This is fine. Let a generation grow up knowing what war really is.
There are ways to teach and prevent the atrocities of war, without subjecting someone to those atrocities first or second hand.
The world needs fewer folks with PTSD, thanks. Not more.
This sort of content is also not good for folks with PTSD either. Personally, I have to spend quite a bit of effort avoiding it if I want to continue to consume online content when things flare up in the world.
I agree, and hope my prior post didn't indicate otherwise.
I am very much advocating from a point of PTSD understanding, and prevention.
20 some odd years ago, stupid naive me didn't turn off one of those post 911 beheading videos. Even just typing that out puts me on the edge still.
Oh I didn't mean to insinuate that you didn't, I was just trying to support what you said with more context too.
This has been a huge propaganda campaign and it's disgusting.
Being informed about war? Sure, but
This is not something you want to be exposed to, especially in your developmental years. As someone who grew up with unfiltered internet access looking at these things, take this seriously and protect your children.
This divorces it from context. There is no point showing children context-free images of atrocities except to terrify them. Even within context, it's really not the best thing to show children under a certain age. My family is Jewish and my father lived through WWII in Britain waiting to be invaded and thrown into a concentration camp, so he made sure I saw Holocaust images when I was pretty young and I can't look at images of atrocities anymore because they disturb me too much and give me vivid nightmares. I even have trouble with horror movies. I basically avoid them. That's not how you let a child know what war is or what genocide is.
It'd be a damn shame if your kids saw what the world you brought them into is like.
I’m at “the cycle of abuse stops with me”.
Well, has that historically worked?
