The fact that even post Elsa Gate KZfaq still hasn’t learned how to actually protect children on their site actually disgusts me. KZfaq in my opinion should’ve never been for kids in the first place.

If you let your kids sit in front of an iPad all day rotting their brain, you're the problem not KZfaq.

It's funny to think I was more safe on this website as a 7 year old watching angry video game nerd as opposed to kids today watching this garbage

As Robbie Rotten once said, dont let your kids watch it.

Ahh the good old days when youtube kids was a seperate feed of videos before youtube decided all content should be "family friendly"

Parents are just as responsible. I'm honestly fearful of how this generation is going to turn out.

Am I the only one who has a massive phobia of elsagate content? I imagine it's the uncanny valley and the dissonance between the child-friendly appearance and the hidden horror elements. However, stuff like Happy Tree Friends, Salad Fingers etc. doesn't scare me because they're tongue-in-cheek, they are made for adults. Elsagate, however, is made in bad faith and with a predatory purpose. I get shivers all over my body when I see even an elsagate thumbnail, it's as if I'm watching pure evil.

I feel so horrible, my sisters used to watch some of this content and by the time I had notice and would ask “what’re you watching?” My eldest younger sister had become defensive, jerking her ipad away and yelling “NOTHING !” So I began to go through our KZfaq’s history, and sadly my sister had been exposed to what I believe to be v0re content, as our search history was alot of “enderman eats people” “wolf eats people” “people eat people”. I did my best to sit down and block / hide as many of these channels and as much of this content as possible and moderate my sisters content intake as my parents didn’t. Sadly, my parents are divorced now and my younger sisters live with my former step mom, I just hope they are no longer exposed to this content and won’t be too badly affected by what they have seen on here.

I genuinely don't understand how parents don't see themselves as at least partly to blame for this. Leave your kid alone with a device (and bonus points if it's your device so it doesn't have parental controls etc.) and your kid could literally end up on actual porn sites or Isis beheading videos. Why would you ever leave a small child alone with the internet?

ElsaGate content is like a Resident Evil boss. No matter how many times the site tries to combat it, it always comes back more mutated than ever.

It's something I've never understood. KZfaq enforces all sorts of strict 'family-friendly' guidelines on the main site, which is intended for 13+ users at the least, and then proceeds to neglect their actual kid-focused platform to the point where it's saturated with content even many adults find disturbing. How can you possibly mess up that bad?

These "Elsa gate" skits never really ended. They moved to mobile games. Same strategy: gross themes that are morbidly curious to kids, multiple studios releasing practically the same game with barely disguised copyrighted characters in horrible situation (pregnant Elsa and games with "spider hero" still make the top grossing lists in some countries)

You know how fetishes are rooted in your childhood? These kids will be into the weirdest shit

I gotta say man, unrestricted access to the internet from a young age has fucked up me and many other people I know

KZfaq’s official response was basically “Pedophilia is bad! (because/when it hurts our profits)”

having 3 kids from ages 7-17, this really hits close to home for me...thanks so much Tom for packing this filth into a digestable reference!!! this is really highly valauble!!!

Never forget that a Minecraft youtuber, TheMisterEpic, made a video on the situation regarding the Minecraft community (particularly the so-called "Monster School" content) and it got ad limited. All footage from the actual videos he showed were censored, yet KZfaq saw more fit to demonetize him for pointing out the problem than the channels making millions by showing that exact same content uncensored, directly aimed at kids, with no informative intention like on MisterEpic's video. It's like calling the cops to report a crime and then getting arrested yourself for reporting it.

I have two cousins that are just reaching middle school age and since birth they’ve been ipad kids. They are so socially underdeveloped and it’s so difficult to watch and know that they’re gonna have a hard time in school due to how much exposure they’ve had to the internet.

Never before has there been such a need for Fred Rogers and Bob Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo). Just two examples of people who spent their whole lives dedicated to making the world a better place for children.

