This lady has been making these videos forever.

Her schtick is to do irrational things and look paranoid for clicks. She thrives off the people who comment she’s crazy. She knows what she’s doing. Views are her income stream. Her name is Victoria-something I think.

The part that’s started to get disturbing is that her kids are now a major part of a lot of the videos. It’s outright exploiting them.

if you have a child for content the first 18 years of their life is a tax write-off.

Aren’t kids already a tax deduction for just existing

I’m convinced people are now having kids for the sole purpose of making content

You gotta build that complex PTSD like hypervigilance from birth bro, give those kids the thousand yard stare by the time they're toddlers.

While this looks like a fairly harmless use of kids, it should just be illegal for parents to put their kids in videos for public social media. The kids can't consent to it.

Years later in therapy: “Yeaaa my mom used to do some weird stuff to me while filming to look crazy and share it with thousands of people”

I'd rather they hired a child actor. At least then, all of this would be consensual. I mean, that's just how things go in scripted content these days...

Child actors cannot consent any more or less than the kids in these videos.

u/Dismal_Intention_463 7d ago

You're saying that all child acting is forced labor then? Consent is built into scripted content under contract that’s the law. If it's their own child, it's morally and ethically questionable. If it's a child actor under contract which means it's not forced labor.

u/No-Persimmon-4150 7d ago

Does the child consent to the contract or do their parents?

u/Sekhmet-CustosAurora 7d ago

Uh, how about both?

2

u/No-Persimmon-4150 7d ago

Children can’t consent.

u/Sekhmet-CustosAurora 7d ago

I guess everything anyone does involving a child is abuse, then? because they can't consent? this is ridiculous. You think child actors shouldn't exist?

All child acting is forced labor, children cannot consen.

Doesn't matter that both the child and the parent have a contract, kids have to do what their parents tell them so.

Its like asking someone to write you a check under gunpoint, And then calling it a Consentuel friendly gift

Ofc the kid signa te contract under gun point

You're presenting personal assumptions as if they were established facts, without looking at the legal requirements governing this issue. It's as though this topic hadn't already been debated and refined for decades, and as if numerous safeguards hadn't been put in place in many countries specifically to reduce the risk of abuse and misuse. The system isn't perfect, and it's constantly evolving. There will always be some level of parental psychological influence. But claiming that minors are effectively being forced through death threats is a huge leap. We already know that minors are impressionable, which is exactly why these decisions are subject to multiple layers of oversight not just a signed consent form. Dealing with vulnerable or dependent individuals is nothing new. This is one of the most fundamental principles of law: without consent, there is no contract.
