saying "kids imitate people" so therefore you should tolerate "insert behavior"
is obviously absurd. when kids imitate bad behavior, we correct them.
the hyperventilating and pearl clutching over the Andrew Tate comparison illustrates this perfectly.
when it's behavior you think is bad obviously "kids will be kids" is instantly discarded.
"so kids imitate!" is obviously not a valid defense.
it's mostly just a way to avoid having to make an affirmative case for a middle schooler twerking after going 1/8 from 3.
Hey man if that’s the parallel you want to get to because a 9 year old danced after making a shot, you got it.
I just want to crack jokes
