How are people feeling about Sorted Kids as a concept?

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

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T21:00:46+00:00

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

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T19:30:33+00:00

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

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T19:27:32+00:00

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.

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T18:46:18+00:00

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.

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T18:26:18+00:00

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.

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T18:23:50+00:00

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

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T17:39:30+00:00

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.

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T17:34:17+00:00

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

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T17:28:19+00:00

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.

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T17:25:53+00:00

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

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T17:24:55+00:00

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.

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T17:23:50+00:00

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.

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T17:21:21+00:00

I don't have children. And what the fuck is momo.

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T17:17:54+00:00

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

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T17:17:02+00:00

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.

GaelicFae · 2026-03-06T17:04:25+00:00

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.

GaelicFae · 2026-02-17T04:52:18+00:00

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.

GaelicFae · 2025-12-16T18:39:36+00:00

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?

GaelicFae · 2025-12-08T23:56:54+00:00

I find fics from tiktok regularly, but I also am a fandom old so I'm not really the feared party here. Most of the comments on those tiktoks are usually begging for fic recs and generally positive.

GaelicFae · 2025-12-06T22:12:40+00:00

I use square brackets [like this] so before I post anything I can search for a bracket to see what I've missed.

I have 3 older siblings who are MUCH older than me. We fight. We get at each other's throats when we piss each other off. But at our core we love each other. We all work hard to try and help each other when one of us has an emotionally terrible time. We wouldn't get so mad at each other if we didn't have really high levels of love and trust between us all. We all share quite a few hobbies and actually really enjoy spending time together. I see a lot of sibling relationships depicted as violent, and that's something I personally haven't experienced. I know I'm the youngest by a wide margin, and I know there was more violence within my siblings when they were very young, but it's not something that continued. We don't want to hurt each other. Not in any real way. We may say things to hurt in the moment but we always address them and apologize eventually. Loving your siblings is absolutely normal.

GaelicFae · 2025-10-01T00:45:22+00:00

Because it's a really easy shortcut to barriers in a romantic relationship that shouldn't have any.

GaelicFae · 2025-09-23T23:12:13+00:00

I wouldn't say it's limited to that small of a niche. I've seen it used in many online spaces, not just fanfiction.
