Hello again, today I'm ranting about the weirdest (derogatory) kids books I've covered to date as well as a certain ukelele playing youtuber who has spent 15 years making bad content for kids, among other things.
By now you've heard of Colleen Ballinger and her creepy behavior towards kids. I know no one needs to hear another person weigh in but I'm angry and this will hopefully help me stop ranting about this to my family and friends.

Thank you for hanging out in my little corner of the internet. Stay safe and have a great day/night/unit of time. I'll see you in the next video...bye!! :)
At this point the Colleen Ballinger news has hit mainstream news media. And more stuff just keeps coming out, it blows my mind every time I learn something new. It's kinda hard not to hear about this. Also it doesn't help the song gets stuck in your head, it's catchy, which makes it worse.
Also all aboard the whole "aw I loved this as a kid, wait what ew no yikes, why was this socially accepted at the time, now i feel awkward and conflicted with this piece of media I loved that shaped me, but there's yikes parts, and now I'm in this state of dissonance" train.
Yeah I was singing the song while doing my makeup and felt insane. I believe that it's important to appreciate content that you're nostalgic about for what it did for you in the past but also look at it with a critical eye. Sometimes it holds up and sometimes you can let it go. I know it can be tough though.
I keep losing faith in humanity every time this happens. no wonder the galaxy thinks we're a backwater planet. it's because of freaking stuff like this.
We are the Florida of the galaxy.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuffagreed😊
That too but mostly because of everything humans do to fellow animals and our planet and just all on her AND ignore it, complain about it, act the victim and martyr AND try to stop those of us trying to help and fix AND while trying to invade and cause it elsewhere!
I love how she says she just wanted to be like the weird aunt while acknowledging how uncomfortable that person is making their target...
Ikr! And at no point did she have second thoughts while posting this. 👀
And considering how her character Miranda is implied to be a victim of m***station by her uncle
Thank you for getting art is dead stuck in my head instead of the stupid ukulele song I’ve had stuck in my head for the past couple days
You're welcome 😁
Sailor Moon isn’t originally for young kids. In Japan it’s for teens and adults (like most anime).
When anime was becoming more popular in the west during the 90’s/2000’s the idea that cartoons are only made for children was very strong. This caused many early translation and licensing companies to butcher a lot of shows to try to force them to be appropriate for young children.
Eventually most of these shows got newer English versions which are closer/more accurate to their Japanese counterparts.
Except for Pokémon, where the English and Japanese versions are still different to the point of almost being considered separate shows by fans.
I mean in sailor moon's case it did debut in a shojo magazine which means it was aimed at girls 12 to 18 so I still call it a kids show. And the DiC dub which the novelization is based on is definitely for kids.
Yeah, i'm kinda glad i never heard anything about her, except a parody of her apology video. I know it's not the best approach, but with most drama issues that happen in the world like this I give them a wide berth and try to ignore them as best I can because I feel like there's nothing I can personally do about the situation and I have to think about my psyche a bit. I come back to it every now and then and let it inform me, just because curiosity kicks in. So thanks for the coverage and the rant.
Always prioritize your mental health. The RUclips world is always going to be there when you're ready to deal with it.
It makes me so mad to know that this is what children content creators are doing.
There are plenty of great kids content creators that I love but we have certainly stumbled across some weird ones on this channel.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuffagreed😊
As a person going into Youth Theater I'm often horrified by kids content on RUclips. There is no moderation on this platform. I'm sick of queer and black stories being drowned out by sexual creators for children. I can't wait to make make children entertainment but being queer is going to make it harder. Kids need diversity in their stories.
You're so correct and your acknowledgement of that is what I'm sure will make you great at making kids content. Best of luck! 🙂
I think you added a lot of great and valuable points to the conversation!
By this point, it no longer surprises me when children's content creators (particularly youtubers) are exposed for predatory behavior like this and I'm right there with you in your anger about it. I regularly work with kids in an educational context, so I try to be aware of these things and teach them about online safety/media literacy because most of the time their parents just put the ipad in front of them without a second thought and a lot slips through as a result. At least that way I can have a meaningful conversation with them about it or encourage their parents to have a conversation with them because that's a whole heck of a lot better than either extreme of 1) leaving them unsupervised to be exposed to potentially harmful content or 2) just banning everything deemed "bad", aka: "difficult" to talk about!