As a parent of 3 beautiful children It’s not difficult to monitor what your children intake online, even with KZfaq kids. We block weird channels on their devices daily. And only allow them 2 hours online a day. The new problem I’ve encountered is the advertisements for the games they play. Even on games rated age4+ on the AppStore, theirs really no moderation on what the advertisements are about or even accurately reflected on the product. Like weird role playing games with sexualized situations. Just be mindful of what you allow for your children

I spent a month rotating in a pediatric clinic for school and man, toddlers (especially) and kids are absolutely ADDICTED to phones and watching these videos. They will scream their heads off if you take the phone away for even a second. I told my preceptor about all this, the elsagate and cocomelon stuff, and how they’re coming out with studies on how it affects neurodevelopment. She says she sees a LOT more kids nowadays with speech issues, which she thinks is related to the mega increase in screen time. Tempted to send this video to her because at this point it is a safety issue that should be discussed along with water safety, CPR, and poison control. It’s hard to not shake these parents like WHAT ARE YOU DOING

This is why you SHOULDN'T trust the Internet to raise your kids.

If I'm remembering correctly, this weird genre of disturbing, sometimes plain horrifying acts performed by children's cartoon characters started YEARS before Elsagate. I remember around 2007-2009 on early KZfaq, my friend and I (both in elementary school) stumbled across really disturbing animated shorts featuring Spongebob characters basically torturing one another, with painful screams in the background-- I still think about it to this day, it was traumatizing. I also recall a video of a popular character I really liked (I cannot remember who it was, maybe Barbie or a Powerpuff Girl?) who was s*lf h**rming. Granted, I don't think those videos at the time were aimed towards children, just morbidly curious young adults looking for "edgy" content, but of course when you're a child and see a thumbnail featuring your favorite cartoon characters, you're unfortunately going to click on it. The rise of children present on KZfaq and the internet as a whole is just so terrifying and sad...

saddest thing is that it has been known since the 70s that you can literally make your kid a genius in a certain topic as long as you stimulate their brain eg. math, chess, sports, music, anything really. it takes one google search and one click to find this out and yet parents rather turn on an ipad and let their kids watch this content. honestly sad. these kids never stood a chance lol.

I'm going to force my parents to watch this video. My 11 year old sister has watched these types of videos, maybe not full on creepy fetish levels of Elsagate but it's defined some trash quality shit. I've tried to tell my parents about the dangers of letting modern day kids onto KZfaq but my dad is slow on the uptake and my mom doesn't take my warnings seriously. Pray for us.

So it was these jerks that made my life a little more difficult as a speech therapist for preschoolers. Parents should be ashamed to not monitor and it's easy to find great creators like Super Simple Songs.

As someone who grew up watching KZfaq in these times, I can't help but thank my mother for setting strict boundaries for what I could and couldn't watch, and how lucky it was that I listened. Even so, this is such a far cry for Stampy and Dantdm.

I think the main consensus with Elsagate is that it traumatized kids, but coming from someone who experienced elsagate and knows many people who also did, I don’t think the bad things in those videos traumatized kids, I think it normalized them.

I'm a kindergarten teacher. I always recommend parents to not introduce KZfaq to kids under the age of 6. There is just way too much out there that can do more harm than good. And even once they reach the age of 6, I always recommend that the parents spend media time with the kids TOGETHER. But it's no use. It's so easy for parents to give their kids a tablet and park them. "Finally a moment where the kid doesn't need attention of the parent. Finally a moment where they are quiet. And aren't they sooo concentrated?!" A kid recently brought a Huggy Wuggy plushie to the kindergarten, and started to chase kids and do "nom nom nom" noises as the plushie "eats" the kids. Wonder where the kid got that funny little game from? Maybe from a horror game for people above the age of 16? Parents are responsible. NOT an algorithm. Parents are responsible. NOT youtube. Parents are responsible. NOT the media. Parents need to keep an eye on their kids, parents need to check what their kids are watching, and parents need to talk to their kids about what they see and what's safe etc etc etc. But it's so easy to put the responsibility in the hands of others. And if that doesn't work out, then it's so easy to find someone else to blame.

