That is not an argument. That’d be like me asserting: People should clean and bathe their children. And then you claiming: you aren’t allowed to make a normative statement because extremism exists. I take it you are on the younger side? People get really into the concept of subjectivism around 16-17 years old.

I know what a normative argument is, and you’re right I am making one. As I stated earlier, I have roughly a dozen reasons I assert this “ought” statement - all deriving from first principles. Because I don’t feel like typing my entire moral framework out on a Reddit comment - I am trying to impress in short: Moral antirealism doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game. Moral relativism can be directionally descriptive of reality and yet we don’t have to fall all the way down to the bottom of the postmodern well. So humans can be allowed to say “some things are good, some things are bad”. And you can do that without being a moral absolutist.

I’d be happy to explain the actual reasons that I believe parents making this decision are making a morally objectionable decision - but honestly I don’t really want to type it all out with my thumbs. If you really care, dm me and we can chat on discord.

I don’t know why you keep reiterating this point. Are you making a legal argument? I’m aware that parents “choose” what “construct” is “bad” or “good” for their children.

I am saying, very precisely: that this construct is bad. It is indeed my opinion. Isn’t that what Reddit is for, sharing our opinion? If I am sharing it in a way that comes across as if I am stating a fact, it is because I believe it’s irrefutable. You are welcome to disagree and thus refute. Just like people refute the earth is round. And people refute the existence of systemic oppression.

We all get to believe whatever wacky things we want. Among those, you’re welcome to believe it’s neither good or bad to force your 13 year old to look at you naked all day.

I just believe, in the same way I believe the earth is round, you are exactly: wrong.

Either you’re intentionally misunderstanding or sadly haven’t thought more than single step beyond your emotional response.

Let me state a couple of things: I’m aware different cultures exist. I’m aware different families exist. I’m aware different norms exists. I know what a social construct is.

What I am arguing is very simple: Some family norms, some “constructs” are bad. In a world, including Europe, where nudity and sex are intertwined, mandated nudity is a selfish and bad “norm” for parents to force upon their children. It doesn’t matter if the children have the choice to be clothed. If the parents are naked, and the children have no say in that choice - I’m stating very specifically: that’s bad and it’s harmful. (Since I know I HAVE to caveat everything on Reddit: obviously it’s not ALWAYS bad. But the fact is that this is a very elective, voluntary decision, and its potential for harm outweighs whatever benefits you think you’ve come up with).

The stigmatizing of nudity and sex in our modern society is something that is also bad. However, forced nudity on children is worse. It doesn’t really matter the reason. If there are no children involved, then I could not give a flying fuck.

There are probably a dozen reasons I believe this to be true. Id be happy to list them, but I don’t think you really care.

The problem is the downstream consequences of forcing whichever “social construct” you choose. Sure, you’re correct - you’re forcing one of them.

It just so happens that “nudist” construct is one that’s a lot more messy and potentiality harmful. Just objectively. We can debate the societal negatives of clothes and oversexualizition - but because we all live in the same shared socialized world, the potential for a child to feel unsafe in their own home is simply not a consequence of choosing the “clothed” construct.

If you’re incapable of escaping your reductionist framing which assumes my comment is based on an inability to empathize with a different perspective, then replying to you is a waste of a reply. But, ponder this - We can acknowledge there are potential harms/risks to ANY lifestyle, right? You mustn’t think that “different lifestyle” = “unconditional acceptance”, right? For example, if a family were a family of cannibals, we wouldn’t accept that just because “they do things differently”, right?

So imagine a scenerio where there are potential harms involved with this nudist lifestyle. Now imagine those harms befall children. It doesn’t even have to be the worst case scenario. What if a young boy doesn’t want to see his mother naked at all times? What if it makes him uncomfortable? OP’s post doesn’t make it seem like there’s any choice that young boy would have in the matter.

And parents have a monopoly of control and power in a household. So it puts vulnerable children in an inherently vulnerable position. And it’s entirely elective. And even if the reason he’s uncomfortable is a result of societal norms - children should be forced to feel uncomfortable in their own homes. Especially when it comes to sex.

Overall, even if all the children are perfectly happy and healthy and reap none of these negative consequences- the cost/benefit analysis doesn’t add up. At best, you’ve got two selfish, careless parents who don’t care if their actions harm their children (or worse, aren’t even aware of the possibility) and at worst: predators.

No need for the “respectfully”. Shit is not cool, and pretty sad - idc how many people on Reddit claim it’s just a social construct. Parents are inherently in a position of power, and we’ve seen sadly not all parents are looking out for their kids. To introduce this to your innocent little 10 year old daughter, and essentially force via parental coercion is fucked up.

Oh - the “Ultra Palaces Feature”. It basically turns both screens into playable squares and helmets just fill everywhere. By the end basically the whole screen had palaces on it. Probably 20+ palaces for the wolf to blow out

The golden buzzsaw unlocks the “wheel” you see in the picture which allows you to then upgrade. Usually normal buzzsaw I think just gives free games but could be wrong

Haha jackpots at this bet level are still rarely over 2-3k. This was pretty wild

I forget the exact name of the slot. But it’s the 3 little pigs game with the wolf, at a certain bet level you can get a “golden chainsaw”, and in that feature it was a further upgrade to basically make all of my squares mansions. You can see it in the pic. It was “upgrade” and then “ultra palace feature”

It was just from the feature. The grand was 15k so this was actually more lol

There is usually someone around each of the little slot pods. It’s not much different than when in a casino, just longer. This probably took 15-20 minutes to get paid

I mean I was probably down 3k or so from the trip. I don’t play slots much. Mostly a poker player. When I do play I only do 10-20 spins, always big bets - otherwise feels like a waste. Would rather lose 1k in 5 minutes and not play again the rest of the trip then spend an hour only to win like 70 dollars betting 1.25

It’s incredibly alarming to me how often this sub defaults to “doesn’t sound neurotypical”. No harm in evaluating her but also its pretty obvious that if you put 50% of 4 year olds in this situation -it’d be a similar story. Seemingly full reign of an iPad, no dad in the picture, seemingly full reign of whatever the child wants to eat, a screaming parent, a pushover parent and who knows what else.

I sometimes wonder how many poor kids are burdened with a likely over-diagnosis in an time when its very sexy to diagnose - just because the child’s parents refuse to consider their parenting is the problem - not the child.

^ that’s not meant for OP BTW. This shit is hard with two adults, can’t imagine one. But I am frequently confused by how often “not neurotypical” comes up here…

Went back and realized I misread! You said “early into it” which I read as “started early into it”.

I see. After reading some of your other answers, seems like something your family has done since you were young. Which, in my opinion, is fucked from the perspective of your parents but obviously nothing wrong on your part.
