Its not paranoid in any way at all. What youre into as a kid is likely what youll develop and grow into your teens and then into adulthood.

While I agree controlling every aspect of a childs life is not healthy, monitoring what they consume, especially media, is certainly necessary.

It sounds like you’re advocating for a small child at the age of 8 to be autonomous in his decisions of whats best for him, which is retarded. An 8 year old doesnt know whats best for them. Sure they have interests they lean towards more than others and that should be encouraged, but I agree with OP’s concern that watching feminized shows where women are fulfilling traditionally male roles is not healthy.

You would know this if you read the sidebar about how men in western society are being rose to be more feminine. OP is one hell of a brother looking out for the masculine development of his little brother. This kind of shit can snowball and completely destroys someones perception of reality, leading to transgenderism and other learned mental disorders.

Yeah.

Read about Erikson's theory of developmental stages. (It explains a lot about how stereotypical beta behaviors form)

This is actually critical to young children's development.

I see so many men here with issues with mistrust (especially of themselves) shame, guilt, self-doubt, and inferiority.

That all develops from age 1-9, after which it's very difficult to break such thinking habits.

It's typically a result of controlling, condescending parental figures, who don't take time to talk deeply to their kids about their needs and wishes.

What youre into as a kid is likely what youll develop and grow into your teens and then into adulthood.

I sure did.

When I was in grade school I was into violent video games. Mortal Kombat, Postal, the original DOOM. Don't know if that tells you anything. I saw plenty of classic 70's and 80 R-rated action movies. Lots of violent role-playing and fighting with my siblings. Plenty of shooting guns off in the woods with my uncles.

So, naturally, I grew up to be a submachine gun toting rapist berserker, with gender identity conflict.

You wanna know why I didn't do that? Because I put as many things as I could grab, into my mouth and NOW I HAVE IMMUNITY TO THAT CRAP!

Also, I'm not a psychopath/sociopath that makes a huge difference.

monitoring what they consume, especially media, is certainly necessary.

Or what? They'll get their precious lil' feelings hurt?

You don't have kids, I take it. This is impossible to do. However well intentioned.....it just doesn't work. Punish a kid for eating dirt, it makes it all the more fun for him the next time he does it.

An 8 year old doesnt know whats best for them.

I think we can both agree that a disturbing number of adults don't either.

I mean, just check out the rate of new pickup sales versus the rate of retirement savings.

You would know this if you read the sidebar about how men in western society are being rose to be more feminine.

Including such traits as Give-a-Fuck-Itis. Fuck that, the OP is being too feminine himself.

looking out for the masculine development of his little brother.

He insecure like everyone. He thinks controlling his kid brother's thoughts and feelings is a better option, instead controlling his own.

This kind of shit can snowball

History lesson: The slippery-slope / falling-dominoes theory wasn't true about Cannabis, Vietnam, Eastern Europe, gay marriage, abortion, or what have you. It's always been a case of the disease trying to sell itself as the cure.

But sure, maybe you're lucky this time around.

and completely destroys someones perception of reality,

Everybody's perception of reality is being destroyed every day. Embrace this kind of destruction, or else suffer and stagnate.