Anyway, on a lighter note: "I'm not sure why I told you all of that, but I found out that information at 2:30 in the morning and I just wanted you to know it" is the way I live my life, so I appreciate and respect that you included your findings. XD
Thank you for chiming in. Parents should watch tv and RUclips with their kids and know what's going on. Many books I mentioned could just be handled by the parents monitoring it and talking about the story with their kids (except for Modelland which honestly no one needs to read). And lol yeah I just had to share the "DJ Milky" fact because that was... unexpected.
When you point out Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon was never meant for kids. It was meant for 16 and up which is kids but still mature than what the Dic dub has you believing. You gotta remember in Japan what's deemed appropriate there isn't the same as the west. In Japan sexuality and nudity is different, it's more so less taboo in public and even more so in some European countries. My relatives went to Italy once and there was a lot of well...naked statues and paintings. It depends on the point of view of the culture really. There's also artistic nudity which I just mention with the naked statues. In the old anime of Sailor Moon and in the manga, there are instances where the characters are show naked to show vulnerability but again it's more so "Barbie Doll" nudity where no bits are shown. It's just to show the character's human side.
Sorry the long comment! Though I do agree with that you said, I just wanted to point out some stuff. I never heard about this but wow! This is a prime example of people just botching their life in the worst way possible!
Yeah I'm really just speaking harshly on the one book today since it's aimed at kids and there's no way to not make the paragraph sound creepy given that it's a kids book and through American writing it just sounds wrong and someone probably should have revised it.
I've heard about this and it's absolutely heartbreakingly disgusting.
I know it's so shocking from start to finish.
It really really is..
I'm so glad this is getting as much coverage as it is; as someone who works with children, I couldn't imagine why an adult would want to engage with their child fans in the way that Colleen has for so long. And sure, the ukulele apology video jokes are funny, but I think they could possibly distract some people from the real, serious aspects of the situation.
also for what it's worth, I am college aged and when I was in elementary school, I can FOR SURE remember Miranda Sings being very popular with 6-10 year olds. I never knew anyone over the age of maybe 12 who watched Miranda Sings, and I never did.
Thank you for watching! I totally agree with you I ran an after school program and cannot believe what some people will subject kids to. I watched Miranda at like 13 and then grew out of it. I'd love to see her analytics if she's so PG-13.
It’s amazing to me at how some people can’t just simply apologize for their actions. She also just really didn’t understand that the things she did weren’t appropriate to do with kids.
An apology is an admission of guilt she will only say sorry in court to reduce her sentence
She really doesn't seem to get it and that's what's most shocking.
The whole reason kids stuff is targeted to kids is because it's supposed to safe for them. And then we have things like modelland which is "supposedly" for kids but it clearly isn't. Clearly that book is a horror novel. My own channel while I post all these demos of animatronics that are kid friendly I'm not really targeting them. A lot of the props are from the early 2000's and 2010's which a lot of my friends and myself grew up with. I'm just enjoying collecting these props and it's for everyone, but I do have an intended audience.
Yeah I'll forever be shocked that modelland exists. The thing is there's nothing wrong with adults making whatever they want if it's not meant specifically for kids and that was another thing in the song where she said it wasn't her responsibility but like yeah...but you made kids content. It felt like fear mongering to get other creators on her side.
I was actually hoping you'd cover this, I wanted your opinion - or, well, reaction - to this whole situation-
I'm glad! I was hoping people wouldn't be annoyed at another Colleen video but I wanted to speak on it.
Not at all, I think you gave a very important insight into it all, and showed me yet another perspective of this whole situation, so thank you!
It's upsetting because it's not even an apology, it's just her saying she's not sorry about anything and YOU'RE making it up.
Yeah and trying to get other creators on her side by pretending that this is somehow about creative liberties.
I will be honest in theory and general I think that its not bad to have friends outside of your peer group. However do think there needs to be boundaries set. How talk to person my age or older, is going to be different than how I would to a 13-year-old. Certain thing are not appropriate to say and do, especially if family is involved. And I wouldn't be a part of "toxic gossip train", if there wasn't so much EVIDENCE of her grossing multiple moral lines with minor so far.
