      Thank you for making your voice heard, it’s important we share our opinions and ideas. Nevertheless, I thought this was super funny

        Can I ask why? In this video, we see a child struck by water with such force that they are strongly knocked to the ground, and immediately starts crying from the ordeal.

        Do you like seeing children in pain and/or in misery?

        Do you have any kids of your own, out of curiosity?

          I have 3, this is neither hurt nor scared. It’s surprised before a proper knowledge of how to handle the experience. He got put on his bum from a strong wave and overwhelmed by it. He immediately found his parent and got comfort. I’d be willing to bet that within 10 minutes of this video, he was back at the fence and laughing his ass off.

          That’s literally how kids learn is doing something stupid and seeing what happens. It’s not great they got knocked down for it but it looks like it was just a strong shove, and now they internalized high speed water can be dangerous.

          Kids also look to their parents for how to react. If you’re one of the people who thinks it’s funny the kid is probably going to write it off as well.

          Kid started crying because he got scared, not because of pain. Yes, I have a kid.

            not because of pain

            How do you know this? That would hurt my face, too, probably. Not to the point of crying, butt this is a child.

            Kid started crying because he got scared

            So you prefer to laugh at crying children who get scared rather at children who get hurt? I… guess that makes sense? I just don’t get the “super funny” part.

          I can’t take children seriously, they are unreasonable. I find it funny because it looks funny.

            Well, you are wrong. They have emotions just as valid as ours, they just have no filter on their crying. This was not a fun experience for them, and you think that’s funny. I think that’s pretty shitty of you, no disrespect. I say this to shed some light on it for you, not to put you down.

      It is. Right now the kid thinks it’s the worst thing in the world that’s ever happened to him. Later in life it won’t matter a lick and will be something to look back and laugh at.
