I remember when I was 12 I said something incredibly hateful about a LGBTQ neighbor to my mom. She told my dad and I still VIVIDLY remember him sitting me down and âgentlyâ reminding me not to be a piece of shit and to grow tf up with how I talk to and about people. He didnât hit me, but the look on his eyes said âknock this child outâ. Like you said, it starts with adult influences and itâs important for good fathers to correct this shit.

We can also acknowledge the fact that maybe edgy humor shouldnât be so normalized in youth culture. Itâs one thing to be angsty, anti establishment but itâs another to be constantly saying slurs, and punching down on marginalized people just to be funny, but as we know with Americans comedy is just a delivery tool. Itâs sugar for the pill. Ask George Carlin if he believed what he said in his jokes

As a parent to a young boy, you've really hit on a lot of the issues and fears that I am constantly thinking about. The amount of times my kid has come home spouting some bs he heard from other kids at school that I then sit down and deconstruct with him - it's happened a lot. It's really made me realize how much effort you have to put in to counteract the messages that society pushes about men and patriarchy, because it is everywhere. And a lot of his peers will just absorb this messaging because they don't have anyone in their lives that will provide them with the time and insight to talk about that stuff. It's a scary world out there.

As the aunt of a 9 year old boy (who is a sweet, caring child) that is very media-focused and engaged, this terrifies me. My sister, his father, and my mother literally have been hypervigilant to make sure that his love of Roblox and watching streamers play games doesnt algorithmically start bringing the Sneakos of the world into his sphere.

senior in high school here. in middle school i was surrounded by boys who said the exact same things. and it made many of us, the female classmates, struggle. we were constantly bullied and harassed and we didnt know it then. its almost as if we thought it was normal. no one said anything. it wasnât until after middle school where i had a deep conversation with my friend and we were talking about how their behavior negatively affected us, and how we wished we had said/done something. a lot of the boys grew out of it, a lot didnt. i had a male friend tell my friend and i that if it wasnât for us, he would have fell down the red pill/conservative pipeline. i noticed a pattern with those boys where they were either in abusive households, or they simply did not respect their parents. households play a huge part of it

My personal favorite piece of media that tackles the concept of not just boyhood, but what it means to be a good person is Mob Psycho 100. This is primarily cause the main character Mob genuine is just high position of power because of his superpowers far outclassing everyone else, but he realizes that misusing that privilege he has isn't something that brings him any fulfillment. And where the story really shines is showing how the reason he is this way is because of the many positive male figures in his life. From the jocks at his school who accept him wholeheartedly and support his journey of physical improvement, to his mentor who despite literally being a scam artist, does his best to impart onto Mob that he isn't special because he's strong. To me, it always felt like the show/manga really wanted to take down the idea that you don't need to be some big manly man with the biggest dick in town to be someone of worth.
Also one another note, looking fab today Unc

It's so clear at 0:43 that this kid is saying "but not trangenders" to see if his idol approves. He's not saying it with confidence. He's saying it like he's asking a question or asking for validation.

A 12 year old saying "We love women... but not like transgenders" like he's trying to figure out what sport team he's supposed to like and hate is so sad that all you can do is laugh.