Totally agree! Adults can speak to children if it's appropriate and creeps like her acting like there's no nuance to what happened is disturbing and further harms children. It's like she doesn't even register how messed up it all is.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff I know right, a lot of things need to be considered. I know that there are people that have related to children and it can be weird but nothing evidently gross like she did. This is especially concerning considering I have heard nothing regarding the kids parents. On a lighter note, my I recommend a less problematic RUclipsr name Colleen Manga Recs, she talks about shoujo manga and anime and is overall insightful and entertaining.
During the pandemic, I watched Colleen's vlogs since they were easy to put on in the background and listen to while I worked. I had even made and sent dolls to her. While I hadn't been subscribed to her in a year or so, I still feel so gross now for having ever supported her. Seeing the amount of stuff that has come to light about the creepy shit she pulled just makes me feel dirty and stupid for not seeing it sooner.
You shouldn't feel stupid. You gave your time and energy to a creator who didn't live up to it and that's on her. I hate that for you.
In your defense, I don't think you would've known about her creepy behavior unless you were in her inner circle of friends, since that's who she talked to the most and creeped on. If you were a casual fan who wasn't involved in her Discord servers or didn't see her live routines, there was no way you could've known about this.
I’m only 13 but growing up (I know I’m still growing up shhhhh) I watched and read all of the 90s movies and books and my favorite book was boxcar children and know that ur looking out for me means the world to me thank you so much
We will do whatever we can to keep this space safe for you just remember that if anyone anywhere on the interwebs talks to you in the way the creator talked about here did to people block them.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff Thank you so much I will
No wonder she always gave me the creeps, even back in her main hayday of being a ytuber. My only exposure to her is when she appeared in some Rewinds, seeing her face on books, and parodies that other channels were making about her.
And I do agree with the second half talking about outdated/ more mature content in childrens books, especially chapter books. I read the big series you mentioned minus the Sailor moon novels and Modelland but I wanted to bring up an example from a more mature series with stand alone books, Torchwood. While not targeted at children specifically but as the more adult Doctor Who spin off had a book about one of the main male characters waking up with the body of a girl and then his entire personality and character got deleted basically to be a most basic women stereotypes ever. While yes the book itself could've totally worked in a way of showing how different women experience sexism but the executation of the book flopped hard. The author, whos male, has written one other book for Torchwood and it was better than Almost Perfect so we genuinely don't know who dropped the ball on that one.
As someone who sees the character in question as a beacon of chosen gender get turned into my assigned gender at birth def creeped me out along with the fact that gender swaps don't always work depending on the series and Torchwood was one of the not working ones.
Interesting, I've never read torchwood so I couldn't have even told you the premise. Maybe I'll look into it someday.
i tried watching her netflix show when it first came out, it felt really weird and off and I only watched a few episodes. Her sense of humor kinda weireded me out as a kid
I never even watched it. By the time it came out I was way over the whole miranda thing.
I'm not surprised you jumped on this given how closely you and the Knights guard the babies in chat. There is a reason I allowed my son to join us.
Well that and so I can mercilessly tees him 😜
It genuinely means a lot that y'all feel safe in chat. We do our very best and the Knights of Bot are lovely.
Thank you for making this video. The whole Colleen thing is absolutely disgusting. The more I hear about what she has done to kids makes me wonder how people were okay with it for so long. There are definitely others like her who will abuse their position, but hopefully people will take the safety of minors more seriously and know red flags when they see them.
Honestly I think she's gotten away with it for so long because parents never stop to watch her. Like if parents paid a tiny bit more attention to their kids and what their into this may not be happening.
I appreciate you weighing in on this Avery! You have a unique perspective and even though I've seen quite a lot of coverage about this, I think it's important that so many creators are taking a stand and making valid criticisms about the harmful nature of over sexualized content geared at children so that CB (and other similar celebrities/internet personalities) don't have the chance to play victim any more claiming that people are just dogpiling about 'simple mistakes'
Thank you, yeah it bugs me because sure people on the internet can be mean but that's not what's happening here and the way she tried to spin that so other creators would feel sorry for her really pissed me off. It's so easy to not be weird to kids.
I just hope Colleen's kids are okay
Fun fact: my youngest son is named after a character from Animorphs. Hint: we refer to him as our chaotic little red tailed hawk.
Awww, so cute!
