No joke here. I just think stuff like this is interesting.

    Additionally, it seems like suburban Americans love making these pedo accusations while pretending the US isn’t a hotspot for global pedophilia.

    Like, have these people ever even seen a Japanese middle school? Look at those kids and tell me unironically they’re being sexualized.

    Yes it’s still weird as hell to sexualize kids in media. Gee I wonder where they picked up that habit from as a colony of the West.

    American 12 year olds regularly walk around in crop tops and “leggings” and a kid can’t walk 100 feet in America without being sexually harassed by old men.

    Just more typical “x is bad in bad country, but good in good country” rhetoric from the right and liberals. Oh look they united again, I just can’t stop seeing it happen for some reason.

      I’m not saying America doesn’t have these problems. I’m saying America doesn’t put these things so directly in the media that you actively have to avoid it.

      violence on the other hand, is a whole different story. You wanna avoid acts of violence in American media? You practically can’t.
