She hated those, too. In her opinion, children should only be allowed to read classic books.

I didn't hate her until those last two words.

[identity profile] dorknessrising.livejournal.com 2012-04-28 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
No kidding. It's even funnier when you realize "classic books" are often chock full of violence.

Even simple classical fairytales are fucking horrifying.

I'm guessing a woman this uninformed probably doesn't know anything about fairy tales outside of Disney.

Why, why nobody thought to enlighten her? And maybe film her reaction? It would have been so epic!

Oh God. I would pay money straight up-front just to see the poor girl's reaction on video!

;_; Some of us can balance the classic books and the Mortal Kombat... you don't have to be hateful!

I think [livejournal.com profile] dethtoll is referring more to the idea of kids only reading "classic books" as opposed to any other kind of book. I find that idea disturbing and funny myself. Funny because many "classics" are filled to the brim with as much violence and carnage as Uncharted, and disturbing because many of them also bring in some horrible Old-Fashioned Values that we're better off not forcing into kids' heads without anything progressive to counteract them.

And a lot of them are big piles of unreadable shit on top of that.

[identity profile] joshua-glass.livejournal.com 2012-04-28 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
There are other kinds of books?! /kidding.

It's true though, I mean if you look at stuff like, Poe, and D.H. Lawrence, for example, some of that stuff is more likely to warp you than Assassin's Creed or Mortal Kombat.

This is why I like to round out my carnage with brainless fluff. I love you, Stephanie Plum~~. XD

Don't forget a lot of people consider Lovecraft classic!

I fucking love the mythology. But can you imagine trying to give kids that berift of context?

Hey kids, you know what's scary? Tentacles! But you know what's far, far more terrifying then that? BLACK PEOPLE AND OTHER FOREIGN DARKIES! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

That's funny. I was watching old 70s anime opening themes on youtube earlier tonight (Gatchaman, stuff like that), and I was thinking about how over-the-top VIOLENT a lot of these shows were, that were aimed at young children, and how Japan has very low rates of violent crime compared to other industrialized countries. They don't have school shootings every couple of years like we do here. The adults that watched those shows as kids aren't running around stabbing people or emulating the violence they saw in these programs. So obviously the problem is not the media children are consuming, but the culture and environment they are raised in.
