she's literally bragging about how she made her children miserable.

This woman is really coming after someone who is probably 20 years younger than her. She’s literally showing that she’s off the deep end saying her kids are throwing tantrums because of the video games she doesn’t even let them play.

Cops interviewing mass shooter Cops: what was your childhood like Shooter: I was bullied a lot constantly abused and beaten Cops: anything else? Shooter: I played a bit of Pac-Man when I was 3 Media: *Ladies and gentlemen, we got ‘em*

I like how optimus has more common sense than a mother of 4

She is so insecure about her parenting that she literally tried to say you're defending school shootings, some people are so disconnected from reality that it's ridiculous.

I think something that the mother missed is the difference between "knowing how to parent" and "knowing the responsibilities that most parents should have"

The woman is saying that she can't control her kids and that she doesn't have enough brain power to make a schedule/routine

As a school shooting survivor, parents like these are an insult. There are kids out there with real mental issues that need professional help and to use video games as a scape goat instead of looking at the real problems here is disgusting. The origin of some of these problems being the parents themselves such as abandonment and abuse or even not doing a great job at parenting in general. If any thing video games are a way to halt these shootings as a way to escape the cruel world that we live in. Am I saying video games should be someone’s therapist? No, but at least it is better than nothing. Video games have helped me as well as others relax and just escape. I played them to help me get through what happened at my school.

“This Optimus guy called this person a bad parent and I fit the criteria of a bad parent! I am angry that I was made self aware that I am a bad parent and will now email him. That’ll show him!”- this Karen, probably

Karen: *emails angry email* Optimus: YOU HAVE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD

“Have you been stomped on by a t-rex?” “No.” “SO DONT TALK ABOUT DINOSAURS!!!”

“They can’t control the time they are on the Xbox” Then pull the freaking plug! That’s what my parents do it’s not that freaking hard!!!

Those kids will be talking about their childhood like soldiers talking about their vietnam ptsd.

She doesn't realise, that by restricting them to that degree, she's gonna cause them to rebel af when they become older. Hope she's looking forward to that.

Ah yes, because little Timmy lost a green mushroom in Mario, he shot up the school

So basically, she proved optimus' point by saying that she's weak-willed and unable to raise her kids and she only sent this email because she knows she has failed as a parent and she's basically salty. I hope she sees this comment and the other two thousand comments that basically say: "You have failed as a parent and you're part of the reason why parents nowadays have such a bad reputation."

Shootings: exist Karens: *videogames*

Alternative title: "Woman Proves Optimus's Point for Thirteen Minutes"

Here’s my experience with videogames and my parents growing up. My mom didn’t mind videogames as long as I did my chores and homework. My father didn’t like them at all. He too said they would make me violent. (The only videogame I ever wanted to play when I was a kid was the original StarWars battle front 2 game) for every 30 minutes of play videogames, my father would make me practice hours of instruments. When I had friends over, we weren’t allowed to go outside or play videogames. He would make us sit down and play instruments. I stopped having my friends over because they wouldn’t want to come over anymore and I was embarrassed to ask them to come over because they were always forced to play instruments. When I was 13 my dad took my Xbox 360 away from me. After that our relationship never got better. My dad would lash out and get violent when he was angry (me being on the receiving end of it even years before he took my Xbox). When I turned 16 and got my first job I bought a new Xbox 360. But I never played at home or told my dad. I only played at friends house. Even when my father thought I wasn’t playing videogames, he was the one that would get violent not me. A year later after I bought my new Xbox my mom died of cancer. Playing Xbox with friends was my escape from my reality. A time that I could forget I didn’t have a mom my senior year of high school. And had a father who didn’t understand his son and only wanted control over my life. Here I am present day 22 years old taking responsibility for myself. Paying my own bills and taking care of my younger sisters who are still in school. I still live in my dads house but not for long lol. Working on my passion and career for I.T and yes... still playing videogames. So I would like to ask this woman. Who’s the mor violent person: my father who’s never played a single videogame in his life and has given me black eyes forcing me to stay home from school so the school doesn’t find out? Or me? The person despite all I’ve been through, has never once thought of shooting up my school or enacting revenge on my father? I hope the answer is obvious. Blame mental health and bad parenting, not videogames.

If ur child acts a fool, it’s YOUR FAULT Optimus is correct as a nanny and oldest of 6 siblings I approve this message

Karen:Common sense isn’t real it can’t hurt you Common sense:

optimus just hit a HUGE milestone with this email

You know this lady's marriage was dying and decided to have a child, but then that didn't work, so she had 3 more.

