While this may seem judgmental to you, I truly believe that my statement is firmly based on Scriptural principle. We cannot be full of light and entertain ourselves with shows such as Squid Game. Romans 16:19 says, “Be excellent at what is good and innocent of evil.” Squid Game is not for Christians, no matter our age No matter if we’re 9, 49, or 99, if we choose to entertain ourselves with evil if we choose to open the door of our heart through our eyes and ears, we should not be surprised that we grow less sensitive to the Holy Spirit. If a movie or show depicts evil, gratuitously or otherwise, it fills our heart with darkness – no matter how old we are. While children may be more vulnerable to trauma by viewing this kind of violence, especially using games they are familiar with and play with their friends, it doesn’t mean that the darkness in these shows is any less dangerous for adults. You know, the TV-MA rating is deceptive and over the past several days, researching and reading comments by parents about Squid Game has been very eye-opening. Last night, I grabbed two glasses out of the cupboard to illustrate why we need to guard our heart. ![]() While they initially pushed back, further discussion helped them to understand that we are not being strict for the sake of being strict, but because God has called my husband and me to help protect their heart and spirit.Īnd this led to them setting their own strict boundaries. (I believe the why behind this goes without saying)Īs for YouTube, my kids know that they are only allowed to access YouTube in high-traffic areas of our home and only by using their Subscriber tab – not their home feed. We have banned TikTok entirely - even TikTok videos on YouTube. Instagram is not for kids….and even adults should avoid the search feed!) They are not allowed to use Instagram at all (a simple perusal of the search feed is enough to make your stomach turn. While they do have Facebook accounts, they only exist for them to use Messenger with a very select few friends and family members. In the end, we had a very serious discussion about protecting our hearts and deleted the app. The conversation I had with my son about Squid Game has spanned over several days, and even led to a family meeting where we discussed even firmer boundaries around video games and YouTube.Īs it stands, my kids know that they are not allowed to play Roblox or use social media at all.Īlthough a lot of their friends play Roblox, there were too many inappropriate games and I wasn’t at all a fan of the music my son was addicted to listening to. Don’t be afraid to be set strong and firm boundaries ![]() ![]() It boggles the mind to think that not only are kids watching this level of violence and bloodshed, but that it is being openly marketed to them without protest. You can even get Squid Game costumes and gear for your kids on Etsy. Roblox has a Squid Game game kids can play. Minecraft has several Squid Game servers your kids can join. We don’t have Netflix in our home, so this is definitely not where my son heard about it.įortnite players can join Creative Maps to recreate the Red Light, Green Light episode. Squid Game is being marketed to your kids Many of them are not learning about Squid Game from Netflix. Schools and parents everywhere are reporting that kids are roleplaying the Squid Game challenges on the playground and they are being allowed to watch it despite the Mature Audience Rating. And yet kids are watching itĭespite the Netflix TV-MA rating, kids are watching Squid Game. The violence depicted in this show is nauseating. One of the episodes depicts them playing Red Light, Green Light – a familiar playground game – except losers are shot to death. Squid Game is a South Korean series in which over 400 people agree to participate in challenges to win money many of these participants are in serious debt due to gambling and are willing to do anything for money.Īnd this is where this show takes a horrible turn. This is no shock to me – seeing as how I’ve already sworn off Netflix due to their offensive content, and by offensive I mean straight-up child porn and blaspheming Christ just for starters. If you haven’t yet heard of Squid Game, or haven’t yet read up on it, Squid Game is the newest popular series on Netflix. ![]()
