This little girl is asking all the right questions. Riley, like many of us, doesn’t understand the need for toys to have gender separation. In my opinion, those pesky pink and blue aisles at toy and department stores only serve to segregate. She points out that the colors trick us into only buying princesses for girls and superheroes for boys. It pushes girls towards Barbies and boys towards model cars. She states it simply and honestly, “Some girls like superheroes, some girls like princesses. Some boys like superheroes, some boys like princesses.”
Why does everything need to be different colors? We wonder the same thing, kid.

Carl Douglas’ 3-year old daughter is about to learn a tough but adorable lesson about slaughtering innocent villagers when you don’t agree with them. Carl writes:
“Hello! This is actually my daughter in the video. While I do understand that games and violence out of context can be harmful to a child, we are a family of gamers, and the exposure to some imagery is inevitable (though unfortunate). We do our best to explain things to her and talk about what happens. She was in a moment of spotlight since we kept snickering at her saying “no” to the guy telling her that she had to leave – hence the escalating volume from each response to it – so we let it slide even though she knows better than to talk to people like that, haha. But when the adorably traumatic realization set in that the guards were responding to her “swording” by giving her “boo boos,” we did ask her what happened. She just sweetly responded “peoples don’t like swords, and we don’t want swords on the peoples” and she didn’t want to play anymore.