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff thanks! I never read Animorphs but my husband was a huge fan as a kid. I kinda picked the name based on Divergent 😬
Her little song is the The Narcissist's Prayer in progress. "That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it".
If her apology/explanation from 3 years ago that I keep hearing about was so genuine/true that is absolved her of everything and 110% cleared her name, why the hell wouldn't she just say "This is about "event x" from "timeline y". Here's my video talking about it in "timeline z""? Unless these videos/screenshots are from after that event/timeline, and she think she shouldn't have to be held accountable and forced to explain everything twice. After all, people know her, so they should just watch and accept her previous screw up apology, and then just guess that she have proof this time as well and that she's feeling the same way now and have totally learned/changed yet again, so that she can just go on her merry way after any screw ups that happenes after "event x". So instead of spending her time coming out with a genuine/heartfelt apology, since she's going against her PR group anyway, she just wrote and sings this little "Lalala, I am innocent, lalala, this is all lies, lalala, you're in the wrong for being mad, lalala, I know the truth but I shouldn't have to prove it" text
I honestly think she felt so entitled to people believing her that she thought everyone would be on her side and this would be her viral moment of dunking on the haters which is absolutely wild.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff That is very much plausibel, as it's a theory/idea that would only be 100% reasonable to her.
*has never read animorphs before*
"This child who is now a hawk has to fight the urge to mate with a female hawk"
Um excuse me what lmao
Okay but also that clip of Tyra saying she wants every girl to look in the mirror and see something beautiful is hilarious considering how terribly she treated the women on America's Next Top Model. Shit during lockdown I rewatched a bunch of seasons and had to stop because I noticed my self esteem start to suffer
I know I also had to take a break from top model because I have a history of dealing with ED and body dysmorphia and it legit got triggering.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff really though! And all of the women on the show are beyond gorgeous and the judges just tear them to shreds so easily
Personally, in the cases of something like "Sailor Moon" (( though I would argue it's not necessarily 'for kids'', at least exclusively )) or "Animorphs", I think it's essential for children to learn that the world is not always a kind place. That dark things do exist and it's important to value their blessings all the more because of that. In my experience horribly maladjusted humans can come about from too much sheltering just as much as any sort of neglect. I think the key, as humans, is regulation and balance in those areas.
Totally agree. Most things in both those franchises I think are totally fine these were just a couple places that personally make me uncomfortable given the target demo.
Yeah i've heard about this and i begin to question, why people do this to annoy & get attention?
In terms of AUS or NZ popular, obscure or lost media, there's a lot i've find but of course taken down or blocked, mostly on YT because of course which is why i put links in playlists for stuff that isn't on YT or normally blocked in Australia.
Currently Flea-Bitten is the main one i'm watching on Stan & it's animated, but as for side stuff i have a ton of options to pick usually 1 or 2 at a time.
Today's playlist of mine to share is this one and it's pretty recent & not finished: ruclips.net/p/PLYlDcNpatC7_G_YnXGa1H6TYFthqgu42-
Uh… you ok up there?
Because this isn’t about you and they don’t do it to annoy you or even factor you in
@@Cassxowary I was typing at late night because time zones after being in the city for a few hours playing Pokemon GO, so I was tired, stressed out. I mean to word it differently
I really appreciate your insight on this. The environment online that platforms folks who endanger youth & enable behavior akin to their own is such a heavy concern.
Tangentially, I’m currently discussing/writing about what differentiates YA from adult fiction in one of my grad courses & all of this feels incredibly relevant.
I appreciate it. It's definitely a concerning thing. Good luck on the paper!
Should name these vids, “Angry Avery Talks About Stuff”.
I've used youtube for a long time but I'm apparently blissfully ignorant of miranda sings. There's a special place in hell for people like that and I hopefully won't end up near them 😕. I don't mind certain innuendos in children's content (makes it easier to watch or read with the kids) but at times it feels less inadvertent and more intentional, kids are too smart to not realize that something's up.
Oh yeah her content just isn't aimed at your demographic and lucky you for that lol. There's a big difference between the smart humor of things like Shrek that have double meanings in most of the jokes and this where it's just straight up assault jokes in her videos.
