Huge parenting failure. Getting a kid an animal without teaching them the respect needed. I was so careful with my pets as a kid because I respected them as living creatures and I understood how big and scary a human can be.

    This is the most fediverse response I could have expected.

    Hey everyone, this person is super moral.

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with having strong morality. I think it's perfectly acceptable discourse.

    You had to go and make things weird.

    It's just par for the course on lemmy/the fediverse. Keep an eye for common conversations featuring, "I think your comment proving your morality isn't enough, here's how you could be even more!"

    Idk why this place isl Ike this. Every damn comment section.

    The story is definitely not real.

    Responding to the story as if anyone actually believes this is an acceptable thing to do is moral grandstanding. No one is impressed that you think this is a bad thing. Everyone already knows this.

    Why wouldnt it be real? Plenty of kids do this kind of "playing" with animals ask people how many pets they had as a kid.

    Maybe most people here think its bad but in general people dont see it as a failure of the parent. I can see how you would think its grandstanding and it wasnt my intention. I was just trying to give a sane reply to a cruel post.

    Some parents fail in moments, fact of life. No point arguing with it. You're telling me it's shocking that a kid who goes to 4chan has parents who slip up? I'm shocked. This is my shocked face: O.O Whaa? Parents of a kid who goes on 4chan makes... mistakes? Incredible. I would have never believed it true!
