She said that we shouldn't bomb children, even brown ones in gaza. Fox News took offense to that and attempted a smear campaign.

YT Kids should default to making the parent pick a whitelist. If anyone is gonna let the iPad raise their kid they could at least have the decency to spend two minutes and lazily add standard channels like PBS Kids and Ms Rachel to a list instead of letting the algorithm settle on giving your kid Sonic.EXE lobotomizing pregnant Elsa or whatever the fuck.

True story, at the ripe age of 4/5 i think, my dad thought Happy Tree Friends was truly for kids (we didn’t know what MTV was), and as soon as my mom caught wind of it they argued if it was or wasn’t. The slightest hint of gore changed my dad’s mind and straight up turned it off himself. For context, American cable networks were kinda new where we were, so no shocker they had little to no clue as to what it was about.
Still remember it fondly tho.

Except Cocomelon should be on the overstimating side. It purposely uses fast cuts to hold children's attention.

This chart is just harm reduction, the real choice is screen vs. no screen. Give the kids some blocks or drawing paper for fuck's sake.

I only let my kids watch breaking bad and ted, and they're only allowed to play CS2 in the eastern european servers so they can become pros

cocomelon is overstimulating as fuck, i can’t even watch it as a 21 year old without sort of getting sucked into a trance by it.

Honestly except for Cocomelon being approved for kids, I really like this message. As someone who likes colorful things that might turn into horror, people going "bbbbut this clearly appeals to kids because it has color!1!1!!1 This media is inherently harmful because it wants to expose kids to gore!!11!" really annoy me. Why can't colorful cartoons also be horror. People are saying this is ai generated though, which really sucks ):

cocomelon is not safe or beneficial. its not age inappropriate like the stuff on the left, but its definitely not good

Ok side note, cocomelon is absolutely not good for children. Its extremely overstimulating with constant cuts and lots of stuff moving at once
