Guarantee she’d spend her time on the music boards criticising everything. I’d bring her to a meetup and she’d drink everyone under the table.

A jokey headline in a vice article doesn’t negate the data within it.

But what are the downsides? :grin:

My Dad’s largely harmless on twitter, it’s mostly Viz humour. This was the last thing he posted.

Just read it. There are a couple of stats sandwiched between a whole load of sexist, ageist, poorly-executed “humour”. Hark at them, calling out mums for shitposting. And hark at you for defending Vice.

My old man’s gotten stuck right in with BTL commenting. Gotta do something in retirement I suppose.

Problem is his views on most things are thoughtful and erudite so there’s not much fan to be had there. Is Centrist Grandad a thing?

(He’s not a Grandad yet but he is very Centrist)

Vice posts some decent stuff.

Since my mum retired she’s been spending a lot of time arguing with Corbyn and Trump supporters in the comments of Guardian and Telegraph Facebook posts, but the other day I saw she’d been commenting on an article from a Paraguayan newspaper about two women who had crossed the border to Argentina to get married and she was giving this homophobe a right telling off, made my heart swell

My mum tweets about the archers and retweets pro Corbyn stuff

My dad is a centrist Dad and criticises Corbyn, he also posts pics of old Spurs stuff eg on this day Jimmy Greaves scored a hattrick against Coventry!

Despite my dad’s sometimes awful views IRL he’s actually quite adorable on Twitter. A grand total of 30 tweets, the most recent of which was “RIP, One of the great rockers!” on an RT about Rick Parfitt’s death, and 2nd most recent was “Urinated on your hand… that’s my boy!” when I tweeted about making Spice watch GBBO with me and him weeing on me as a thank you present. And his bio is so basic and old man-y that it’s really endearing.

I unfriended my parents and step family on facebook because the casual racism and general other isms was dragging me down. Don’t need to voluntarily subject myself to that shit ta.

pretty sure my mum has never used any piece of technology capable of using the internet so not a problem for me.

My dad uses Facebook to make deep theological insights into things, and to make slightly crap jokes on global posts. He could be a lot worse, really.
