Calm down, take a deep breath. There's no reason to get so bent out of shape over someone merely asking for a little evidence. The parent poster has already gotten plenty of replies like yours.

Sounds you're classifying every viewpoint that is disagreeing with you as "emotional".

Nope, just observing a bunch of people making claims about "what content kids should watch" unconnected with facts or evidence, and then getting VERY defensive when this is pointed out.

When you join a conversation and nobody takes you seriously, maybe it is because everyone else in the conversation has a common understanding. In this case, everyone else in the conversation understands child development and the potential of these videos to cause trauma. It's not on us to prove it to you. Go do some research.
For some things, the potential hazards (in this case, lifelong desensitization to, or increased propensity to violence) so drastically exceed the potential benefits (in this case, a bit more profit and less work for Google), that we should proceed with the precautionary principle, rather than just saying "F-it, show em whatever, we don't yet have proof that it's bad".
Learn a bit of perspective.
