    It’s appalling that software companies would blatantly push branded propaganda like this!

    I miss when games weren’t tainted by corporate advertising. We had good wholesome games like Yo Noid, Cool Spot, and Chex Quest!

    What kind of ghouls are coming up with this bullshit? Speak about selling your soul to Mammon.

    Do children have parents? Because this is their problem. When did personal responsibility stop being a thing?

    There has always been shit out there that will fuck up your kids. That's literally never going to change unless our species goes through some DRASTIC and specific evolutionary pressures. As a parent, it's your job to protect your kids - not society.

      So if a kid has crappy parents then who’s job is it to keep the kid safe?

      Ah yes, surely “DontMakeMoreBabies” would be the perfect source for all my parenting advice.

      Everyone knows that anti-natalists are the best source for parenting advice!
