People letting their kids watch the boys at that age lol

The show is literally called "the boys," how can it not be meant for boys?

I feel like I should be concerned about the emotional intelligence of today's youth, but at the same time I'm imagining this pokemon-esque abomination flying around and saying "Homander" before laser blasting the hell out of things and it makes me giggle as it probably did this child.

Honestly they probably didn't read or understand the entire prompt.

[–] Sombyr@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As somebody who was a kid once, it's more likely they ignored the prompt and just drew what they thought was funny instead, because kids don't often care about doing what's asked of them. This is absolutely something I would have drawn in first grade or something in response to a prompt like that. Minus the pop culture references because I wasn't allowed to watch much.

I absolutely would have lied about not understanding it to not get in trouble though.

they ignored the prompt

My biggest question here is how that kid thinks farts work

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago

They obviously fall on the floor unless someone snorks it up midair.

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.

[–] Shkshkshk@dice.camp 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@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@dice.camp 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@pteryx @196 no that's just poor classroom management

[–] pteryx@dice.camp 3 points 1 year ago

@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.
