-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

There's this cognitive dissonance that we don't need to police things made for children because no one would be so evil as to manipulate a child, but also we're constantly worrying about random people manipulating our children.

So many contradictions....
