I don't think we can fully grasp the problems our young children are facing unless we're willing to look at ALL the material they're consuming, including the stuff that doesn't appear to have anything to do with politics.
Let's take a quick, tip-of-the-iceberg stroll through Gen Alpha's popular content landscape. 🧵
Anyone who's paying attention can see that something has gone badly awry with Gen Alpha's socialization, behavior, and mentation.
To my surprise, when I started looking into this, I found a bunch of Gen Z "influencers" sounding the alarm.
Parents are largely oblivious (or don't care), but Gen Z knows that small children are consuming deeply weird and frightening content.
A crude web series called Skibidi Toilet was some of the most-watched content on YouTube in 2023.
It depicts a creepy adult male head emerging from a toilet. The toilet men are at war with CCTV-headed humanoids.
Predictably, it's harming the kids who are watching it.
The creator of Skibidi Toilet also has a video called "STUCK IN A PISSMARE" that has 12 million views. The channel itself has 39M subs.
Horror in general is a popular genre among children aged 3-10.
Poppy Playtime is a wildly successful video game featuring nightmarish muppet-esque characters. YouTube is littered with countless creepy Elsagate-style "shock" videos starring its characters.
(Elsagate, by the way, is still going strong -- it's just wearing a new skinsuit.)
Please consider that the *tiny children* who binge on Skibidi Toilet and "homebrew" Elsagate/fetish-horror at home are ALSO being subjected to Queer Theory and SEL at school.
Consider the compound effect of these influences.
Parents need to be paying very close attention to what their kids are watching.
What I'm showing you here is a TINY SAMPLING of the rot that exists on YouTube, and much of it has made its way onto YouTube Kids as well.
Postscript:
I'll add more examples here, to this thread, as I'm able.
I wanted to do something comprehensive, but I don't have time to put it together all at once. It'll have to be piecemeal. Please, though, look into it yourself, and let other parents know about it.
Here's a short documentary that covers Elsagate, Skibidi Toilet, and more. If you're just learning about this stuff now, I recommend watching the whole thing.
Ultra creepy YouTube channel "Kissy Show" has Poppy Playtime-inspired short videos that are clearly aimed at children.
What's sad is that if you click into the comments, you'll see nothing but emojis and gibberish. These are comments that were almost certainly left by small children who watch these videos unsupervised.
123 GO! is another popular channel with 12.4 million subscribers.
Seems like normal kids' content until you start scrolling through their thumbnails.
There's a lot of interesting commentary on the shuttered (archived) Elsagate subreddit.
"Elsagate is part of a much bigger campaign across all social media in the west that largely targets children and uneducated people and insecure people to agitate and radicalize them to intrinsically act against their country and without regard for their own best-interests. They're using the media we're addicted to to abuse and manipulate and indoctrinate children to make them self-destructive. Elsagate is active measures."
I'm telling you that children are watching, creating, and sharing cartoon p0rnography on social media, and this teacher is telling you that they're having sex in the bathrooms at school because they're in a state of out-of-control hypersexuality.
This bonkers academic paper argues for the destigmatization of mental illness among early childhood educators.
The authors critique “sanist norms” such as emotional regulation and professionalism.
“Mad Studies” is yet another sickly fruit on the vine that is Queer Theory.
🚩
Here they denigrate (“critique”) traditional motherhood while asserting that “madness” should be an “embedded everyday component” of early childhood education.
Here they describe how early childhood educators (preschool teachers) are subject to oppressive “sanist suspicions” about their mental health. Also discussed is the notion of “competence” and how it’s “weaponized” against unstable people.
Here’s yet another vile academic paper discussing RSE (Relationship and Sexuality Education) and its “possibilities.”
Here AGAIN we come across the desperate insistence that childhood innocence is a myth, and that children ought to know and “participate” more at an earlier age.
They want to “challenge the restrictive and harmful constructions of children as innocent.”
The author also criticizes the “overemphasis” on “risk-safety” and notions of “readiness,” and expresses concerns about the “policing” of “sexual agency.”
The author wants to “authorize” children’s capacities as “knowers,” including “ways of knowing-being that are often unwelcome, unspoken, and punished in the current schooling system.”
Queer theorists want sexual liberation for children. It’s that simple, and that abhorrent.
Read it for yourself. Minnesota is trying to REMOVE the portion of the bill (the strikethrough text) that discounts pedophilia as a sexual orientation.
In other words, they’re implicitly AFFIRMING pedophilia as a legitimate sexual orientation.
All that heavy lifting on the part of the lunatic academic Queer Theorists is really paying dividends.
It’s imperative that pedophilia-as-sexual-orientation does not get written into law. Remember “sexual citizenship” for children? See where this is going?
Caffeine withdrawal update in case anyone is interested: I’m 3 days cold turkey. Headache is gone. Lower energy overall, but fewer peaks and valleys. Enjoying comfortable power naps. Less stressed. Feel like my blood pressure might be a bit low. Enjoying food a lot.
After a year+ of helping to care for my ailing mom on top of my own kids, plus my family being sick all winter, I’ve been pretty severely burned out. I do feel that stopping the coffee is helping with that already, and I recommend it to anyone in similar straits.
As much as I love coffee, I would say that when I’m heavily caffeinated on a daily basis, that’s not what I could honestly consider a “sober” state. There is a kind of mental quiet and presence that I’m experiencing off caffeine that feels very natural and very healing.
This article appeared in a journal called Medical Humanities, under the umbrella of the BMJ.
Organ transplantation happens in “queercrip spacetime,” organ donation is tied to capitalist exploitation, and apocalypses are about “the potential to imagine other futures.” 🤔
Wait, it gets weirder:
The author, a sr. lecturer at U of Strathclyde, has a “strong interest in monsters” in addition to her preoccupation with organ transplantation, and is a founding member of “the Monster Network.”
TMN tweeted this about “rethinking” transplantation.
Recap: Here we have a credentialed Queer theorist (with a professional association with an arm of a prestigious medical journal) who is obsessed with both monsters and organ transplantation. Do you see that we are already approaching Frankenstein/Mengele territory?
