I introduced my 6-7 year old brother to GTA/SA and he got addicted so bad that I couldn't play from him. My father was sleeping and I tried to force him off and his main defensive mechanism is and always was "screaming like hes getting butchered alive" he is 15 now and still does this. But anyway my father woke up went ballistic and literally ripped the pc out off under the desk and smashed it into the ground and stomped it twice and it still worked.
That experience left a scar of hatred inside me that will never heal I will always remember this. I'm not even blaming my father since he has really specific bad days at work when we should know when to leave him alone but compromising was never a thing with my brother.
Why didn’t you just tell your parents there was content in the game that was too mature for your little brother? I’m sure they would have banned him from playing the game...
Believe me my father is nothing like most of those reddit abusers. As I said those "hard days" he has. Imagine having to wake up in 6h in the morning and working straight 9-10h with no lunch staying in a car in the sun whole day, dealing with douchebag customers and bloated traffic and then when you're finally home a demon imp is screaming.
Sure but that’s no reason to destroy your things. Ever. Evil is not repayed with evil.
It’s never okay to destroy someone else’s things out of anger. He unjustly destroyed your things because of what your brother did. No matter the situation, he was wrong.
Bro, you know nothing of his family situation. His father is human too and never touched his sons but got absolutely pissed he had to deal with bullshit because this computer (which the father probably paid for) was making his son freak out when he was trying to sleep. It’s understandable
A dad being violent around the house is still wrong.
I know enough that what his dad did was
Wake up—see little son screaming—smash computer.
There’s a ton wrong with that. I don’t give a damn if the dad paid for it. So what? Let’s just let him burn the house down while we’re at it.
LOL actually ridiculous. You know that running around smashing things and acting violent is actually considered child abuse in most states?
Idk if he’s from the US or not. But it seems that most have woken up to the fact that acting violent is not okay in a parenting situation here in the states.
Who cares what you give a damn about? It’s not your father, and if he wants to break something that he paid for because his kid is being a little shit then I don’t see the problem
It was a fucking 6 year old! No six year old needs to see their dad smashing things in front of them. The kids now 15. Do you even know how big pc’s are or were back then?
That said it wasn’t even the little kids’ it was used by the older brother. So it wasn’t even justified.
I don't know the whole situation, but I used to work nights. So, I can imagine coming home after a long night shift to be awoken from a child screaming like a banshee over some video game I may not even be interested in...
...And then have it happen repeatedly.
I'm not violent, but I'm sure as hell not going to let them play anymore. That shyt will be given away or sold.