I think the weirdest part is how most of them rip off big names, like a lot of them use disney characters, and disney hasn't sued them out of existence. They got spiderman taken off a kid's tombstone for being "too dark", and they aren't going after people actively destroying the reputation of their official mascot? It's just really weird

I for one am so thankful that I fixated on my DVDs. Namely Scooby-Doo, but a bunch of those other older shows as well. Because here's the thing: 1) had to learn how to take care of my DVDs; I couldn't just wreck them, and 2) that content had to get passed before it premiered. It had to get through Warner Bros, or whoever else. The fundamental issue in *this content* is there is no gate to get through before you actually post. Once it's up, anybody can see it until someone reviews it or whatever. And that's a huge issue because while I'm all for freedom of speech, the price you pay is you have to trust people. And a lot of people can't be trusted.

I really wish KZfaq would add a rating system like what have for shows and movies. Obvioulsy content that isn't marketed in any way towards children getting age-restricted and demonitized isn't the worst issue here, but it always makes me so angry hearing that a creator's video that is targeted towards adults is getting demonitized, especially when it is an educational and/or commentary video (such as this one). I'm sick of hearing people are getting demonitized because the content they make isn't "family friendly" enough.

This would have been interesting to mention, but Cocomelon, the one channel that does have semi-educational content, has been directly linked with many developmental issues as it moves far too fast for young children and regularly overstimulates them.

The fact that Elsa Gate is not only still here but evolving, it really makes you double-check the content you give your kids. It's like Hydra, you cut off one head, three more take its place

As a parent, one of the most frustrating and pointless restrictions KZfaq started to try and control the whole ElsaGate thing was restricting children’s content from playlists. I use to be able to just make playlists of videos I approved for my kids to watch. I’d make them of Halloween cartoons or stuff we were learning about and so on. But now it’s not allowed and the site actually prompts you to go to KZfaq Kids instead 🤨

I just want to state that you can still find either fully naked animated or old porno on the app if you type in the right key words. Reels, playlists. Even the young term is still popular. I’m glad I was raised when obscure ARGS, creepypastas, horror animations/stop motion and jumpscares were really popular. Feel like it made me more artistic and articulate. God, I hope these kids stuck in iPad social media hell and predatory content don’t grow up into fucked up people or oversexualized :(

I remember being 16/17 back in 2016 and having my younger sister, who was no older than what? 5 or 6 years old being obsessed with this stuff on KZfaq. She was definitely super young when this happened. It was frustrating I couldn't get her to watch something else, considering it was my YT account that she was watching it on and because she watched so much of it, it absolutely WRECKED my recommendations to the point I didn't think it was possible to salvage it so I had to make a new one to start over. But I also vividly remember being very weirded out by the content that was created during Elsagate when I was a teenager, but at the time could never figured out why and did whatever I could to keep my younger sister away from that stuff to the best of my ability simply because of how much it disturbed/wigged me out back then. It's sucks being 23 now and nearly 6/7 years later, and KZfaq still won't take the proper precautions to protect kids/other vulnerable from this sort of predatory content.

Remember, these kids who were watching it are the rearguard of Gen Z and the vanguard of Gen Alpha. I fear for the minds of those exposed to this between inattentive parents and KZfaq's poor moderation. There should be multiple lines of defense against this kind of content, and yet they didn't exist.

Goes to show that unrestricted internet access or just any internet access from a young age really tends to mess with kids and their futures.

I'm fortunate that the most disturbing shit I came across was Happy Tree Friends and Salad Fingers. But even then there was the strange programming in 'normal' cartoons, which is probably a little too beyond this place. If you know, you know.

"And what can be done?" Literally touch grass with your kids and avoid giving them any kind of phone or tablet until they're at a sensible age. What the fuck is going on with parents these days?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but all the "kids content" that's plaguing the site makes GoAnimate grounded videos look like ambitious cinematic masterpieces.

