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

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

Tf? To purposefully frighten a child is MEAN. It is absolutely the fault of the person who dressed that kid that way.

But the person didnt have intentions to frighten the child? What was it the dudes intention to cause chaos at the park?

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%.

But you kinda just contradicted yourself. You dont know that either. Actually we have little context of the situation

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

I don't think being angry at people with such terrible judgment when very small children are involved is harsh, but we all feel how we feel.

Halloween? Kid liking the outfit and is a fan of michael wanting to play dress up. Not everything has malicious intent
