The Freudian Horror of Sesame Street & Psychoanalytic Dog People

Freudian horror uses psychoanalytic concepts like repression, the uncanny (das Unheimliche), doppelgängers, and taboo desires (the Id) to create psychological dread, focusing on familiar things becoming terrifying as hidden trauma and forbidden impulses resurface, often through doubles, dolls, or distorted family dynamics, making the horror internal and deeply unsettling rather than just external threats. It taps into primal fears of castration, the monstrous feminine, and the return of the repressed, making the familiar feel alien and threatening.

Whoever Had the Idea of Putting a Big Terrifying Bird on TV for a Kids Show?

Ah, Sesame Street—the beloved educational powerhouse that’s taught generations about letters, numbers, and the importance of sharing. But let’s be real: Whoever dreamed up the idea of plopping a massive, googly-eyed yellow bird front and center in a show for toddlers deserves a medal… or maybe a therapy session. I’m talking about Big Bird, that 8-foot-tall feathered giant who was supposed to be cuddly but ended up haunting my childhood nightmares. And don’t get me started on those “Dog people”—you know, the oversized, floppy-eared pups and mammoth creatures that lumbered around like they owned the block. If you were a kid in the ’80s or ’90s, you get it: These weren’t just puppets; they were unintentional horror icons.

Big Bird – Sesame Workshop

The Birth of a Feathered Fright

It all started back in 1969 when Jim Henson and his team at Sesame Workshop decided kids needed a relatable character who was, uh, a colossal canary. Big Bird was designed to represent the innocence of a 6-year-old, complete with wide-eyed wonder and a nest on Sesame Street. But come on—towering over everyone at over 8 feet, with those spindly legs and a beak that could peck through a phone book? To a tiny tot glued to the TV, he looked less like a friend and more like a escaped zoo exhibit ready to snatch you up for a “hug.” I remember hiding behind the couch every time he waddled on screen, convinced he’d burst through the TV like some avian Kool-Aid Man. Personal confession: My fear was so real that I once refused to eat scrambled eggs, associating them with Big Bird’s potential revenge.

Why Big Bird Gave Us the Heebie-Jeebies

Psychologists have a field day with this. Kids’ brains are wired to fear the unfamiliar, and Big Bird checks all the boxes: unnatural size, bright colors that scream “predator camouflage fail,” and movements that were just a tad too jerky thanks to the puppeteering tech of the era. Sure, he sang sweet songs about the alphabet, but that voice? A mix of cheerful falsetto and something that echoed like a distant thunderclap. Memes today capture it perfectly—Big Bird kicking down doors or lurking in shadows, turning our childhood icon into a viral villain. If the goal was to teach resilience, mission accomplished; I learned to face my fears… by changing the channel.

And Then There Were the “Dog People”

Oh, the “Dog people”—those shaggy, anthropomorphic beasts that made Sesame Street feel like a bizarre petting zoo gone wrong. Take Barkley, the massive orange mutt who bounded around with endless energy, slobbering and barking like he was auditioning for a werewolf role. He was supposed to be adorable, but to my young eyes, he was a furry freight train ready to tackle anyone in sight. And let’s not forget Snuffleupagus, Big Bird’s “imaginary” friend who turned out to be real—a enormous, woolly mammoth-dog hybrid with eyelashes longer than my attention span. Snuffy’s slow, rumbling voice and sheer bulk made him the stuff of bedtime terrors. Why pair a giant bird with even bigger dog-like pals? It was like the creators thought, “Kids love animals… let’s supersize ’em and see what happens!” Spoiler: What happened was a generation of us clutching our blankets tighter.

The Legacy of Lovable Terrors

Looking back, it’s hilarious how these characters, meant to foster learning and laughter, accidentally doubled as bogeymen. Sesame Street has evolved—Big Bird’s still around, but with smoother animations and less intimidating vibes. Yet, the fear factor lingers in pop culture, from horror parodies to adult confessions online. Whoever had the bright idea (shoutout to Joan Ganz Cooney and the Henson crew), thanks for the memories… and the mild PTSD. If you’re a parent now, maybe warn your little ones: That big bird isn’t coming for you—he’s just here to count to 10.

