Keepin' it reel

 Since my millennial moment in Aug of 2022, when I mentioned to Mr. Maron never putting a warning anywhere, or letting authorities know that his underage followers were being approached on his posts by fake Maron accounts, he did post a couple of IG Stories, warning folks away from those accounts.  I am glad to see he posted something a bit more substantial in a reel today.  Those making jokes about his warning must not have seen 2 recent news stories about young teen girls being kidnapped, raped, and locked up, by men who were able to get to them online.  One was found in a shed.  That IG warning is more important than Mr. Maron, or his fans, seem to realize.  Do they realize where those girls will be in a couple years?  Actually, they'll probably be getting fucked by old predators, and blamed for how someone fucked up their head as a child, because no one was protecting them online.

Truly is no wonder teen girls are self-harming and killing themselves at higher rates.

It was important to stop using using the R word, because of how it made people feel.  It was important to stop telling homophobic jokes, because their lives were in danger, and their suicide rate was so high.

I wish sexualized children could escape being exploited and laughed at.  I wish I didn't have to be a goddam squeaky wheel to get an Instagram Reel put up, because I finally found the right combination of words to make it happen.
