I'm Pasker, and I believe in radical inclusion and youth liberation. Radical inclusion means the inclusion of non-normative identities such as transids, and the inclusion of paraphiles such as MAPs and Zoophiles. Youth liberation the youth should have more rights in a society, and that the youth is capable of making responsible and worthwhile decisions financially, medically, legally, sexually, and socially.

I am against the abuse and exploitation of minors and animals.

Something that urgently needs to be understood abut today's youth, in particular how it pertains to the fediverse and open web as a whole is that they are not growing up alongside the internet anymore. This seemingly self-evident statement has huge ramifications that a lot of tech enthusiasts don't seem to be aware of.

(Thanks to @tzeentcha for most of the input on this topic. More toots below.)

What We mean by that is that the web has, in a sense, stopped growing. Sure, FAANG had a strong grip on many a generation growing up - monopolizing attention, experimenting on behavior manipulation, optimizing away the intra-creature connections and insistently pushing algorithmically curated recommendation feeds as the primary means of interaction - but, until relatively recently, it was still pretty widely understood that that's not all there is to existing on the internet.

That is rapidly changing for kids nowadays, however, and it's going down largely unnoticed.
