The strange thing is, kids don't see what we see. Kids have a whole other world in their head, I've talked with many friends when having discussions and even when we were just 13-14, we could speak of what, as grown men, makes us afraid, calmly on the balcony of his (one of them)'s dad's condo. But as toddlers up to say 8, it's even more different, the world is tiny and what made me afraid sometimes made no sense for me to be afraid (a song about milk on a classic kid's show here as they were showing a stable with cows having being sucked by the pipes of their milk and the huge container of milk and stuff...but the song was just goofy and that's it. Kids will see creepy stuff for adults and not think much of it very often...it tells about who makes them though. I mean a guy like Jimmy Saville was loved by kids on TV as this goofy looking guy who made funny jokes. Well, he wasn't that funny, but they couldn't see through him like say, right on BBC, when the Sex Pistols guitarist, Steve, I forgot his last name, who called him some brit slang for a creep, a "beep"in creep or such. But yeah, they make sure most children won't see anything stranger than what's already on tv.
And...lol...it makes me think, our roman catholic church controlled school system, we had a ministry of education in 1960 that got rid of the nuns with the wooden ruler slaps on the hands and worse but we would have once a week a class on religion in primary school and after year 6, "Religious Sciences" (doesn't make sense, but yeah). This shit ended in 2003 when the class was removed for what everyone else chose to change to when 14 year old and their parents had no say in : Morals, the rare Protestants were also made to leave the class under the stern look of Sister Cecil...I remember that batshit nun, she told me I was of the devil, lmao, when the teacher was outside the class taking care of something real quick, but she took the chance to tell me. I don't know what made her hate me so much? Only kid who was so smart, I was given extra work in grade 2 and had it skipped to grade 3? I don't know.
All this to say, at some point in grade 4 max...they had us sign a petition against the Simpsons and didn't tell us why and that we could not sign it if we didn't want, saying they were taking signatures from all the schools and sending it to the government and the tv station that showed them. Well, it didn't do a damn thing and I remember as a 10 year old...I didn't like the Simpsons that much, it was funny when it was centered on Bart and even then I didn't catch half or more of the jokes. My brother said the same. He said, when we got older and it was season 5 and the first episode of season 5 was "Cape Fear", I got hooked there, but I was 14 or so. Just goes to show that those age warnings don't mean much, as they kind of happen naturally.Simpsons were 8+ here, not even PG13, Quebec has its own ratings system, General, 8+, 13+, PG13+, 16+, 18+. They make South Park a 18+ and I guess I only started finding it funny and really smart at times when they past the first few seasons which were much more childish and shock value humour centered, but starting season 4-5...yeah, I was 18-19 then and yeah I found it hilarious, while season 1 only intrigued me.
But I didn't have no disorder but mild ADD, I have to admit.

Those nuns got demons, the demon in her told you that you were evil. Catholic Church is very demonic! Poor you for having to endure this

The believing Roman Catholics went on a rampage on you here, you're lucky it was just downvoates.
I got more respect for Orthodox Catholics...it's closer to Maanachiism which was later renamed Gnosticism by the Roman Catholic Church.
