    Can anyone provide any actual evidence that says this kind of thing makes children’s lives worse? I was pretty uncensored as a kid and I’m honestly really grateful for it, i feel like it helped me adjust to the adult world well before my peers.

    Honestly the things that got to me as a kid more than anything else was violence and the news. I recognized stuff like family guy to be fake and silly, but seeing and hearing about people getting killed or severely hurt in media and the news was sometimes traumatizing.

      This might be controversial, but are you certain you’re the most well adjusted adult despite having relatively few boundaries as a kid? Kids (talking 10 and under) shouldn’t be subjected to media or adjacent media that deals with 18+ adult themes. Period. That doesn’t even take into account maybe adults don’t want to see children at a QA panel for a 18+ show.

      It’s not only for the children’s sake but also for the adults. Adult spaces are adult spaces meant for adults. Adult spaces bring people peace of mind when they know there won’t be children around because they won’t need to worry about a child’s needs or behavior (and children can sometimes behave terribly). Having spaces that are child-free also mean adults can enjoy sharing in sensitive topics that children should not be privy to.

      Nobody said it makes a child’s life worse. They’re not even talking about that.

      It’s about kids being in places made for adults.

      Like bringing a kid to a bar.
