i can understand the idea that it can be shocking to kids considering the outlook on love in general in a lot of cultures (not trying to make sweeping, profound statements or anything by saying that)
i just personally don't agree with the idea of desiring the non-existence of something because it could be offensive. that just doesn't sit right with me, but i understand that some people are offended by things and i'm not going to fault them for it. it just doesn't make sense that something wholly, on its own, un-harmful in its nature and its implications shouldn't exist because of its potential to make someone uncomfortable. not to me at least.
now, if something exists exclusively unfailingly and flagrantly offensively in a manner which is undeniably rooted in legitimately problematic behaviour or intention, the perpetrator is protected, but i wouldn't stand by their decisions.
essentially this goes back to what i said before: as long as it's not hurting anyone in any legitimate manner, i probably won't have a problem with it. but i'm not going to fault someone for being offended by something, that's not my business.
blah blah blah internet blather and such. i don't care about winning anything, i just want to contribute something that can maybe help someone learn or understand something. doesn't matter so much to me that people agree, just that everyone can learn somethin nice u no
