it finally happened, my gf is pregnant and wants to keep the child. I don't really want to but whatever, I mostly don't want my kid to turn into a giant faggot. How do I make sure my kid isn't a gigantic Overwatch / Fortnite palying idiot?
I have played lots of Counter-strike and could probably teach him (only lesbians give birth to daughters so don't worry) the basics of aim and map awareness and shit.
I don't know, I'm just appalled at the current state of video games and am not sure how to protect my son from gacha / mtx / garbage mobile games that only want your money.
Do I fight it or is the next generation of gamers truly lost?
Let him play whatever he want and don't force him like a faggot You will know if you do it wrong by seeing your baby turning red
Aiden Jackson
have him read books and limit the television time, when he gets older help him build a computer, this is the only way to beat the gays
Ryan Richardson
the typical "christian" that posts in Zig Forums

if you don't want to then just leave her dumbass your kids gonna be pozzed as fuck when he gets olders thats just the way it is

I've seen the shit on reddit where people go "Here's my kid enjoying some REAL games" where idiots force their kids to play Mario 64 or whatever. I'm not gonna do that but at the same time it would suck for their entire view of video games being shit like Fortnite or whatever garbage like it will be popular in 10 years from now. I don't them to be left out in school either because I forbade him from playing that stuff either. Guess I can't win, the trannies and gays have truly won

I have no answer for the faggot part, but for the gacha thing, let the kid use an account with like 100 $/€ or whatever is your currencry and let him learn the hard way how it feel to fuck up and be "pennyless". Also don't talk money, "ok we can afford this" not instead, "you know what? you've been doing fine lately so i'll make an exception and buy this for you."

I would have preferred it to be a few years in the future at least, but I'm just gonna have to deal with the current circumstances. Not that bitter about it really I just wanted to wait.
Wyatt Butler
have fun spending half of your income to raise a niglet
Colton Foster
I forgot, tell the kid that account is for when he'll go to college or need to buy a car.
Mason Adams
FUCK OFF AND DIE YOU NORMIE FAGGOT THIS BOARD DOES NOT WELCOME YOUR KIND TONGUE MY WHOLE ASS HOLE
also congratulations.
Aiden Bailey
why do faggots like you exist, it is perfectly reasonable to try and get your own kid into your hobbies, and the best way to initiate anyone is when they're young

Honestly parents who try to restrict their kids on entertainment even if it is age appropriate tend to be the ones who fuck up their children in the long run. Your kid will probably have shit taste, but it's inevitable the older generation will have wildly different tastes than their kids. Trying to mold them into being an old world kid is just going to make them the weird kid that doesn't relate to others. The one exception is youtube, keep your kid the fuck off of that website until they are like 12. Every kid I know whose parents let them watch youtube is fucking damaged. They become legitimately addicted to the site and start trying to emulate people who should not be emulated. The anti-mtx stuff is simple though and should be taught-never give your kid access to your card and never buy MTX, and make it clear you never will. That's just teaching good finance and the value of voting with your dollars.

Why do girls draw this shit?

>you can indoctrinate children much easier when they're younger and more impressionable
Don't be a fag. Don't let the state and media raise him. Be a father first, and a friend second.
Thomas Johnson
You sound like a whiny faggot so there's a decent chance it isn't yours.
Samuel Jenkins
fitting in with the crowd is loser tier, be an outcast and a misfit, that's punk rock bitch
Thomas Stewart
Its actually really easy, just play games yourself. Kid is gonna want to play the game just because you are.
Hudson Rivera
Play with him in your spare time, or let him watch you play if he isnt old enough to do so.
Connor Torres
There's a difference between raising your kid to not be a normie and raising him to be the kid who chews on his shirt in class and becomes a virgin at 30.

>Don't force your tastes on him, for all you know he could grow up to love puzzle games or visual novels instead of FPSs. >Do however introduce him to older games early on to show that games aren't just modern 3D spectacles. You might not want to go farther back than 4th gen though, as the NES era stuff might be too abstract for a modern child. >Try tracking down a SNES Mini, it comes packed with a slew of classic vidya that a 5-8 year old could pick up and play fairly easily (SMW, Kirby Super Star, Donkey Kong Country, Super Castlevania IV, Mega Man X), and if they're old enough to read LTTP and Super Metroid should be serviceable. If you hack it you can also throw Super Mario All-Stars, the other DKCs/MMXs, Kirby's Dreamland 3, ActRaiser, Goof Troop, and any of the Mickey games on there. >If you do get him more modern consoles, limit his ability for online play. Get him more invested in single player vidya rather than online FPSs like Fortnite >If you're that afraid of gachashit don't get him a phone until he's in his teens. If that's not a feasibility, just use parental controls to limit his phone use to just the necessities like making calls or using it as a calculator
The real pro-gamer strategy to not get your kid into Hero FPSs/Gacha is to get him into model railroading instead
Both OW and Fortnite will be dead before that kid even understands how games work. But don't worry, there's going to something even cancerous that kids will play then!

There's a healthy middle ground between being a mindless drone that can't exist without the approval of others and being an autistic nerdling whose parents raised him like they came from another planet.
Eli Gomez
how fucking retarded do you have to be to ask por parenting advice on Zig Forums? what makes you think any idiot around here is a good parent?
Isaac Hughes
The best possible way to get your kid to play the shit you don't want them to play is to tell them you don't want them to play it. Seriously, I still remember being a kid and sneaking Quake II and UT99 by my parents because I wasn't supposed to play M rated games at the time, and I had a blast, it was fucking awesome, I simply went to my friend's house to play UT99 when my parents caught me doing it on my own PC. You clearly do not remember being a kid if you think that trying to force something on them won't have the opposite effect.
I think it's a duty of the parents to try and not let your children indulge in garbage, I hope you aren't going to be on of those people who gives their kids an iPad and leave it to the algorithm to give them a childhood.
Chase Hughes
Zig Forums usually has a good grasp on political ideas as well, it would make sense this translates to decent ideas about parenting as well. Parenting is political, after all.
Tyler Davis
there is nuance in all of this but perhaps people need everything spelled out for them butandare correct, play the things you like and they will naturally gravitate toward that
Carter James
redpill him about jews and niggers, the hate will guide him through the rest
