So I have come across some crap, literal crap, on YouTube. Not going to name the video, not going to name the channel (but you may PM me for that) because I don't think the apparent concern of the video is the real intent and caters to those who are bigots. I think posting the video would diminish what I think is a valid question which I am going to expand on...
When is it appropriate to teach children about sex, sexuality, LGBTQ+ concepts and so forth?
I don't have kids, but kids are naturally curious and not stupid. Likewise, there is a point where kids need to learn about these things. I do think we should teach kids about tolerance to others and being inclusive, including that there are some kids that might have two moms, two dads, live with relatives and so on. However, I do think there are some caveats. That is, I think there is a point where it is not appropriate for a cartoon that is aimed for young kids to go into great detail such as this cartoon which is supposedly aimed for first graders (which is around the 5-6 year old range).
Do you think the video is age appropriate? I'll leave it there, not going to dissect it and tell everyone what I think is ok or not ok. I do think parents should ultimately decide when they think it is appropriate to discuss this stuff with their kid and not something on YouTube kids. I also feel there isn't "one" answer to this, every kid is different and every parent is different.
