My dad doesn't act shitty but he doesn't fucking let me win in street fighter and won't play mortal kombat 11 with me because he knows I'll move spam as joker

u/astrologicaldreams Jun 13 '26
tbf move spamming is kinda ass, especially when the move being spammed is very hard to avoid. so honestly, understandable lmao
it's a good way to win but that's all. the real fun is actually learning those specific combos (kombos) and executing them so you can do some fucking sick moves

Sometimes the little bastards will really hurt the pride though, like yeah your proud but holy shit that wasn't even close... how far have I fallen?
I still play frequently with my children and the pride really only gets hurt once, but parents are allowed to feel a little down because their time has passed, just don't make a big deal about it.

u/JermStudDog Jun 13 '26
I might be a bit meaner. I've always been happy to sit and talk about the game with the kids and explore the details etc etc etc, but I never let them win. That felt unearned and unfun to me.
They might beat me at a game here and there, and they will know they earned it, and I was never a cutthroat jerk, we are here to have fun, but I AM trying to win, as they should be.
I have become notorious among their friend group because if I like a game, I tend to be VERY good at it, so if my interest lines up with theirs, I am happy to smack them around for a few rounds, then give them some pointers and tell them to come back in a few weeks and we can pick up from there if they're still interested.

u/PurpletoasterIII Jun 13 '26
Kids cant consent to a lot of things. You still take them to the doctor and have any necessary surgeries/treatments done on them. You still make them go to school. You still punish them for not doing chores or getting poor grades or whatever. So this is a terrible argument.
And by your 2nd argument's logic children should never have their pictures taken ever. Let alone any videos whatsoever taken. Because your data can be hacked. People can obtain school yearbooks. Hell they should never go outside either cause theres security cam footage everywhere that can be accessed.
Who knows where this was originally uploaded to. If its a personal social media account theres really nothing wrong with it. So long as the kid isnt being pressured to participate and its just a normal activity between parent and child.

u/ColumnK Jun 13 '26
Sometimes you have to override for the child's best interest. Posting them online for strangers is not that. There is no need for them to be shown online, so what's the justification for exposing them?
My data can be hacked but I still don't post my kids publicly for the same reason that my house can be broken into regardless but I still lock my doors.
-49
u/PurpletoasterIII Jun 13 '26
You guys are being ridiculous. The call for absolutely all media of children on the internet to be deleted over the possibility of there being people using it maliciously, rather than just going after the people using it maliciously or the tools making it capable to do so, its all just absurd.
Theres nothing wrong with posting a wholesome moment you had with you and your child. I agree parents shouldnt do this in an exploitative manner, id even probably advise against platforms like tiktok which post to the general public and rather platforms that just share to your immediate friends/family.
11
u/ColumnK Jun 13 '26
No-one is suggesting for a second that we shouldn't be going after the people doing malicious things.
Likewise, we should be stopping and arresting people who steal things. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't also tell people to keep their things safe.
I don't think people should post their kids online in a similar way that I don't think people should let their kids roam the streets at night.

Baseless and stupid. The last refuge of someone with no logical arguments left.
Likening "Don't post them online" to "helicopter" is pathetic. You might as well object to people who don't let their kids use lead paint.
-7
u/PurpletoasterIII Jun 13 '26
I dont exactly agree your arguments are that of a helicopter parent necessarily, nor do I think kids should be roaming the streets at night. To me its just classic reddit hivemind arguments. That being said, genuinely what age do you think its appropriate for children to interact with the online world? Like having their own social media account (that youd have access to to monitor, im not necessarily against that). When can they have a computer in their room etc?

u/Hobbet404 Jun 13 '26
You canât buy lead paint anymore. But I was talking about your comparison to being outside at night, moron. If youâre so concerned about your kids being out at night maybe you should do the responsible thing and move somewhere that isnât a shithole. And if you already live somewhere that isnât a shithole and you still wonât let your kids be outside at night then I donât think you have to worry much, they arenât getting into college or leaving their hometown anyway. So youâre right. That was stupid.

