The amount of parents who are probably going to borderline abuse their kids for the sake of discipline because they were taught by their own parents that it’s the only way to discipline your children is really scary to me.

The boys did talk about when they realized their parents were human but Indians and most south asians don't even realize sometimes all of their lives. They just think forever their parents are gods and obey them to their deathbed. Of course, there are cultural, societal, psychological and so many other reasons that they think this way but it doesn't work in making their mental health any better and they just pass on these toxic traits to their children without any awareness. Their children suffer like crazy when they realize that they did not have a normal childhood and it takes a lot of work and pushback from your peers and friends to be a little more individualistic and choose a life for yourself.

[@vindifference]

Truly on Garnt. It's interesting to me also how so many come away from being parented like that and are good with it. I can only imagine it was because as kids they felt they deserved it because they truly were just being little assholes, and their parents at least were decent role models otherwise. But for me, while my dad would often lay down the law and sometimes make physical threats, none of his disciplinary methods actually did anything for me because I was already a well-behaved kid. I realized early on that he himself lacked discipline, doing things like getting drunk and making us stay out late when I needed to go home since I had school the next day. His use of fear was often just so that he could get things *his* way as the man of the house. So while he used fear to control, as an adult now I have very little respect for him beyond appreciating his past monetary contributions. I have no desires to communicate with him further, which my mother sometimes says depresses him (I'm not the only child who feels similarly). Sadly, you make your bed, you lie in it.

The parenting discussion was very interesting, and I loved Garnt's insight. The line between respect and and hatred is as paper thin as that line between discipline and abuse. And that's what makes parenting so hard, because you don't want to make your child hate you, but you also don't want them to end up as a bad person. It's also important to remember that some people are just innately are born a certain way, as well as the way people respond to each circumstances are heterogeneous. There are plenty of people who grow up in harsh and abusive households, who make their way into society as respectable human beings themselves (albeit a lot of emotional trauma and need for therapy), whereas others that grow up pampered all their life end up harming those around them.

[@SilverDragonJay]

For the record: its bad to hit your kids when they do something wrong. It doesn't help, it can only make the problem worse and can leave the kid with lingering trauma that they will have basically for the rest of their life. A trauma that they will pass on to their kids if they don't unpack it. This isn't me speculating, this is an accepted conclusion within the fields of psychology and childhood development. Don't hit your kids. Be a responsible but firm parent. You can punish without hurting. It just takes a bit more effort then most parents are willing to put forward and it requires them to not be emotional. And honestly, I'm not convinced that this is really a epidemic of bad behavior. Aside from a small spike during covid, crime as a whole has been on the decline. I think the problem is a few people who exhibit antisocial tendencies being gassed up by people on the internet. Then you get a sampling bias where the most egregious examples get the most attention (because they are egregious) and then because everyone is talking about them, the incidents feel far more common then they really are. To make matters worse, the people who have antisocial tendencies see others with those same tendencies acting badly and getting attention so they are more likely to become copy cats. Ultimately, I think its a mental health issue. We need to take the mental health of kids more seriously (which means specifically _not_ hitting them) as well as the mental health of everyone. We need to be on the look out for behavioral red flags and focus on the people with those flags. We need more teachers and smaller class sizes so that teachers can make one on one connections with their students and students can do the same with other students. We also need to socially support people in our communities because things like poverty exacerbate societal problems (there's a lot of research that suggests that economic disparity has a large causative effect on crime rates and that poverty has a causative effect on criminality). Everyone also needs to get out more. That means less time on Twitter and Tiktok and more time engaging with your local community. Talk to people who are real and physically in front of you. The majority of people are normal people who are just trying to get through their lives. Our modern society is very atomized right now, a lot of people are disconnected from those around them and as a result a lot of people have a hard time empathizing with others. No one has friends, everyone is lonely, third places practically don't exist anymore or have been heavily commercialized. Meet your neighbors, go to community events, get involved in your local politics, talk to your coworkers, hang out with people in person, chat with your waiter/cashier. I know its hard, but it gets easier as you get used to it, trust me. Don't worry about saying something stupid or awkward because chances are they won't even remember in a day. If they do remember and they're a dick about it then you probably don't want to talk to them anyway.

