Have you seen the content that inevitably ends up in kids autoplay video feeds? Weird doesn't even begin to describe it. Some of it would give HBO pause.

- tomjen3 6y agoAlmost every Disney movie have the childrens parents being killed, the Swedish childrens author Astrid Lindgren (very popular in Europe, I don’t know about the US) wrote a story called The Brothers Lionheart where the young brother is dying from an incurable respiratory disease and (spoilers) his brother dies saving him from a house fire. The he dies from the respiratory disease. My point is that children are being told stories that we wouldn’t consider for children all the time. And that isn’t even considering fairytales.
- anticristi 6y agoI recently got a book with the full collection of the Grimm brothers' fairytales. I don't get how those authors got marketed as kids story writers. Some of the stories make it feel like reading Terminator for bedtime is harmless.
- tomc1985 6y agoYou're missing my point. There are people sneaking downright weird shit into kids' feeds on Youtube. https://www.theverge.com/culture/2017/11/21/16685874/kids-youtube-video-elsagate-creepiness-psychology https://www.theverge.com/culture/2017/11/21/16685874/kids-yo... The difference between brothers Grimm or old Disney films and this is coherence, and possibly motive. At the very least they are trying to tell a story of some kind. But this stuff is closer to porn (except its surreal? instead of titillating), and the motive is unknown. It's totally different and a new thing compared to the 60s/70s/80s kids argument.
