His entire stance is speculation. Am I supposed to debate whether this kid that none of us know is a contrarian tryhard moron who is just trying to be edgy, or a freedom-fighting hero sjw, despite having zero facts on any of it? I'd rather stick to the facts. When you disengage from logical, adult discussion about the facts of the article, and start making up shit (e.g. "This whole thing is just a publicity stunt put on by the parents to get paid") that's when the conversation breaks down and there is nothing to make a rebuttal to. If you want to be taken seriously, make mature, adult posts. If you want to be laughed at for being a shitposter, then pull assumptions about the kid and the parents out of your ass.

I would not because if the child didn't want to participate I would be interested in why. Depending on the age this could mean a lot of different things.