I allowed my son to watch this shit!!!! Obviously not realizing it was an intentional thing. I had never watched KZfaq or KZfaq kids b4. He spent his first two years in school drawing pictures of anything including blood and gore. He would cry at bedtime and would say he couldn't stop thinking about everybody being dead. I WAS UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHY!!! I stopped him from watching KZfaq kids and all games he played had to be "no blood or gore". Within a year- he was no longer drawing bloody scenes on the back of school papers and his thoughts of death when going to bed went away. It was terrifying for him to be unable to sleep bc of worrying about everyone he knows being dead.

As someone who watched a lot of stuff like this as a kid, I’m lucky to not have had any bad side effects.

I love how KZfaq kids has more disturbing content by its "adult version"

When I was in elementary school I watched Elsa Gate content and I will admit that it messed me up permanently.. I have a brother in 1st grade and all he consumes is this new gen Elsa Gate with the occasional KZfaqr who plays GTA with mods. Since he was 2 years old, he has always been on KZfaq. First it was the horribly animated but kid friendly nursery rhymes. Then it turned into feet and transformation fetish content. He often watches the Huggy Wuggy, Minecraft, and the Among Us videos. I then noticed he constantly watched transformation, feet, pregnancy, and inflation content. This has also messed him up and made him like things that a normal 6 year old shouldn't like. He often tries to recreate the things he sees on KZfaq like trying to lick people's feet and even once perfectly described inflation porn to me. When I ask him where he learned this behavior from, he always says "KZfaq". Elsa Gate DOES effect a child's action towards others. I was in 4th-5th grade when I discovered Elsa Gate and my brother is so much younger than that so I can't even imagine the damage it has done to him. KZfaq shorts is also ruining children's attention span. My brother was always able to do things for a long span of time such as an hour long. Then all he did was watch KZfaq shorts. Not only can he not watch anything for more than 5 minutes, he can barely hold a conversation for anymore than 30 seconds. To see a small child with an internet addiction in the worst way possible is truly saddening. It's also to the point where he'd rather watch clips of tv shows on KZfaq and refuse to watch the actual show on Netflix. He won't watch Sonic shows on a streaming service but will watch terribly animated Sonic animation of Amy Rose pregnant with Sonic's child. Elsa Gate has ruined children. If you read this, thank you. I just want to share my experience on the tragedy Elsa Gate has brought.

William Afton channel It always comes back, more disturbing than before

KZfaq is consistently the worst platform for any content, they don't fix any of their problems unless its effecting them and their income, and they aren't helpful to any content creators that aren't making them an obscene amount of cash.

My son uses KZfaq kids but I locked it all down. He was in just the regular app and there wasn’t anything inappropriate that he watched but some of it was just…odd. So I blocked everything and he can only watch hand approved videos. Sesame Street, pbs kids, BBC kids, etc. KZfaq needs to be better at vetting these things but parents also need to be involved in what their kids are watching/doing/interested it. Not only can it help you bond but it gives you the knowledge to keep them safe

When I was around 10 and KZfaq Kids had just come out, my family made me use it. I saw p0rn, cursing and gore everywhere. Kids content on KZfaq is terrible and it always has been.

I’m glad you’re talking about this kind of content. Everyone, especially PARENTS, need to be warned about this kind of degenerate “content”. I know people who give their kids unfiltered access to this kind of stuff and I see all the ways it negatively affects their kids. And unfortunately most of what I see is they start to develop an obsession with violence. It’s extremely concerning and unsettling and thankfully I have known of this stuff before now and see how it affects people so I know how to avoid my future children from being exposed to this nonsense. Kids should not have the freedom to go all over the internet. The worst part is it’s not even the kids faults. It’s the disgusting and sick people out there that exploit children by any means to make money. God help us all

this is scary man .... as someone who is looking to have kids , youtube is one thing i'm going to have to regulate to the highest degree ..... youtube,tiktok,instagram, etc all destroying the minds of the younger generation and almost got mine while growing up

its almost as if the internet is wild and unpredictable and kids shouldn't be left alone with it

“Can anything reasonably be done to stop it?” Yes. Parenting

That moment when you realize the most grotesque stuff you may ever see in your adult life can come from KZfaq Kids videos.

