Some people overestimate the impact that brief exposure to certain concepts has on children. For example, I watched shows like Captain Planet as a kid, which promoted causes like environmentalism. I wasn’t consciously aware of the viewpoints being presented, and they definitely didn’t turn me into an activist as a child. Young children are primarily drawn to entertainment and often don’t engage with complex ideas or deeper messages at that age.

I have to imagine that most children don’t even realize that same sex couples are in a relationship or a character is trans while watching shows.

Children are sponges when it comes to learning.

The trick with propaganda is that it subconsciously affects your mind, to the point you won't realize until it is too late.

It is no secret why most FAANG are in advertising: Meta, Google, Netflix (movies and shows are just another form).

They are in the business of controlling your mind - doing this to children is immoral, especially when it comes to their health and identity.

If children are sponges when it comes to learning why do we wait until high school to let them learn eg calculus? And why censor anything from them? Seems like MORE exposure to ideas is better than less. The kids’ll sort out the truth for themselves when they inherit the earth.

I mean, his dad appears to possibly be a 'friend of Epstein' (colloquially, not literally), so there's likely some amount of suppressed something or other going on.

It would be pitiable if he hadn't already burned through 1000x his allotted pity credits (even only in the last 6 months).

I think Elon would find that there are plenty of other kids TV shows that he would approve of on Netflix, so what's the ratio at which it becomes 'pushing an agenda'?

Elon has fallen into that classic trap of 'it exists, but I don't like it, so I must cancel it!' rather than what a normal thinking parent would do, and not allow your kid to watch that one show.

You know, parenting...

There are lots of shows I don't like on Netflix, I just scroll past instead of having a public tantrum.

But I'm not a ketamine addict either.

He is an Attention addict. Just like Trump. They keep churning out shit everyday to get people to pay Attention to them. Why else buy Twitter/start truth social etc. So that their drug keeps flowing.

Their biggest source of anxiety in life is enough people aren't paying attention to them. Anything else that captures more Attention is an automatic existential threat. Netflix captures a lot of Attention. Therefore its a threat.