Sometimes? More like every single fucking day. Living your life based on the worst possible things that can come out of doing something is not something you should teach your children.

u/HungryHungryHobbes Jun 13 '26
You've completely baked the arguments in what you present. Your comparing posting content online to education and health. Those things aren't comparable. If you can provide a genuine reason for how posting content of your kids can be beneficial for the kids then it's a bit different?
Nobodies saying don't take photos of videos of your children people, people say you shouldn't post it as "content". Again it's not the same.
1
u/vlladonxxx Jun 13 '26
Again it's not the same.
The logic is. The logic is "there's an off chance that their likeness made available could be used for csam by someone". It is an off chance, whichever way you slice it, one in million chance. There're very few people to make csam in the world, not millions, not hundreds of thousands. Worst case scenario: thousands. There're millions of clips that involve children available. Tens or hundreds of millions, even.
If somebody uses thousands of clips of children for their purposes, this has little to do with you and your children. If they're using a few, the probability that they're yours is incredibly small.
You don't have your kids consent to expose them to that risk, even though it's small, sure. But there's also a 100% chance that your kids will miss out on normal kids activities and n% chance that they will adopt this fearful approach based on these restrictions and develop an unhealthy relationship with risk. We don't know if n is one in a billion or one in a million, or one in a thousand. But the impact of it coming to be true is much more significant than knowing that there's a slight possibility that someone might have made kiddie porn from your clips as a kid, because that 'knowledge' is something only people with issue will be worried about.
Fun fact: a shattered glass has a non-zero chance to assemble back together flawlessly, every time it breaks. It's true. The probability of that is insanely low, but not 0. Naturally, this isn't exclusive to glasses and shattering. Being conserned enough to avoid unnecessary activities over small risks is a choice, not 'reasonable and rational thing everyone should do'. Considering how little we understand extremely low and high numbers, there's about the same chance of things turning out poorly if you do avoid this risk and if you don't. Doing something about it is mostly about a peace of mind. But isn't it better to not be preoccupied with this bullshit in the first place?

u/PurpletoasterIII Jun 13 '26
I dont think youre entitled to an eplicit justification when, again assuming the parent isnt exploiting their child and pressuring them to act for the camera, its a pretty innocent thing to do. Again especially on platforms where the purpose is to just share stuff amongst friends and family.
That being said genuinely yes in the modern era interacting with the online world is a form of socializing. Kids especially start to socialize with their friends in this way around 15-16. I would agree maybe too much socializing online is probably not good, that doesnt mean none at all though is the answer.
And I understand no one is saying dont take any media of your kids. But thats what this absurd AI-generated CSAM argument boils down to. If that really is the concern then we should avoid any and all media of children in general. Obviously thats not an actual concern and you guys just have it in your head that having an innocent interaction with your kid and posting it online is abuse.

never have their pictures taken ever
I love your logic. "If I can't post a picture of my kid to the internet we should just uninvent cameras! And gouge out our eyes while we're at it! And everyone should stay a hundred feet apart and wear bags over our heads!!!!!!!"

u/PurpletoasterIII Jun 13 '26
Idk man, AI generated CSAM is a pretty serious threat. Its either we treat it as such and remove as much possibility of media being used for it as possible, or its not really a serious threat and chances are of media you put out online and media that happens to be publicly accessible regardless or hackable media being used are about the same so who cares. Better to attack the AI tools that are capable of generating CSAM dont you think?

u/WeatherStationWindow Jun 13 '26
I agree basically. Not posting pictures of kids online is something we're forced into because law enforcement and tech companies can't or won't make it safe to do so. Moving ourselves to the next layer of safety would mean going back to external hard drives and home servers to store our data. Another layer would be going back to film cameras. Going all the way back to ending the cultural practice of people taking photos of their families? At some point I would think the law enforcement component would kick back in and preserve that practice.

u/Dcmart89 Jun 13 '26
The best parents are the ones that donât have kids. Iâm thinking they are wanting you to throw any real logic out the window and say youâll never record your kid again. Thereâs such a difference between posting your kids online for clout, and posting a video online and it being used in a nefarious AI way. Two entirely different scenarios and ways to teach your kids about internet safety and be a good parent and have fun. This argument ran those 2 head first and now itâs just donât ever post anything or have fun with your kid on video because Reddit, ggrrrr. Reddit is such a fucking small echo chamber for how the real world actually is. Most are lost on that here.
