Old fag here.
Gamer videos are the cancer of the industry.
I keep confiscating my kids laptop and taking away his ps4 time, because all he does is watch these stupid fucking faggots spouting memes and screaming at fucking games.
It has gone to the point that we can't even have a nice little match of FIFA because he starts imitating those faggots and I have to kick him to his room and tell him to shut the fuck up.
Generation Z and the ones after are truly fucking stupid.
Thoughts?
>>345328320

those fuckers are ruining kids.
>>345328320
>not ironically talking like a streamer and spouting catchphrases and memes while you play
>>345328320
Whoa, what a badass.
How can I be a cool oldfag like you?
My wife's son does the same thing.
>>345328502
Literally this
>>345328529
You just have to stop being a faggot and wait till you have kids of your own.
Sounds like you are just a bad parent that keeps letting the internet raise your kids instead of taking care of them on your own. Take them fishing or some shit if you're so butthurt about internet memes.

Who is he watching and how old is he?
you sound fake af
>>345328886
Oh I do. I fucking bought him a fucking ATV and a guitar too but all he cares about is the meme spouting faggots on youtube.
I agree, it's fucking idiotic. I never understood how people can like watching others play, unless it's something like a highlight video or some tournament.
>>345329085
He's 10. There's this one faggot making happy wheels videos, this MASSIVE faggot making FIFA videos in Finnish and a bunch of other manchilds. I really don't know anything about them other than they obviously have a terrible influence on my son.
>>345328320
thats good parenting.
>>345328320
I relate 100% except instead of it being my kid it's my dumb gf, she plays league of legends and is constantly blurting out that streamer drivel. She's like 6 years younger than me so maybe it's to be expected but fuck, so cringeworthy and annoying, she's a loud bitch too.
Fun fact: I'm a novelist working on a book talking about how bad this is for our kids.
>>345328320
You're a parent posting on /v/.
>>345329524
Thank you so much for doing this.
I can't believe the stuff he says when he thinks I'm not listening.
>>345329603
yes.
>he starts imitating those faggots and I have to kick him to his room and tell him to shut the fuck up.
>>345329326
Now you know how your parents felt when you were playing and talking about vidya with your friends.
>>345329684
I hope if I talk about the issue in a way that normies can understand, that will pave the way for a real backlash.
I feel as if most parents feel the exact same way you do, they just don't understand what the problem is.
>>345329931
I still play and about 20 or so years ago we actually talked about games face to face while we played with our friends.
These days they just sit and watch faggots scream at games on the internet. Hell they don't even play! They just watch these faggots.
There is a massive difference.
I'm truly worried about kids these days.
They also seem to not realize that their audience is little kids. Some of the shit they say is unbelievable.
>>345330243
So don't let them. If I had children I wouldn't let them use the Internet more than a few hours a day. Show them better stuff to do.
>>345330650
I like when people with no kids and parenting experience give parenting tips.
I'm 20 and I find myself watching let's plays because life is pain and I have nothing better to do.
>>345330650
Such as?
>>345330789
Because they give better advice than your current method of letting the PC do all the parenting?
>>345330857
>I'm 20
you were 14 when pewdiepie first started. You are the perfect age to be a let's play infested faggot.
>>345330872
Playing games that aren't online is better already, all communities are fucking shit.
>>345330928
The PC is not doing the parenting here. The guy said he would give him few hours of internet time/day. That's fucking insane.
60 minutes is the max in this household and the moment I see he is watching these faggots, it ends instantly.
That's just an example of how clueless you people handing out parenting tips are.
I watch achievement hunter and funhaus, that's it, markiplier is a nice guy but his content is catered to kids (I'm 25) and he understands that so its a bit too young for me, I don't see the appeal to pewdiepie at all, but atleast he isn't too bad, he seems pretty chilled and down to earth especially when he talks about himself and fame and money.
Everything related to Roosterteeth is generally catered for a slightly older audience, to be fair they started over a decade ago so it's not surprising their content is more mature compared to some COD kiddie screaming at some no scoping or something.
Pretty much everybody else annoys the shit out of me, they will die away soon enough, it already is if you actually look at the views on some of the more mature content producers, kids will move on to something else in a couple years.
>>345331091
What he should do is go outside and play with his friends, not sit inside and rot away in front of a screen. At that age you need social interaction, otherwise he'll grow up to be an anti-social loser.
>>345331594
The thing is, probably all of his friends are inside too.
>>345329772
That's sad.
>>345328320
Lol you are fucking super autistic and should be brutally killed. You don't even have children. You're a weak motherfucker, a tool for 4chan.

