It’s one of the weird cognitive dissonances that I grew up with from the Christian church as a kid. They would say these things so casually, but then refuse to talk about sex or bodies. It’s just… bizarre. And took some unpacking and unlearning to get to a healthy place about bodies.
Why is body related violence so casually referred to, even in children’s books, but then they try to breeze past the weird sex stories in there at the same time.
It was just… weird. It’s still weird. I can’t help but shake my head and thank my lucky stars I got out of there when I did, right at the beginning of adulthood.
Sorta like how everybody in America is totally fine showing kids movies where the characters violently fight and die, but God forbid they see a bare breast (like they fed on as babies).
Oh pls I suckled on the teat of the milk gun like all good Americans
Just trying to visualize a milk gun is it a water gun filled with milk or a normal gun that has tits that lactate
Wouldn't you like to know librul. You'll never take my milk guns away!
Por que no los dos
And God forbid that there be any implication that anyone is gay, or else we're going to have to illegally sanction Disney again.
I guess the nature of seeing breasts in movies is sexual/male gazey, and therefore not super appropriate for children. But yes, neither is extreme violence.
