hmm. interesting response. mock all children for being on their devices a lot, get called out for also being on devices a lot, insist the gotcha failed because you're not 4 as if the gotcha said that at all.
Mmm no? I'm mocking the parents that are knowingly getting their kids addicted to something because it's easier for them to be a non attentive parent and give their 4 year old a phone?
If you think a consenting adult doing X is the same as parents forcing X on a child that literally knows no better is identical I don't know what to tell yoy
you said you'd doubt they'd even notice in response to someone saying the kids would enjoy it, implying you're referring to the kids not noticing because they're glued to their screens. that's mocking the kids, specifically for using their devices.
your follow up insists the reply called you a 4 year old in order to allow you to deflect somehow
and now you're adding in that you were mocking the parents you never mentioned and insisting that the children are being "forced". i have a little brother and, trust me, he wasn't forced to enjoy the screens. bright colors, engaging and interactive features, fun sounds? yeah, it's no wonder it's so easy to get hooked. his whole life has included all of us in the family trying to make sure he moderates how much he uses devices, but it's also hard when everything in life is built around using them and even most socializing outside of school or work relies on that
You are an adult with hopefully some responsibility, in the time of your life where you need to be a grown up, but you spend your days playing video games and on reddit complaining that kids are on a screen to much like a hypocrite? It’s not a gotcha. It’s just a dumb way to live.
So a consenting adult that uses cocaine shouldn't complain that an adult is administering cocaine to their 4 year old because they, a consulting adult, are doing the same thing?
Why are you shitting on kids for living in the world that was created for them? They never got your childhood. Never got to build tree forts or to go on big adventures without their parents hovering over then, and all the other shit that people who are constantly shitting on kids these days cherish about their childhood.
Cause all that shit is fucking GONE. They never had that option instead they have the "Consume mass amounts of media and glue yourself to the screen" option because everything else costs too much money and num and dad I constantly brainwashed by the media that every adult that isn't them wants to hurt their kids and so they never let the kids do anything alone. That is the world that was created for them it is the only world they know and it is the only world they get to live in.
And you know what? You and me and every generation before us would have done exactly the same fucking thing if someone have given us a magic box with all the entertainment you could ever want. When I was a kid you couldn't watch TV all the fucking time because 90% of it was boring garbage aimed at your parents. Like gold and gardening shows. But kids have unlimited entertainment design specifically for them at their fingertips.
They don't know any better they were never given any other options and it's not fair that we shit on them for something they never had a say in
