If you think "children should not be allowed in this space," you HAVE TO reckon with the fact that you are now excluding parents (and very often women specifically) who don't have access to childcare. You are isolating people who are poor, or rural, or single parents, or any number of other factors that might prevent someone from having on-demand childcare. You are cutting them off from being able to exist in public. You are denying parents and children the ability to fully participate in society.

My mom spent several years only leaving the house to buy groceries or take me to school, and even then, people would still come up to her to complain TO HER FACE about how she shouldn't bring a crying toddler to Walmart. Entitled strangers would literally try and demand that my mom leave and come back without the kids.

"Why can't your husband watch them?" Because he was at work, usually working extreme amounts of overtime so we didn't get evicted, because landlords don't like it when you stop paying rent.

"Why can't you send them to daycare?" Because that costs money.

"Why can't your teenager stay home with them and babysit?" Because I also deserved to be able to leave the house for something other than school, and taking me to the grocery store was how my mom taught me to manage a household budget, shop sales, and meal plan.

"Don't bring your kid in public if you can't CONTROL them and make them stop crying!" Kids cry when they're upset, and being dragged around a store is upsetting! Don't be an asshole! Children are human beings who are still learning how the world works, and they don't have a lot of agency. You'd cry, too.

"Spank them until they learn to stop crying!" That's just straight-up child abuse, Jesus Christ.

Team cherry said themselves that all endings are canon. And I agree because frankly, canon is anything that is in the game. To silksong, Embrace the void might be the preexisting ending. In the case of every other ending hollow knight provides, most damningly, Sealed Siblings, Silksong might not have happened. And that is still canon. Alternative routes exist, but just aren’t explored.

It is for certain that Silksong takes place after Embrace the Void (with the delicate flower) when completing the Sister of Void ending, but it could also happen after the Hollow knight ending. The infection will, (probably) at some point, take over hallownest once again, but hornet could still be kidnapped. The problems arise in Silksongs Sister of Void ending when following this up. Well, simply put, it just can’t happen if following the Hollow knight ending, because Ghost’s shade is not only stuck to their body, but also wasn’t become the Shade lord. So in this case, Hollow knight ending cannot predate Sister of Void. But to put restrictions on Silksongs endings based on your hollow knight endings would be kinda silly, so of course they didn’t do that. You just assume that it takes place after Embrace the void.

Why I believe in the alternative routes so much is because both Silksong and hollow knight have parallels in their endings. Either you take the “source of the plight” straight on without much thought, (GMS & HK), OR you think ahead and try to find the solution that actually fixes the problem. (Sister of Void & Embrace the Void)

Or, you just fuck around and find out (Sealed siblings & cursed)

Im just tired of people claiming “canon” to endings when no, it’s just exploring an alternative route. And how convenient is it that they explore the most interesting route which allows Hornet to do all these things. (Not convenient at all, it’s deliberate)
