    clarification on the use of ‘slave’;
    Didn’t feel comfortable calling the child a ‘child labourer’ because it sounds like a way to glamourise it or make it sound normal, and ‘labourer’ ‘servant’ and ‘slave’ were used interchangeably in this situation so it’s what I went with. In Bangladesh (where Sixpenceee’s family live) the MINIMUM age for labour is 13-14. Sixpenceee’s family’s child was supposedly 8, and I’m assuming forced by their family to work, despite the fact that education is free until age 10. According to Bangladeshi law it’s not only immoral but INCREDIBLY illegal.
    My issue with Sixpenceee is not that she didn’t disown her family, or that she caused all this or hired the kid (bc she didn’t) My issue is that despite her ‘being against’ slavery and labour, she repeatedly defended her family’s right to have a child servant and justified it by claiming that they were giving her a great life. While it may be better than a sweatshop, it’s hardly a ‘great life’ for an 8 year old and in my opinion it was gross of her to minimise and make excuses for this situation.
    So yeah just wanted to clear that up! How you feel about the situation is up to you and I’m interested to hear everyone’s thoughts on it.

      Both of my grandmas were preteen maids for their aunts in 1920s Finland. Very common back when there was famine and poverty. The aunts taught wife-skills and my grandmas got then better chances to marry despite being poor. Downside was separation from family and getting rough treatment, especially if you were an orphan that got auctioned (really).

    I would like to point out that they say that in the Philippines and India child slavery is common. As someone who lives in the poor side of the Philippines. Fuck no it isn't. The mothers in this country is stronger than the military combined. Not one mother I know would make her child work until they are 17. The mothers and fathers are the common workers and people who make their child work her no matter the wealth status are fucking degraded and shamed. To think that this person can bundle the Philippines in to the countries that endorse child labor is beyond me.
    Edit: the children that work here work to support their family. They re not forced to do it but they do it to help.

      It's kinda similar in Iceland except during summer kids 13+ can go to "work school" the first year you dont get too many hours but you still get pay and experience and it heightens with every year until your 16th and then you can legally get a full time job. This is all optional but you get payed for it. Most of it is garden cleaning and trash picking up, planting trees, taking care of flower beds and more. This is all through the town you live in. Other than this you are legally not allowed to work until you're 16. And the kids get the pay into their bank account, never a parents bank account. But parents can close it in a savings account until the kid is 16 but not everyone does this and the ones that do it's usually just a part of it and the money kids work for during the summer they can use for going to the movies etc without having to beg their parents for money.
      But yeah this whole thing is just so fucked up...

      Sadly, this is not the case in India. It's a common practice here, although it's illegal. The children are often orphans and can work anywhere, from being a maid, waiter, etc, to even highly dangerous jobs like miners. It used to be so that the kids who do attend schools left before lunch (this has changed now, they provide food at schools, so now parents send their kids to school just so they can eat). Just a few kilometers from my city, there is a place where children are forced to make fireworks all day.

I used to joke that I could be a child from a horror movie because flip open any of my 5-8th grade notebooks and you'll find dark, scratchy sketches of people with their guts falling out and the word "worthless" written like 87 times in red ink.
    Vent art is totally 100% valid and it shouldnt be suddenly "scary" just because its a schizophrenic person letting out their feelings. Shut up.

    For me I personally believe that mental illness can be incorporated in horror as long as it doesn’t villianize the people with said illnesses. Like have the protagonist be someone with mental illness. Then we can see their struggles and how they can overcome the conflict they have so we can root for them. That way it shows that people with mental illnesses aren’t destined to be evil, and people with the same illness as the protagonist have a character to relate to.

      There was this one movie, forget the name, but the protagonist got married to a guy and was spending the winter vacation with his kids. The woman suffered from PTSD caused by religious abuse and took meds for it and these kids literally spent the entire movie stealing her meds and gaslighting her until she snapped. She didn’t hurt them, but she acted erratically and I think it ended with her forcing them to sit at the dinner table while she stared at them. It was a good movie.

