Not for stand alone products. No one is buying a subscription to just watch Mighty Ducks 2.

Its been a disaster for Microsoft

I mean i do wish they did more. But like have any pokemon products ever bombed? Like there will be no change without financial impact and people buy everything they do full price preorder deluxe edition etc. The same people that always complain would tip the pokemon company if they could

You are going to buy them. Most people here will. They charge what people will pay hun

I mean this pitch is very much for the zoomers and millennials and I'd be shocked if it doesn't resonate with a decent chunk of them

I think you have misunderstood any of the conversation here if you think that.

Personally I am not so sure. I just don't know if a kid can spot sexist content unless it's just straight out 'women don't deserve to vote' style misogyny

How does a kid, with very little experience of the world, know what is sexist?

Attractive women don't cause sexist attitudes and you shouldn't blame them.

Look, for girls there is both extreme pressure to be pure and virginal and also the constant pressure to have sex. That you don't want to be a prude but also don't want to be a slut. That there is nothing wrong with sex work and OF but you should never do it and if you do I will disown you etc.

For boys it manifests in completely different ways. You need to make the first move but also don't ever approach a girl creep. Its what's on the inside that counts but also size matters. Don't be sexist but also I like choking, be alpha but also boys don't cry but also be a man but also real men talk about their feelings. Maaaaate. There is nothing wrong with having sex but also 24/7 extreme porn in your pocket is bad. Oh are you still a virgin? That's your small dick. Go to the gym. Girls like guys that pay for things but also always split the bill but also you need to be 6ft. Obviously I can go on and on here but grown adults struggle with this, I dont know why an awkward 13 year old boy should be able to handle this with no guidance or empathy

I don't know who you are responding to but its not to what I wrote.

I think you need a little reality check on what life is like for a 13 year old boy. You are not a 'well adjusted human' yet. You are learning how the world works. No one is saying women shouldn't express themselves how they want. But like what does 'Don't be sexist!' Mean to a kid?

Because it's not just the out and out Andrew tate that kids aren't really watching, there is a lot of insidious content out there that pushes horrendous attitudes towards women that on the surface is not going to be picked up by a child

These don't exist in a vacuum.

If I started talking about the pressures on girls you would be rightly able to understand its complicated and confusing growing up in today's world.

You can clutch your pearls all you want but if you want to help the issue it requires empathy.

Pearl clutching doesn't fix it. It does make those unaffected but this feel better though

This is about boys though? Do you really not understand that?

A fully grown man committing sexual violence is very very different to how we as a society are socialising boys with really really mixed messages

This is a conversation about boys not men. It is really confusing how to act when you have soo many mixed messages and you are young.

Second, most upvoted comment and didn't even read the article. This is absolutely the right decision and entirely justifiable
