How can you expact a 6 year old to decide for themselves what's offensive and what's not?

Except most of the comments are not saying 'let a small child decide what's offensive', they're saying 'use problematic themes/elements in media as a learning experience'.

That said, I don't recall my brother or I being particularly censored from anything as children (media wise - hello Jaws at age six XD), and we grew up pretty well rounded and versed on 'this is fiction/don't do this at home'.

Word. I always feel kind of weird when people talk about censoring thongs from their kids, because that's not how I grew up, and I turned out fine. (Fun fact: when I was 11, I heard the word 'masturbate' in a film I was watching with my parents. I asked them what it meant. My dad turned awkward and was all "You don't need to know". My mom told me to look it up in the dictionary. I did. And guess what? No mental scarring.)

And 6 is actually not that young. By 6, people are going to school. And reading. At that point, they're perfectly capable of discussing things with problematic elements. Trust your kids, guys!

censoring thongs from their kids

AYRT

Well, I do understand that I guess - only they're going to be exposed to it sooner or later anyways. Like I've watches a whole class of 8/9 year olds request Soulja Boy. Which...yeah. And my friend's 9 year old sister apparently likes Katy Perry's song "Peacock".

But I do understand people's desire to screen sex/violence related things. I think in my last comment I kind of got mixed up between the two things "people who aren't sheltered don't grow up weird and messed up" and "kids are able to understand some issues better than you think". The latter is what I meant to convey in regards to this secret. Sorry for confusing things!