Highschool kids representttt older highschool but still highschool
I have not liked this for years. There is so much insane stuff aimed at kids. They love that stuff but it just is not right. Even with cartoons on TV my mom asked me if I would want kids to watch south park? I said I wouldn't want kids to see me watching South Park. I love the show but that is not kid friendly. And when they have a cartoon like on Disney channel or cartoon network and it has adult themes. You tube has been horrible with this. What is this stuff? I am very up on things and I never find stuff like this that kids are up on. I am into millions of things for real not just a saying. I never see this crazy stuff on my own that kids are watching.
What was that book about the ten-year-old (I think?) who started like a whole kissing competition or something? and the teachers were doing pretty much nothing to stop it through the whole story. I think it was from Apple Books, too. It did at least end with none of the fifth graders actually wanting to follow through on kissing in the end, and doing a trivia thing instead, which was a pretty good ending, but I just remember all of us in chat being incredibly uncomfortable for the whole thing, and I think requesting that the youngin' remove themselves for that particular stream.
(The rest of this comment is kind of rambling and probably too long; you have been warned.)
I don’t know; I guess that kind of thing gets complicated because of how young kids are when they start getting into that level of physical affection and how big a deal one thinks that is, and having crushes at that age is perfectly normal. I don’t think kissing is that big a deal in and of itself, necessarily. I had a "girlfriend" when I was 10 or 11. But I'm pretty sure I "married" a kid under the willow tree at daycare, too. Having a "girlfriend" when I was ten meant holding hands under the table in class and going to the fifth grade dance with her. It's about as close to playing house as it is to an actual relationship, just a basic part of how children learn to become adults. And afaik, it's perfectly normal to start having sexual feelings and exploring yourself when you're around that age (and even younger in the latter case), and kids should know that.
But kids *worrying* about having kissed someone by high-school, "lost their virginity" before they even graduate, really the whole "kids getting older younger" thing in general is largely *because* we have so much media that isn't appropriately for its actual audience and/or features teenagers doing things that aren't even necessarily developmentally appropriate. And sometimes, this is partially because the actual audience doesn't match the supposed target, which gets into a parenting thing. But there are so many shows featuring teenagers, high schoolers, acting like people in their twenties (or acting like children and doing things that make sense for people in their twenties.) And l don't know who the real viewership or the genuine target audience is for something like Riverdale or Gossip Girl, but even if we're talkiing about teenagers, they're getting this idea of what they should be doing and be ready to do that just isn't true. Middle-schoolers and even younger kids get the same kind of messaging.
Casting is a huge issue, too. People in their twenties have gotten through the awkward puberty things. But if you cast them as teenagers, teenagers will feel like that's how they're supposed to look.
A lot of this would be helped tremendously by shows for teenagers and adults that are about highly sexualized characters, which often don't even really show the characters being in high-school, were just aged a up a couple years to be in college. Why not do that? What's going to suffer from that? What's going to suffer from that change that isn't your viewing numbers from preteens/young teenagers?
I started watching Buffy when I was about five, I think that was a net positive in my development, so I'm absolutely not saying that there is some kind of hard viewer/character age thing. Most of what I watched wasn't targeted at me, but I think it was a lot more appropriate than a lot of what was. There is definitely stuff in Buffy that I would want to talk to my kid about if I had a kid who was watching it now (like the entire Angel/Buffy relationship, because I will not believe that Angel was supposed to be anything other than a grown-ass man while stalking a fifteen-year-old) but between Buffy and Xena I got some solid female empowerment and wlw role models. But that's partly because I wasn't allowed to watch season six of Buffy--especially the finale--until much, much later. (Parts of 7 were apparently the subject of much debate. I think there was a human-on-human violence issue.) A lot of what I watched was aimed at adults, and a lot of it was much more appropriate than some of things targetting my demographic.
The Kissing Contest by Dian Curtis Regan! I forgot about that one until the video was almost out the door so it didn't get added but maybe I'll do a short about it. I totally agree that there's a difference encouraging what's normal at a certain age and displaying grown up things to kids way too young. I feel like gravity falls and the owl house do well with showcasing typical preteen romantic feelings without it ever feeling weird or inappropriate. I think this is a problem where parents aren't always up on what their kids are into and what we're seeing is the real life consequences of that.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff Owl House is so good! Except I haven't actually finished watching it yet....😑
I do that a lot. I get to the end or right before climax is about to really, well, climax, and then stop. I think it is probably partly not wanting to be done or being too anxious about the characters. I happens a lot when I hit the spot in the arc where everyone fights with eachother or gets separated, too. And then the period between putting off watching something and ADHDing myself to a totally different interest is very short.
