Straw objects, often in peril and in need of saving.

The Children

sick fuck kids who watch you in the forest, they will find you and hurt you.

You cant escape the children. Once you disturb one it wont stop giving up.

Guy: "The children...they're all dead...what kind of monster would do this?!"
Random cow that just appeared from nowhere: "skateboards."

The Children’s Rebellion

The Children’s Rebellion is only the best fanfic to ever be created in the history of fanfics. The Children’s Rebellion is also the saddest fanfic I have ever written. I would kill to have Aria_Cinabuns writing skills. Full on genocide.

Friend: “Hey, what are you reading?”

Me: “I’m reading The Children’s Rebellion by Aria_Cinabun on ao3, read it or I’ll pull a Chroma on you!”

Friend: “What does that mean?”

Me: “Read to find out.” 😉

it's for the children

It can be used as an excuse for anything at the end of a sentence.

Example #1
Wife: "Where are you going?"
Husband: "I'm gonna go have some drinks with the guys... but it's for the children!"
----------------------
Example #2
Government of the US: "We will be censoring the internet and suppressing your freedom of speech... but it's for the children!"

think of the children

The most dangerous words in the English language. Often spouted by single-minded individuals with (seemingly) good intentions to persuade people to curtail any given liberty instead of assume personal responsibility.

The government needs to ban all the porn from the Internet, so we don't actually have to get involved and explain our personal morality to our offspring! Please! Think of the children!
