      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.

      • 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

    Its pretty non representative of prisons where I’m from, and I do not want my kids thinking this is what prisons should be, so hard pass as a concept. Also visually looks a bit naff.
