No worries, these “edgy” things are all 18+ by American standards already, American Boomers championed MPAA and ESRB ratings, Parental Advisory stickers, Satanic Panic and everything, they saw that the lack of media control in their generation had led to people rejecting societal norms, growing their hair and protesting against war so they didn’t want it for next generations, and talking about Ghibli, I actually saw adults discussing how inappropriate My Neighbor Totoro was for kids because of the bath scene… my take is that American culture is neurotically moralistic and we already got a whole generation of young adults raised the way you mentioned with the Big Tech oversight over content, who globalized that standard… I call it the eggshell generation, where you have to always be cautious about what you say because actual adults behave like children and thrown tantrums, and even just words like rape and suicide are needing warnings for being too intense.
Sure, do what you do, but I’d also hate to have kids raised on American standards and become like that, that’s why I’m glad I don’t align my views with ratings created by American Christian parents associations… if you are curious about my views https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant04-2024-07-18 (and I kinda repeated it here https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant06-2024-11-13 , and if you get really curious, there’s a bit more of cultural background here https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant05-2024-07-19)