Have you ever heard of 'Mean World Syndrome'? It's an effect where people think the world is more dangerous than it it due to frequent exposure to disturbing stories in the media. The level of media we consume these days is astounding. They say that the average person in 1987 consumed about 42 newspapers worth of information, by 2007, the number had risen to 127 newspapers worth; more than ten years on I can only surmise that that number has risen. Among all this information, negative information rises to the top. Negative stories get more exposure, because people are evolved to always stay on guard for any threats to themselves or their communities. One effect of Mean World Syndrome is the rise of overprotective parenting, ( particularly in the 90s as sensationalist media and tabloids rose, thanks to Ronald Reagan deregulating the media in various ways) as parents were inundated with stories of kidnappers and pedophiles, seemingly ever increasing, even though, statistically, such crimes were on the decrease. Overprotective parenting, far from keeping kids safe, can make their lives worse and make it harder for them to deal with adult life, and even lead to or exacerbate certain mental health issues. There is a book I read (Stolen Focus b Johann Harri), that went into this quite well. He was focused on the effect that overprotective parenting and a lack of unsupervised play may have on children's attention spans, but I believe you can extrapolate it to other areas in life. "What skills are kids learning there, as they play freely with each other? For starters, if you're a kid and you're on your own with other kids, 'You figure out how to make something happen,' Lenore says. You must use your creativity to create a game. You must then convince other children that your game is the best to play. Then 'you figure out how to read people enough so that the game keeps going.'. You have to learn to negotiate when it's your turn and when it's their turn-- so you have to learn about other people's needs and desires, and how to meet them. You learn how to cope with being disappointed, or frustrated. You learn all this 'through being excluded, through coming up with a new game, through getting lost, through climbing the tree, and then somebody says, "Climb higher!" and you can't decide if you will or you won't. Then you do, an it's exhillirating, and then you climb a little higher the next time-- or you climb a little higher and it's so scary that you cry... And yet: now you're on top. These are all crucial forms of attention." "One of Lenore's intellectual mentors, Dr Isabel Behncke, told me that the scientific evidence so far says that 'there are three main areas of child development where free-play has a major impact.'" "'One is creativity and imagination--it is how you learn to think about problems and solve them. The second is 'social bonds'--its how you learn to interact with other people and socialize. And the third is 'aliveness' it's how you learn to experience joy and pleasure. What is learned during play is not a trivial add-on to becoming a functioning human being, it is the core of it. To be a person who can pay attention fully, you need a base of free-play." "But suddenly we have been taking this out of kid's lives. Today when kids do get to play, it is mainly under adult supervision, who set rules and tell them what to do. On Lenore's street when she was a kid, everyone played softball and policed the rules themselves. Today, they go to organized activities where adults intervene all the time and to tell them what the rules are. Free play has turned into supervised play, and so-- like processed food--has been drained of most of its value." "This means that now, as a kid, Lenore said, 'you're not getting that chance to develop these skills--because you're in a car being driven to a game where somebody tells you what position you're playing, and when to catch the ball, and when it's your time to hit, and who's bringing the snack, and you can't bring grapes because they have to be cut into quarters and it's your mom's job to do that... That's a very different childhood, because you haven't experienced the give-and-take of life that's going to prepare you for adulthood.' As a result, kids are not having the problems and exhilaration of getting there on their own. One day, Barbara Sarnecka, an associate professor of cognitive sciences at the University of California, told Lenore that today 'adults are saying: 'Here's the environment. I've already mapped it. Stop exploring" But that's the opposite of what childhood is.'"

