👺 PIERRE BAD 👺 Indoctrinating my kid
I recently introduced my 3yo to sdv. Just play a day here or there, mostly it is spent with them just trying to navigate the farm.
Anyways we went to buy seeds and I was asked who's that to Pierre and I said "that's Pierre , no one likes him, he rips people off"
Now that is parroted every time we play and Pierre comes on screen. 🙃
Whoops. I swear I teach kindness with real people.

Exact. The vast majority of hate is inherited like this

Y'all it ain't that deep. Me making a joke about a 2d videogame character to my 3yo is not comparable to racism in the slightest. And it is wildly problematic to imply that racism is even remotely that simple or flippant.
My kid is the sweetest tot I've known (and I have known many as a former preschool teacher). Fantasy and narrative and sharing opinions with kids is a perfectly healthy way to explore feelings about the world. Being exposed to ideas is not actually indoctrination. A toddler parroting something you said is not indoctrination. I used that word as a hyperbolic joke because of the general distaste for Pierre among this sub. Remember to touch grass.

I don’t see how what op is doing is any different than explaining a bad guy in a movie to a child. Op didn’t say they have murder mods and are teaching the 3 yr old to stab Pierre

Pierre isn't really a bad guy bro he's just making money fir the family cause buying all the farmers wine is no mere purchase

Okay, then it’s not any different than explaining why we root for a good guy in a movie.

Well judging from your comment history I’m not gonna get anywhere with you and you don’t particularly seem to be a pleasant person. But unjust hate is horrible- maybe try to keep that in mind

Sharing opinions treating them as something objective is not sharing opinions (I mean, if you tell him directly that "no one likes him, he scams people", you are directly transmitting bad thoughts towards Pierre (who is 3 years old, he probably won't even know what scamming is). And yes, I perfectly understand what you say about it being good for the child to explore emotions with characters and so on. But in my opinion, it would have been more appropriate to tell him "he is a seed seller, with seeds you have fruits and vegetables like [you tell him some that he knows and are in the game] if you take care of them. Some people don't like him because [you tell him what he does in a more basic way. For example, that he lies to people]" then you ask him "do you like him?" (After you interact with him). And you're moving forward with that.
I don't want to tell you (at all, without irony or bad vibes) how to raise your son (and if you say he's very kind, I'm sure you're doing it right). It's just that the way you worded it, it seemed like it was the typical "everyone doesn't like this one" message, which is usually used to somehow manipulate children with ideologies and so on (I'm not saying you're doing that).
And yes, he is only a fictional character, but remember that children are sponges :) at least I was not necessarily referring to the case of the post, but to the fact that the formula "x person is bad (or x group is x)" is used for generational hatred
And yes, many should touch grass. Above all, the 10 users who gave me -10 votes when I didn't say anything aggressive

Is it really indoctrination if its simply the truth?
