Very evidently exposing children to toxicity like 4chan/racist gaming chatrooms is harmful to development, why would it be any different when letting them watch anything on their phones

Normalize keeping children away from the obscene and stop letting grown adults normalize exposing weird shit to children, should be obvious innit

It used to be frowned upon to let them watch violent movies, hence the rating system for media, as it was common sense that more exposure to violence has a bad influence and normalizes it.. but now we live in clown world

>everything abnormal is celebrated as cultural progress

How about men dressed as over the top caricatures of women that want to read books to children and dance around for them?
