this list reminds me of when i was looking at valentines for kids to give to their class and such online, and some of them were really suggestive like “i think you’re really foxy” with a winking fox and the like. i was flabbergasted, these were for CHILDREN and i remarked “may as well put a unicorn and say-“ and then my sister clapped her hand over my mouth. those valentines could’ve been on this list, they were TERRIFYING

What? Where on earth do you see the harm in “I think you’re foxy”? In my day, we used “cute,” but how is “foxy” TERRIFYING to you? Or does “foxy” mean something else in the language you speak, maybe? It’s completely innocuous in English.

Valentine for kids?!? Guess a lot of people are not familiar with the background .... do they also celebrate Mother's Day for little girls, just because they might be a mother some time in the future? Or Father's Day for little boys? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Valentine
Lakota Wolf 3 years ago (edited)
I think we are pretty far from the extremely outdated celebrations one might associate with a saint who was born almost 1,800 years ago, in the literal year 226. Trying to insist that Valentine's Day in 2023 should be about "courtly love" and "romance" only is spurious and facetious. Grandparents can wish their grandkids a happy Valentine's Day. A 6-year-old can give their classmate a "You Are Pawsome!" V-day card. Why CAN'T little kids celebrate V-day in a child-friendly way? As a schoolkid, we always gave little boxes of candy and a child-friendly Valentine's Day card to every other kid in the class. There were no implications or assumptions. No one was trying to insist that Valentine's Day HAD to be romantic/lovey-dovey, or you weren't allowed to celebrate it at all. As an aside, I believe that a little girl absolutely CAN celebrate Mother's Day... with her mother or motherly parental figure, ditto for a little boy and his father or fatherly parental figure. We don't have to force our celebrations into ancient customs that make no sense in the modern world, and we absolutely do NOT have to exclude people from celebrating and enjoying Valentine's Day if they aren't dating/a couple/in a relationship.