So yes, it's technically true that Kick isn't the only problematic social media site, but it's the only one that actively promotes and condones problematic content. The whole point Kick was trying to promote is that it's less strict than other streaming sites like twitch, when it comes to the content they host, which includes gambling. Not to mention they openly sign content creators that already got banned from other sites due to already problematic behavior on their previous site. Heck, the face of their platform is Adin Ross and xQc, I feel like that alone is a red flag.

I think fostering compassion and empathy in children so they don't do bad things is the optimal method but even I admit that doesn't always work and kids can blow that off and not get it like I did. So when that fails you go the discipline route of enforcing consequences to them being a shithead. So losing certain privileges or being made to make up for what they did.

As a parent, I respect Garnt a lot more now. He says a lot of good things that resonate with me and my husband’s parenting approach. I was physically disciplined as a child and it’s followed me in a negative way as an adult. My husband on the other hand was only popped once on the butt as a child and even though it was that one time, he remembered it. Don’t get me wrong, there needs to be a clear boundary between a parent and a child and a level of respect on both sides. But touching your child that way should not be a means to discipline. The lack of patience is what drives someone to not think it through and choose the easiest path of violence.

[@notaspeck6104]

I'm so glad Mudan or whoever was editing put that disclaimer in, because all physical discipline is is literally positive punishment (presenting a negative stimulus), my question is then why not use a stimulus that doesn't involve pain and violence? Or use negative punishment, taking away something they like. You could also see it as classical conditioning, in training your kids to associate bad behaviour with pain. But just like the editor said this is harmful as it doesn't seek to understand where the bad behaviour is stemming from (is there a problem at school, are they being bullied etc) and doesn't train the child to actually understand their behaviour, why it was bad and why it's morally wrong to do it. It's also important to realise that kids are not mini adults, they perceive things and have totally different logic systems to adults. You have to think like them, you can't expect that what you think makes sense will make sense for them. You might say I'm overreacting but imo it's that societal normalisation and blurring of lines that genuinely leads to abuse in some households. Parents resort to physical discipline probably because they're too tired or busy to use other methods, that are by far healthier and more constructive. But this isn't a good thing and shouldn't be normalised. There are also plenty of ways to be authoritative and make your kids respect you without hitting them...maybe find a better way to parent or just use a damn condom. The most common arguement I see is 'well it worked for me', but not everyone is you. People are different is so many ways and just because some of you turned out reasonably well adjusted doesn't wave away the countless who didn't. And people love to bring up stories about kids doing bad things, but don't want to acknowledge how violence in childhood leads to some of this behaviour as well? It's a double edged sword. Again I'm not saying you should be soft with your kids, just that there needs to be balance.

