#not that the elf existed when I was a kid just the general Santa lie

[whatbigotspost]

I wish parents who are hardcore “wHat do YOu wAnT froM SAnTa????” “be GOOD or SANTA won’t come” “the elf is watching” general Christmas surveillance parents could figure out their lies w/o impacting or involving the rest of us.

I don’t wanna be complicit in this charade 😅 Esp when kids are asking me redic questions?? Like noooooo. I’m not saying shit bc I don’t causally lie sorryyyyyyyyy.

I get they think all this is cute or whatever but I didn’t like it as a kid and I don’t like it now.

#not that the elf existed when I was a kid just the general Santa lie #the surveillance training kids go under these days is CRAZY NEXT LEVEL #and this doesn’t even touch on how when you tell your kids Santa rewards goodness with amazing gifts #you’re setting up poor kids to feel like shit for no fucking reason when they compare themselves to rich kids #sorry y’all this shit is dumb and I hate it #it’s all kinds of terrible messages for kids and I want NO PART

Okay but as a psychotic person I hate santa clause as a concept. Why are people so hyped up for gaslighting their children into believing in all these holiday figures setting them up for the day they eventually shatter their world view?

And I'm dead serious about this shit this isn't a joke. Why is it normal and accepted to gaslight your kids to make their lives more ✨ magical ✨

And convincing your kids santa exists IS legitimate gaslighting like it inherently (to pull it off) includes the following:

Going above and beyond to convince your child something you know isn't real. Lying about who is the one doing all these things

Using this to impact a child's self esteem and measuring their actions through arbitrary standards you impose on them but pretend some magical entity is doing it (who also sees all of their actions. Even worse for the psyche when you use elf on the shelf type shit teaching your kids surveillance is normal lol)

Aggression/hostility to kids who don't believe in santa, treating their doubts and questions like a bad attitude and teaching them if they don't stop questioning lies people tell them that they'll be punished

Convincing believing kids that their peers are lying to them, that they can't trust them, and instilling a mistrust to anyone who disagrees with their family.

We're psychotic and lived in a family that loved gaslighting us in general so we'd develop dissociative amnesia and remember less of the abuse that happened and have lived extreme gaslighting that made us think a murder attempt made on us was funny for a literal 8 years so I am not over reacting or misusing the term here when I say the techniques and the overall results are exactly the same.

Don't convince vulnerable children things you don't believe yourself. Don't set the precedence that you can lie to them and gaslight them for a perceived benefit or enrichment.

Just be a normal fucking person and give them gifts from yourself or explain that Santa is fictional and the gifts come from you or loved ones.
