Showing Original Post only (View all)Is Barron "off limits," here and elsewhere? [View all]
A couple of recent posts on Facebook have sparked outrage on the part of some, arguing that mocking Barron Drumpf is beyond the pale.
The first was a meme I remember from my own adolescence (some decades ago), regarding nude photos of one's mother. The meme was posted in response to a GIF where the First Kid did not give a high five to his mother during inauguration ceremonies.
The other is a Change.org petition aimed at NBC/Bombast over something Tweeted by a cast member of SNL.
I have yet to weigh in on either discussion.
Some would argue "sauce for the goose" -- i.e. attacks against Chelsea Clinton, the Obama girls and even the Bush daughters did not prompt such outrage while their respective dads were in office -- so Barron is fair game.
Others argue that children -- including and especially those of public figures -- should be shielded from ridicule and even "bullying" in social media.
Your thoughts, please!
