Yet another thing I've seen in parenting groups that weirds me the fuck out

Liberal, sex positive parents who teach their kids the correct words for parts, don't shame them for curiousity, and respect their ability to understand things- BUT when it comes to weapons, killing, or any type of death, they're immediately helpless pearl clutchers talking about trauma and teaching aggression

AND THEN they also cry bc they don't know how to fear-monger to their young children about school shootings when they've carefully ensured the child has never been exposed to the concept of death and has no idea what a gun is

Either your kid can understand difficult topics or they can't. And either your kid needs to know what violence and death are or they don't.

Make it make sense

Ngl the entire concept of purposely making sure your kid doesn't know what death is creeps me out. What the hell kind of sanitized life do you lead where your 5yo has never encountered a dead thing, they don't understand they're eating animals, and they think their cat/fish/grandma just up and left their life. And what is this accomplishing

Honestly grow a fucking pair and explain shit to your kids you shitty little cowards

I'm reminded of that post that popped up around the time dracula got big on here (I think it was spurred by a little girl being part of her friend's funeral procession in the book or something, and readers getting weirded out by it) that pointed out that for all modern society makes fun of the victorians for sexual prudishness, we've essentially just flipped it around and developed the same thing with a "mortality prudishness."

the fact that there are parents who hide the existence of death from their kids and then have to have The Talk (Death Edition) with them is sooooo weird to me. how does that happen?? i dont remember ever not knowing what death is

Last show I watched: the simpsons

Currently reading: I recently started 30-Second Physics bc I never took a physics class before (I took entomology as my science class in my senior year of high school and didn’t need physics in college). Hopefully I finish reading it.

Current obsession: south park. has been south park for the past 2.5 years and will hopefully continue to be south park for many more.
