Choose wisely.

What should I do with this thing?

Awwww he's smiling :D

;3

why are so many of you fucktards attracted to animals? romantically or sexually. it doesn’t matter, it’s fucked up. why can’t you just like animals normally? i understand if you like, have the desire in your mind, but acting on it by posting pictures of fox ass or whatever the fuck is so disgusting and ruins the board for the rest of us. “it’s just a troll bro keep scrolling!!!” i can’t, it genuinely upsets me, i hope you all seek help or rot in hell

Gumi-chan.

So I have a young daughter who, about 7 months ago, was practically begging me for a puppy, as kids do. And knowing what kids are like, I wanted to teach her some responsibility and empathy before we took the leap so I bought her Creatures and let her play it. A few died at first, but now she's great at caring for them and dedicates herself every day to them, and has gotten into other pet sim games too. The problem is, she's more interested in these than actual animals. I've shown her available puppies and asked her which one she'd like but she changed her mind and says she prefers virtual pets over real life pets. I imagine for most parents this is a dream come true. But I have two concerns. First of all, I'm worried about the attitude it's manifesting. It's like the pet version of "3DPD is gross, I just need my fictional anime waifu". I want her to grow up happy, healthy and successful, not end up like the NEET shitposters here (no offence). Secondly, I was ok with getting a dog, I just wanted her to develop a sense of responsibility for it. Now I feel like if I don't get the dog, she'll miss out on making so many fond childhood memories with it. But I also don't want to force a dog on her if she doesn't want it, because then she has every right to refuse responsibility because that's on me.
Not only that but she's changed her mind on animals in general and thinks playing with virtual animals is better than going outside and seeing real squirrels or feeding real ducks.
How do I convince her real animals are better than soulless pieces of data?
