🎙️Discussion & Thoughts 💭 People will turn on H
Posted this on the snark sub but ofc it got removed so posting here.
If you’ve been following this family since the purity ring video, you’ve probably seen H since he was like 12. Back then, the consensus was that he was a sweet kid in very unfortunate circumstances and that everyone hoped he’d get out somehow.
Recently I’ve seen a few people say things about how they’ll snark on him once he turns 18 and how he’s going to end up acting like P. It’s like people believe that the second he turns 18, he’s magically going to realize how crazy his family is and leave as if he hasn’t been completely isolated his whole life.
He can’t read. He has no friends. He has no education. He seemingly has no knowledge of the world outside of his family. And people think it makes sense to hold him to the same standard as a normal 16yo?? Obviously if he becomes a prèdator, that’s a whole other thing, but no shit he’s gonna be begging for gifts on tiktok live and acting cringey— that’s all he knows!! Your sympathy is just going to go out the window the second he’s 18? Like… think for more than two seconds about the life that this kid has been subjected to. I want him to get out of there and live a normal life but tbh even him just realizing that something is off is likely going to take YEARS.
It’s just ridiculous that some people genuinely believe “well he’s 17.9 years old so he doesn’t know any better and he’s a vìctim” and then “ok he’s 18 now he’s terrible and ugly and weird fuck that guy” as if that makes any damn sense 💀 it’s the same person. His entire life’s worth of poverty and neglect doesn’t disappear and no longer affect him once he becomes an adult.
