This is what its like working in childcare. Kids do stuff like this all the time.
People letting their kids watch the boys at that age lol
My 5yo started asking a lot of questions about war all of a sudden. The Ukraine war had just started so I figured a bunch of kids saw it on the news with their parents. Turns out these dumb fucks were watching Squid Games with them, so they started playing out executions during recess… Between that and the little boy who was lighting girls’ hair on fire because “girls should cover their head”, she didn’t stay too long in this school.
Damn.
My 6yo mentioned the war in Ukraine out of the blue the other day, we found out he’s been watching the evening news with his grandpa though.
His buddies at school are Minecraft and Spider-Man obsessed. He’s all about Lego Star Wars so it’s going ok all things considered. Still a bit more violent than the early preschool days.
Lighting girls hair on fire? Are you in the UK or Canada?
France. Lots of projects around my neighborhood, so public school is mostly Muslim kids, as the white families put their kids in private schools.
France makes sense sadly. Seems like a lot of extreme ideas are being supported there.
The show is literally called “the boys,” how can it not be meant for boys?
That drawing is way too good for a lil kid. At least I hope that’s the case, because anyone under 10 shouldn’t be watching The Boys.
I could see a kid drawing that, though I think the page has been…edited by somebody. There’s a lot of erased text in that speech bubble, and the “homander” is written in a different hand compared to the rest of the text. It’s too composed compared to the rest of the handwriting, sticks out like a sore thumb. I can read what looks like “shoom, eliminait…whatever the fuck I want” underneath it that looks closer to the rest of the text, but it’s hard to say.
I can’t tell if somebody was okay with everything else but thought the F word was going too far, or what.
Definitely different handwritings going on. My guess is someone fucking around with a younger siblings homework.
I was thinking that as well. Somebody who “embellished” their siblings homework to be edgy or something.
I mean, the original (erased) text seems to include the phrase “whatever the fuck I want”, so I’m not sure the change made it more edgy.
I’m in my 30s and I don’t think I could draw something that good
I’m in my 30’s and I don’t think I should be watching The Boys
Talk to your parents
I’m in my fifties and probably shouldn’t be watching The Boys
@sbv they tend to see clips on either YouTube shorts, TikTok, or incorporated into other things. They don’t need to watch the actual show to think Homander is cool
I going to guess Call Of Duty. They had a Homelander skin as a tie-in and I’m pretty sure it had a laser eyes execution.
My biggest question here is how that kid thinks farts work
They obviously fall on the floor unless someone snorks it up midair.
Aiden woke up and chose violence.
zoom in you can see the imprint of the first draft he erased
{illegible}… whatever the fuck I want
kid is my spirit animal
Homander?
Homander.
wtf is it
Homelander from The Boys, basically narcissistic, evil Superman
*who the general public thinks is a good guy like Superman, but the other superheroes quietly know is in fact a murderous, traitorous piece of shit
Foster parent checking in: so true.
@Shkshkshk @196 Do you have means by which to report potential bullies? Because I can only imagine a bully thinking this way.
@pteryx @196 fun fact about child development: Kids don’t develop proper Theory of Mind until they are about 7 years old. Before the age of 7 every child is a little sociopath that is barely capable of comprehending that other people also have feelings.
Its not impossible for them to develop empathy, though it’s hard. You can get those Empathy neurons firing by forcing the kid to think about other people’s feelings at least once a day. So, any kid with good Empathy just has good parents.
@Shkshkshk @196 Do you also have an excuse for why the bullying victim gets punished by teachers instead of the bully?
@Shkshkshk @196 Suffice it to say that I suffered through over a decade of “bad classroom management”, a lot of which went above and beyond mere attempts at containing screaming and crying… and meanwhile, the “teasers” (the teachers insisted that the verbal bullying be called “teasing”) got away scot-free.
I ultimately dropped out of school because of the way the teachers treated me, even two years after they actually finally decided putting the bullies on notice was a worthwhile step.
