Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys recently made comments on an episode of her ‘don’t tell anyone‘ podcast that were highly critical of TikTok parents who use their children for content and clout, saying that they do not care about their children’s mental well-being.
The episode, which were made during a May 21st episode of her podcast, featured some highly critical comments from Pokimane, who took aim at parents for their actions regarding children on the TikTok platform, as well as other social media outlets.
“Are you really a parent if you’re being so goddamn irresponsible?” she said during the podcast (h/t Dexerto). “Sometimes, you’ll even see that the parent is click-baiting their child in inappropriate ways, whether that’s like involving nether regions or if the kid is eating something, and like the item is inappropriately shaped or what have you.”
“Their priority is clout, viewers, audience, and it is not the mental well-being of their child or their child’s future” she continued, also stating that parents go into “momager mode” to gain clicks and views in attempts to grow their accounts, and their kids accounts.
“Your kid just doesn’t need an Instagram page where millions of people are watching them eat food and half or more of the comments are shitty,” Pokimane added. “You need to make sure that anything you post with your child or with someone young in it is essentially like so tame or innocent that there is like a basically 0% chance that they might grow up to regret it.”
“I don’t give a fu*k how many dollars you make from TikTok views. You’re selling your kids’ mental well-being for a few 100 bucks? Dislike.”
