>At that point they're only learning about human interaction from fucking youtube.
This is exactly why we have so much shit these days. Like, why are some young men struggling to form relationships? 'Cause they're scared of girls, and why? Because, as their fathers failed to raise them (as you've pointed out), they spent all their formative years playing video games and fucking off on the internet rather than going out with friends, meeting with other groups of friends containing the opposite sex and doing fun things together, thus learning how to interact like a normal human being. This would usually, hopefully, lead to them meeting a nice young gal who they'd go out with alone, gradually, until they began dating, and probably, eventually, start having sex with this person. It makes sense if you think about it. With video games now, there is so much choice and there are so many games that are made to just play aimlessly, forever (minecraft type stuff) that they'd rather do that than physically spend time with other human beings. They can bullshit with their friends while playing games online, of course, so yet another obstacle to in-person, human interaction. Even video game systems like nintendo and playstation are focused on the online experience, when that was formerly a strictly PC quality. All these activities are designed to make you spend money and waste enormous amounts of time. Time that people used to spend with others, they now spend alone. As a result, their social skills have gone to shit. Every young man is nervous around girls at 11 or 12, the first time he really finds himself interested in them. But they tend to get over that some time in high school, usually. Now, they just never do get over it. That's why you have shit like the Riley Whitelaw tragedy.
>A lot of parents honestly don't talk to their kids.
I remember volunteering once, and I made small talk with a young man, and he told me that his mother always told him to go away and shut up, why? Because she wanted to read her shitty smutty werewolf stories. No matter how much he asked, in some cases pleaded, with her to talk to him, she refused. She would tell her husband how much X body part hurt and all, but when her husband told her that their son was always offering to help, she told him no, YOU should help. She refused to let her son help her, always insisting her husband should help. Son volunteers to do the dishes? No, son, that's your father's job. Son says he can pick up some stuff from the grocery store after school? No, your father can do that when he leaves work. And he told me how he lost out on a chance to know his grandma after his mother spent his whole life calling her mother a bitch, cunt, whatever, only for her to go, after his grandma died, that she wasn't that bad, I never said any of that about her, it's not my fault, blah blah blah. Shit, he had to force her just to buy her late mom flowers (since they couldn't make the funeral).
His father went the whole gauntlet from polite requests to not be so rude to literal rage that could shake the entire room. Still nothing. His father eventually resigned himself to telling his son "just let it go, she'll learn when you've moved out," shit like that, but it only made things worse. The young man told me that ever since he left home, he doesn't speak to them at all, and of course his mother's the dindu nuffin, I was a good mom type. This young man, he could've easily fallen into the trap of being terminally online, but he chose to better himself, why? Because he had a strong support system. He had people looking out for him elsewhere. Sometimes, kids don't even have that, so they find themselves on Tumblr, 4chan, etc....
>This is a very big deal now that most kids are stuck home without viable options to spontaneously go out socialize with other kids on the free time.
Not where I live. Shit, kids here play so much that there was a letter sent to everyone's house asking them to keep their kids inside for a change since they were so noisy. Oh, those NIMBYs. Reminds me of the time I was on a bus and I heard two old fogies talking about how kids don't go outside anymore and I'm like dude, there's tons of kids outside. Hell, I'm even helping with remodeling the park I see 'em play in. Kids aren't as much of a lost cause as jealous nitwits would have you believe. I think a lot of terminally online folks are lowkey jealous because they blew their prime years on faggot shit nobody gives a fuck about, and those kids are actually LIVING as opposed to just existing.
