Removing the fact that a lot of this started with religious fascism and colonization removes part of the history and singles out survivors of religious boarding schools who are very much survivors of the #TroubledTeenIndustry. I'm used to it by now but sick of it.

I have created r/TroubledTeenSurvivors an alternative to r/TroubledTeens. We will not put up with fake history, white washing, religious washing, Nazi like censorship, or idol worship of racist homophobes like Paris Hilton nor will we allow bullying of survivors or non survivors to post. Join us.
