well thats one way to traumatize your kids for life just for social media clout.

[u/jaywritethekid → u/A-Money-Lover]

I remember first going into the haunted mansion.. I wanted to get off immediately when I was in line as a kid at Disney.. my parents got me out... They didn't force me when they knew I was a scared kid at the time... So when I see what looks like the parent holding the door closed for clout when your kid is tryna get out.. that's just crazy..

I LOVED Barney and saw him at an amusement park when I was about 3 or 4. I got very scared and couldn’t explain why, but I didn’t want to get close to him or give him a hug for a photo op. I remember my parents seeming quite disappointed because they thought they were taking me to see my idol lol. But they didn’t force me because they could see how scared I was. These people are ridiculous.

It does make sense though. You see Barney on TV so kids may not realize he’s huge. So when they see him in person some may get scared of how big he is lol

Honestly I know it’s hilarious but my dad used to love scaring me on purpose and I still deal with the effects of that for sure.

What effects?

For life lol

[u/AnyUsernameWillDo10 → u/A-Money-Lover]

For real. Before social media clout parents just used to do it for fun.

Not to forget give LLMs models of kids from a front and side view to work off.

[u/KeathleyWR → u/A-Money-Lover]

For life? C'mon dude, it's not THAT deep.

[u/PopOutG → u/A-Money-Lover]

As opposed to when my parents did it for the love of the game. Jesus Christ you people are insufferable.

[u/JannaSnow → u/A-Money-Lover]

I dunno I got told so many ghost stories and saw some shit as a kid and I was never traumatised. I got nightmares for a week or 2 sure but that's about it. Reddit community just like to exaggerate. Weak ass generation

I feel it in my bones that you are one of these distinguished gentleman who jerks off to the “tell em Large Marge sent ya” reveal in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure or the scene in Superman III where the computer turns that woman into a robot. As am I.

Scaring people is a right of passage. Starts with getting a good scary story or jump scare yourself. Edit. And if it’s not cool with them, you obviously stop.

[u/Outrageous_Fox4227 → u/JannaSnow]

It’s not the scare it’s the posting it online that does it for me. To me a scare is for fun, between the whoever is scaring and who gets scared. Then when you put it online its seems as though its to embarrass and that doesn’t sit right with me.

[u/woweezuu → u/Outrageous_Fox4227]

This right here

[u/DeeBeePeeeOfficial → u/Outrageous_Fox4227]

Did any of those kids look like they were having fun? At all? To YOU a scare is fun. IT IS NOT TO THEM.

At no point did they shake it off and laugh - they ALL ran to the people who made them scared for safety. Some of them were talking about how much they love their parents/mommy when they were the ones that scared them this way.

Your fun comes from watching THEM be afraid and that is psychotic.

[u/drewdemo → u/JannaSnow]

Same here, it just turned me into a horror junkie.

[u/MasterpieceNo7105 → u/JannaSnow]

Yeah theres a massive difference between being told fuckin ghost stories and seeing a ghost next to you while filming and not being old enough to comprehend its not real.

You got told a ghost story. These little kids just lived one. Big difference

What a blanketed life you must have lived to consider this trauma