      The game hellblade: senuas sacrifice is rly good at this. The protagonist has schizophrenia (and I think anxiety/ptsd?) and I hear the way the devs handled it was amazing. I’ve only just started the game and so far so good (I don’t have schizophrenia but I do struggle w other things that still make her relatable even just based on the trailers). One of the trailers is full of positive feedback from mentally ill fans and how they feel seen/compassionately represented after playing.

    unfortunately, the fact that sixpenceee thought this eight year old child working in her family was normal is not uncommon. In South Asia children working for other households is very normalized and not very questioned. At least where I’m from. I’m from Canada but my parents are originally from Pakistan so I’ve visited a few times and have witnessed these “child-maids” myself. The few that worked at my house were incredibly shy/quiet, and when showed any form of kindness were slightly skeptical of it and surprised. I remember an aunt of mine had a literal 11 year babysitting her two year old daughter for majority of the day. She would change her diaper, feed her, giver her a bath, and practically raise her. I remember meeting a 12 year old girl on time and asked her why she wasn’t in school. She said she used to go but was pulled out to help out her family. I asked her if she would ever go to school again and she said no, because unfortunately her brothers would not allow it and she would probably get married by 16. I wasn’t allowed to be seen talking to her either. It’s terribly sad really. But unfortunately it’s become normalized and these children are often trapped in this life they are given, by either being forced by their parents or not having school available to them anymore. Pakistan’s age to officially be able to work is 15, yet no one really follows this:/ every child that works as a “child maid” is simply swept under the rug and no one talks about how wrong it is. Talking to that 12 year old girl really made me more thankful for my my freedom in life, and how truly fucked up it is that she was being forced to work.

    Hi izzy , I'm from Bangladesh and child labour or child servant is actually a very common thing in Bangladesh. Every family probably had a child servant at some point of their life . Even though minimum age for child labour is 13-14 many poor parents force their kids to do child labour. Many rich parents hire children under 13 or less to take care of their child . Getting yelled at or getting beaten by their "bosses" is actually a pretty common thing for these kids .
    Me or my family has never hired any child labourer . We are very much against this . No child under 18 should do hard labour to feed their family . That's not their job . These kids are mentally traumatized. I've been in many houses and met many of these child labourer. They are so traumatized that they literally start to cry when I go up to them and speak to them like they are actual human beings and respect them or offer them food .

      I feel you dude. People who have any kind of psychosis get a super bad rep in terms of supposed violent tendencies. I tend to think that it's because when a person with psychosis commits a violent crime, it sometimes tends to be especially "bizarre" or "otherwordly", because it can happen when they're under a strong delusion. HOWEVER, people who struggle with psychosis don't commit any more crimes than people who don't, and they're certainly not any more violent. But the few crimes that get commited are ALWAYS sensationalized in the media because of their "bizareness" (crime scene, motive, etc), and it creates this disproportionate idea that all people with psychosis are violent in people's heads. It's maddening!

    [Tw: Rape] This isn't one of her bigger controversies; in fact, people forgave her for it pretty quickly or defended her for it from the beginning, but it also definitely left many people with bad tastes in their mouths-mine included.
    A few years back, she posted a story in which the Main Character (MC) gets the ability to see people's greatest "sins" after MC hit their head (and died??). MC decided to try it on their younger sister-who I believe was a teenager-(because reasons???), and sees their sister's rape (spoiler, committed by their dad). There is no clear explanation for why THAT'S the sister's greatest "sin," so when people pointed out that the story made it seem like the sister getting raped was a sin on the sister's part and that, that line of thinking was backed by the Bible-because all the sins described in the story where biblical sins and that fact was backed by the MC's internal dialogue; which included sins such as spreading gossip, adultery, etc.-Sixpenceee and her fans claimed that ACTUALLY the sister's "sin" was after the rape when she "used the lord's name in vain uwu." Which made no sense for the story because, for every other person, the MC only saw the actual SIN, nothing that "lead up" to the sin, so to speak (i.e., when seeing the optometrist was cheating on his wife, the MC only saw the sex, not the events leading up to it. During the assault, the sister had been described as only screaming, not saying anything, and only had written dialogue for the end of the assault. Not only that, but the "Lord's name" she used in "Vain" was her saying something like "oh my god." (which, fun fact: Isn't what "Using the Lord's Name in Vain" means)
    This was also a case of Sixpenceee reposting a story from somewhere on Reddit without credit, but was probably the fastest instance of her finding the OP to "credit" them because people thought she had written it. She was quick to push the blame on the person who actually wrote it (as if she didn't repost it???)
    She also didn't tag it with any trigger warners, which she did for most other posts-including those containing mentions of rape-citing she "didn't want to spoil the ending of the story!" saying that tagging the rape would have revealed the "plot twist." When people reached out to her about being triggered by the story-because again prior to this, Sixpenceee was really pretty good about tagging things like Rape, so no one knew she had PURPOSEFULLY not tagged a triggering story that graphically described a teenager's rape TWICE (once for the dad, once for the sister)-she all but whined and stomped her at the implications she should have tagged the story KNOWING it was a heavy subject matter. She never apologized for it. Instead, after several hours of various people reaching out to her to try and explain WHY it was shitty to not tag a story with a rape scene, using "but plot!!!" as the excuse not to, she "had a change of heart" and decided to start tagging stories containing "plot-critical triggers" (my words, not hers) with some shit like "Trigger Warning, Not Tagging Due to Spoilers/Plot." At the time of me unfollowing her-shortly after the above event-all the stories with that tag contained rape, so it kinda spoiled itself.

