I always appreciate when well done kids show up in games, it makes the worlds so much more lived in and believable.

However.

Many game developers, for whatever reason, struggle to model kids that don’t look extremely weird or creepy.

Right because playing a video game with drugs as a subject matter is the same as using drugs. She totally should’ve known there’d be a pack of meth in there.

I dunno. I’d like to think that even if I bought the goriest game, I’d still have a right to be upset if there was an actual human finger in the game case.

Well, at least its thematically consistent.

Right there with you, I need my Native American super powers!

As a white person raised by white people I can promise you a lot of us treat our own kids like shit too.

Obtuse assholes linking me to “black on black crime” in response can get fucked.

Sometimes I think white people are just pure sadists. I can’t understand why they hate our children so fucking much.

Sounds like someone needs to evolve their survival.

Also the idea of “anything but autistic” is so fucking shitty and gross. I really just hate people.

It bears repeating...

You have to be a special kind of asshole to refuse funeral services to someone. I have heard of churches doing this, too. This person’s loved ones are experiencing soul-crushing grief. You don’t have to be the humanitarian of the year to show some compassion.

I give it six months before we’re all just stuffed in dog crates with shredded newspaper inside and stacked in the hold next to our luggage.

9 months is an EXTREMELY long time when horribly uncomfortable, avoiding the long list of things that can hurt your fetus, and undergoing very expensive and frequent doctor’s appointments. Never mind all the trauma that birth the birth can visit on your body. But, hey, as long as someone out there wants that baby we…

You’ve never been pregnant have you? It can be hard enough even when you want the child. Your comment is incredibly tone deaf and lacks any awareness of the bilogical, and psychological stress (not to mention financial), changes, and risks associated with pregnancy.

Adoption is an alternative to parenting, not pregnancy.

And there’s already a foster care system that needs to be severely overhauled so that kids that end up there and in limbo due to their biological families getting chance after chance to keep fucking up, can actually get adopted out into stable homes.

This isn’t always true. There are more children awaiting adoption than adoptive parents in the US right now. Additionally, while there are a lot of people waiting for babies, that in itself is no indication that they are good people who will make good parents. I don’t trust strangers, or the state to vet them. I am…

Folks are out here really struggling financially, mentally, and emotionally just trying to be a person. Some don’t have running water, they have no support.
