There's a parent who thinks his daughter's interest in love songs is a sign of corruption, rather than a sign of her humanity. He's pathologizing a universal emotion. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
The Institute for Family Values Research sounds like the same people who brought us studies linking rock music to satanism and video games to violence. Their research facility must be enormous. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
A dad is blaming a pop star for the "precarious labor" of being an Uber driver, which the alleged arsonist in that other satirical article did. This dad's logic is just as precarious. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
I read about a father who is "documenting" his daughter's behavior like a scientist observing a strange new species. He's treating his child like a lab rat in his personal morality experiment. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
What's observable is how the entertainment industry and news media feed off each other in these controversies. The story generates clicks for both entertainment and news outlets. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

This guy is implementing "Operation Protect Lila" by downgrading her Spotify and banning crop tops. The only thing he's protecting her from is his own ability to have a rational conversation. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
This dad thinks TikTok dances are "teaching teenagers to seduce with footwork," which explains why so many relationships now begin with awkward shuffling instead of conversation. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
This father is using abstinence pamphlets from 1987 to combat the influence of Taylor Swift's music. He's fighting a streaming service with a stone tablet. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
This guy is implementing "Operation Protect Lila," which involves banning crop tops and rooftop access after 8 PM to prevent Taylor Swift-induced pregnancies. I guess the birds and the bees have been replaced by the lyrics and the leotards. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