A slightly different thing, but one of my favorite models for kids of adult romantic relationships is in Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, which I haven't seen the last season of, but from what I have, Eugene and Rapunzel are so good together. Right from the special that sets the show up, I think, Eugene proposes to Rapunzel l lduring a feast (possibly in her honor?), and she says no because she is not in a place to commit and settle down the way he is asking. Here is the good part: as soon as they get a chance to really talk after that (once plot things have happened) he actually apologizes for putting her on the spot in front of people. He also tells her that she doesn't need to apologize when she immediately gives one back, which is particularly good given that her description of yelling and leaving is in no way what happened, and I'm not actually sure if that's a mistake thing in the writing or just an intentionally written trauma effect from how she was raised. But my favorite is the end of that conversation, when he tells her that he admits that he doesn't totally understand why she said no to the proposal (despite still wanting to be with him), but that he loves her and he promises to keep trying every day until he does.
Just the fact that he recognized that proposing to her the way that he did was not okay and that he apologized should not be a big deal, but that alone is standing in the face of very nearly everything I've seen on TV since I was a kid, and I love seeing the kind of relationship modeling those two have in general coming from a Disney Princesses.
This song reminds me of Taylor Swift’s 2009 SNL monologue song.
😂😂😂
14:33 Infamous last words
Lol, right?? The way her eyes light up when she says it just tells you so much about that behind the scenes discussion too.
I never liked her even when she was super popular, she always had this dead look in her eyes that unsettled me
What is your stream schedule Avery?
Right now I don't have one. I stream when I can but you can count on Mondays for kingdom hearts and Thursdays for as the world turns rewatch.
Just going to mention this Incase you didn’t know, judging by this segment you probably don’t, but sailor moon is a self-admitted rip-off of an ecchi from the 70s called cutie honey. They ripped the whole premise, her catchphrase, and even ripped an entire episode. I’d recommend watching the original cutie honey for context, but it’s ok if you don’t want to, it is an ecchi after all, and VERY smexy. Just thought more people should know this :)
Oooh, interesting! I didn't know!
She is forever part of Disney. I can't tell you how much I LOTH that.
Uggghh you're right!
It’s really weird to think about the fact that I’m on the younger side of most of your viewers it makes sense to me but also just very strange 😅
We're all ✨old✨ never forget.
I just finished watching this and I'm shocked that Colleen Ballinger had been doing this to kids and I didn't think she would be capable of doing that. Also this is one of the things that worries me about starting a RUclips channel as well as someone revealing something from my past.
30:31 Wrong voice there, fyi; that's the one you've attributed to Visser _Three._ Visser _One_ has yet to reappear.
Lol, I know when I got jumpscared I said visser one but was thinking three.
1. Well there's a person and possibly issue I have NEVER heard of before . Contributing to the question "Is my internet experience the same as the rest of the world? Despite millions of views. no, no it is not.
Im also waiting for the issue to start
Also 15 years of internet? If you Grew up on the internet, you're young I was in my 20s when RUclips started. We had no internet at all till I was in my late teens.
If you are diving in to Elsa Gate territory RUclips being inappropriate is not new. Children just should not be given the internet and just aloud to watch it. Parents should watch with them and lean in to physical media or live TV. I can't even imagine what its like growing up on baby shark etc like When I was a kid we all watched the same shows now each different child can maybe see a completely different thing the others have not seen.
RUclips is the world of Fred and annoying orange. Its just not Mr. Rodgers. There's no quality control. Part of its appeal. Also part of its distain.
"Appropriate for kids" is really subjective. Some people would call "Turning Red" Inappropriate for children. Some people call The Simpsons "Inappropriate for children" or Captain Underpants "Inappropriate for children"
So like with "Cuties" or "Gender Quire" or Ezra Miller Im not clear on the full story because I don't have context for the subject.
and also what are "Children"? 5 year olds? 16 year olds? 19 year olds? 13 year olds? people toss the word around a lot. a 19 year old gets shot and its "A child got shot"
Older media books and TV shows and cartoons were full of content modern people are against. Those words have long been perfectly acceptable to say and many people are still not happy with the censoring. So some times when things are "Inappropriate" they actually are appropriate. Go farther back un time, go to an other culture, you'll see a ton of stuff made for kids we don't consider appropriate. Don Bluth gets super intense at times. Tom and Jerry, Loney Tunes, even some times Disney, Who Framed Rodger Rabbit, Little Audrey, Thundercats, other things they all have content we today would call not for kids.
