- aeturnum 5y agoLet's zoom out a bit: in general, do you think companies should be encouraged to promote using their products in a way that's more dangerous that necessary if it looks cooler? I wouldn't support a law requiring skateboard companies to use gear in their ads, but I do think that applying pressure to get them to show gear makes sense.
- TOSSAWAY_1 5y agoEh i wouldnt support a hard rule. Likely I'd appeal to moms after I got the cool kids though, social media style.
- honkycat 5y agoSo encouraging playing a sport in a safe way === school marm nannying? People get CTE from extreme sports, Dave Mirra being a famous example. I think playing the sport safely is something that should be encouraged.

(by extension) A person, of any gender, who exhibits characteristics attributed to schoolteachers of the old times, such as strict enforcement of arbitrary rules. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/schoolmarm#English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/schoolmarm#English ('marm' being apparently a (US only?) variant of 'ma'am') [NB, delightfully, and presumably unrelatedly (though not listed as a separate etymology): > 3.
