Think with logic:
One boy
One set of parents
On camera constantly from age 7+. [this video turned him into a superstar from all the backlash in posts like this from 2015 onwards]
Every time he shows up on camera, disapproving media outlets talk about a “trend” of some kind. People turn off their logic circuits and go “Yeah, I disapprove as well of this trend.”
But…
What trend?

Moving forward in time from 2015 to late 2018, same boy is 11 years old.
Dec 2018 a sit down Q&A between mom and son.
You’ll get far more information watching this than you would watching twerking from 4 years ago.

It’s true. Twerking is a bit passe now as Fortnite dancing took over but back in 2015, it was all over the place.

I posted a video specifically about the boy in his own words with his mom in her own words, from just a few months ago, just below.
If you’re only talking about him and not “oh no a trend”, it’s better information than a 10s dance from 4 yrs ago.

I can get on your side.
But as a “downfall of civilization” pov? Nah. I can’t back it, not with this. It’s a kid actor to me, no worse or better than any other kid actor situation and all that goes with that.
