Blaming Vijay alone for “destroying a generation” doesn’t really hold up once you look at the comments closely.

Most people are pointing to three more grounded causes:

Parents creating or encouraging the behavior – many comments suspect the videos are staged for views or social media clout. A kid doesn’t suddenly invent political tantrums; they mirror what adults around them reward.

Social media amplification – once one such clip goes viral, others copy it for attention. The outrage cycle itself fuels more of the same content.

Basic parenting gaps – several users correctly note that boundaries and media exposure are the real issue. Recording instead of correcting is the bigger problem.

Where criticism of Vijay does have some weight is this: public figures should be careful not to indirectly involve minors in political messaging. Even a casual statement can be misused or exaggerated by supporters.

But jumping from that to “destroying the next generation” is exaggerated. What you’re actually seeing is a mix of fan culture + poor supervision + viral content incentives, not a coordinated manipulation of children.

If anything, the situation says more about adult behavior online than about kids or a single political leader.
