society's decline is directly correlated with the decline of high-T MS-DOS games and their replacement with the shitty excel spreadsheet mapgames made by the fattest, most homosexual Scandinavians the industry could find
rational levelheaded people when a male lists things he read when he was a male child be like. one google search will give you examples from that era w/ female and co-ed sets of protagonists. magic school bus, wordgirl, powerpuff girls. ppl just want their asses wiped for them
@tumblerina42 that’s fundamentally the most important part. then there’s other things that challenge kids, simple things like word choice (C&H is a great example) can help a kid get ahead and stay ahead of their peers early.
this is why you have to raise your kids on specific, pre-21st century media. Tintin, Calvin and Hobbes, Moomin, Asterix, Wishbone, etc. the people who made those things were operating on a completely different paradigm as to what children want and need.
there’s something psychologically terroristic about these kids books that are full of adult platitudes. “there’s nothing wrong with asking for help”. yeah. my 5 year old never would have thought there was. “you don’t have to be extraordinary to be loved”. do not tell my kid that
@ThornhillAFB I think that’s an excellent point; unsurprising to think of parents using the media their children consume as a means of signaling vs as a means towards raising their child
@natemcguire you can find a lot of lists on Wikipedia if you know what “genres” things are. e.g. wishbone was PBS kids programming, that wiki list has a lot of great stuff even well into the 2000s; Tintin and Asterix were bandes desinee, there’s a list of those; and so on

Personas cercanas aseguran que nunca mostró interés por esa religión antes de su captura.
it feels like after 2007 people entered the industry with a completely different set of priorities, almost as if there were a revolution that prescribed that Children Should Be Thus (thus meaning neurotic, overly self-deferential — emotionally un-potty trained, so-to-speak)
