Is this an ethical solution?
Forums › General Discussion › Is this an ethical solution?-
I am 18 and my little brother is almost 12. I got him into playing this game, and I am stronger than him. Since he is still little, I often have to babysit him with my little sister (she doesn't have this game) and when we argue too much or he irritates me badly, I feel motivated to attack him. I do not excessively cap turfs, only attack him a couple times. He hates it (that's understandable) but I am trying to show him that he needs to behave better and be more respectful at times.
My question for you all is; would threatening to attack be a good way for him to behave better in real life?? The fear of losing $ and going to the ER in my opinion should motivate him to act more maturely, but I am still on the fence on this issue and need more opinions.

Mature him through video games? I'm no parent but that seems a little ridiculous

Violence solves everything...

No, TW is a game. Use it to reenforce positive and negative gaming lessons, but not RL stuff. Btw, your first lesson can be about fights and their relation to experience (a good thing generally speaking).👍

Hmm...that's an interesting way to teach good behaviour. It doesn't sound too bad. However your brother might get mad at you for attacking him and decide to argue with you more. Might want to think about that.
Btw, what if he asks a nearby player stronger than you to help him attack you back?

Well, I'm talking about attacking him to teach him about respecting who's in charge. It's not always to the ER, it's just an attempt to get him to control his temper.

But you should find a real life situation. I think hitting him in turf wars will make him go farther in a corner as brine frustrated. He may also see you as a cowered for not standing up. You want to teach him to stand up fr himself in person not through a video gameWell, I'm talking about attacking him to teach him about respecting who's in charge.

Well, it's not about standing up for himself; it's about respecting those in authority. It's not about just me, but he talks back and argues with my parents as well, so I personally feel that he would develop the idea of me attacking him when he irritates me too much

Won't work
I have 3 younger siblings -
Great idea! Hit him where it hurts and he will learn to respect others
-
Haha I doubt it will work. What if he becomes stronger than you and tax rapes you turf? 😂😂

True... How old is the little guy? 😉

I am 18, he is 12 in a couple days

No words can explain how rediculous this sounds.👎(to me)
This almost sounds like justification on your part. And why on earth are you responsible for parenting your siblings? That's sad and I feel sorry for you. I admire you for caring enough to do so, and showing your little brother stuff his big brother does. -
Cute well if he's that old he should be maturing anyways, if I were you I would take him out to do something fun/life changing like hunting or more for his age airsoft and paintball
-
It's a good way to get him to listen for now, unless he just ups and stops caring about the game, will in turn, teach him if he just stops caring about consequences he can go about life doing as he pleases. Kids need RL consequences to fully understand responsibility in the long run.

How the hell was I dragged into this? Lol.Deja Vu. Hyena you should tell him what you learned.
My thoughts are treat it like a game of football. What happens on the field stays on the field, and don't bring onto the field outside baggage.

So your little brother has no respect for his elders yet he can have his iPhone and play video games. Maybe take some of his privileges away