Karen: *expects Optimus to agree with her opinion and submit to her “Logical” Reasoning* Optimus: I came expecting copper... *But I found gold*

“There’s so many videogames in America that’s why there’s so many shooting!” Japan over here making most of those games and selling them in their country and is not even close to having as many shootings as America.

Ok using this logic “all murderers eat food we shouldn’t eat food”

"Playing call of duty will make 'em drop a effing nuclear killstreak in the local mall" Made my day 🤣

So this woman thinks that her kids being spoiled brats in a video-game store is the games fault?😂

I genuinely can't imagine how boring her life must be, to first off get offended by a video as such, and then go through all the lengths of finding his business email and writing all the nonsense..

Shes definitely a "The world needs to accommodate to my needs because I'm parent" type

I’m literally working on my master’s degree and play video games. Been playing since I was like 10 and still play every day. This mom is absolutely nuts

Do those parents think their kids are going to go outside and start a town revolution, cleaning the streets and making real change because they can't play XBox anymore?

So this Karen’s argument that Optimus doesn’t know what parents like her go through and that raising a kid is harder than maintaining a KZfaq channel is a paradox. She doesn’t own a YT channel so how could she know what it takes to make a living off of YT?

Her kids must hate her... She's going to regret how she raised her kids when she's old and dying and her kids don't even visit her

"Your kids probably dislike you for being this way." Wisdom 100

People like her basically have awful parenting skills and blame their lack of parenting on video games.

She's gonna see this, and will respond.

A turtle doesn't approve of moms who don't like Optimus.

I like how he gave instructions on how to parent to someone who doesn't know how to parent despite being a parent

She actually sounds like my mom. I'm the youngest of 4 and the only boy. My mom thinks that the games are the problem even though I'm doing pretty good in school and whenever given the chance says "iTS ThE gAmEs FAuLt" while she doesn't do anything about it

I can just imagine what this mother looks like just from this email.

How does she not like Optimus prime

"YoU dOnT kNoW wHaT iTs LiKe To RaIsE 4 kIdS!!!" Ma'am this robot man raised over a million man-children

Mom: You are not allowed to play video games EVER!!! 4 kids: We all heavily disliked the decision of which you made and you will soon know the repercussions of your actions on this very day, mother.

All I heard was “I’m insecure about my parenting so I’m gonna take it out on you Optimus” these grown adults can’t take any kind of criticism

"Games are popular in the US, so they're to blame for mass shootings!" then how in the world Japan is not having the same issue??

She sounds like the type of parent who would yell at her kids over the tiniest of mistakes ,instead of actually helping them figure it out and then would brag about how "hard" it is. I'm sure that proper parenting would've done better *but that's all speculation of course.*

Dear Karen, please grow a brain and let the kids play, but restrict them (if they won't agree, take it away), and for the love of God, please understand that no link was proven between violent video games and actual violence

Mom: *hates Optimus for criticizing parents* Every individual with a brain cell count of room temperature: oh no, anyways.....

Strict parents are the reason kids act out. If a parent is too strict, their kids are more likely to become drug addicts, alcoholic, or ingrained in the very things the parents banned. My parents give me and my sister a lot of freedom. Guess what? We don’t drink, do drugs, or do other things that strict parents hate so much. That kind of parenting is going to ruin the lives of their kids.

Little does this “mother” know is that later she is setting her kids to be rebellious when they’re older so she is up for a rude awakening

Adding this lady’s children to my prayer list.

I feel bad for her kid watching this now, that is, if he's still allowed to watch optimus

Imagine your kids throwing tantrums and you just standing there and thinking "yeah this isn't the fault of me not raising them properly, must be the videogames"

''What do you know about parenting ?'' The line that every bad parent say when somebody blame their bad parenting

She said she going to ground her kids if they play video games at their friend's house oh yeah I will hate living underneath her roof dad's weak and spineless to

"You don't know what it's like to raise 4 children" She doesn't know what it's like to run a youtube channel and says it's easy... Don't contradict yourself 2 sentences later

She's probably just mad 'cause she wasn't packing that horser

played games for 10 years+ cant say ive ever had a thought about commiting mass genocide

"Anything you can do in your pajamas, is not hard, ladies" - bill burr.