The Disgusting Reality Behind TikTok Teen Dance Videos and Predatory Eyes

The Disgusting Reality Behind TikTok Teen Dance Videos and Predatory Eyes

In the glittering world of social media, TikTok stands as a beacon for creativity, self-expression, and viral fame. With over a billion users worldwide, the platform has revolutionized how young people connect, share, and entertain. Teenagers, in particular, flock to it for dance challenges—those energetic, synchronized routines set to catchy tunes that rack up millions of views. But beneath the surface of these seemingly innocent videos lies a disturbing truth that haunts many parents, especially fathers: while their daughters twirl and lip-sync with friends, unseen predators lurk on the other side of the screen, deriving sexual gratification from what should be harmless fun.

This isn’t mere paranoia; it’s a well-documented reality substantiated by investigations, law enforcement reports, and platform admissions. TikTok’s algorithm, designed to keep users scrolling endlessly, often amplifies content featuring young dancers, inadvertently exposing them to exploitation. 3 For many fathers, the knowledge that their teen daughters’ videos could be fodder for pedophiles and sexual predators is a “disgusting truth” that keeps them up at night—a silent epidemic in the digital age.

The Allure of Video Dancing on TikTok

TikTok thrives on short-form content, and dance videos are its lifeblood. Teens, often girls in their early to mid-teens, post clips of themselves performing trending dances, sometimes in groups with friends. These videos emphasize movement, rhythm, and youthful energy, drawing likes, comments, and shares. The platform’s appeal lies in its accessibility: anyone with a smartphone can participate, fostering a sense of community and empowerment. However, this very openness turns TikTok into a hunting ground for those with malicious intent.

Predators exploit the app’s features to target vulnerable users. They pose as peers or fans, engaging in grooming tactics under the guise of compliments on dance moves. 1 Reports indicate that children and teens face heightened risks of cybercrimes, including sexual exploitation, as their online presence grows. 1 The app’s failure to adequately police such interactions has been highlighted in cases where flagged accounts of potential predators weren’t immediately banned, allowing them to continue soliciting minors. 2

The Predators Lurking in the Shadows

The “disgusting truth” boils down to this: every time a teen girl posts a dance video, there’s a real chance it’s being viewed by individuals seeking sexual gratification. Pedophiles and sexual predators use TikTok to scour for content featuring minors, often saving, sharing, or even deep-diving into profiles to gather personal information. 11 One alarming example involves videos of young children in everyday scenarios, like bath time, that attract disproportionate bookmarks—indicators of predatory interest. 11

Experts and law enforcement have repeatedly sounded the alarm. TikTok has become a “magnet for pedophiles,” with the platform’s viral nature amplifying exposure for kids making singing and dancing videos. 17 Internal documents from TikTok itself reveal that the company has long known about the app’s potential to harm teens and preteens, including risks from predatory behavior, yet algorithmic tweaks prioritize engagement over safety. 5 In one investigation, predators were found lurking not just on TikTok but across platforms like YouTube and Discord, normalizing sexual behavior around children by posing as influencers or fans. 13

Parents’ groups and watchdogs emphasize that apps like TikTok pose serious risks, with predators using chat features or comments to initiate contact. 18 Even seemingly benign content, like group dances, can be sexualized by viewers with ill intent. Discussions on platforms like X highlight how predators prowl for underage dancing teens, turning innocent posts into sources of exploitation. 0 Moreover, the app’s algorithm floods young users with potentially harmful content, exacerbating their vulnerability and making it easier for predators to blend in. 3

The Parental Nightmare: What Every Father Knows

For fathers, the awareness of this threat is visceral. They understand that social media’s veil of anonymity shields predators who watch, fantasize, and sometimes act. Sharing children’s lives online, even innocently, can lead to unintended dangers, as parents unwittingly expose their kids to global audiences. 4 The emotional toll is profound: TikTok’s effects on kids include not just addiction but heightened risks of mental health issues stemming from predatory encounters. 6 8

