No.
No this is not funny.
Whether or not it is a joke, I’ve gone onto the channel and there are multiple videos similar to this, which makes me think they’re fake.
Doesn’t matter.
These videos enforce the idea to parents that yes, the answer to stop your child becoming obsessed with games is to DESTROY them.
No. This is not funny. It is things like this that cause events such as the father who SHOT his daughter’s laptop to bits to occur. These jokes enforce the attitude that people are ‘wrong’ for loving games.
For wanting to play games.
For some people (including myself), games are a serious escape from horrid realities. The only escape some people can get. The idea that this man (boy?) is wrong for being so upset is disgusting to me?
This is horrific. This is abuse. This is wrong.
This is a sure fire way to get your kids to hate you.
do people not understand how much video games cost?
Video games are a multi-billion dollar business. Some people are good at it. Very good. Do not squander your child’s talents, help them realize them and strengthen them. There are other ways to get your child outside without destroying their games and everything they work for. This won’t solve anything; this will only set them back further.
do this to your childs anything and they will automatically hate you/not trust you
It doesn’t matter what it is
It doesn’t matter if its their video games or if its their smoking pipe
If you just destroy it/throw it away, you are giving no explanation as to why it’s bad/you don’t want them to have it
This can actually psychologically mess a kid up because you teach them that if someone doesn’t like something, they should destroy it
That can lead to some serious problems with socializing with others and other things
dont do that to people
dont
I had a notebook I used to write in all the time. I did that thing that Margo did in Paper Towns where she criss crossed her writing, but I did it so I’d have enough room to write everything. I took it everywhere wtih me and wouldn’t let my parents even start the car unless I had in in my lap. My dad got really annoyed by this and said I needed to throw the notebook away, what was written in it wasn’t important anyway (it was to me, very much so). So one day he took and ran it through the paper shredder.
Ever since I’ve had an intense fear of losing my notebooks and currently have a colletion of 53 blank notebooks and 16 that have been written in because I’ve started hoarding them.
Long story short, don’t fucking do this to your kids. You think it’s harmless and some people even think it’s clever, but you’re really just an asshole and are causing actual psychological problems for your children.I have a plush rabbit that I’ve had since Easter of the year I was born (I was about 2 months old when I got it). It quickly became a comfort thing for me and I used to go everywhere with it as a child. When my mum and dad split up was when I became kind of dependent on having it around.
If ever I did anything wrong mum always threatened to take it away from me, which obviously caused my 6-year-old self to kick and scream and cry because I needed it.
One day I lost it for 6 or 7 months (turns out it was in my room the whole time but shh it was very well hidden & neither myself or my mum know how it got there)
That was the point that my mum realised she couldn’t threaten to take it away because holy shit I changed so much in those months.Seriously, if your child is dependent on something, or takes great comfort in having it around
DO NOT TAKE IT FROM THEM.
It does not matter how old your child is, what their comfort item is, if it’s a video games console – don’t take it from them. If it’s their phone – don’t take it from them. If they’re 18 and still sleep with a teddybear – don’t take it from them.This also goes for if your child is self-harming. If they have a blade in their bedroom and you find it DO NOT THROW IT OUT. Talk to them about it, be as supportive as you can, but do not think “oh well if I get rid of it they’ll be fine”. It can be seriously distressing and also lead to them becoming creative with what they use.
I was given my very first computer when I was about 13 on Christmas. I was so excited, because I’d always wanted to have a computer to myself to play PC games and write and use the internet. Eventually, however, after a year of having the computer, my dad started threatening to take it away/smash it/cut off my internet access because according to him, I was “addicted”. To this day, he STILL DOES THIS. I no longer have that desktop computer anymore, as I invested in a laptop with my own money. Does that stop him from basically claiming the laptop as his property to do what he wants with and threatening to smash it on me so that I would “socialize” more? Nope.
No wonder I have a lot of anxiety problems, folks.
Please do not do this to your children. You can and will create serious problems.
About a year ago my mother did something similar to this. She had found a journal in which I’d written about all the horrible shit she made me feel, and I’d dedicated some time to it, basically saying I hated her. (Which I do, because she’s a manipulative, abuse ass). But when she found it, she went absolutely ballistic. On top of other things I’d done—a party at a friends I didn’t tell her about that I’d written of, and a few other little things that are childish in comparison to what she did—I’d made mention of violence in this journal, different things you, you know put in a damn journal. So my mother decided I needed to start fresh.
I am a writer. I adore writing. …I did not write for months after what she did. Because she deleted every piece of poetry, every story, every thing I’d ever written off of my computer. She took my notebooks, my sketch pads, my books, and letters from friends, family, anything of any sentiment to me…and she set it on fire. she fucking burned it. She brought me outside and made me watch. When I scrolled down and saw this I almost felt sick, because I know that horrible, horrible feeling. It’s like something you love dies.
She did this because she was mad, and then she proceeded to blame me. I needed a fresh start. I needed to lighten my load. She switched my schools, too, took away my supports, and left me flat out and suicidal, all because I said I hated her.
I still hate her. But now I just have a little more passion behind it.
Never laugh at this. Never joke about this. I have panic attacks when she comes into my room. I shake at the smell of fire near my house. I get shaky just coming home some days wondering if I might have done something to warrant my entire life to be burned away again.
I still get upset about it, because all that writing, all those months and years of work? Will forever be lost. I’ll never have that back.
Fuck parents who do this. Fuck anyone who thinks this shit is funny. You cry and you cry, but it never comes back. And it fucking hurts.
But to be honest, the guy who filmed this needs to get even more lives than the dad does,
WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T THE CAMERAMAN HELP?
