MODERATORS
It's interesting how deeply ingrained some beliefs are, to the point where even something as harmless as a game can spark accusations of promoting satanism. The real issue, though, isn't just the perception of a game but the way religious teachings often shape children’s worldviews from such a young age. Take things like forcing kids to wear hijabs or pushing them into child marriages—they’re not just about faith; they’re about control and limiting autonomy.
Even the constant bombardment of fairy tale-like stories in religious settings can harm a child's development. It stifles critical thinking and encourages the acceptance of the fantastical over rational, evidence-based understanding. The fact that something as benign as a game can be viewed as a threat shows how deep the fear of challenging these narratives goes. It's a reminder that the real damage is often done when kids are taught to accept things without question, simply because it’s "part of the tradition."