This mother wont see her kids after their 30’s ever again lol

It’s situations like this that make me think man I’m so lucky that my parents are normal and overall great parents like if I did something bad they would just take my privileges away for the night rather that be my iPad my game console etc I’m so glad I have good parents and I feel bad for the people who got stuff with dumb parents like this crazy woman

I feel so bad for those kids, their life must be so miserable.

“You don’t know anything about parenting” *yes, but what do you know about gaming?*

If she doesn't approve of Optimus....don't know if she'll accept another settlement quest.

Man i feel bad about these children They will hate their parents and will probably have no real connections to other children their age :/

Your duty as a parent is to develop your kid's mind so that when they come across something relatively bad, they make a good judgement or a good decision (eg you should not stop your kids from doing drugs, you need to make them understand drugs are bad, so they make the decision themselves) Prohibition is not the way. Education is

the man who killed John Lennon read a book and gave him the idea to do that, does that mean we should ban books too

Optimus might not be a parent himself, but he was raised by good parents it seems

As they say, if you mindlessly defend yourself without being called out in particular, you are likely the guilty party

Funny thing, I know a friend who has parents that act EXACTLY like this. They are from Brazil, and he has an hour a week to play on PS4. His parents literally moved them all back to Brazil, and made him sell his PS4, and keep the money because he didn’t need it anyways.

Not all moms are like this but a lot of parents seem to not understand the difference between the impact of media and the impact of mental/physical unawareness of a child.

_"Oh no. Oh no David I dont like this, no that's enough. I dont like this."_

My parents banned me from gaming cause they didn't like that I wanted to be a KZfaqr, lol. Once they realized I gamed less cause I started seeing it as relatable to working a job, they were okay with it. Plus, I came out of my shell a lot and ended up with a lot of friends, and even a gf. Honestly it's annoying to see parents like this.

When she said she would grounded her children when they play video games at their friend's house, that's too messed up.

these parents do realize that if u tell someone not to do something that’s exactly what they are going to wannna do

My mother is a mother of 6... This parent really blaming it on the kid's fault for the fact she can't manage 4 kids...

Optimus: “You’re right, don’t know anything about parenting” Also Optimus 1 week later: “I’d be the best stepfather”

Gee, when I was a kid almost everday I played video games like an addict out of rehab and yet once the game was turned off I was always a decent human being. I wonder why that is.

Karen: (Sends angry email) Optimus: *_CONTENT TIME, BOYS!_*

It’s the parents faults nowadays these parents get annoyed by their children so what do they do o here you go sweetheart they give them the phone whatever device and think their job is done they don’t monitor them and don’t even take time to find out if their child has anything wrong in their lives

Can't wait to see what she responds with 😆

Mother : "what do you know about parenting?" Me: And what do you know about games?

"they refuse to listen" *well there's this thing called a plug and a wall outlet...*

Optimus: exists Middle aged moms: *EEEEEEE*

Karen:Insults him Optimus:You outter fool!

I hate it when these floundering parents use their spoiled crotch goblins to attack my favorite hobbies.

How long till this video is removed for "inciting violence" or "reveling personal data"

This tells us a lot about moms

*listens to part about guns* Opti: doesn't blame guns inherently Me: "phew"

Petition to call optimus haters "decepticons"

Imagine choosing to have kids just to throw it around in an argument like a football Edit: I wrote my comment before the rest of the email. Im appalled at the audacity people have to be critical of America and its violence when countless other developing countries around the world (where there are atrocities beyond what we’ve seen here) don’t even have access to the same games and yet go on to be involved in things like terrorism, genocide, child soldiers and beyond. Its absolutely amazing at this point

If this mom is so concerned about making sure her kids don't play 9 hours a day, they should just buy a nintendo switch and set up nintendo parent controls

I truly feel bad for those kids

This parent's source of their claims: Dude just trust me

Statistically, when basically everyone in the US was armed with a firearm the shooting and homicide rates were WAAAAY lower since people were too afraid to shoot since they'd probably get shot at back.

Optimus is the next evolution of Dr. Phil

She’s gonna make her kids resent her and rebel. When they grow up, they’ll hate her. They probably already hate her now. I wouldn’t be surprised if after they grow up and move out, they never speak with her again.

"You're a mother of 4 children, probably not a very good one" There was no noise! (S)he just died!

For some reason that sounds like my mom, she thinks she can win arguments with yelling, high pressure, and long words.
