More sick garbage by the Crap News Network. Why kids love 'fascist' cartoons like 'Paw Patrol' and 'Thomas' - CNN
That's a silly article But the Thomas the Train thing did strike a chord lol. I didnt take it as seriously as the writer of the article but I do recall thinking Sir Topham Hatt was a diiiick when I used to read those books to my son. What a fucking fascist. I always wanted to see revolution come to the Island of Sodor Viva la revolution!
Is 'It's a Wonderful Life' sexist? (Opinion) - CNN They need to change their name to National Enquirer.. Or just Fake New Network and get it over with.
This is what it all stems from: From the article: What is the use of a researcher that cant remember her thought processes as a child, children arent capable of abstract thought, what an idiotic thing for someone to say in her position. As if this researcher and the article writer dont have their own implicit prejudices. What they really mean to say is children have yet to go full bullshit denial mode about themselves
I'm pretty sure children are capable of abstract thought. I never got into mythology as a child because I didn't understand what I was reading. I got into it because it was wicked cool. I knew horses didn't come with 8 legs, but I understood Sleipnir did. Even down to the stories of the Minotaur and the labyrinth. These stories haunted me as a child and helped grow my character into what it is today.
My child's favorite show up until recently was Little Einstein's, about 4 kids with no visible parental guidance at all, who ride around the world on a sentient rocket and learned about all kinds of abstract concepts along the way I can literally think of dozens of shows and movies for kids that prove this article wrong. Most kids shows/books that I can think of dont feature an authority figure, actually . The writer of the article just cherry picked the two that do to make some completely pointless point
There was a book series I used to read when I was like 10, cant for the life of my remember the name, but it was about four friends pre teens, Jules was the main character, doing detective stuff, 3 guys one girl, they had a secret little cubbyhouse with secret tunnels in his backyard - anyhoo, one of the constant themes in everybook was basically all adults were idiots, which I found myself identifying with
Right..I remember reading the Boxcar Kids as a kid and yeah it was kind of sad they were orphans, but living on a train with no adults around sounded really awesome
My dad took me to see White Fang once at the movies. I remember for months that's all I really wanted. To live in the wood with a wolf friend. Well I guess I'm not too far off.
Once upon a time, I was young and Beatles ruled world of music. When offered some tickets to watch them, I threatened to take a tub of insecticide with me and no one understood my reasoning. Instead I buried all my days in the operas of Wagner and look where that has landed me today. YES.!!!!! young people are vulnerable.
Dude I used to pretend I was a boxcar kid in my grandpa's wood shop because their adventures sounded so awesome. I almost forgot about that series, I loved those books!
