True, and I don't want to jump the overprotective-parent gun here, but what I think is worth keeping an eye on with these videos is how they are not an underrepresented group expressing their creativity, but rather a very well represented group targeting a vulnerable audience. There are no easy lines to draw, but I think it does bear further scrutiny and discussion (especially from folks used to defending forms of media from demonization.)

I think that's the stance that parents should have. As a non-parent, I respect that the line between silly-but-harmless and silly-and-harmful can be very blurry. You are trying to see the world through two different sets of eyes, and those are going to conflict. It can be a tough call on where to draw the line because while I very strongly believe in free-speech and freedom from censorship for adults, I understand that for children it's completely different. Especially when all children are not the same.

Ultimately I think it's important to know what your children are looking at and watching, especially when it comes to the internet.
