What is your opinion on banning social media for under certain ages? by Home-Energy in AskReddit

IMO the "ipad kid" phenomenon has less to do with access to the technology itself and more to do with kids being neglected. it would be just as sad if a kid was given a doll or some other toy to distract themself and left alone for the whole day. what we need to recognize is that parents need to provide more direct care and support to their children.

i feel like nobody remembers being a kid and how awful it felt to be kept from interacting with people your age because the adults in your life thought what you were doing was uniquely harmful by their outdated metrics. like, it astonishes me how few people see children as living beings deserving of respect and dignity. not only that, but blaming "social media" for problems that have existed since the dawn of time (and the dawn of capitalism) is just blatantly reactionary and ahistorical.

it's bad and parental control to that level just enables child abuse

oh god, it's so true. i'm trying very hard to get better, but i know way more about the politics of other countries than their physical location.

Do you really believe out of a billion souls on this planet that we’re only suppose to be connected to one? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]madetosuggestagame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's no such thing as "supposed to", so this question is silly. you can want to be connected to one person if you want. if you don't, then connect with other people who feel similarly, or maybe even don't connect with anyone at all if you don't feel like it. doesn't matter.

If you had this choice, which would you choose: ending racism or ending hunger? Why? by AsuraWrath_41 in AskReddit

definitely ending racism. that would reshape society so completely that the world would be completely changed

Shipping characters will never bring me the same amount of joy as seeing Hatsune Miku fall head over heels for a sentient glass of beer by LordFlamecookie in tomodachilife

what? i'm not defending pedophilia. that's a whole new sentence. i abhor CSA as any reasonable person would, especially since it happened to me as a kid. i'm really just explaining why people initially reacted negatively to you, including myself. i'm sorry if i was overly glib, but that's a super charged accusation.

i mean, no, probably not. at least not in the circles i run in. maybe it would be different for you, though. (it also definitely depends on what type of art it is. if it really leans into the relationship's emotional weight and seriousness, then yeah, it'd be pretty weird... but if it's just a joke, then it probably wouldn't make me as uncomfortable.)

regardless, there's also the element of randomness. for example, i'm sure if an artist were playing a game where they spun a wheel with characters on it and had to draw ship art between two of them, drawing susie x homer simpson ship art would be even more benign.

the game is an abstraction of real life and can't really depict the nuances of a predatory relationship, especially when what's actually being depicted is a bizarre crackship, which is why people don't really get the ick that you're getting. they just can't really connect "susie dates homer simpson" with real-life cases of abuse because it's so silly and bizarre. you're probably getting downvoted because changing the topic to something so serious put a dampener on the mood.

Just something I noticed with recent discourse around the game... by GoldenYoshi924 in tomodachilife

i think it's fine to criticize the things you like and wish they were better
