People seem to forget this is an age where people are raised off technology more than ever before, and a lot of young impressionable boys easily fall into the alt right pipeline because they happen to stumble upon podcasts of people such as Andrew Tate.
Charlie Kirk is one of the most prominent and hateful alt right people, and his immense popularity makes his takes far more dangerous than they would be if he were just a small time debater on a little forum like this (or something to that degree). Tons of kids are at risk of seeing his takes and easily believing them and even trying to expand upon them by themselves.
This isn't even a stretch either. Minors, mostly ones that are prepubescent, are very easy to influence. Hell, I was like 9 years old and I was running around the school yard at recess
like sonic and imitating
moves he did and I only played like two or three of his games before I became a big fan of him.
It really is just that easy to make kids idolize you and like you (ESPECIALLY if they're having troubles with, say, their crush not liking them, and then they stumble upon a podcast bro yapping about how women are skanks that you owe nothing to so you shouldn't worry if they dislike you), and that's why Charlie Kirk was such a dangerous man. I still don't think he needed to DIE because of what he was doing, but at the same time, I'm still glad he can't spew venom at impressionable people anymore.
