Utilitarian brainworms or one of the many very real instances of a homicidal parent going after their disabled child? I can’t decide, but it’s a depressing read.

May end up on SRD, but you read it here first.

    What is it about Reddit and this specific scenario? I’ve seen people talk about how the brutal truth is that disabled children are bad over and over again. If you challenge this, you’re naive and possibly offensive. It’s one of Reddit’s weird fixations (see also: father’s rights).

      I think in a cultural landscape where we’ve been fed fascist male power fantasies for so long, it’s only natural that we’ve got a bunch of people who think it’s cool and good to be “brutal” and able to make “hard choices” and “doing what’s necessary” etc. That and reddit has historically always been besieged by fascist troll farms.

        oh absolutely, and it’s very funny when they try their typical bullshit here and on mastodon and it doesn’t work as they expect (at least for now — I’ve seen various attempts from these assholes to adjust their methods to work better on the fediverse)

          • He has some weird post about how there is no racism between nazis and black people (who he calls blacks) in the legion because they dunno all shout insults at each other and it is normal they go towards skin color first? 130 iq doesn’t get the basics of racism. Really weird.
