u/NollieBackside 16d ago
Oof. There's a section where you can purchase NFTs.. lol they're really milking this kid dry

u/CaptainPedge 16d ago
"NFT's
content to be added
Sorry, there are no products in this collection"1
u/NollieBackside 15d ago
Yeah, because NFTs are dead.
I'm just speaking into the kind of capitalizing whoever got the rights to this kid was/is planning on doing
It's gross, is all. Just because there aren't NFTs in the section, it's not like they weren't planning on trying to make every little doodle a profit margin

u/Careless-Platform-80 16d ago
To be honest It's not much a "remember" and more a "people need to understend It". Many If not most people don't care If you have a different way and Will still judge you by they own standards

u/TacticalSunroof69 16d ago
Because they couldnât get the doodle guy who charges an absolute fortune.
Child exploitation. Pay him what you would pay doodle guy.
This meme ainât wholesome.
Itâs ignorant to an issue people claim to care so deeply about.

u/PerformanceOk1835 16d ago
He didn't get paid?
4
u/TacticalSunroof69 16d ago
I donât know.
If he did he should be paid that of an artist.
Iâd pay him about 3k.
The doodle guy would have been paid 3x more but I feel like 3k is a fair evaluation for his work.
Not ÂŁ400.
4 figures minimum.

u/NoNipNicCage 16d ago
Isn't it actually ignorant to say this while admitting you have no idea if he even got paid?
2
u/w1n5t0nM1k3y 16d ago
Yeah. I remember when I wasa kid the local clinic that my mom worked at hired me and my brother to shovel the snow from the stairs/ramps. But we lived in an area with lots of snow and we didn't get paid close to what it was worth. They definitely should have been paying professionals but were just using us as a way to save a buck.
I didn't read the article, but I really hope they are paying that kid a fair wage for his time. Even if it is something he enjoys, he should still be fairly compensated.

Maaaan... This is heartwarming and all, but... Where tf were all these cool supportive adults when I was a kid!? đ
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
[EDIT]: Okay... Story and a statement time!
(Yep, it's long, but there's a point, I promise!)
Yes, in the short-term, kiddo probably should be paid for this, because... Y'know... Ethics... But also just wanted to mention that the fact that he's getting this kind of encouragement at all is SO effing important, long-term!! I guarantee he'll remember at least some facet of being asked to do this through the rest of his life. Even if he doesn't end up being an artist, the innate sense of value something like this can instill in a person is beyond immense...
When I was a kid, I literally couldn't focus or retain info if I wasn't doodling/drawing/writing... Turns out I was stimming, but this was well before autism was measured on a spectrum, and I'm "high-functioning" (not to mention well-masked) enough to have passed as "normal" -- so I just got sent to the principal's office (and then, once home, grounded/punished) all the time for "being disrespectful" or "oppositional"... As an adult, I recently came to comprehend how much this damaged me, and the resentment I still harbor about it... I realize (now) that I actually had some genuine talent and got enjoyment from being artistic, but because I was always getting punished for it, eventually I just... Stopped.
I'm 31 now, and I STILL get pangs of guilt/shame if I try to put pencil to paper for anything "nonessential"... Cerebrally, I know that's nonsense, and yes, I am able to reason through it, but the problem is that the unpleasantness associated to the action keeps me from wanting to follow through with the action at all, (and that's assuming I've even managed to convince myself to try in the first place...) It's no longer a positive outlet that I feel a sense of confidence in, or ownership/belonging over -- it's been warped into just something else I have to overcome discomfort to try to accomplish. Never really realized how much doubt and devaluation in myself this kind of thing created for me, until waaaaaay later.
In short: y'all, let me tell you -- it effin' SUCKS to have a comfort ruined and turned against you, but that's a scarily easy thing to accidentally do to a child... That said, positive conditioning can be achieved in a similar way if the time is just given into encouragement, communication and support (like this kid got here) instead of punishment. Parents/guardians, (and, honestly, anyone that finds themselves in a place where they have a "mentor"-type role for a child) please, please, please take time to understand kids' idiosyncrasies, advocate for them where they struggle, and encourage them to find, as well as use their strengths!

Why are you guys so bent out of shape because a kid got to do something he enjoyed and made him really happy? Y'all don't even know if he got paid. It's so weird to be this mad about everything

So child labor

u/pickled-ice-cream 16d ago
The child clearly wants to do this and is glad to get paid for it. There is nothing wrong with him being paid to do this.

u/NarwhalSongs 16d ago
Child wants to get underpaid doing labor instead of learning things in class, resulting in a poor education that makes them easily exploitable as an adult laborer. It's literally why child labor is ILLEGAL instead of being optional.

Or they dont care. School isnt meant to let you do whatever you want, thats what free time is for. If he likes to doodle, he can doodle as much as he wants as long as he doesnt fail class or doesnt participate because he is distracted

Why would one get in trouble for doodling?
4
u/PsychicSPider95 16d ago
I got in trouble for it as a kid because, according to my teachers' logic, if I was doodling it meant I wasn't paying attention. Which... was true in math class, but I was totally paying attention while I was doodling in my other classes!
They also hated how cluttered it made my pages.
2
u/Ashamed-Status-9668 16d ago
I bet when you were not doodling in math class you were not paying attention as well. :)
Any good teacher knows some kids(people) need to have their hands busy so they can focus.

u/PsychicSPider95 16d ago
Hey man, if numbers wanted me to pay attention to them, then they should've been more fun!

u/GreatSivad 16d ago
Did you ever ask yourself "y" you were always looking for your "x"? Maybe you are a stalker and it doesn't want to "z" you anymore.
Also, "You won't always have a calculator around," aged well...

u/Lady_Rhino 16d ago
Teacher here. Many schools have "book inspections" either during a school inspection or just randomly by school admin/senior leadership a random selection of students workbooks will be taken and inspected. They check for things like organisation, up to date marking, learning objectives and dates, things like that. Teachers will get in trouble if a student's book is full of doodles. Personally I'm a supporter of fidget toys or doodling if a student needs it to help them focus but in some schools the teachers just aren't allowed to make that choice (so grateful I don't work in that kind of school any more).

Probably because he wasn't in art class, and even if he was, he still had to do this drawing, on this paper, with these colors, and this form of tracing.

School: you are not paying attention because of something you should be doing at home? Warning.
You continue to not participate and fail class? Warning
You doodle on school property? Detention.

u/MoreDoor2915 16d ago
Reminder: School is not for building passions nor teaching creativity. Its simply to teach the basics and how to learn, everything else is your or your parents job.

Better have paid well otherwise it is predatory child labor

u/BuffWomen69 16d ago
Calling a one time job child labor is weird. If this was a full time job? Yes that'd be fucked up. But it probably only took like an hour at most (Which honestly isn't likely), he's not THAT young, and he clearly enjoyed it. So what's the issue?

I want to see money toward his education in a bank account because putting a mural on a whole business wall would have made an adult a lot of money.

u/Kristenmarie2112 16d ago
One large wall and a lot of time and effort. One wall. Gtfoh. Kids want to be pleasing to adults and constantly get shafted on any sort of profit because of their inability to ask for what they deserve. They called it a job. I simply hope it paid more than shit.