Kick his fucking ass dude.
SSoH is the only Youtuber i could tolerate, what does /v/ think of him
>>345330243
Yeah, I don't understand the behavior either and I've been playing as long as you. I still play all the time and have no clue about the allure of watching others play.
Can't say I have any great advice about it, honestly. Just like you can't choose your parents, you can't choose your kids. They are born with a temperament and something of a personality that won't change too much. As long as he isn't hurting himself or others I'd say you're doing great man. Don't beat yourself up about shit you can't control.
Stay firm with your boundaries I say. If he wants to play with you then tell him you aren't about all that meme spouting shit. If he does it, say you're done. Kids aren't stupid and he'll figure it out. Then it's either he wants to play by the rules or just sit and watch and you can enjoy your games.
I dunno, man. Good luck.

It's the personalities, not the content. They could be playing video games or racing cars or fucking knitting, it's about the people. The game is just a conversation piece. It's no different from kids coming together to watch a TV show.
That said it's still advanced faggotry, and depending on the channel can be a horrible influence on kids.
I'd recommend blocking YouTube/Twitch, or at least slowing it to a crawl so that he'll give up on streaming video.
>>345328320
kids are dumb. either influence them yourself or the game streamer faggots will. which will it be?

>>345330243
I know what you mean. My idiot nephew lives with me and is crazy about Undertale. Not going to lie, I did both runs and enjoyed it. That was the end of it though. Him though? He knows everything about it and hadn't even played it. His username, e-mail, everything is Undertale related. Finally bought it for him on his birthday. Barely touched it.
Other shit like... he will talk (and mostly yell) to a YouTube audience no matter what he's doing. Playing Minecraft? Acting like a faggot YouTuber. WATCHING A YOUTUBER PLAYING A GAME AND YELLING? Same shit!
Now, if he were learning editing software, putting out videos, and actually trying, that would be different. Instead he is an angry little shit who can't handle difficulty in games or in life, who feels that he is constantly on a stage with tons of subscribers watching him.
He's beyond help. I'm not his parent but I still try to be a cool, yet intelligent uncle for him. No dice. I can't wait until the day reality crushes him.
>>345328320

Christ, I remember when nerdy hobbies used to teach you actual relevant stuff. Like I have a friend who got into aerospace engineering, who got into the field by fucking with Garry's Mod as a kid. And another who works at Amazon, started running and hosting his own Counter-Strike server at age 12. And another who's almost graduated with a CS degree, started learning computers to torrent and emulate games when he was like 8.
But this shit? What skills can you possibly learn from watching a man curse at video games on YouTube? It's all the bad things about growing up on the internet without any of the genuinely useful skills you pick up along the way.

