Why do we need age ratings?
Age ratings are the despair of mankind, it is almost a cry for help.
We are sure that the scenes of sex and cruelty will make our children perverts and maniacs, but we themselves have long been reconciled that we like these shows.
picture with deep meaning
Ask yourself a simple question: why do we forbid children to look at sex or violence? What are we really afraid of?
Are we afraid that sex will make them worthless? Or sex, on the contrary, will become the meaning of life for them? Will our children as adults be wrong with their partner?
Maybe we are afraid that from the excess of cruelty in the film, the child himself will become cruel? Will he try to solve problems by force? Will he enjoy the sight of blood and the killings? Will he dream of killing someone?
Tell me how this spoiled child will be different from an ordinary adult?
We understand that these films spoil people, but continue to produce and watch them. We are like a fifty-year-old smoker who no longer sees the point of dumping this shit.
We all know that we are doing something wrong, that we have a strong cough, yellow teeth and fingers smell nasty of tobacco, but we continue. Because if we quit, then our teeth will not turn white, and the cough will not disappear without a trace.
As if all the adults of the world once gathered and decided to collectively give up on themselves. And when someone asked: "What about the children?" - Everyone felt ashamed and embarrassed.

With the internet now many children are bombarded with adult themed content and concepts way before their brains are ready and they mimic their intent idols innocently thinking it’s harmless fun but it’s all rewiring their minds and stripping them of their youth even faster
While kids are still able to enjoy immersive imaginations and stimulate those theta saves we should let them and not bog them down with the dogma we stuck with and allow them to explore and enjoy the magic that is the mind of a child
I too fear if I have a kid I won’t do right by them
great that you touched on this topic. the theme of "special time", which is possible only in childhood. I look around and see how the children today are different from those that were before.
digital technology in this aspect is a blessing and a curse at the same time. on the one hand, their absence gives children space for their imagination and growing up in their special children's world, but on the other hand, technologies are a powerful source for the development and knowledge of the child. but at the same time to contemplate adulthood, with all its gloomy sides.
Of course, the child will try to imitate this adult and inaccessible adult world. and this is everywhere. this is scary, because today 6-year-old children know everything about sex and are well aware that money in this world has an unconditional weight. just like adults.
I feel that you have more time to be an adult from 18 - 80 than you have to be a kid so why rush it. Enjoy having no responsibilities, no need for material desires, no need to be in the rat race and find yourself, your passions and explore who you are before you get into the world that tries to shape you and get you to conform.
Technology does have its upside but we need to manage its influence on us. Just like any external stimuli