The world's standards change from era to era and place to place. We read "The Trouble with lemons" in school and "Catcher in the Rhye" and "Flowers for Algernon"
and if you ever watch Jan Solo you'll hear how very messed up old books used to be.
Kids had inappropriate content shown to them very often in the 80s Monster Squad, Police Academy, The Goonies, Weird Science etc
overall Books should just have an age listed on the back. maybe also content. and there should be a consensuses what is appropriate or not. and if a book is questionable it should not be required reading. and if books do have nudity or profanity or sex and ARE kids books then we should put other books with the same content along side them. "Acceptable" for OUR kids means a different book with the same content is appropriate for "Your kids" Do not BAN Gender Quier while keeping The Killing Joke on the shelf. Both are kids books or both are not kids books. You can't have it be ok for one and not ok for the other.
I think what people are seeing in The Blue Lagoon, Cuties, The Goonies, Revenge of the Nerds etc is that children actually talk about this stuff actually do this stuff. its real. Children actually do talk and act this way. Seeing this in there cartoons and books and movies reinforces the idea its not wrong.
I feel that's why adults today are messed up. every thing from Cosbey Show to Legend of Zelda and Captain Planet told us how to act and some times those things had bad examples.
Kids need to see more shows like Owl House where they show the proper way to be in a relationship. With out being ham fisted, they showed how to be moral with your partner.
Weather or not fictional characters can be naked or in skimpy cloths or if they have to be covered and can't even show ankles its a culture gap issue. That content is not wrong, how we react to it is. it existed in the past and in the far past and it exists in other places. If we want to push for rights and fight for safety at the same time we need to decide together where the line will be drawn We can not be BOTH prudes AND also embrace Progressive ideas. These two things are opposites.
and in regards to Drag Queens, this too falls under "Maybe inappropriate" Both the costumes and the subject matter fall in that category
While that is some thing we need to define and be more inclusive with, at the end of the day no on e forces you to go to the event. YOUR children are not exposed to it. Other people's children are not your concern. Other people do as they wish and if you both leave each other alone all the better.
Also I would like the opportunity if invited, to list all sorts of media for you to view and judge on your channel. I'll include things I agree with as well as things I disagree with and then see where you alien with.
She’s coming to Oklahoma soon. I have no plans to attend.
I’d do it and bring friends and fam and boo her.
Or something…
Well one of her shows just got cancelled so we'll see if she even does the show.
After hearing all this Colleen Ballinger stuff I wanna listen to Taylor Swift new album and play life is strange just not think about this anymore
Totally valid...I'm gonna go watch a Disney movie and make a snack.
❤️👍
Yeah, i dont really know whats up with all these japanese kid shows that need to undress children in some scenes. It goes even further in digimon tamers, where its not "just" the silhouette and it makes me sooo uncomfortable because i know there were all these adults on the drawing board who had no problems with animating kids getting their clothes ripped off leaving them completely naked... i dont know... maybe for them its just art, who knows
Sure, it can get grody sometimes, but I also want to remind you that nudity in itself is not automatically a sexual thing everywhere in the world. Northern america, mexico, brits in prticular from my experience seem to be extremely, overtly afraid of and unable to see nakedness as anything except erotic. Northern and eastern europe, japan, much of sub-saharan africa, a naked body is not actually automatically a sexual thing - communal bathing, public breast nursing etc is very popular.
The Rage of Vandenhouten. 😈😈😈😈
Good commentary on an ever increasing problem.
Thank you 🙏
I love your videos so much love your channel.
Thanks so much for watching!
I had not heard about this situation, but I know Miranda Sings and it NEVER crossed my mind that it was aimed at children. I think the first time I saw anything with Miranda I was 18 and I found it deeply uncomfortable.
I haven't watched her since I was a child and didn't ever think about it until this happened and I saw the crowds of kids at her show.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuffMaybe it's because my idea of children's content is so vastly different and RUclips wasn't huge until I just started HS. This is very disturbing though and I'm glad you talked about it.
love you avery
I just started the vid and I’m transfixed by the stickers on your laptop and want a sticker tour
Haha, thank you! I'll have to make a short and do a sticker showcase.