Listen up faggot.
The moment when I woke up to the problem was when he was walking around the house with his phone and yapping about our fucking tv and shit.
He was fucking vlogging. Needless to say I took the phone and it's not coming back until he is 15 years old. He had his own channel and everything on youtube. Mainly videos of him walking around my property and talking shit.
Having personality is one thing, becoming a fucking internet loser at the age of 10 is another.
>>345333998
atleast he knows that undertale is garbage
>>345335119
Exactly.
>>345331163
Why are you so obssessed with the word faggot? I get this is /v/ but it's like you can't go two sentences without using it. If you start calling everyone a faggot when you get mad I can see why your kid has more respect for strangers on the internet than for you.
>>345335780
>stop liking popular stuff, i am a hipster faggot
kill yourself.
>>345336594
I'm Finnish. We don't use words like faggot around the house.
I'm also very drunk because the kids and the wife are visiting her grandma.
This is how dads party, we go to the internet and act tough.
>>345336594
Also I really don't have a better word to describe these losers.
You aren't a parent. You're a mid-20's loser who wants to feel superior to their peers. If you are a parent and you STILL browse /v/ then you have some other issues you need to fix.
>>345337389
>le good parent meme
Not him, but I don't see any problem with browsing a community on which you grew up. People IRL are utterly boring fucks anyway.
>>345336663
What would you have me do?
Let a 10 year old video my property and god knows what else to youtube and act like he is someone else?
>>345337389
I've always been here.
I don't come here as often as I used to for obvious reasons.
Why is it that people think that when you become a parent you have to drop everything and become someone else?
I wouldn't ask anything about parenting on /v/ since the board is full of underages and autists. Adequate people who were browsing it at the beginning grew up and left this shithole. But you're actually doing right, but IMO everything produced by mass media and Internet must not have any influence on people. So, teach your kid something handy and take away TV with its shitty shows, the Internet with its cancerous current state and most games. Help him develop a good taste and make him study. That's it. It's that simple. Don't worry about freely developing personality, it's utter leftist bullshit. People are organic mechs, it's easy to manipulate and shape them once you understand them through your own experience.

>grow up doing things that seem fun to you
>your parents think it is dumb, and wonder why you aren't doing the things they did as a kid

As bad as kids are today, it's pretty much a guarantee that it will get worse with each generation. It feels impossible to come up with something worse for kids to do in the future. Wtf could it end up being?
>>345328320
Good shit.I used to be one of those kids, now I'm just a quiet weeb. Play other games with my normie friends occasionally and all I hear is CashNasty, Ali-A and other big YouTubers. I don't get what's so cool about watching someone play a game when you can do that same shit yourself. Videos like Drift0r, where there is more in depth things, I can understand, but "LE MEME PACK OPPENING $100000 TRIPLE EPIC" is fucking annoying. I will never understand how I used to or anyone else stands it. Godspeed.
>>345340387
/v/ is a den of underage faggots who genuinely think growing up is about discarding everything you did, liked and who you were all to adhere to some ridiculous and outdated image of what a man is supposed to be like. No wonder so many become useless lonely neets, bitter about everything.

You may want to watch your mouth, considering you're asking for advice on fucking 4chan. Fucking retard.Just kidding. I know you don't have kids and this shit thread is a farce.
>>345340860
I tried playing guitar with him but he has the attention span of about 2 minutes, so he's never going to learn anything.
Same deal with the ATV, fun last 15 minutes and then he wants to go back inside.
Fishing is the only thing he really likes. I'm not that into fishing these days but we've been down to rivere for countless of hours. It's basicly the only time he isn't doing the p2p to the audience.
Hockey and soccer it's the p2p shit again.
He doesn't want to learn how to skate properly, he just wants to shoot the puck and throw mad cellies. Same thing with soccer, he just stands in the net and throws mad cellies for his YT fans.
>>345341452
by p2p I obviously meant pbp
>>345329438
>>345341378
That wasn't actually me and I do have kids and a life, despite 4chan.

Your own fault for not heavily monitoring your child's internet usage. I don't even let my kids watch tv or use the internet when I'm not around. They're not receiving any jewish racemixing brainwashing while I'm alive. While I'll certainly let them know these things exist, I'm not just going to roll over and let these concepts and the tv raise them.
>>345342119
I don't have a beef with pewdiepie because my kid doesn't watch him and for what I've heard, he keeps it clean, I still don't understand the appeal but whatever.
I know how you like to think this is a joke but it really isn't. I'm genuinely worried about my kid watching shit that makes him behave like he's someone else. Spouting memes, cursing in his own and other languages. These stupid motherfuckers need to realize their audience is little kids, I bet no one over the age of 12 even watches these videos.
God help me when he finds this place. I sure fucking hope he's older than 10.

He has one but he's not around much. His folks like to do that caravan shit, they're basicly away all summer and weekends.
He had another one too but I busted them smoking cigarettes, so he's not welcome. He had stolen them from his mom.
His neighbour warned me about the kid but I was just happy my kid was out spending time.
The rest of his friends are just like mine. Some much worse.

