there does seem to be an ecosystem of children’s books and entertainment that transitions to young adult books/entertainment and for the offspring of the upper middle class and better that sheltered, comfortable reality where things are mostly safe, where everything exists to teach you a positive life lesson, might as well be the reality you live in until your parents privilege buys for you an affluent adulthood I didn’t exactly grow up on the streets or anything but the transition to adult reality out of the metaphorical womb that is suggested to exist by educational entertainment I’d been exposed to hit a bit harder than it did for some I knew growing up

vegetables posted:At least in 90s Britain there was also an ecosystem of harrowing children’s books which teach you the world is cruel and free of justice, which were the ones my parents would buy me. I had an opposite experience where a steady diet of naive well intentioned media taught me that the secret to success is doing the right thing and being a good person which will lead to positive results thanks to the power of friendship, followed by shipping me off to basic training now I post here too™️©️
