I just can't believe that despite everything we already know about the way so much kids media operates and what it does to their brains, parents still let their toddlers watch this crap. At this point it can't be attributed just to "they're busy" or "they don't know better" there has to be some kinda deliberate incentive to ignore all the faults. Are they being strong armed into not seeing or talking about it somehow?Also post more terrible kiddie slop
>>146451279>there has to be some kinda deliberate incentive to ignore all the faultsyeslet me take you into the mind of a normalfag parent for a momentyou're a first time mother at the age of 25, that means that for the majority of your adult life you had constant media entertainment on demand, ever since the first iphone came out you have forgotten how to exist without it for even a moment, you look around you and see kids consuming entertainment at all hours of the day on their parents smartphones and tablets and you think it's as normal as wearing socks or eating, you can't visualize a life without it, the smartphone is as integral to your daily existence as the clouds in the sky, you might even emotionally feel (even though you rationally know better) that the world didn't truly exist before it, how could it have? netflix and tiktok make up so much of your day that visualizing a world without it feels like trying to imagine a new color that humans can't perceive. so that's step one- why give little timmy an ipad? because it's non-optional not to, he can't exist without itnow little timmy is crying, maybe he's bored or lonely or wants attention, in the long run if you just teach him to play and handle his own boredom he will develop emotional maturity, but you don't have the long run, you're not used to thinking of life in concepts like long term accomplishments, you view your days through instances of 10 second tiktok dances and youtube short clips, you consume instant shake meals that take a few seconds to gulp down and whip out the vibrator when sex with your husband takes longer than a minute because you don't truly appreciate the experience, you wanna get everything in life done with as quickly as possible. so you look at what all the other adults are doing, you see that they all let their kid watch cocomelon, their kids don't cry while watching cocomelon. nobody tells you that they start crying even harder when you take the ipad away.
>>146451349now, y'see, cocomelon is part of the child's cultural environment, if you don't let them watch cocomelon, they'll be different, they'll be outcasts, and you don't want that. someone might even ask you *why* you're not letting him watch it, and then what will you say? will you suggest that maybe being glued to a screen watching repetitive crap that's been specially engineered to keep their attention and melt their brains isn't good for them? *gasp* no no no, you will think no such thing! for the majority of your life you have been very well trained to consider any kind of thinking out of the norm as being troublesome, problematic, maybe even dangerous. if you bring up any socially disapproved ideas about how to raise your kids, you will be labeled some kinda spooky conspiracy theorist. you might be called a- a- a "kaaaaaaaaaaaren". you might be compared to some no-fun fuddy duddy who isn't letting her kids watch all the fun trendy things, and you can't be seen that way, you're not old and washed out! you still have your bellybutton pierced! you carry a pastel pink collectible stanley mug and put up your halloween decorations a month early! you're a cool mom, a hip mom! and besides, if you say that cocomelon is bad for your little timmy, what will your friends at the book club think of themselves? you'll be judging them too, because they all let their kid watch it. you'll be stirring the pot, causing trouble, making them insecure and forcing themselves to think of the consequences of their own actions as well...so altogether you have many good reasons to be shamed into never questioning if cocomelon is good for your kid, and in lieu of being permitted to think of reasons why it's bad, you cope with the dissonance by convincing yourself it's harmless. now you have another problem, you already let him watch the stuff, now he can't stop. "but he keeps asking for it!" you say, and yet a kid isn't born knowing of cocomelon, you introduced him to it.

>>146451279>there has to be some kinda deliberate incentive to ignore all the faultsIt's Lord Moloch's will. Humanity's potential needs to be permanently extinguished so that all humans will be reduced to mindless cattle that exist only to eat slop and be eaten by Lord Moloch. That is our destiny, to be devoured by the One True God. You cannot stop it from happening. Your children WILL be fed to Lord Moloch.
