Personally, as long as kids are getting access to good sex ed I don't see any issue with them stumbling across sexualized content online. We all did it at some point in our lives, digital or not. It's a part of growing up. I also don't think sexualized content should be seen as more problematic than violent content. If anything it should be less problematic (and to be clear I don't find either to be an issue personally)
i have bad news for most of the US for you
That's definitely something to improve, but hiding sex from online spaces is not going to help.
Oh, sure, we probably agree. A distressing amount of people have really bad takes on sex, sex education, gender, history, relationships.. a lot of things, really. Conservatives especially have egregiously bad views.
I remember when I first saw This Film Is Not Yet Rated, and I talked about it with some coworkers. An older woman and a younger woman who sat next to me in the office. Both of them 100% felt that they'd rather their kid watch a movie where people's heads got blown off than one where someone got head. I don't remember their exact argument (this was many years ago), but I'm pretty sure it was such an axiomatic belief for them it was difficult to articulate why.
Yeah, America really got fucked up by the puritans. That prudishness still runs deep. I'm philosophically very sex positive, but I get it, and I'm not immune to that shock factor either sometimes. I try my best to disregard it.
parents don't have a role in there too?
I'm not sure what you mean. Parents are ideally involved in raising their children, but there's no guarantee they'll be involved, good at teaching, teaching anything true, alive, or anything. Public education is important.
The women in Twitch use sex and interactive false sexual interest and love to get people to give them money and buy them gifts. In some ways that’s worse for kids than pornhub porn. Do you expect a 15 year old boy to be able to avoid the “stripper really loves me” trap?
Then it sounds like your actual problem is with a certain pattern of behavior rather than nudity/sexuality itself. So maybe you address your actual concern rather than something tangentially related.
