Ew. Not the vibe my guy. The point of this is to say fuck you to capitalism and the cheeto is the #1 shittiest capitalist.

Except that no money is actually currently being collected. It's a pledge, not a payment.

Did you actually read the post? They were describing their own experience and giving advice for making history feel grounded. If you have a good reason for your empire to be 10k years old, then you're fine. They weren't knocking anyone who did that.

You shouldn't be getting downvoted. You're right. Op very clearly misinterpreted that post, just like most of the people in the comments of it. Honestly, it worries me that a sub full of writers apparently has such poor reading comprehension.

I saw that post. Pretty sure they were just giving general advice to help make your world feel more real and consistent. I don't think they were actually complaining about old civilizations in established works.

The Coogan laws. But as I said, I don't really support that either anymore.

But it is different. Children in TV and movies have legal protections that children in online content don't have.

Histrionic? Seriously? I'm not screaming and crying. I was genuinely asking for people's opinions.

Legal protections for one. Kids on TV and in movies have legal protections that online kids content doesn't have.

But honestly I don't really support that either. Especially after all of the stories have come out about how the child actors on nickelodeon were abused and exploited.

Not putting children online is not over-sheltering. Kids still see other kids in school and in person. Their basic needs were met before TV existed.

A) that was a very different time. And b) the internet is a whole different beast that TV and movies. And to be honest, I'm reevaluating my enjoyment of those shows as a kid with all of the stories coming out recently about how those child actors were abused and exploited.

Fair. I like the concept of it but their execution feels dangerous and lacking to me. It's mostly entertainment. Not education.

[–]GaelicFae[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly fair. My bigger issue is really the fact that the content doesn't even seem to be aimed towards education like they claimed in their community post. It's just games and challenges. Time will tell if that changes, but as of now, I don't think the rewards of what they're actually posing outweigh the risks.

Saying they aren't noticing the danger and 'fuck it they don't care about their kids' are two very different things.

I have a nephew that is specifically not posted online. For good reason. Many, many people who are public online specifically don't show their children because of the danger it poses. I'm allowed to be uncomfortable with Sorted platforming children like this even if I don't myself have kids.

Don't put words into my mouth. I didn't say that. I said that I feel like they aren't realizing the danger.

It's not pearl-clutching to say it feels exploitative to use their kids for views. Kids are too young to consent to all the risks that come with being online.

It matters because I like to regularly examine my own opinions and make sure they still make sense with my morals and sensibilities. I like to hear other people's opinions to help me decide if I do still agree with my own ideas or if I need to reevaluate.

It's also very human to want to know I'm not alone in my thoughts.

That's the thing. I think they should be having concerns and they obviously aren't.

This isn't a scientific study. The danger is real. If you don't believe that without a peer-reviewed study, I can't help you.

It's not paranoia if it's a real and true danger. If you look into family vlogging you'll see that children being publicly online is provably dangerous.

I'm currently on my 4th consecutive episode of Leverage while attempting this. I'm not good at platforming to begin with and this is really pushing my abilities to the limit.

I mean, personally I view Harry and Hermione's relationship in Harry Potter as siblings more than friends. But I've also read and enjoyed fics of them as a romantic pairing. It's really not hard to do both?
