‘children should not be exposed to literature about bigotry, violence, etc because they’re Not Prepared For It’ is like one of the most privileged opinions you can possibly have. i hate to tell you this but a lot of children face bigotry and violence in their daily lives! for children of colour and children who are victims of abuse and children in poverty, these things are Actually Happening to them In Real Life! what you are advocating for when you say children should be shielded from these things in media is for the white children with stable loving nuclear families to be shielded from acknowledging the lived realities of their peers!

[buddhawithoutorgans]

I saw an experimental standup show by a comedian (his name is Corey White tho he’s not active anymore) who talked extensively about the neglect he experienced in his family of origin and then the sexual abuse and violence he went through in the foster system etc, and at the end he was talking about getting a scholarship to attend a private school. He found The Metamorphosis by chance on the shelves in the library when he was like 15? And when he read it, he saw this character, Gregor, and how he was rejected totally by his family for something that wasn’t at all his fault, and yet his love for them was constant and unconditional.

And being a fifteen year old boy who’d been brutalized his whole life by the people who were meant to care for him, for no reason at all, Corey broke down and cried in the middle of the library. And obviously this stuck with him because he was given this national platform (an hour-long stand up special) and he finished it with this memory. That story and the message he took from it stayed with him long into adulthood, he said suddenly he didn’t feel totally alone in his experience as an abused child. Who would deny a young person that kind of catharsis??

People have even gotten to the point where they’re saying that children can’t experience stories about death, as if death is something “too grim” and “too upsetting” for a child to possibly understand. But children are exposed to death all the time. Children have grandparents who die, parents who die, siblings who die, friends who die, and they know what it’s like go go through that grief. Overall, to act like childhood (which people paint with a very broad brush, sometimes they mean six-year-olds and sometimes they mean middle schoolers?) is a period of complete and total innocence and that children never experience any suffering, any grief, any bigotry, is really deliberately ignorant. People are talking about a fictional, idealized, archetypal Childhood and fictional, idealized, archetypal Children who are nothing but innocence have never experienced any kind of suffering

[kyraneko]

Caitlyn Doughty, of Ask A Mortician, wrote in one of her books about how her first encounter with death came from watching a child fall off one of the elevated aisleways at the mall, when she (Caitlyn) was eight. And how much it fucked her up, to have that be her first experience with death, and how so much of the driving force of her crusade to have a healthier and more open understanding about death comes from knowing, viscerally, the difference being equipped to process it makes.

And I think the “children aren’t prepared for it” argument is a self-fulfilling prophecy, because people are running on this idea that if you just shield people from something as long as possible they’ll magically develop the maturity to deal with it and that’s not how it fucking works. You’re just leaving them deliberately unprepared and playing chicken with the universe, which doesn’t play chicken.

Also, and I cannot stress this enough: stories are the preparation. Ideally, people explore and experience difficult things in concept before they encounter them in reality. But even in retrospect, having the means to process something that’s already happened to you has major benefits on its long-term effect on you, and there’s much comfort to be had in realizing that you’re not alone.

This is also part of why it’s important to let kids self-pace their development and their exploration– it’s not that information can never be traumatizing to kids, it’s that what kids need and when they need it *varies.*

And why it’s important to teach them HOW to self-pace (e.g, skills like assessing their feelings about content, stepping away from upsetting content, seeking out support for processing content, etc.)

Clark Kent & Bruce Wayne by Gerald Parel

[evandarya]

Okay, so I love the Civilian!Bruce thing I've been seeing around here. But Bruce dropped out if med school. He was going to be a doctor like his father. Imagine, Doctor!Bruce. His kids are vigilantes. Who do you think they go to when they get hurt? Can you imagine, Red Hood breaking into the manor for his dad to stitch him up?

[bruces-midlife-crisis]

adding to this, imagine if one of his kids showed up injured to the hospital where he worked

he takes off red hood's helmet to see if he's breathing and he just freezes. in absolute horror

red hood is his son. his precious boy has been going out every night as the vigilante red hood and he had no idea. what about his other kids? are any of them hurt? are they alive? where was cass, damian-

bruce pushed those thoughts deep down. it wasnt the time

red hood is his son. and he is bleeding out with no time to spare. and bruce will be damned if he let his son died

hours later, jason wakes up, head pounding, to see his father beside him, his face with dried tears with eyes full of anger and hurt

"tell me everything. now."