Hidden risks abound, from doxxing and stalking to more severe forms of exploitation. 16 Even fan-made content, like edits of young celebrities or influencers, can normalize predatory behavior if not addressed. 19 While TikTok offers tools for privacy and content moderation, critics argue they’re insufficient, especially when the app’s design prioritizes virality. 7 9 The platform’s all-knowing algorithm shapes how teens interact, but it comes with perils that no parent can ignore. 10

This truth extends beyond TikTok to broader social media, where similar issues persist. Yet, the app’s focus on video dancing amplifies the problem, turning what should be empowering into a potential nightmare.

 

Raising Awareness and Protecting the Vulnerable

The disgusting truth about social media and video dancing is that it’s not just about fun—it’s about safeguarding innocence in a predatory digital landscape. Fathers, mothers, and guardians must educate themselves and their children on privacy settings, reporting suspicious activity, and the importance of limiting public exposure. Platforms like TikTok need stricter age verification and proactive moderation to curb these risks.

Ultimately, while TikTok can foster creativity and connection, its dark underbelly demands vigilance. By acknowledging this reality, we can push for better protections and ensure that a teen’s dance remains just that—a dance, not an invitation for harm.

Kids never listen!! – “What Really Burns Me”

Kids never listen!!

Author: Thomas Domich

 

Do as I say not as I do. Do what we tell you because we know what’s right and wrong and you don’t. Keep crying I’m going to give you something to cry about.

Do you remember these words? these nuggets of wisdom that our parents said to us?

The problem is, we didn’t listen, just like the generation now doesn’t listen or any generation before or after will listen.

Arguably it stems from the technological upbringing of the modern age. When the children can view a video on YouTube, that shows a fantasy life where the parents both get along and the kids get along with each other and everybody’s happy and everybody has money. Then naturally those kids are going to follow along with that and not see reality as it is.

And we’ve all done it ignored our parents thought they didn’t know anything until we became adults and we look back on our life and realize that our parents were right we were wrong.

I tried to talk to my children and hopes that I can change their thought processes and to make them realize that we know what we’re talking about as adults.

My explanation is as follows:

“Whatever you think about doing, whatever you plan on doing, I have already done it. Those things that you’re trying to decide whether to do because you know it might be wrong I’ve done it, and I have paid the consequences for all of those things so you wouldn’t have to. So learn from my hard earned wisdom, And hear my words so you won’t have to suffer the way I did. I did all those things and suffered those consequences so I can teach you”

How do you think that worked out for me? do you think that had an effect on my kids? Nope! As a matter of fact I was told I didn’t know what I was talking about. doesn’t that sound familiar.

There was never a book written for this. The greatest parent has never lived, so we have no one to show us the ropes, we have to wing it, and learn as we go.

The reason I say all of this is because there is one force that is against us for everything, or at least they were. And that is the far left zealots who have been trying to manipulate our children’s minds, and to teach them that they don’t have to listen to their parents and that their parents are wrong and that they should do whatever they want to do, And if their parents interfered or tried to stop them they would go to jail.

From transgenderism, to out and out social destruction, to Brain Rot TV, they have been  manipulating our children against us, telling them that the world is theirs and to ignore their parents, all to achieve one goal, the destruction of the nuclear family.

I know,  sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it’s reality and it’s the truth. these are the things that are really happening, and if we don’t do something about it and try to save our children before it’s too late, well… It will be too late.

The YouTube programming that kids are watching is tailored to teach them how to disobey parents because Government will interfere and make sure that the parents can’t say anything, and that the kids can do whatever they want

Try to imagine when we were young. Our parents told us no for everything because they knew what was good and bad. But what happens if someone would have told us Yes. What if someone would have said we can do whatever we want we would have taken that metaphorical finger and taken the whole arm. We would have ran with that football until we could run no more. Just like any other human being,  if you tell them no long enough – when yes finally comes they lose their mind and they go for it.