    Since I'm seeing a lot of Bengalis here I just want to put my 2 cents in. I grew up westernized, but when I was a kid and we went to visit our family back home, I had NO idea about the whole truth about bad things were with child slaves in Bangladesh. It was only later growing up that I realized how fu*ked up it actually is. Although most of my extended family's servents were around age 13-15, I have vague memories of visiting homes with very young child workers. No matter what age the child worker is, there is no doubt that you'll see a lot of verbal abuse going on. And the problem is that it's so NORMALIZED in our culture because we live in such a closed minded society. Nowadays Gen Z are realizing the faults of our previous generations.
    Edit: I also want to add that in some cases, taking in child worker does help poor families in the case that you will provide food, shelter, and safety for them, but it doesn't take away from the sad reality of child labor. It does help the family sometimes depending on the situation. Being homeless in Bangladesh is nothing like being homeless in the west. It's far more worse. This is just how it is in a developing country. There are no government benefits or shelters. There is very little safety and very little chance of survival. That is why some parents choose to send their children away. Privilege has a lot of meaning here.

She clearly normalized so much it in her head that it was impossible to rationalize with her that it was fucked up, even in a cultural setting, to have a child that young working for you. But was it anyone else, what could you actually do if you were visiting and saw a child labourer at your uncle’s home.

    Maybe a bit of a personal gripe more than anything, but I followed her for years as a kid and holy shit, can we talk about the constant barrage of shirt ads? She'd put shirts up on teespring or some other site and sell them for like, a single week at a time and during that time the posts about them were CONSTANT. All you had to do to get reblogged by sixpenceee was comment under one of her shirt posts saying how much you wanted it and then she'd reblog adding in a message in bold supersized letters about how there was only *THREE DAYS LEFT* to get the shirt. I remember going through my dash and within the time I was on it I'd find several different posts of her reblogging about whatever shirt she was selling that week with more and more comments from different tumblr users, some of them empty accounts, about how amazing the shirt was and how if they didn't get the shirt they were going to drop dead where they sat, or something. And you'd glance through her actual blog and it was so well scrubbed of all this even though she'd reblog her own posts several times a day.
    Again, maybe just a personal gripe but I found it annoying even as a 14 year old who liked sixpenceee

    A Bengali person here who lives in Canada rn. Having workers around 12 is uncommon but not unheard of. Most people avoid having live-in maids that young because they are children and can't do manual labor and chores most adults could. However many families lie about their child's age so they get hired. I remember visiting one of my cousin's homes and they had a girl who looked like a teenager or younger. I asked her age, turns out she was 30... Due to malnourishment many adults are shorter and look younger than they actually are. Which makes it easier for families to exploit their children. If you truly care about child slaves being exploited then stop supporting businesses that have sweatshops in Bangladesh ie Shien, H🙴M, Gap, etc.

    A bit of a tangent but it’s really sad and disappointing how mental health is still represented in media consumption. Just because someone has schizophrenia or bipolar doesn’t mean they’re violent or have aggressive tendencies. I have family members that struggle with mental health issues (as do I) and none of them have had violent outbursts ever (nor I). At most, they’ve had moments that are absolutely confusing and out of nowhere but that’s it. It’s not nearly as common as media makes it out to be that someone that’s mentally ill is automatically violent and volatile.