Absolute plebeian.
>>345335064
I agree. My idiot aunt bought her daughter a tablet, and I said "She's 4 years old. She can't even read yet. Why bother getting this for her?" Her response was, of course "She can play games on it, though!" Later on, the girl spent like 30 dollars in micro-transactions her brother used the tablet to look up porn, but even then, my aunt didn't learn. She just said "So, can you help me set up parental controls on this?"
Ironically enough, any legitimate attempt I've made at teaching this girl how to read is met with her family members saying stupid shit like "She's only 4, she can't figure this out yet!" and "She's too young to read a book like Yugioh!" even though it was literally written for children and only uses basic addition and subtraction when any math comes up at all.
>>345344576
Well i don't know bout the smoking thing. Can't really fault a kids curiosity on that seeing on how many adults do it.
As for the friend, might not be a role model, but at least he presents a different view in life. Variation in experiences is a fuel for growth.
But hey your kid is going out of the house that's a start.

It at least has a fucking plot and point to it beyond "let's do something stupid today"
>>345345351

Funny that you'd mention that. I tried teaching the porn watching cousin, a CoD addict, how to play Deus Ex and he thought it was too hard and boring. I could write it off as him being 12, but I showed another cousin of mine that was around 15 the same game and he lost interest and walked away before I could even boot it up for him. He looked really bored when I said "It's a game where you uncover a government conspiracy and eliminate a virus" anyway, though.
I have a similar problem to you, OP. I am black, and my aunt lets her son watch all of idiotic "black culture" television channels since he was a young child and now he's acting like a retarded nigger. He smokes marijuana, gets into fight, and got a (Caucasian) girl pregnant at the age of 16. I warned them to not let him engage in such stupid activities when he was at an age where he's easy to influence (and very stupid) but they thought I was just trying to "prevent fun" or some such nonsense.
Hey remember when you were younger and did cringy stupid shit and your parents told you it was dumb. Then you grew up and grew out of all that cringy shit?
There's your answer.
>>345347714
I don't see how our problems are similar but thanks for contributing
t. OP
>>345348031
That's not the same thing, really. For one, my dad actually beat me when he saw me doing stupid stuff he didn't like. Two, in OP's example, it seems that the son is actually changing his personality and becoming a worse person because of his influence. It's the equivalent of letting small children watch a horror film. They're not going to understand it anyway, so they're just going to use it to repeat the new curse words they discovered from it. Sure, I really liked Pokemon when I was a kid and talked about it all the time, but I didn't think I was going to be a Pokemon master and go around yelling like an anime character, because my parents actually raised me to have tact, use an inside voice, and have an actual career goal in mind for the future.
>>345348031
We never did cringy shit like that.
We used to run around the village, stealing apples, shooting firecrackers at fucking sheeps.
Then we wen't somewhere to play NES or fishing.
We were out in the woods most of the times.
The kids these days are fucking useless.
>>345348137
Eh. I probably could have phrased it better. Anyway, I think our situations are similar in the sense that we have family members that are changing their personalities due to outside influences and becoming worse people because of it. You said your son wanted to become like those guys he saw on YouTube, right? The cousin I was referring to is doing the same thing, thinking can become a famous rapper just because he saw it on TV, rather than trying to get a real job.

But now kids will have the stupid shit they did recorded forever and it will negatively impact their chances of getting a job. My boss will never see me singing Never Gonna Give You Up (I didn't even really know English at the time) at my high school talent show because that was 15 years ago. If some kid does that now, it'll be the first thing his boss will see when he looks him up, especially since now kids attach their real name to everything and sites encourage this. Even the bad thing I did when I got the internet, such as griefing in Unreal Tournament, was done under a screen name and is gone forever. The Star Wars Kid is going to have that same stigma for the rest of his life, as will Rebecca Black.

You're right. Our problems are very similar.
Do you at least get your wife to monitor your son when you aren't at home, OP?
>>345328320
Are you joking or no? Because ponder this for a moment, your parents thought the shit you liked was fucking dumb too. Difference is some parents know that even though they fucking hate something and can't understand how ANYONE would like it they tolerate it and accept it. Your kids probably gonna end up shooting up a school or some shit. Not to mention, the more you condemn that shit the more enticing it becomes to them.
>>345349310
My wife is soft.
The minute I step out the door they run over her.
That's another huge problem.
All they have to do is bitch and moan for a while and then cry and she gives in. It's frustrating as fuck.

