It teaches them that certain things - ones that would seem, to someone who isn't being conditioned, to be a conscious, cruel, unnecessary decision - are, in their family, a normal involuntary natural response. To that kid, the parent's lack of acknowledgement teaches them that your mom ruining something you care about is the automatic response to exhibiting femininity, like how you learn that if you leave something on the stove the smoke alarm will go off, or if you scare someone who is holding something heavy then they might jump and drop it.

VivianSpawn so sad if they let their kids act how they wanted they'd grow up into confident and strong young men instead of ashamed and overcompensating
thats stupid you dont have to be masculine to be strong is what i would say but masculinity is normally attributed to strength by the defenition but feminine kids can also be strong in the same way although not as common so grouping em together and saying they cant be strong is dumb. Furthermore her use of strong young men seemed to mean strong personality wise as in confident self-assured and all around secure people and this does not negate the feminine boys as in this way they can also be just as strong as masculine boys and it is foolish to think otherwise or say that they arent strong but something else because they can be strong and might be strong for all we know.

Like much of the Onion's work, it's based in reality. This is taking a common behavior done amongst traditional parents and putting in this more modern context of a morning show. The result is humorous. I got a little bit of this as a kid, being an effeminate boy; so it's certainly a parody of real life. Once, my father tired to make me switch beds with someone at a summer camp because my bed had pink sheets. Hopefully, it will help some parents realize how silly they are being.

Straight and up and down
haha im gay & this brought back memories. i'm glad my parents didn't see this when i was growing up because they would have actually used this stuff lol. I think if you force your kid to be something they dont want to be its cruel on your part & they won't thank you & some might hate you. I can't help but to point out that it is PERFECTLY FINE for a girl to be a tom-boy but god forbid a boy showing even the slightest act of his feminine side. If kids are gay from the start you cant change them!!
How does a child show a sex drive when he or she doesn't have one yet?
@@scottdoesntmatter4409 who said anything about sex drive???
@@burneyarts That's how you know who you are sexually attracted to. That's called "logic", try to keep up.
@@scottdoesntmatter4409 they’re talking about not suppressing more “feminine” forms of expression.
@@burneyarts but note, that's not what andy c is talking about. You can't be "gay from the start".
"Tell your son not to talk to strangers, especially about his gymnastics class."
Could actually be okay advice for this age group.
The sad thing is some people actually think this way
They do just look at the comments... and they're stupid enough to think this video supports them too!
Even more sad is some of us actually lived it.
The soldier costume isn't really helping Travis. 😄
This is Travis say hello Travis!
Travis: Hello Travis ;)
lmao
As a young gay boy embarking on his first halloween outing, I insisted that I wanted to be a witch, and I got my way. This hits home, lmao.
What the robot kid says is the best, it sounds candid rather than scripted.
It's kind of scary how accurate this is, to modern day conservative madness
bold of you to assume conservative moral panic is new
I'm gay and nearly fell out of my chair laughing during this :D
“Hello Travis”
"Travis has a gun and a threatening knife..." LOL
Watching this is a Halloween tradition!
Bro this is unironically what conservatives do nowadays. It’s not even satire
Hence the satire
@@quantumblauthor7300 I don’t think you know the definition of satire
It's like a Mom's for Liberty video for people who follow them.
Would it also be ok for the onion to use the r slur in one of their satirical videos? They used the r slur in this video
@@Dolphinboi
What does R stand for? Joe Rogan? Cause That guy's pretty dumb!
That last line aged like fine wine
I nearly screamed laughing when the gay vampire kids came you ans said "Blaaahh" in the most feminine way.
"Try to avoid a costume that has been co-opted by the gay community fireman, policeman et cetera otherwise he'll end up just looking like a stripper" HAHAHAHA! Best delivery ever!
I’m a big ol’ bear
again, aged like wine
"Keep your son's hands occupied so he can't clap and squeal."
Ugh I wish my parents would have seen this when I was a kid. My candy was stolen from me every year until I learned how to fight back after my 24th birthday.
It did
Lol
Wait. What?
