@Li@tech.lgbt
so i've come to the conclusion you're just ragebaiting, unless you're being sarcastic?
so you make the claim that most 8 year olds would choose to go to school over playing roblox, and this is abusive.
let's debunk this.
"Adolescent development" by laurence steinberg
this shows the socio-emotional system, which controls reward cycles like those provided with roblox, start developing at a very young age and finish at puberty.
the cognitive control system, which acts as a counter balance to prevent reward cycles from consuming your life entirely, does not fully develop until the mid 20s.
"Stanford marshmallow experiment"
proof that nearly all people will choose 1x immediate reward over 2x delayed rewards. you claim an 8 year old is capable of making the delayed gratification choice (going to school) over instant gratification (roblox).

@stag@mk.absturztau.be @Li@tech.lgbt "if a bigot sends you a scientific article, you should read it because it wont say what they say it says" admittidly ive been focusing on the fact that your rights and autonomy and personhood are not and should not ever be dependant on what some study says or how well your 'developed" because duh. your own source says within the first few lines that this its seems to be caused by societal factors, such as economic background, not an inherient thing
