Simpsons just seems too milk toast.

It was more, "You're not quite old enough to *have* to deal with these things."

and this comes from my mother being legit one of the oldest true gamers (text games back in the 80s)

hmm

Mine were savvy.

my parents would look them over then jsut say looks fine I think he can handle it.

And, as said, the presentation was built on trust.

my folks are christian but honestly despite going to church every sunday they eventualy just gave me my mental breathing room.

Which was proved true time and again when we broke that trust.

Eh, fellowship is important.

And church is a vehicle for that connectedness.

But, I'm in no mood to proselytize to closed ears, so..

I'm not really one for church, but irl community events like that are good for mental health.

What was your fav MK char?

and then the fun began. when I was a teen I was hooked after a simpsons marathon (by then my overbearing mom and her side of the family had no way to stop me) and the way the schedual lined up I got 4 episodes a day followed by king of the hill and southpark at night.

Honestly, I think church i good for a lot of kids.

Or alternatively Scouts or something similar.

Which Church?

"Church"

Just church in general. Like the sense of community.

church put me off the religion forever. it works for some people but it would my former faith would have driven me to suicide sooner or later.

(As for why I preferred Sonya - she was kinda hot for a 2d side scrolling character to my 9ish year old self.. *and* my brother was obsessed with Cage's nutshot.)

And there are 3 characters in MK that are immune to it.

How naive

I had similar experiences, catholic school was way too aggressive and pushed me away for not being baptised. But I've met good preachers that focus on community activities, which is deeply needed these days it seems.

Cage, Sonya, and Goro.

i'm out of words .....

Alternatively, sports.

Or like, martial arts.

Anything where you have a community.

Religion usurps natural communities

I'd prefer discord servers be a place to build communities. like with everyone here.

Discord is great, but it's not the same as IRL friends.
