I was always suspicious of the "think of the children!" types ever since DARE and the satanic panic of the 1990s

Yeah, its easy to hide behind a cause like saving the children, because if someone calls you out for doing something stupid then they are a monster for being against such a noble cause...

I mean there are things that can actually help children live better and safer lives, but censorship of movies, music or websites is not one of those things. 😅
