It's not just the Internet either. I was at somebody's house a few months back and their kids aged between 5 through 8 years old were watching a true crime show about a male/female couple who kidnapped and tortured sex slaves in their basement. The show was going into gory details about how the women were tortured, how the kidnappers attempted to cut one of the women's vocal chords so that they didn't have to listen to her scream when they tortured her, and accidentally killed her instead. How they put this elaborate torture device over the victim's heads and squished their faces while hanging the them from the ceiling, and how they repeatedly raped the women. Like what in the absolute fuck? I'm a grown-ass man and it disturbed me. Call me old fashioned, but I don't think little tiny kids should know all the awful shit that happens in the world. Little kids should be playing with My Little Pony and wondering if they can have cookies for dinner.
Violence, and violent sex crimes against women, are completely acceptable for children *in American Puritan Media Culture. However yeah even that shocks me, but maybe because you worded it like that and otherwise wouldn't have picked up on how horrible it is because it's so normalized.
***edited to clarify my point because wow for someone who usually rambles I did NOT give enough information
