    As the population of people raised on the internet increases, you’ll see far more anger responses to the idea that being raised on the internet is bad for you.

    Nobody wants to believe they might not have done it right.

    That being said, kids generally do dumb things, and your initial comment seems a bit harsh for something as silly as rizz tag.

      There’s a correlation that these kids are spending hours of their time on the internet (that’s how this slang spreads to them) and the fact they can’t read. I don’t see how it’s harsh to point it out, I just think maybe it hit too close to home for some folks.

        You just have a chain of unprovable assumptions there.

        Kid’s use slang -> they must have picked it up on the internet -> many people are illiterate -> the parents of these specific kids are not raising them right
