Hello parents. Having a bit of an internal debate so I figured I'd put this out to a wider space. We subscribe to a YouTube channel called The Adventure Agents. My son has been a huge fan of their many channels and it's a great channel about survival, bushcraft, basically all sorts of playing in nature with kids. They even have mystery solving arcs that the lead dad (Agent Tex) solves with his children and family/friends. We even subscribe to their paid app and I hope to soon get some merch if I can work out this internal debate.Now let me preface this by saying, I am not trying to start any sort of debate about COVID/ nature parenting, or any subject I bring up here. I am not trying to get the parents of the channel doxxed, hated on, or cancelled. I realize we all come from different walks of life. I'm a city girl born and raised with not too much outdoor experience.I was on their Instagram, as I am here and there to keep an ear for merch news and the like. In their story seemed to be a response from a fellow subscriber asking that Agent Tex keep his opinions about viruses off the kids show. I haven't had a chance to see the video in question but he mentions viruses being harmless apparently and she had to calm her traumatized child as they had suffered loss.His stories and posts just seem to have an air over the last months of "a religion of fear" and "do you but we're going to do us". I have no problem with that in the main but the thinly veiled vaccine hesitancy and sometimes cult-ish language makes me uncomfortable.There's more but I will leave it here. My question basically boils down to, would this sort of thing give you pause? Or make you avoid the content? Or I am being too sensitive? I know it can be said "If you don't like it, scroll" or "They're entitled to their opinions." But I'm hoping to hear from other parents who are fans and maybe see this trend too? I was just wondering if this was a case of reading too much into it or time to pull back. Thank you. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2WbSQzw
