Its not the parents fault, its just how its going.
As a kid I wanted pokemon cards, because all the other kids had pokemon cards and were showing off how many pokemon cards they had and it was on TV that you GOTTA CATCH EM ALL and the cool kid had a shiny raichu and I was a loser because I didnt have one so I really wanted one so I needed pokemon cards.
It didnt mean my parents failed me. It means toy manufacturers have all but weaponised marketing/propaganda and children are especially susceptible.
In my example, replace shiny raichu card with Peter Griffin skin.
yeah. it’s like saying you shouldn’t give you kid a smart phone.
you will basically destroy their social development because literally every kid has one. and the worst thing for a kid is to be socially excluded. children desperately crave peer acceptance.

When exactly does it switch over to be weaponized? What is the line?
South Park pretty much nailed it in the chinpokomon episode
