Search Results: talking to an old friend

A few months back my stepdad was a little pissed off that a YouTube or TikTok video mentioned something about a "bisexual" woman, a video my brother watched — who turned 10 the month after that incident.

Now my stepdad is pretty chill with the LGBT talk, but he may still object.

Today my half-brother, who is 10, was discussing with his dad (my stepdad) about a documentary where a 10-year-old had an imaginary friend named Hitler. My stepdad objected, "What the hell are you watching?"

We were consistently talking about vaccine boosters, WW2 and WW3, and my stepdad stated that America fought Germany while befriending France.

I was stating to my stepdad that I wasn't going to get the booster, and he asked me why not, and I told him I don't know how it will affect me. My stepdad tried so hard to advise me not to say anything if I don't know about it. I told him I read on Twitter that many vaccines are tested on animals and that's why people aren't taking it.

My stepdad said something along the lines of, "They're afraid, they're talking out of their ass." Which is highly hypocritical, this was the minute after he told my brother to stop using the word "shit."

This makes me feel like my stepdad is telling me that I should only believe what the media tells me and not think for myself. He didn't use to believe in most of mainstream media YEARS ago. I don't know what changed him.

He voted for Trump, but he doesn't act like a Trump supporter at all which is the funny part about him. Most Trump voters I know are anti-vax-mandate people. I voted for Trump too and I don't think EVERYONE should have to get vaccinated.

Anyway regarding the Jojo Rabbit documentary, my brother was going to watch it on Netflix and his dad told him he doesn't "want him watching that kind of stuff." That is what worries me a bit.

Is it really that bad to teach your kids about the Holocaust and satire? I know most parents of 10yo's would take their kids to see JR.
