minus-squareLilB0kChoy@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down3·8 months agoI never said it was blameless. Just seems silly to focus on blaming a corporation like Apple for a social issue when you could choose from so many other options. Anti competitive practices Contractor labor practices Environmental practices Materials sourcing Please don’t try and put words in my mouth.
minus-squaremindbleachlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoPlease don’t play dumb about this company’s role in a visible trend. You are explicitly blaming parents, instead of Apple. If you meant anything else then you fucked up.

Yeah, remember when Canada Goose caused all these people to get mugged for their jackets. You are explicitly blaming parents For the way their children behave? Yes. You do realize before there were text bubbles kids bullied each other over other things, right? The right clothes, shoes, bike, sports equipment etc. It’s lazy and irresponsible to blame a social problem on a company. Particularly when there are far more legitimate complaints about the company.
minus-squaremindbleachlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoNo problem has two causes, apparently. All or nothing. One or the other. Blaming parents instead of Apple, or else blaming Apple instead of parents. No way these known assholes could bear any responsibility in yet another problem.
minus-squareLilB0kChoy@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down3·8 months agoI guess I’m just not as emotionally involved as you. When I see or hear about a person behaving poorly I blame the person, and in the case of children I blame their parents too.
minus-squaremindbleachlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoHow dare anyone put words in your mouth, but calling an argument emotional is fine. Hypocrite. Hypocrite pretending systemic issues aren’t real.
minus-squareLilB0kChoy@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down3·8 months agoI called you emotionally involved, not the argument. No way these known assholes could bear any responsibility in yet another problem. This reads as emotional, specifically angry. As does the comment I’m replying to.
