As the Orthodox Jewish commenter, I know a lot of the very cloistered Jewish community frowns on TV and Movie watching and going online. There's a constant push and pull on that. When I was a kid you couldn't even mention there was a TV in your house without worrying about being shunned, and my sister and all the girls in her 6th-grade class were asked to sign a contract keeping them from seeing movies (which stopped absolutely none of them from seeing Titanic repeatedly). Then another side of the community pushed back and got into how there's nothing in the literature restricting these things and standards relaxed somewhat. It's like a pendulum, swinging from super strict and back.

How is it possible to be this bad at trolling

It's quickly approaching hilarity

I think you mean it's quickly approaching boredom

Hey, another one! I've had the same experiences, though I know that within my community, there's become enough of a strong presence in either direction that no one's being ostracized either way, thankfully.

The level of opinion of popular media tends to vary by religious/ethnic community. I know a family in which the mother doesn't just research books, shows, and movies before letting her daughter watch them - no, she has to read/watch them herself. Her daughter is like 12 and in the mother's opinion, this is the age she should have read and seen Harry Potter, instead of a few years earlier like it actually happened. She is rather convinced that by being this pervasive and controlling of what her daughter sees and reads, she'll spare the girl the influence of dark modern media, even though (she says) there is so little that is age appropriate anymore.

It's going to break her heart when she finds out the reason why the little girl seems to read/get through books so fast is that by the time the mom lets her read them, they're already a few years old to the girl. :P
