Other ads animated a photo of a 14-year-old Instagram influencer “showing off her new sports club uniform” into “a video of her performing oral sex.”

Ok that's enough internet for now. Please alert me when it is safe to return.

    Internet? That's enough humanity. We had a... run. Time to burn it all down.

    fwiw, I think this is their actual endgame: use digital to convince people this isn't a small cabal of the ultrawealthy causing so much of this harm.

    They say dictators don't need majority support, only a majority of people doubting themselves.

    At least 56,575 children are sexually abused every year.

    That’s according to U.S. child protective services records.

    The number is staggering—yet it only reflects child sexual abuse that is recognized, reported, and found likely to have occurred against children ages 0-17.

    FBI crime data shows that 51% of reported rape is perpetrated against people ages 0-19.

    That’s approximately 61,754 young rape victims every year, including our most vulnerable children, adolescents navigating middle and high school, and young adults just beginning to move through the world with more independence.

    It's really not a small cabal of the ultrawealthy though.

    When what passes for the leader of the "free world" is a spearhead for pedophilia it's kind of a bit late to be safe talking about "normalizing" stuff.

    Well yeah, that's why it's so silly to see comments about how these people at the top are trying to normalize it. It already is, they're already in power, they're not going anywhere.

    Trump lost, but when he racked up a bunch of felonies, found guilty of rape, and deep connections with Jeffery Epstein’s sex-trafficking operations… well America decided to give him another shot. I’m super curious what the textbooks aren’t going to say.

    I doubt that group would be very significant if it weren't for the outsized influence of a handful of very wealthy, decadent men. At the very least there would be fewer roadblocks to doing something about the rest of the pervs.

    I think we say, "don't hold your breath," in English.

    Or “don’t count on it” (because if you did you’d be counting for eternity)

    I’m sure there’s more I’m not thinking of right now…

    “Why don’t you wish in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills up first”

    … yeah, I like the chair one

    When I was a kid I thought the saying was “why don’t you piss in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills first?” And I was like wow adults are gross

    My mother used to say "If wishes were horses," and I had no idea where that came from. I didn't get internet until after her death in 2001. I looked up that saying and the complete version is, " If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. " Apparently, it's a very old saying so I guess adults weren't always gross.

    idk which hand you’d fill first doing that method, lmao

    It’s basically just a crass way to say “wishing is for suckers”

    That sounds kinda close to an old saying I've heard once in over 40 years

    Put a finger in your mouth and a finger in your anus, and hope; if that doesn't work, switch around.
