I personally can't stand this sort of thing because it conflates something personal/intimate with a press release, and that's just kinda gross to me.

If your parental style happens to include sexual abuse, yes it does. Whether a parental style consisting of a hyperreal social platform and being the child of the man who created it causes a serious rift in your sense of reality remains to be decided.

Oh for sure, there's a level of intimacy involved that, in a way, acts as a buffer against criticism.

To criticise the lovely sentiment would be like pointing out a child making a half-dozen spelling errors in their letter to Santa Claus.