When I was a kid sometimes blue’s clues would feel too repetitive and over stimulating for me. I have no idea how these kids are able to handle this stuff today. I remember watching stuff like Mr. Roger’s and how calming it was. It’s really sad that this is the state of everyday entertainment for kids. I really wish parents would just not let them watch endless amounts of KZfaq on their phones or iPads. This is why kids need toys and books. I know being a parent and saying this stuff is easy but dang I genuinely worry about the effect of this crap on a developing mind.

feel bad for those kids who wont get to experience the joy of primetime DanTDM or Stampy, they really made kids content big on youtube all by themselves and its so amazing

I grew up when trends of sharing happy tree friends, real life gore, 2 girls 1 ☕, weird p*rn and my little pony gore videos were the thing among 10-16yo. Even tho this is creepy for sure the internet is way more regulated now. I just wish for people to leave kids alone and let them be innocent and have a normal childhood.

Hello, I was one of the children who was absolutely drawn into the Elsagate content when it was at it's peak. I know, one of many, but I want to share my experience for those who weren't there. It started out with the toy videos. Like the dolls going swimming or something. Cute and simple, right? Eventually, this evolved into animated videos like anna and elsa mmd's (one of which I remember had anna and elsa passionately making out) and yeah, the spider man and elsa videos. I remember there was a LOT of content with syringes and pregnancy. Like a LOT. And feet. Something I noticed even as a little kid while watching was that a lot of the content was focused on the characters crying or being in pain. I didn't think much of it because of the environement I grew up in and I thought it was strange, therefore interesting. As a kid, you're constantly learning new things so seeing these things doesn't seem that wrong, especially if you see it in your daily life outside of youtube as well. There was also a lot of content like this when looking for games with my favorite characters like elsa, monster high and barbie. Things like teeth cleaning, feet cleaning and c-sections. This all also lead me to watching gacha life videos, specifically heat videos. A lot of my memories of these videos are very vague and fragmented because of how nonsencial they were and how much of it I watched, but I can recognize the ones I watched frequently in this very video. I can say this stuff did effect me up to this day because of how it normalized the sexual content to me (even now watching this part of me doesn't think this content isn't that bad because of how I watched it) leading to bringing me into exploitative situations with adults online, also developing a strange relationship with my sexuality and...yeah. There was even a point where I uploaded a video of myself on youtube at the age of 10 doing gymnastics and showed my foot to the camera at one point because I had hurt it stepping on something. That video is still up today and I can't get it taken down. Thankfully, it has less than 100 views last I checked but it still scares me to this day that it's up. I don't really blame youtube for this. I still enjoy and watch youtube to this day, obviously, and I don't blame youtube's algorithim for any of the videos I was exposed to. I also don't blame myself for seeking out these videos since I wasn't even in middle school yet at the time. I do, however, blame my parents for not monitering or taking any precautions when giving us internet access. They still don't for my 11 year old brother. I understand it would've been difficult to watch all five of us, but if that were the case then I believe we shouldn't have each gotten our own separate tablets and devices. The situation was a little more complicated than just "They gave us tablets" but I do think even something like turning off the internet at certain times from the start would've been effective. Moral of the story? Parents, watch yo dang kids. Or randos on the internet will do it for you :]

demoralizing, disrupting and conditioning minds

On one end I can see why parents blame KZfaq but on the other, they gave their kids unrestricted internet access, if people didn’t just give the iPad over to their kids and let it raise them for them, then maybe this wouldn’t have happened to this extent.

