I am desensitized to most things now. But it also taught little autistic me how to converse with people in a way that wasn’t excruciatingly stressful. I miss the chatrooms of days yonder. It also taught me to lie about my identity on the net. I never use real info, so my internet footprint is tiny.
The 90s. We saw the goatse guy on our school computers.
Even as a young teenager, I was building my own computers. If my parents wanted to use the computer, they had to use mine. They had the gall to install a cybernanny program on it to keep me from ‘the bad stuff’. I quickly figured out a backdoor through it and made it obsolete. The worst thing is I knew my dad was watching porn on it cause he clearly wasn’t browsing in private or clearing the browser history when he was done. Goddammit and I was supposedly the immature one.
Ever notice how it’s always the moralizers who most egregiously break their own rules?
Moralizing is a sign of moral failure. Those with a strong sense of right and wrong are concerned with things that actually help or hurt people, not trifles like online pictures of naked women.
It didn’t really mess me up, I just don’t feel any empathy for other people any more… 🤷
The internet gave me a mommy fetish and I no longer look at some pokemon and tails the same
