Talk:Peekaboo

Object permanence discussion out-of-date/discredited

This article seems to indicate that young children are not aware that an object still exists if it's outside their vision. If you follow the link in this article to "object permanence", you'll notice that this idea is considered discredited in modern psychology. Some revisions are thus in order on this page so as not to perpetuate a discredited theory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.216.78 (talk) 06:59, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This recent edit (diff)

This very partial take on the general idea of peekaboo seems dubious as is. At the minimum, it needs a clearly labeled separate section. "According to a critical essay by X" obviously belongs with several of the statements that are inappropriate, as is, in the encyclopedia's editorial voice; for example, the encyclopedia should not be stating that the messianic age is an adult peekaboo anticipation of the off-screen, etc. Moreover, since this section isn't about the game, the fact that an essayist has hung it on the term "peekaboo" may not make it appropriate for this article; isn't object permanence the more general article about the cognitive phenomenon, and wouldn't the section on adult "peekaboo" phenomena belong there?

Peekaboo look

What about peek-a-boo look and similar avt. that flow around - eg:

Veronica Lake is shown when she was the "peek-a-boo look" movie star in the 1940s. Metamorphius (talk) 22:37, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing vandalism

This article was vandalised on December 13, 2013. I have restored the entire lead para. This was made worse because ClueBot began reverting the editors who tried to fix the article. --Greenmaven (talk) 00:58, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Racist dog whistle

The Guardian says:

"Trump called James “racist and incompetent”, also using a nickname some observers have said may itself be a racist dog whistle.".

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/12/trump-forbes-magazine-wealthiest-people-list

Coyly, they don't say what term he used; but they link to his post on Trump Social, and apparently it's "peekaboo".

But I can't find anything else that says "peekaboo" is a racist dog whistle. Is this claim correct, and if so, why? MrDemeanour (talk) 10:01, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
