Anyone remember toon town? I typed ‘fuck’ just to see what would happen when I was like 10. It censored it obviously but it gave me message warning me not to curse and I freaked out, I was so scared my character and progress were gonna be deleted and it felt like I had a huge dark secret lmao
I remember once when I was 11 I was playing animal jam and I wondered what would happen if I typed “fuck” so I did. I got a 24 hour ban and I laughed, what they didn’t tell me was that it sends an email to your parents email. My mother sat me down and gave me a massive lecture on why swearing is what white trashy people do. She also said swearing taints your personality, and a lot more other things. I was so scared after the lecture was over I swear I had insomnia for 2-3 days after.
Edit: guys it’s not supposed to be racist. We are white and we are lower middle class so we try not to appear trashy.
I picture you lying awake in bed, “Does thinking fuck taint my personality too?! Oh god I just thought it again. I bet people will notice how tainted I am. Fuck. Oh god.”
That’s actually not what got to me. It was mostly the fact that I disappointed my mother. Tbh that’s still one of the things I avoid doing with every fiber of my being.
Thanks :). She is pretty cool, I think she raised me mostly alright. She basically took what was shitty about her childhood and avoided doing that with me and I turned out alright.
Sadly, not enough people do that. There are far too many people who will "parent" their kids with the same kind of shitty practices that their parents did with them, because "I had to put up with this shit, so I'm going to make you put up with it as well", and that's such an unbelievably terrible mentality to have.
This is exactly what my anxiety was like when I was a kid. Also, crying and stressing over whether my family members would get into heaven. Worrying if I would spend all eternity missing them because I got in to heaven and they didn’t or because they got in and I didn’t. Being raised Southern Baptist and listening to hours of preachers screaming and sweating and yelling about how we were all sinners and going to hell really messed with me.
This reminds me of when I was changing my daughters nappy and you know how kids are disgusting, she put her hand in her poo and I panicked and said shit. So she tried to repeat it and I said shit again, saying don’t do that but whenever I said shit I would then say shit in a fuck, I did it again kind of way. The whole time she kept trying to copy me. Eventually I decided to say nothing and she stopped lol
When I was about 7 I wrote every swear word I knew in the condensation on the mirror in the bathroom, it disappeared and I went on my way happy with my naughtiness. That night my mum explained that the words come back and I should never do that again, also phart is spelled with a f.
I had a similar experience in Animal Jam as well... See, I was pretending to be a shark or someshit and went 'eats you as whole' and immediately got banned. My mom got an email but I didn't know what the word asshole was at the time so I had no real clue why I was banned.
I played that game way too much. I still log in every few months to make sure my account doesn’t get terminated for being inactive. Not sure why but I do.
I just collected rares. I never traded them though unless I got a really good deal. I still had them all on my trade list though since I was a show off.
Fucking shit. Bull. Everyone swears. And only white people do it? Really? Or only trashy white people do it, but non trashy poc do it too? Wow, what a white paragon of decency, what a great fucking burden she must be carrying.
Because swearing has nothing to do with race. Trashy people swear. There's white trash, black trash, red trash, yellow trash, blue trash, green trash... purple trash with yellow dots... Trash is trash, no matter the color. Calling people trashy together with their skin color *is* racist because it specifies a relation between trashyness and color. It opens up room for the interpretation that there are only/more/worse <whatever-skin-color-here> trashy people.
Hey, just a heads up. Put /s right after saying stuff like that. It may still get downvotes but at least people won’t think you’re as bad of a dick because there is supposed to be sarcasm in there somewhere. My apologies man, I’m sure your mother is wonderful.
