Noah BerlatskyA little review of #Netflix's delightful toy making reality show, #MakingFun. https://noahberlatsky.substack.com/p/making-fun-iswell-fun
Trey Roady@nberlat It is troubling, however, how they model shop safety. They play around with frighteningly dangerous equipment and do things that would get them kicked out of a properly managed shop.
@eccentriccog that's interesting; I don't know anything about shop safety protocol, so...
@nberlat Neither do kids 😕
The best example I can think of is when they play games with their tools around the shop. There's stuff like: always wear your safety goggles, etc., but there's a good reason why most kid-adjacent hobby shows are downright obnoxious about "Here are the steps to take for safety, always ask an adult, etc."

@nberlat Credit to Naomi Wu for pointing this stuff out a ways back when it first came out.