Oh my gosh what the heck were these people smoking when they were writing these books ? Must have been high as a kite
Ever since I started to cover this stuff I've had the same question.
Great 🎉
My mom also asked me what I think are good shows for kids. I said shows about nothing like Mr Rogers. I think Little House On The prairie is not even good for kids because the kids are mischievous. I feel it could make them that way.
That's a little overboard, don't you think? There's noting wrong with kids being mischievous on tv, what's wrong is when adult writers and directors expose their young audience to sexual or overly violent content. Trust me, my mom hardly let me watch anything as a kid since she was worried it would "make me mischievous", and I ended up being one mischievous kid anyway.
@@springshowers4754 kids need to behave and not be out of line and learn respect and very much need to be away from sexual content. When I had my daughter with me I was very protective of her. I did not want her pregnant until she was old enough it worried me a lot. If you do not listen? You are going to have to feel. not meaning abuse which is totally wrong. I put a big stop to lots of abuse with children. You feel by learning from not listening. As you fail that's how you know. I really do not like kids watching wrestling even. Hulk Hogan was a good role model back then. But it's not like that now. When I am talking kids I mean little kids not teenagers. But still even with teenagers the sexual stuff needs to be controlled and really shouldn't be.
@@michaelaiken6482 youre the most american dad sounding person i've ever observed in the wild and not in a good way
@@jasminv8653 Children love me and i have been a dad of three children. not just dad sounding.
@@jasminv8653 The real problem is upbringing in recent time. parents need to think ahead of things and be ready to show reality over fantasy. i am looked at as one of the best dads ever and children without dads wish i was their dad. the thing that makes things work the most is the best results that come from good upbringing over what is known. being interesting as well not boring.
Dang 1 minute ago (I’m just now going into highschool ;-;)
Please stay safe and be wary of adults who want to be close to you or tell you you’re grown up/mature and stuff like that!
She is treating this as a joke and less serious because she's a woman. It's a complete double standard.
I think she's treating it as a joke because she's a RUclipsr who's gotten away with it for this long. She's gotten away with it for so long because of a double standard in how we see gender and abuse definitely.
why do you look kinda cute in this video, it's weird
Why go into the guy in detail and not just say you were surprised because it was inappropriate for the age demographic? Would you have done the same if a woman had wrote it? I agree it's inappropriate for girls but an adult man writing it when aduly women also write this kind of things leads to bad stereotypes that hurt kids thinking only men are dangerous ones.
Also the fact that, again, inappropriate, 'a teenager none the less' no, she's lines on a paper before she's a teenager. She's been a teenager since before you were born. It doesn't belong in a book for young girls but this sort of thing alongside of actual children being hurt directly is really fucking insulting.
This whole video features mostly women who made inappropriate content for minors and I have a whole section about how women unfortunately get away with this stuff because of gender. I am not implying that men are more predatory in any way. Also, the point of specifying the age of fictional characters is not to say they are akin to living victims. The point is that for that to be written an adult had to think about underage people in that way which I find concerning. I am not in any way saying that it's the same as real life victims. It's just part of a bigger problem.
Haven’t watched it yet but makes you wonder if she was working up doing that since the start! 😶🫥
And I hope she gets what she deserves but sadly I doubt it hey…
And side note your title reminds me of some toddler t-shirts (by Spencer’s Baby) I saw at the new liquidation store nearby the other day, 2T-4T ones calling other 2-4yo (or less! My 1yo is in 3T!) girls bitches and bragging about the wearer’s dick(‘s size) and saying about not being a bitch and to fuck off and 3T-4T ones with reasons to bully and physically harm (kick your ass, as they put it) someone else! And it’s just normal child raising stuff that isn’t spoiling the kid letting them do/have whatever they want whenever they want! And saying about the mom’s chest…
I have no words… 😶🫠🫥wtf America. …
I’ve got a 5yo and 1yo and thank God I don’t see those shirts being worn and that one’s at home and the older one’s school has a uniform!
Yeah kids clothing is a whole thing I swear. I've gone baby clothes shopping with my cousins and woah...people will put their baby in the craziest stuff.
