Who's to say they're not looking at art on their ipad? Not being able to afford or have the time or ability to take a day off and travel to a gallery, or having a neurodiverse kid who doesn't like crowded spaces, or whatever other reason they might be using an ipad doesn't make "ipad kids" bad.
I don't disagree with your larger point, just with the framing of "ipad kids" as the bad part when it's a symptom (of a society where people feel obliged to have kids even if they don't want them and/or are required to work so hard just to survive that they don't have the time and energy to spend with their children).
(and for the record just to save any jumping to conclusions - I don't have kids, don't plan to, this isn't some defensive thing, I just think that your framing is off)
I wish I could live somewhere where art galleries are crowded...
Or maybe what you think of as crowded and an autistic person thinks of as crowded aren't necessarily the same?
When I go to museums and galleries, it's entirely typical for me to see like 2-3 people in the same area as myself. In one gallery that I used to frequent I was usually the only person inside at all.
2-3 people is certainly very far from a crowd.
And your experience of 2-3 people in a gallery is far from typical. Either way, you're deliberately missing the point..
