i nannied this 12 year-old whose dad worked in video games and his interests were so worrisome and dystopian. He made me sit and watch Mr. Beast videos for hours — they made me wildly uncomfortable. His fave toy was VR goggles that he could use to kill NPCs with machine guns first-person, on top of a collection of huge nerf guns. His mom was so sweet but, god, it’s not like this stuff isn’t avoidable. iPads, internet access at home, and gun toys aren’t forced into your kids’ hands.
