So last night I stopped by a good friend's house that I hadn't been to in over 2 months. As soon as I walked in I saw some old friends I hadn't seen in a while, said what's up, and immediately noticed on the T.V was an Elsa dressed up doing a skit with Spider-Man. I immediately knew it was this weird ElsaGate shit. I had no clue why they were watching it.
After a minute or 2 of greeting my buddies I directed my attention back to the T.V and noticed there were 2 young girls, about 7 years old, that were watching. They were my friend's 2 nieces whom I'd never met.
Any who, initially I couldn't help but blab a little something out about #ElsaGate immediately. Keep in mind, They've never heard of PizzaGate, Elsa Gate, or any hard facts on 9/11 for that matter. He's a family guy and doesn't really delve into conspiracies much. So for that reason it's always fun to talk to him about them, lol... I brought up #ElsaGate and the videos that were on in the other room... He seemed very concerned for his nieces well being and was all ears. I began telling him that many people considered those videos perverted for a variety of reasons. He was genuinely confused but had a little smile on his face because he knows I always have a conspiracy for everything. That's when I realized.
It's actually pretty hard to convince someone to see the darkness in something like that at the snap of a finger. Especially if they've made the decision previously to let them watch it. I've realized in order to properly illustrate my point I would have to get more passionate and resourceful than I was willing to at the time. We hashed it out for a bit, and he was even aware of some of the stuff like exploding hulks, constant shots, eating poop, but I could see it was probably better to drop it. So we left it at "Yea, you know eating play dough poop could just be goofy kid humor".
For some, entangling and dissecting conspiracy theories has no value. For others like myself, I find it energizing. I'm sure I'll have another conversation with him regarding #ElsaGate. A tiny seed was planted and with articles going mainstream at the very least I'll have semi-credible resources.. I will say this, it's truly comical trying to tell someone that their favorite rapper is gay, or the cartoons they let their kids watch are riddled with low key perversions...

It's so true. My sister is on our wavelength, told her to Google Elsagate and she deleted her You Tube app off her devices immediately..she has young kids.
I tried to tell some other friends...and just get the "I dont get it?" look. At least we tried.

Keep working on people. Some will have a glazed look, but those times you get through are Worth a Million.
