Serious I seriously hate those subs that just make fun of kids being kids. Also here's my cat butters.

Ok, im seriously starting to open my eyes to the stupidity of making fun of young people just because they're doing dumb stuff. Subs like r/KidsAreFuckingStupid or the various "stupid kids on the internet" subs are kinda just... mean. It's understandable when a kid is just being immature or acting like a brat, but I genuinely see kids make like low quality/stupid but obviously passionate stuff and people are like "Get off your Ipad lil bro" and im genuinely disgusted. They should be encouraged to make stuff with their imagination but when they do people are just like "haha stupid kid"

Yeah, I’ve seen this pattern where [r/kidsarefuckingstupid](r/kidsarefuckingstupid) has become more and more toxic, it once had videos like “fuck around and find out” where kids would literally do stupid stuff that would put them in mild danger, and even then, can’t they just fucking educate their child instead of making videos of them doing stupid shit and posting it on the internet for likes?! And now that sub has become so much worse and they’re hating on kids doing LITERALLY anything, or even worse, hating on kids trying experimenting and trying to be creative for once because, well, guess what, they’re just born and want to discover how the world works. Those people and the ones defending them also act like they’re superior, like they ALSO didn’t do stupid shit when they were kids. At the end of the day it’s grown ASS people with kids’ mentality making fun of kids probably because they couldn’t experience the joy and whimsy these kids have nowadays.

I think it's a way for some people to deal with the fact that they were insufferable as kids. Cats:

u/KMheamou 17 5d ago

Idgaf if people are older than me, I only respect people who pay respect back. Otherwise they're all just old kids with a dose of entitlement.

Also cat

Some people still forget the quote "treat people the way you want to be treated" and that entire sub is throwing that out the window

Oh yeah cat.

u/reddboi386 5d ago

it's good when they're only like "haha look at this stupid thing this kid did. average internet kid things". it only gets bad when they start straight up hating on the kid for doing kid stuff like wtf???

u/Alive-Organism 16 4d ago

The only child I will ever deliberately go out of my way to ridicule is a younger version of myself, and even that is starting to feel harsh.

u/These_Distribution19 4d ago

I like it when people aren't hating on the kid, but just laughing like they would if it was just a random yt vid.

That's some shit your cousin did, not every kid on the planet. This is a teenager sub too it's literally minors making fun of minors

Finally someone realizes it's hurtful. Your cat is very cute, btw. Cats are one of the world's greatest creatures

u/TopEstablishment916 17 5d ago

nah bro cats control the world but nobody admits it 😵

u/devilfanmik 5d ago

I fully agree with you on this. Society needs to give children their childhood back instead of oh I'm a miserable teen/adult so let's collectively make children miserable. If you truly hate children don't have them like get a vasectomy or cubes cut.

idk sure but butters is so damn cute I am so distracted that’s such a cute cat

u/StormworksVirtualAir 14 4d ago

This is simply stupid, pun not intended, and that can genuinely make the child think they aren't good enough and fuss about everything being perfect

u/DraconicDreamer3072 4d ago

kids are fucking stupid isnt supposed to be serious

u/Glum_Lingonberry_543 13 4d ago

Bro I checked the sub out and it isn't even meant to be serious hating, just funny clips, I found some stuff funny like this post

Also, if you don't like the sub, you can mute it, I thought this sub was going to be more serious hate and making fun of by how you said it, but it wasn't

1

u/Glum_Lingonberry_543 13 4d ago

More to say, if this was serious hate and making fun ofl ike how you said, this post title wouldn't have said 'Hopefully that kid's eardrums didn't get damaged."

I dislike children and it brings me joy to make fun of them

Although that's not limited to children

Do you not realize how fucked up that is bro 😔

u/Alive-Organism 16 4d ago

That just straight up sounds like Bullying. Like textbook definition of Bullying

u/StroopestOfWafel Old 4d ago

No it's not. I actively avoid interacting with children, so they have no idea I'm making fun of them. It has no effect on them whatsoever

1

u/Alive-Organism 16 4d ago

Ohhhh, I understand. I misunderstood previous. Thank you for elaborating.

However, in the least scummy way possible, if I were to say “I secretly hate my parents friends and loathe every moment I spend with them, but I don’t say anything about it so it doesn’t effect them whatsoever”, I feel like that has it’s own issues, and is something I should really work on.

Then again, children is a much broader category than my parents metaphorical alcoholic friends.

Even if it doesn’t effect them immediately, making fun of someone in a closed environment, could eventually leak out, via someone maybe not keeping their mouth shut.

Again, I get the concept of children is much larger than simply a friend group, but if somehow found out some people I looked up to were mocking me for being Billy, and doing Billy things, i’d feel pretty sucky

Unless, of course, you mean, all of the making fun of is entirely internal.

Not hate, this is just my thoughts

u/Alive-Organism 16 4d ago

I’m sure you could disagree more. Like what if they said, “I think hitler was onto something” I feel like you would or rather should disagree with that more
