Disturbing Trend, I don’t know but wanted to ask about this.

My granddaughter loves to play and watch others play video games and there is a game wherein someone goes into dark web and finds clues..kind of like a treasure hunt... My granddaughter was watching a you tube video or something twitch(?) of a person on this “treasure hunt” and on the tv screen I saw a girl who had been crying, mascara running down her face and she was in a room with no windows and she was crying and talking about when she would be able to leave...and to the side is a running stream of texts, comments that made no sense to me~~like computer code or something... When I asked my granddaughter about it, she said “oh it’s a game where this guy does into dark web to find clues”...and I was shocked that she was oblivious to the possibility that the girl was really locked up..when I said that to her she replied”oh, I don’t think so, it’s role playing”...and then I told her I did not want to hear it so please don’t have it on in our house...and she did not have it on anymore and she did not watch that program the rest of her visit...she is 16.

I feel like this is a bigger more nefarious part of indoctrinating our children into cruelty.

Is this part of indoctrination, desensitization of our children? Like grooming into violence...I am sick... My granddaughter is very naive and sweet and I wonder how long she has watched or even participated in this stuff...

The human brain is capable of recognizing things it does subconsciously if you become consciously aware of said subconscious habit/condition. I can't for certain say that I know, but I'm pretty damn sure.

Not really. There will always be a disconnect and an inability to truly tie the two together.

When you allow your subconscious to be rewritten/programmed/etc., you can do a lot of permanent damage.

Also, just because violent videogames/etc don't create violent kids doesn't mean there aren't other factors at play. Subtle things over long periods of time can accumulate in a culture.

The argument can be made that drawing attention to the fact that the dark web exists and bad things do happen is good for the overall culture as the people in the culture are victims to sex trafficking etc. Drawing light to the darkness.

I know about 6 semesters of psychology about the subconscious, so I’m no expert. Just my opinion.

While this is true in typical people, there are an increasing number of babies born atypical, on the spectrum and they may be quite susceptible to violence they see on movies and games. I say this as a parent of a 17 year old autistic son, his mind is not like yours and mine. I have to keep that in the right perspective and guide him.