That’s what happened with transgenderism the government told them yes and the parents had nothing to say about it so the kids ran with it they were told they could do something. It was the first freedom of choice for a lot of kids.

And then the people who screamed the most when we tried to stop it, the ones who protested the most were the men who dressed like women who claim to be women.

To each their own do as you choose with God’s blessings, hopefully, but leave our kids out of it That’s the only thing we care about. There’s rumors out there that this ideology started with two college kids claiming to be women I believe that this was started by a perverted man or men who decided it would be a good idea to push this kind of ideology on our kids.  The minds that are the most susceptible to influence, because once they have the kids the parents will follow along.

In my personal opinion all of this comes from the left those who claim their for women and women’s rights but don’t know what a woman is. The left who claims that a trans woman is a woman but still doesn’t know what a woman is. The left, who changes the word mother to birthing person. The Left, who claims that a school shooter who is trans is the victim, while the bodies of young children lay around them.

The destruction of our country has come to a stop for the moment but you all need to buckle up because when this 4 years is over we may end up going right back where we were we cannot let that happen again because if it does I don’t think there’ll be a recovery this time

This is “What really Burns me”

 

 

 

 

The future caretakers of the human race?

The future caretakers of the human race?

Skibbidy Toilet, Ohio, Opp, Sigma, Fanum Tax.

Did you get that? Did you understand when I said? Neither did I.

But the modern generation is going to start demanding pretty soon that we understand so that we can speak this made-up language that comes from a programming that even the modern children are calling “Brain Rot.”

Welcome to the generation of dumbed-down kids who are learning a completely different language by watching programming that is being fed to our children by whoever it is that creates it for what I believe to be nefarious purposes.

This programming is found on the internet, and a lot of it is now on YouTube. I would probably say the majority of it is on YouTube, and it’s in the games our children play online as well, such as “Roblox,” to name one.

This trend, or this programming, came out during the pandemic when a song was made and put to video called “Skibbidy Toilet,” which approximately 90% of American youth know this song or know what it means.

Children had to stay at home, during the pandemic, with no other human contact, and the parents had to try to find ways to homeschool our children while still maintaining employment if it was considered essential, of course.

And when the parents became overwhelmed with everything that they had to try to accomplish, we called in the one thing that works and has worked now for a while, especially during the electronic age: we called in the babysitter.

A 7-14 inch screen that a child could easily manipulate to watch whatever they wanted so long as they were quiet and let us do what we needed to do to get the bills paid.

We used to set them down in front of the idiot box, as my father called it, but no longer because somewhere someone decided that the programming on television wasn’t healthy for the kids. So instead, we gave them tablets and telephones, and this is the kind of stuff they’re watching now.

It’s hard to believe, I know. Trust me, but this programming does exist, and it is called “Brain Rot.” It’s programming created and tailored specifically for children. This is programming that is so bad and so manipulative to the children’s minds that it actually puts them into a trance. This programming, it’s so brain-numbing that Russia put a ban on it, and a lot of schools are now banning the language that is coming from these shows.

This is a sign of the intentional dumbing down of our children. The word “programming” is a very good word to be using because that’s exactly what’s happening: our children are being programmed. But what for? To what extent and to what degree?

This has gotten so bad that some teachers in some of the schools who don’t ban it are learning the language just to try to keep the kids happy and to keep them interested in learning.

In my opinion, getting rid of the federal board of education should have come sooner. The NIH should have been shut down, and Fauci should have been arrested for all the stuff that the kids have gone through, having a year or more out of school and being subjected to this type of entertainment that is doing nothing but rotting their brains.

It is a very apt name that the kids are calling this type of entertainment: “Brain Rot.”

This is the future of our planet, the children who carry on our names and our genes and our humanity. They cannot unlearn what they’ve already learned from this stuff, and taking it away isn’t going to stop it. This is a slippery slope that we’re on now, and hopefully we can maintain our balance long enough for the children to at least know the difference between that and real life.

Hang on, folks, we’re in for a hell of a ride.

This is what burns me.
