I real­ize that many par­ents think that they’re doing good by their kids when they choose to limit their expo­sure to the ran­dom­ness of the world, but it just makes me deeply deeply sad. And so I simul­ta­ne­ously am amused by Cha­tRoulette and depressed because I real­ize that so many folks would pre­fer to keep them­selves and their teens/college-aged-kids shel­tered rather than giv­ing them a way of think­ing about sys­tems like this and teach­ing them to walk away when things get weird. And this deserves a Le Sigh Royale.
