Periodic rent-lowering-gunshots:

  1. Fiction is not reality.
  2. You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it’s just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don’t affect anyone real, so they’re okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.
  3. No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It’s up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.
  4. No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don’t like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.
  5. You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.
  6. Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.
  7. The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.
  8. Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn’t stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.
  9. Sex isn’t an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn’t dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.
  10. You aren’t entitled to an explanation for why someone reads, writes, or otherwise enjoys certain works, kinks, tropes, ships, etc.

Most of those iPad babies you’re seeing are probably sick of that fucking tablet too.

A lot of parents are very bad at parenting and don’t like their children. They don’t want to talk to them, be around them or do anything with them. You know, the things kids need and will remember the most once they’re grown.

So they train them from an early age that they should always be distracting themselves with something as to not be in the way or annoying the adults.

For me it was books and TV when I was little, and computers later on. That’s all I did because it was all I could do without getting yelled at, and it was the closest to human interaction I could get most of the time.

Everyone loves to make fun of & complain about iPad kids but nobody thinks about the struggle of navigating life as an adult when you were forced to spend your entire childhood keeping yourself distracted so your parents didn’t have to acknowledge your existence.

This was reposted to YouTube shorts and I would like to point out some comments in the video

Please give your children some damn playdoh and crayons and oversized bits of craft paper to color on. They need something more concrete and tactile than smooth glass.

Maybe they do need something tactile, but you’ve missed the point of the post. It’s not the Ipad itself that’s bad, it’s the fact that the children are being neglected. You could hand a kid a whole library of books, several kilograms of play dough, a mountain of crayons, and all the craft paper in the world. But, if you don’t spend time with them and you simply expect them to use those things to keep themselves busy so you don’t have to deal with them, you’re still neglecting the kid, and they’re gonna end up with the same issues.

IMPORTANT

Running across this post almost immediately after reading the article about how some parents are letting fucking ChatGPT tell their kids bedtime stories now feels serendipitous in a way.
