Interesting point, didn't think about it.

Makes you question how the "policemen vs thieves" game should be treated nowadays

the “policemen vs thieves” game

Honestly, when I was growing up, there was never anything more to it than just running around. It was a glorified hide-and-seek.

Yeah definitely my feeling too. A variant of the "wolf" one

[-] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 10 months ago

Oh yes, that one never made any sense

Military vs. civilians looks more like the current way of things, sadly

To be fair it ain't the most problematic children's game ahaha

Anyone remember "Who is afraid of the black person"? It was a game often played by kids at least in my country and my god I never realised the racist implications until way later!

That game should warrant some interesting research. What split between generations/areas/other factors implied it being about skin color and which were running away from this

Thanks! I'm still struggling with lemmy markup and it seems I used an url to a wikia-resized variant
