Hoooold up just a minute. How much do these glasses cost? Like hundreds right? What kind of teen boy has that much money to burn? I sure as fuck didn't, and I worked. Their parents bought them, and these are kids, so it's 100% blame on the parents here.

    Even if the kids bought them it is still the parent’s responsibility to keep their kid from being an obnoxious pervert.

    That's what really sucks about this.

    There's no institutional backlash. (At least not yet. That could change.)

    We're depending on parents who park these little shits in front of screens and expect to be left alone while their kids are radicalized.

    I had thousands as a teenager from around 15 years old working part time evening and weekends at barely above minimum wage.

    When you have no expenses from living at home, you can save everything (and in my case blow it all on electronics lol)

    It's not much different than a kid asking for a playstation or iphone for Christmas

    When I was 16 and started working, I quickly had enough money saved from working minimum wage, part time, to buy myself a car. It's not impossible.

    Also, these may be kids/young adults, but they should all know right from wrong. Blame is absolutely on the students who use these too.