I can only really see 3 main positives coming out of ElsaGate: Stricter regulation- Stopping illegal activity on KZfaq and things that exploit children Parents becoming more aware- Less children are exploited online and kids are actually allowed to have childhoods and are not as traumatised The Internet coming together to basically say "This is fucked" and proving that if there is a common issue, people will come together.

My daughter loves Gacha Life, but I can't let her watch the videos. There was a video that was literally a CP fantasy skit. I hate that kids can't enjoy things they love without perverts messing it up.

The more they get kids into sexual scenes and porn while on the internet, the more the kids will be open to adult sexual themes. They tend to get into internet porn quite a bit then end up intermingling with horrid adults before they are of age. I think, certain pedos know that if they include these themes, it will make kids curious about it and maybe even have future enticing towards sexual themes before they are old enough. Like how when i was 4 till about 10, (probably my parents divorce changed my thoughts at 10) i used to pretend that i was drinking beer like my dad was. I used to pretend that little sticks where cigarettes like my parents. I used to pretend swords and pretend dismemberment and bleeding out when i would play with my brother. Luckily my parents were good enough at keeping our minds off harder drugs, sex, and other more intense themes, but it still seems to prove my point that kids have tendencies to want to be adults.

2016 has got to be the most insane year in KZfaq History creator wise. A dark part of me wished some of it would return today for just a week

I remember being a teenager at the time of this and telling some of the adults in my life about this (some of whom who had kids watching KZfaq kids) and them just not giving a shit.

I work with kids that have.. Absolutely been watching stuff like this and have been watching other adult animation stuff found on youtube. These kids end up so incredibly desensitized to this shit and honestly every day they'll talk about shit like this so nonchalantly. Its so incredibly disturbing and concerning.

I don't think parents should be allowing their kids to access KZfaq until they feel like they are mature enough. There are plenty of things for your kids to indulge in that are fun that won't desensitize them or rot their brains.

You know it's bad when the story makes 4chan sound like responsible internet users.

Love how the risk of losing money is what it takes to make a company do something

Back in 2021 I met this girl at a house party in Atlanta. I was tryna Mack on her and asked what she did for a living. She told me she animated videos for Russian companies…what she began to describe to me was Elsa gate level stuff. I asked why she did it, what their end goal was, etc etc… Once she realized I knew what she did, she quit answering questions about it and shortly after that, left the party lol

Thank you so much for making this, now I have something easy and digestible I can send to the parents in my family completely unaware this is the type of stuff their kids watch on YT.

I’m glad I discovered KZfaq in 2012 and not 2016 I would’ve probably ended up more traumatized just by watching these videos.

I love when my favorite youtubers are sponsored by law firms and news sites. A nice break from the same hello fresh ads

Man this just makes me think how cooked this generation is and not in a good way

As a parent of a toddler, thank you so much for producing this.

It's amazing how all of the efforts to put an end to this have been foreign governments and random interests and even 4chan, but the very last group to ever step in and do anything about it is youtube itself; and whenever they FINALLY decide to do the right thing, it's only after they've made as much money as they can and the damage is already done, and it's always much too little and much too late.

protecting my little brother from this stuff has been a nightmare. I really hate that KZfaq won't do shit about this.

Thanks for making this video to inform parents and everyone else. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t think any of this really matter until they one day have kids themselves, and by then it’s already too late.

Thank you putting this together! Always thought there was so much junk on that app but this pushed me to remove the app from our TV, it’s a hard NO from me!

Imagine living in a crazy world where people try to corrupt kids under the disguise of "family friendly kids content"

I find it so insane that these videos are and were so abundant. Why do these kids keep watching these and where are their parents

Just sent this to my brother who has a 4 year old boy and a year old girl. I always come over and see them watching weird stuff like this. He said he's deleting KZfaq off theyre tablet and is now gonna start getting them to watch the kid shows we watched growing up in the early 2000s❤ I don't want my nephew and niece exposed to this bs. Thank u for making this video💯❤

Children definitely do know how to skip ads, the fastest ive ever seen an ad get skipped was by a 2 year old watching yt videos. He immediately started spamming the ad count down with his finger until it let him skip it. Ive also seen him instantly decline phone calls that interrupt when their using their mothers phone to watch videos. They figure that out fast

as someone who grew up with unrestricted access to the internet i will not let it be a part of their lives until they are at minimum 15

out of all of turkey tom’s vids, this one disturbed me the most.

