Jfc. The snowflakes here.

Yes, fuck Apple, sure. But tell your kids they don’t have to care. In the end it’s just a computer and any relationship that actually matters won’t teeter on which fucking app you use. If your kid is getting ostracized from a group ONLY because they don’t use iMessage, tell them they’ve found the wrong group and they’re worth way more than that. Real friends are more than willing to take a 2-second step and install a second chat app to accommodate friends who cannot use iMessage. There are more androids out there than iPhones anyway.

Corporations are not your friends. They will not take responsibility for your kids unless they’re forced or they decide they want to get paid for doing it. Your kids deserve to know how to navigate society despite this. Teach them.

It's bizarre you're getting downvoted for saying this. Yeah, a lot of teens / kids won't understand, but that's fine if they don't immediately understand. Pain brings progress.

Downvotes don’t bother me. Both figuratively and literally, considering they don’t seem to be federating.
