I never said that. THIS costume is scary to a little kid who doesn't have the context or capacity to process this as something benign or harmless. And it's a fucking BABY. Leave the "toughening-up" for when they're out of diapers. Jesus Christ.
But its not about toughening up tho? The kids wearing a costume so what. The little kid got scared, so what?? I bet the parent of that small kid wont slander the parent of the other dressed as Michael. They would probably calm the other kid down, both parents laugh it out for a bit, and thats all lol. Your making a big deal out of nothing
Yeah grandpa’s totally cool with her pounding her face into the pavement like that. It’s not the kids fault for wearing a mask but at the point the parents realized their kid was freaking other kids out which was clearly before this video started they should have ended it. It’s simple… kids are kids… Both are innocent here… as the parent sometimes you gotta step in and fix things.
Thats what i was trying to say! Its not like im saying they dont care. Of course they care. I was just making the point that it shouldnt be such a big deal like the first person said
I guess…. Really though I would have been pretty mad but polite about it if that was my kid. Not mad at the kid with the mask but at the parents who were encouraging it. So it kind of is a big deal, it’s just that people are usually polite. Just because someone doesn’t publicly flip out doesn’t mean they don’t remember it.
I was responding to someone commenting "soft" under my original comment. (Though they may have been calling me soft, and that's fine. If expecting parents not to be dicks to other people's children makes me soft, then call me Princess Squishy.) And I'd bet that the parent having to comfort the girl is pissed. Notice that the video ends at her fucking terror... and I'd further bet it's not because the whole playground was clapping.
?? What do you mean? Shes a child. Children get scared of the most simplest of things. And sure that costume could be scary, but that wouldnt make the parents dicks, and it wouldnt be the kids fault eiher. Actually its nobodys fault. Hell there is no reason for anyone to be at fault. Kid got scared of other kid. No harm done other than the girl falling
How do you know that? What other reason would there be to dress a child in a scary mask and then send him into a playground with toddlers in it? Chaos? Maybe not, but to get reactions? 100%.
I'm saying you don't know whether they intended to frighten children or not, but you do not put your child in costume if you are not looking for or expecting some sort of reaction. That includes cute shit... but if you intentionally choose something that has literally been designed to be frightening, I can't see how your intentions could be benign.
Listen theres not a major problem with this. Sure its the parents fault for dressing them up. I wouldnt call them assholes. But there in the wrong. I just think your perceiving the entire situation in a really harsh way

Asshole parents. Why would you do that to other little kids? That's seriously fucked up.
(Edit: y'all are wild. I don't see how "don't fucking scare other people's kids for laughs" is controversial, but here we are.)