I’m 20 with a 2 year old sister and this stuff is dangerous. My dad literally just leaves KZfaq kids on for the 40 hours a week he works.

This generation of Kids is so screwed. Half these kids are raised by their parents phone.

back in the 2010's when I was an itty bitty child, I discovered all sorts of graphic and honestly scarring things, like I watched those naked fnaf videos in 2015, the elsagate stuff, what could be called "spicy anime", the nsfw minecraft videos in like 2013, the awful gacha stuff in 2018/19, etc. I could go on for hours about all the graphic content preteen me found and watched

As someone who had broadly unrestricted internet access from a somewhat young age from the late 2000s whilst I don't think is ruined me I was a young teen during the time where liveleak and ISIS beheadings were at their peak which led me to not be bothered by gore or violence, at least seeing it doesn't like freak or gross me out, which I don't really think is really a bad thing as it did make me quite resilient. the main way I think it effected me was actually just being glued to the internet when I maybe could have been hanging out with people I knew. I do know that when I have kids I'm gonna be more strict than my parents were but I also know Kids always find a way.

Man, my parents would give me strange looks when I insisted on watching Stampy's Lovely World content I think the entire family dodged a bullet with that. Nowadays im the only one really trying to protect my younger siblings from worse content such as this disgusting trash.

My children were very young and I was going through a divorce and working when I found what they were watching on KZfaq and I was floored. I got them therapy, all of us really, to this day praying the damage that was done from my inattentiveness in this regard hasn’t scarred them for life 😢

I've been warning my sister about letting my nephew watching this type of content as of recent. She never listened to me. And she got into trouble when my nephew tried to reenact what he seen during class. Yeah... she still let him watch it but my parents and I have heavy restrictive access to youtube and other video watching platform when he is at my parents house. Most of the time he isn't allowed to watch videos on youtube, mostly down to because nearly every time we allow him to watch KZfaq, the moment we let him, we hear or see something that is so off base he is off of it. One of them was a video where they utilized Garry's Mod as an "Webcam" to express expletive and or disturbing themes while random videos and gameplay plays in the background. My nephew get overtly upset every time I have to pull him away from those type of videos, but the damage that it caused to him was already pretty apparent. Violence and adult themes essentially becoming pretty much normalized to him before he is even in his double digits.

I am 100% no joking when I say these videos are horrifying to me, from the weirdly unsettling bootleg art style to the nature in them are without a doubt in my opinion scarier than any horror film or story I've seen only being rivalled by those gory creepy Claymation videos, I feel really uneasy when watching them.

The best way to put an end to this type of stuff is for parents to *raise their own kids* instead of outsourcing it to the government or youtube.

as someone who unfortunately grew up watching elsagate content near the time when it was introduced to youtube, i can confirm it messes you up BAD. i feel so bad for the kids who practically live on that type of content like i did, i would've been so much better off without the trauma and issues i got from all those videos and it's something i wish could just disappear from the face of the internet forever.

I was ten in 2016 and my sister was only 8. I remember seeing her watch these videos and being a little grossed out because the videos were well… gross. But i didnt think much of it because I was only ten. Now I look back at the full picture and realize just how fucked up it was. Most of it was literally just fetish/ torture stuff. Makes sense to me why my generation and the newer generation are so desensitized to violence when they’ve been watching Elsa get tortured while pregnant.

Whats crazy to me is that if you make a way for people to access CP or even soft core CP people will flock to it. I wonder if the police could make a gotcha site to capture some of these potential predators

Thank you for making this video. I'm sharing this. This is awful. Parents need to know what their kids are actually watching.
