Torah: Thanks! And I think you’re right for the most part. It’s just that it’s not only reverse psychology to taunt their parents and rebel, though that’s an element; there’s also a factor of, wow, they’re banning it? It must be cool. It’s like in Harry Potter, when Umbridge bans the Quibbler and as a result the whole school reads it. It’s new, it’s forbidden, and if this whole society that’s trying to get us to conform and do our homework instead of doing fun stuff is banning it, it must mean it’s something worth doing. That’s even before you hit the whole rebellion angle.
