I gotta be real, the article like... Basically had nothing to say other than "girls hot." I had actually hoped there might be curious analysis or discussion, but then I saw it was J-List after clicking and stayed to see how bad it was. oof!

The second paragraph literally discusses creating a self care plan surrounding watching the movie. It links out to several studies by child psychologists and articles discussing watching scary/sad media with kids and how to do so. It shows examples of how kids are interacting with stories like this safely. It recommends showing kids things like this in safe environments so they don't suddenly come to you broken and scared when horrors are thrust upon them when they are alone or unsupervised.

As a kid, I was "trolled" with fake links that sent me to beheading videos online. Tons of folks I know watched 9/11 happen live in their classrooms. Hell, the post talks about how pictures and videos from Gaza keep showing up on feeds on Instagram and TikTok. The whole point is parents should do that work and teach kids these skills and that it's okay to ask for help if they run into an emotional brick wall BEFORE they hit the brick wall.

But this is why ya shouldn't skim! Read deeply! (P.S. I wrote the post, I'm also literally a parent. If that matters to you.)

Me too, but I rarely see regret for having seen it the one time they did.

Perhaps I had a better experience with the article with my adblocker on, there were more pictures in the article too when I saw it on desktop.

 

What's extra cool is that you can get Hoopla through most local libraries for FREE. Support the library AND see good anime? Cool stuff!

This is so sweet of you to share my work like this, thank you! I'm also pretty excited for Season 2 of Tonbo! as it was a surprisingly touching tale emotionally, even with all the technical golf talk.
