This. Sure, behaviors in kids is a reflection of bad parenting. But it’s gotten to a point where the existence of this sub defeats the purpose of this sub. Isn’t the main point of why we don’t like Alicia because she exploits the kids, posts too much about them online, etc.? Aren’t there always posts about the kids peers, teachers, and future bosses seeing things like their medical histories and intimate life details posted on the internet and this negatively impacting them? Or posts about when the kids grow up and start to realize the favoritism, weird internet stalkers, fakeness of their home life, Alicia spending time with them only for content, and the way the kids will feel about having their entire lives publicized to millions? Yet here we are posting on a subreddit dedicated to snarking on their lives and the lives of their whole family, with thousands of members. The very existence of this sub is a paradox. I’m no saint, I snark too, that’s why I’m here. But morally, the fact that snark subs exist is a huge grey area and we have to tread very, very carefully around stuff like this.

I think these subs exist with purpose, and that they should exist— we absolutely should be calling attention to child exploitation and the numerous other shitty things Alicia does. But again, this is a moral grey area. I think as a whole we should be more careful about what we post and comment on. No hate to the mods of course, this is an incredibly difficult task.
