Oh, they’re coming round in popularity, particularly among Gen Z.

Yeah I’m assuming they didn’t have any of those handy if getting a phone was what made it possible

But they don’t encourage open thought and critical thinking. They basically tell you what to think.

I’m in complete agreement. The Internet should have been amazing for democracy. Then they went and privatised it, to control the online landscape and push propaganda.

When the world stops being a neoliberal hellscape

Theseus’ ship wants to know if those fillings are really part of you

To me, that’s not necessarily evil, just selfish. Selfishness can be and often is evil, but to me true evil is deliberately causing pain for your own pleasure; sadism without a masochist.

Stop making unfounded assumptions and return to reality.

Why did you ask why they’re “hiding” when it was never stated or implied that they’re “hiding”? Even in the “gay people” metaphor, the gay people weren’t “hiding”, they just didn’t openly display their homosexuality. Hiding would be staying at home and never leaving, in that scenario.

I did read the thread. You asked why they’re hiding. Who said or implied they did?

Who said they’re hiding? I don’t see that claim anywhere. Do you have a link to someone saying they hide their leashes, please?

I guess you’ve sharpened your rhetoric down to its most abstract level, huh?

Which only adds to their point, actually. You literally just proved that their lack of representation did not mean they didn’t exist - there were other reasons.
