back

This point of view involves a vast conspiracy where vloggers and posters of memes have come together to to recruit young people into their racist club. That is so ridiculous. Maybe people are just starting to see something in our society and they are working out problems with it and their own feelings about it. Some see this as white supremacy but in reality it's human nature and has nothing to do with being white.

what utter nonsense

This is BS, why are young children and teenagers on the internet in the first place? People should only be allowed on the internet when they understand what it is and the consequences of using it. I also didn't read this thread on Twitter because she started it with 'white teenage sons', it's her responsibility to check what her teenager is getting into.

Stupid

Obviously a liberal just bitching to have something to b***h about.

The woman who is brainwashing her son must have seen the negative response and shut down (You must click to view sensitive content) by bringing in some SJW (Socialist Justice Wuss) to downvote the people calling her out as horrible mother. When he volunteers for Thomas Massie in the next few years, look back at this and realize why he has become an “extremist” libertarian. You are essentially engaging in child abuse. That child should be taken from your home.

Wait! I have an idea. There's a word for it...IRL. You know. Go outside, take the effing computer away, be the parent who makes their own memes if you must but get outside. Even if you just stand there, it's better than posting whatever was posted. I got bored around...oh...the first Twitter post. I'm fairly certain there's parental controls too...unless it's changed in the past 2 minutes.
