      Exactly that sort of thing! But also subtler cues, like being encouraged to react to problems with aggression without it being outright ‘said’.

      Not that aggression doesn’t have its place as a reaction, but it very much bleeds into “When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail” sort of thing.