"did I turn out ok because of my parents or in spite of them?" is so real. I wanna say I don't believe any child can be a crappy person without some outside influence but I turned out the complete opposite of my parents despite them being very self centered and homophobic and closed minded lol. nah but really I don't think a child can be evil, just traumatized. my nephew was diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder but it's SO clear to me that he's just acting out because he has a lot going on in his mind due to ptsd (diagnosed) and his single mother neglecting him. everyone calls him a brat and it makes me so upset because he's literally just a kid. his mom barely acknowledges his existence half the time and the other half the time she's yelling at him and spanking him to get him to behave. I rarely saw her showing affection to her kids when I was living with my family. her daughter is a bit older and seems a lot better at least, but it feels like she switches between being really shy and kind of having an attitude and I'm worried about her too, can't be healthy for her living in that environment. I thought about contacting CPS about my sister's treatment of her kids but I can't guarantee they would have a better life with a foster parent because they can be pretty bad too and probably wouldn't know how to deal with a kid with ODD. I think my sister likely has some undiagnosed mental disorder that causes her mood swings and I like to believe that if she just got help she could learn to be a better parent for her children. I strongly believe that anyone can get better, it just takes the willingness to do so. can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves, unfortunately. growing up I so firmly believed that my parents were good people. I'm the youngest of 5 and as a kid I saw my teen sisters go through a rebellious phase and fight with our parents because they took away CDs that were "too unchristian" (it was just pop punk music) and a lot of other probably messed up scenarios I can't remember. I remember my parents taking away my sisters' doors when they really misbehaved. 2 of my sisters dropped out of school and the other never went to college after promising she would for the longest time, all of them got pregnant before marriage which my parents believe is sinful lol. I swore as like a 10 year old that I would never be like them, that I would behave and always listen to my parents... that didn't work out LOL. I went from being the unusually quiet obedient kid to not doing any of my school work (undiagnosed adhd made me unable to focus and it just got worse over time for some reason) and sneaking on the internet to get groomed by strangers, getting into self harm and trying to kms a few times, went thru a phase of hating my parents, now I'm queer and don't exactly hate them but don't want anything to do with them either. they're just not the kind of people I vibe with. my brother absolutely loves our parents and it shows, and I feel so bad that I just don't feel the same way at all. but like, it took me SO LONG to accept that it wasn't me that was the problem. I legitimately believed I was "born broken" or that I failed my own parents somehow? like mf you are a CHILD how is raising yourself YOUR responsibility and not your parents' lmfao. I kind of resent them for the trauma they gave me but I know they're just entirely unaware of how bad of parents they really are, and they're old and I've moved states so at this point it's like, well I'll just let them continue living in denial. I won't gain anything by telling them how they've hurt me, I don't hate them or wish any harm on them or anything, but I don't love them either. I just want to live my own life and heal on my own and I have been doing so since I moved out a couple years ago and it's just so nice being on my own (well, I live with my bf, but I mean away from my family). like I can finally be at peace. I'm just glad I didn't turn out to be a carbon copy of them repressing my trauma for the rest of my life and repeating the cycle by abusing my own children, and that I have the chance to heal from my trauma and all the mental crap I have going on and just be my weird silly self :)

[@bluelfsuma]

Spanking did nothing for me and my mam. She just learned to be sneaky about disobeying her parents. I learned that I really didn't like family touching anywhere near my butt and bits, and distrusted them for using physical discipline, for a short while afterwards. My mam says talking to me was more effective. As for the difference between respect and fear, it is not a fine line. It's a pretty big difference. Respect is when you don't want to do something because you value someone's opinion. Fear is when you do anything and worry about how they'll react. One can beget the other, but they are very different. I controlled my peers through fear, and when I let them see that good behavior got someone who can be joked around with, they began to respect me as a human being. And I was able to respect them as people who are conscious of the people outside of them and their friends.

[@bandohjfusion4885]

That sounds like it was a bit more than just spanking to me.

[@bluelfsuma]

@@bandohjfusion4885 This might be a little TMI, but I think I needed to clarify, because OoPs. That can be interpreted as pretty baaad! *TL;DR:* No, it was just spanking. My parents tried it, it failed, and I had weird thoughts about it. *The Long AF version:* The weird thing is, it _was_ just spanks. The reason I didn't trust afterwards was not because of _that kind_ of child abuse. Both my parents have experiences with SA, and my father taught me to kick adults in the crotch if they tried to harm me. I don't think either of them would have done anything like that, and I have no memories that would imply they did. I'm trying to think of why I was particularly perturbed. I think it just pissed me off, because I've always gotten angry after I get a little hurt. So them using that as a discipline made me think less of them?? I guess??? Which is hypocritical, because _I_ used pinches to get my classmates to behave, even if it was an arrangement we agreed upon beforehand. And I don't know where I came up with that, because my parents almost never used physical punishment on me. I literally only remember getting spanked once. Maybe that was enough for my brain to use controlled violence as discipline. And I overall just didn't like family touching my torso and lips. I was aware of that stuff from a pretty young age (asked how babies were made at 4, had a swimming class, and barbies), so it was kinda like if your parents spanked you as a teenager. It's not the pain that bothers you, but the humiliation and weirdness, because _that stuff_ is uncontrollably haunting your brain. I hated if a kiss on the cheek nearly got too close to lips, because incest is a very gross concept. I think that must've been it. My brain really didn't want to accidentally get anywhere near incest. ...Maybe it was because my parents told me our dog might've been sired by her half-brother, and I was really skeeved out by that. That must've been when I learned about incest. Sorry this is so, so long, I just want to make it clear, I'm not a victim of _that,_ and I was literally trying to figure out why I was so weird about it as I was typing. No need to worry about me.