Are you fucking stupid?
Sure my dad didn't think much of Metallica and Sepultura but he loved Guns n' Roses.

I learned english from morrowind. I build my first own pc with 15 and with 17 i was building servers as a job over the the summer holidays.
My youngest 16 year old cousin can't even be bothered with installing a game unless it is one click in the app store. An options menu is too complicated for him to handle. He is playing games all his life.
>>345350002
I grew up with the same shit and sure there were some things my dad enjoyed with me and there were others he thought were fucking dumb. I found that the things he just dismissed and said "that's fucking dumb but whatever if you like it I guess" I usually would start agreeing that it was dumb. But if he flipped out and was like "no shut the fuck up, stop watching/playing/doing this" I started liking that shit way more. If you flip out about something kids are gonna think it's a big deal if you just dismiss it then they might too. And honestly what the fuck is so wrong with them watching people play games every now and then? It's no worse than them watching TV honestly. I mean sure if the kid did it all the time you'd be like, go do something else you're rotting your fucking brain, it's no different from TV when I was a kid. My dad would've rather me played a game than watch GI Joe for 3 hours or some shit.
>>345350434
>all parents are adults
>>345350349
What? How so? JQ is at least more tolerable than PewDiePie. You're not the kind of parent that will let your child watch every obnoxious, retarded tranny tumblr cartoon just because you're too lazy to monitor them or raise them, right? I can't see why I would ever let a hypothetical child of mine watch some retarded show full of memes and hip modern catchphrases just because it's popular. Would you really allow your child to watch a show that's, for example, just yelling for 20 minutes with bright flashes just because all the other kids are watching it?
>>345350582
You won't learn 20 variations of fuck at the age of 10 from GI Joe.
>>345350349
So parents SHOULD block their kids from watching cartoons, then. I mean, by what you're saying here, they'll end up on 4chan otherwise.
ITT: Shitty parents
My dad stopped me from indulging in every retarded fad the other kids were doing and I turned out fine. No idiots, your garbage pail kids and beanie babies will not be valuable in the future, so you should feel bad for begging your parents to give you money for something you'll throw away in a few weeks anyway.

>Watching let's plays is like smoking weed and watching people get tortured
Yeah fuck let's players, but honestly you know that's hyperbole. I mean if your kid just watches them and doesn't even play games themselves, that might be an issue. But I can't imagine it being that hard to tell them to play a videogame instead of watch. And if they're watching someone play a game they don't have that's a whole other story. People tend to watch things they enjoy and everyone watches something these days whether it's TV or youtube videos.
And who the fuck would get mad at their kid for memeing? You probably did that shit as a kid too, except back then it was just called pop culture. Your parents thought your jokes were fucking shit too. But you don't fucking lash out at a kid for being unfunny.
>>345351453
What if I told you that my dad likes Star Blazers and Battle of the Planets? He managed to find a wife anyway.
>>345329438

>>345351728
I didn't spout shitty pop culture phrases as a child since I'm not autistic, but my sister did and they actually did get on her for it. Do you have ultra liberal hippie democrat parents or something? If the kid says something stupid, of course they're going to tell him to stop saying it.
>mfw i used to watch let'splays

>>345352054
If my dad watched Star Blazers, that would put him in his 40s at least, right? I can't be as young as you're thinking.
NONE OF YOU ARE FUCKING PARENTS.
YOU ARE TEENAGERS WHO ARE IN THEIR MID-20'S AND WANT TO FEEL SUPERIOR TO YOUR PEERS.
And even if you are being serious, you are picking cherries. Everyone likes stupid stuff when they are kids. And don't give me that "well it's changing their personality" excuse. Everything you do in life will change your personality. You are literally picking cherries because you want to be edgy. Fuck off.
>>345351005
If the issue is that he's learning curse words, then that's something else entirely. It's up to you to tell him that cussing is a crutch for idiots with limited vocabulary and that it makes him sound dumb. Because regardless of where he hears the cussing from, he's gonna hear it and repeat it because he knows it's a forbidden word. You can't censor all sources of cussing, especially because that just makes it seem that much more forbidden and secret and mysterious.

