I'm not confident that all kids could be like you, though. Even as an adult, I'd find it pretty disturbing if I were flipping through a book I liked, starting to identify with the main character, and then turned a page to see some side characters discussing their graphic sex fantasies about her.
I'm not confident all adults can handle listening to Joe Rogan, but I'm not running around trying to limit its access.
