The scary thing is the way 13 year olds have been able to successfully colonise LBG and women's space online and bully the fuck out of adults pushing back. Schoolyard bullies have escaped the confines of actual schoolyards. Social media is a scary weapon in the hand of children and the child-minded.

    I saw a comment on reddit recently saying part of why Twitter has become so awful is probably because so many people who left Tumblr after the adult content ban moved to Twitter. I hadn't considered that. It's probably true.

    But now half of them are adults, vote, and are listened to.

    Not sure about the vote part. Young people are the cohort least likely to vote, their % is appallingly low.

    Yes but middle class white privileged young people who have nothing better to do than get all bothered by gender politics and skirts go spinny are probably the ones that also have the time to vote.