Not true fucker.
Im 21 and Youtube started in 2005 and didnt really pick up heat until 2010. I used youtube to listen to music and search "funny shit" and watch AMVs.
Lets play faggots didnt become a thing until "gaming culture" picked up which WAS NOT when I was 12-16.
AT MOST a lot of my friends played CoD:MW2 and thats when all of the "Hardcore online KILL CAMS: Top 10" buyllshit starting sparking.
Its scary because the gap in "Generations" I feel shouldnt be this "close" if that makes since.
Like, Im 21.
I shouldnt be late 30's angry about all of this "Kids these days" bullshit. Though every passing day the thick line between "Le 90's kids" and "Fucking Millennials" becomes clearer and more noticeable.
>>345345737
Again, this isn't true.
Why do you say things that aren't true anon?
Do you make your kids watch evangelion since all you know is fucking anime?
>forced to babysit niece
>ask her if she wants to play outside
>she says "No, let's watch TV!"
>We sit through 20 minutes of terribly pronounced Spanish and incorrect usage of the words in Dora the Explorer
>we sit through 20 minutes of badly pronounced Japanese in Youkai Watch's English dub
>we sit through 20 minutes of awful acting in whatever shit disney's child actors are doing now
Holy shit, children's media is awful most of the time. I'm sure glad I never had kids, as you people are making it sound like I just have to roll over and accept every dumb thing my kids want to watch.
>>345351005
>So parents SHOULD block their kids from watching cartoons, then. I mean, by what you're saying here, they'll end up on 4chan otherwise.
That's not what I was saying at all.
>>345351978
Telling your kid to not be annoying and to stop doing something is different from telling your kid to shut the fuck up and go to their room for being unfunny.
My parents would usually fake chuckle or smile whenever I told a bad joke or used some pop culture phrase. Again, most kids aren't funny, but they want to make their parents laugh and accept them. You should leave the bullying to their classmates.
>>345352983

No but telling your kid to shut the fuck up and go to their room kinda is especially when they're only offense was telling a bad joke. If they like cursed or something sure, but if you're telling them to shut the fuck up then I doubt cussing is really an issue. That or you're a hypocrite

>>345354147
Who said anything about telling kids to shut the fuck up? I never mentioned them cursing at me at any point. They just told my sister that the subject matter she brought up really wasn't that funny since they she asked them why they weren't laughing in a convincing way.
>>345354147

>>345354743
Take the kid out camping. No TV, no youtube. Only things to do for fun are to fish, use the ATV, and maybe fuck around learning guitar by a campfire. You don't just buy them toys and set them down in front of them you insufferable faggot. Your son gave up on the ATV after 15 minutes, but you gave up on your fucking son after 15 minutes. You keep fucking trying, because this is fucking important. If you're not interested in putting in the work, than just fucking kill yourself. Your son will be better off unearthing his manhood with his own two hands than with a fucking quitter like you
>>345355380
People are born with the kind of personality for that, yes. It's like those kids that go on murdering sprees. They had mental issues to begin with. Adam Lanza, Eliot Roger, and Seung-Hui Cho, if raised "properly" would have likely ended up in the military and going on an insane, violent rampage against muzzies, then branded as heroes. Instead, they blew their loads early at home and are now seen as evil, crazy monsters.

I've done everything for these boys and this one in particular.
What the fuck am I supposed to do if he doesn't want to play guitar? Every time I pulled out my guitar he was all crazy to get to try it. Then I bought him his own guitar and suddenly he doesn't give a shit about guitars.
I feel like he just wants to push my buttons and it's really working.

There's a difference between letting your kid do what he wants for 1 or 2 hours a day (so long as their other obligations are handled) and telling your kid they can just do whatever the fuck they want all day. Holy fuck you guys are like robots or some shit, it's either the kid lives in anarchy or the kid lives in a prison. Anything balanced in between the two just doesn't fucking compute I guess.
