People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

I do think its a right for people to not have stupid cringey names. Thats part of why you can legally change your name. Unfortunately, as far as I am aware, children are not granted that ability and are thus stuck with their shitty name their parent gave them.

Do I think naming your child Jahckqylynn is child abuse? No, but should children be condemned to 18 years of living with that name because their parents are cringey and dumb? I also think no. Now naming your child Margarita Corona? Yes that is fucked up and borderline child abuse

They can legally change their name before 18, in merkkka anyway. But yea its harder as a minor, and outside of last name changed for marriage its a lot of beaurocratic bs, ie time and money. I dont mean to counter your point, its a valid point. But for any Jackleneighs or whatever the fuck whod rather be Jackies, or Jackies whod rather be James, its possible sooner than 18. Again it be easier to wait tho...