>>146451362t. A kid raised on Cocomelon
>>146451362>>146451365
I predict that in a few years the official metrics of what's considered normative childhood development and healthy cognitive abilities will be lowered so that kids who were raised on this trash will be seen as normal."A kid is supposed to start talking at 8 years old now, actually, so I think you'll find my child who started at 7 is ahead of the curve even! So there!".They might even invent some mental illness to pathologize and medicate kids who didn't get their braincells beaten out of them by 8 hours of BABY SHARK DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO BABY SHARK DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO BABY SHARK DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO BABY SHARK DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO a day.
>>146451279>At this point it can't be attributed just to "they're busy" or "they don't know better" No for the most part this is still it. The average person doesn’t know where email goes when you send it. >there has to be some kinda deliberate incentive to ignore all the faults. No most parents make stupid decisions because they are busy and ignorant
>>146451394anonit's already being donethe CDC just recently updated their list of childhood development milestonespeep this change on the list of milestones typically seen at 6 months, left is the current list, right is the old version from 2020
>>146451394>"A kid is supposed to start talking at 8 years old now, actually, so I think you'll find my child who started at 7 is ahead of the curve even! So there!".What's more likely is that kids who are already talking by 4 will be shunned and ostracized, their parents even more so.
2020s, the decade countless scifi novels came true...
>>146451678>a handmaid's tale>lord of the fliesidk what's dumber, your idea that these 'came true'... or you referring to them as 'sci-fi novels'
>>146451279An insidious plot from the adults to keep the little shits brainrotted? Better foward it to numbah one den
>>146451678In what fucking way is our society anything like A Handmaid's Tale?
>>146451728This made me think... Are kids nowadays more rebellious than kids their age were in any previous generation? Everyone claims kids now are more "activist", but that's not actual proof of rebellion, just an occasional symptom of it in an environment wherein activism isn't incentivised, which means kids who partake in it in an environment where it IS incentivised would actually be doing what they're expected to do and not rebellingIs there an actual way of telling if kids now are more or less susceptible to abiding by social normas and authority demands? One common trait of developmental retardation is a lowered ability or desire to rebel, especially during childhood and one's teenage years
>>146451747look at the fucking crust on that imageanon probably got it off of instagram or something
>>146451349The average normalfag man and woman literally completely deserves to be a slave. A serf. These people are filth, and they don't deserve freedom and liberty. Let them work the mines and the fields, it's all they're intellectually good for.
>>146451805this was fine as long as they understood their place isn't in making art, only consuming itunusual, weird and autistic people have always created the best media out there and normalfags only got to pick n choose from the lot, the reason why media sucks now more than ever is because normies suddenly realized what kinda "icky" people make the good shit, said "we don't need those guys, we can make out own!" and took overnormalfags are spiritually childreny'know how you'd give a child the illusion of responsibility by letting them pick out their own tshirt in the morning, but only from a selection of 3-4 shirts you laid out on the bed? because otherwise they'll try and wear a bucket or somethingthat's why normalfags need in terms of art, they can choose but only from a selection curated by those who are capable of properly perceiving art
>>146451279The opposite of this is making a cartoon entirely out of nostalgia
Are channels like TroomTroom and all those surprise egg toy opening ones still around?
>>146452388yeah but these cartoons aren't made for kids as their primary target audiencealso idk if that applies to your pic rel i never watched it im just speaking generally
>>146451349>>146451357>>146451394>>146451465>>146451600Saying this from a misanthropic pov, you’ve really let things get out of control from the point we can’t even go back for this next generation of children. You’ve all fucked up to the point no one really has free will or even freedom anymore and damned yourselves to a idiocoracy society of Commericalism, Corporation Capitalistic reigning supreme, and just damn idiotic jokes.And now children atp are turning into big rotten idiots, I’m not surprised if at some point I’m dying to a dumbass assigned to the Big Red Button…it’s at least a interesting way to go out.
>>146452722>YouNo no no buddy, you don't make this a "you all, not me tho" issueIt's either none of us since no one here has the power to do thisOr all of us, if you're referring to "us" as society and the world at large, and that includes (You)r dumb ass