This is so true. I have a friend whose dad was an absentee father, used to do a lot of drugs, then come home and yell. One time even threw my friend's guitar to the ground. My friend hated his dad and said he would be different when he has kids. Now he's grown up, and just like Joey he thinks his father was right for hitting him, thinks it made him turn out a proper man. He also smokes copious amounts of weed and cigarettes. And the last time we talked about parenting, my friend said his would-be wife would do all the parenting and he wouldn't' waste his life on his kids. Massively disappointing development, he's becoming like his father and his kids will see a repeat of the cycle.

Even some Kurds stabbing each other (between two big families) and 100 Kurds flocked together at hospital at night and riot police were dispatched, seven guys were arrested, yet none of them were prosecuted and let out free.

And when we look back we will find those times. No privilege in it at all. Learning from ur mistakes isn't privilege. All can do it, depends on if you want to

@Infinitetreee Heres one that doesn't involve discipline. U as a kid. Are in school. You call another kid a name. You are a developing bully. 4-5th grade Now two things would happen the bullied kid could hit u for being a jackass or he could tell the teachers. Telling the teachers (talking) would make the bully mad that u are 'snitching' (Not school specific goes for both white, blk, asian, etc schools) and likely hurt the bullied kid more. Or the bully could hit the bully and what does the kid learn. Maybe actions have real consequences. Not a talk, not counseling, not detention, not suspension. But a real affecting result. That is learning to not do bad. We all had a time where we found out the hard way after we CONTINUALLY did stupid stuff (knowingly or not) and we immediately learned

@Infinitetreee u dont have to like it. But my state allows parental punishment. So I will parent MY kids as I see fit. MY Kids MY choice.

[@UnicornWarLord77]

Oh dear god it gets worse lol Raise your kids with love and they will respect you. You don’t want your kids to fear you or fear your disappointment. If they love you and look up to you, you gain respect and if they respect you they will try to never disappoint you and gain your trust and admiration. Be firm, make rules and goals but be kind, understanding and loving.

[@sandenson]

Yeah, that segment was hard to listen to

[@TomorrowStudios]

Very true

[@dkenji]

Thank you ❤

[@Ryushi7399]

with how crazy the internet these day, it's just be better to not let them use the internet until they're old enough to find which is right and which is wrong

[@johnic1641]

This episode actually has the worst takes, not funny bad, just downright dog shit

[@Satsujinhan]

My understanding is that the streamer who went to Fukushima (Joeykaotyk) wasn't trespassing on purpose, his guide fucked up. And he was released without any charges brought against him.

[@machan6635]

Never been to twitchcon or any con, but this was quite the insightful episode. Learned quite the lot.

[@ZootMono]

the dads knowing how to fix everything was so relatable lmaoo

[@cyoc]

Perfect time for them to talk about on going topics which needs to be addressed at. And what's perfect than listening from the boys views directly. Would be a fun and one.

New nomination for "Best out-of-context clip" goes to Joey for: "We need more parents to beat their children!"

[@haruri93]

As someone who had to pass by Shibuya to meet some friends, it didn't seem like nothing happened really. They just had people keep moving, so you could go and stuff but you couldn't just stay in one place for too long. That's all I noticed at least.

[@NicolasDarknessWolf]

Love Connors description of this kind of people in true British fashion giving them the most disgusting labels

[@shino4242]

Fear and respect isn't a fine line. They are two different things. Fear is not respect.
