- crooked-v 6y agoThis may shock you, but kids do exactly the same kind of thing in regards to clothes, food, and even inanities like brands of pens and pencils.
- _carbyau_ 6y agoHell, when it comes to social signalling via "stuff" much of society does this. Doesn't make it right though.
- jackson1442 6y agoBut I'd say an instant canceling of your child's account for a frequent societal phenomenon is a bit overdramatic, even if it's not right.
- _carbyau_ 6y agoI'd even go so far as to say it is the incorrect response. Educate your kid as to what happened and what they can do about it then let your kid figure out how they want to respond. If they are going to come across it for the rest of their life they might as well know how to deal with it.

- mastazi 6y agoI'm over 40 and stigma for not spending money was also a thing when I was a kid. I still remember discussions about who had the trendiest school backpack. I'm not saying that it's a good thing, just noticing that it would still be there even if you took a "no videogames" stance.
