Comment on You Should Show Grave of the Fireflies to Your Kids

• YourPrivatHater@ani.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Nur zur Info, ich kann so einigermaßen deutsch.

  Anyway, Kinder- UND Hausmärchen means “Child story’s And “Hausmärchen” (idk how to translate that)”

  So there are Children AND Hausmärchen stories, those are two separate things and yes the reality of the time was way different. You wouldn’t read the original Rotkäppchen to any child below 16 there is a very graphic rape scene for example.

  Again, i think the problem lies in the definition of Child, i define child according to German law, so any human below 14, and i think 12+ would be a appropriate age for the movie grave of the Fireflies. But below that the mental development isn’t far enough. Its of course a individual thing, but “you should show grave of the Fireflies to your child” just isn’t a good general advice.

    The English title is ‘Children’s and household tales’. I was curious what ‘märchen’ meant, and it means ‘fairy tales’.

    Its of course a individual thing, but “you should show grave of the Fireflies to your child” just isn’t a good general advice.

    the keyword ‘individual’ parents should be able to judge rather or not they are capable of handling the themes of the media presented. Like, if their lose their shit to Littlefoot’s mother dying… than yeah no, they certainly won’t handle anything worse lol

      Ah thats what you meant.

      the keyword ‘individual’. parents should be able to judge rather or not they are capable of handling the themes of the media presented. Like, if their lose their shit to Littlefoot’s mother dying… than yeah no, they certainly won’t handle anything worse lol

      Sadly a load of parents aren’t able to do that, i know of many instances where parents showed children stuff like Rend and Stimpy because it was a cartoon but didn’t allow them to watch SpongeBob, so giving undifferentiated advice even if just in a headline isn’t a good thing, that is basically my whole point. And regarding such emotionally burdening things, it doesn’t hurt the kid not to watch it as soon as possible.
