Meanwhile, half of them are illiterate. The parents need to get themselves and their children off the internet.

Let’s start with you then.

Done. I don’t have any children and am not using a device to occupy them.

In all seriousness, this outright angry reaction is really surprising. People should be angry that their children are illiterate, but I suppose if they were, the children wouldn’t be.

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.
