i will be told just is the way it is, and not a big deal. if i go on to discuss all the shit that is available in our home, what movies and hbo series are normalizing, how the porn women are treated, how it is effecting people and more... actually tell about the porn itself, they have never seen i hear

no, dont tell me. i dont want to hear. eeeew, eeeew. that is so bad. i dont want it in my head

and i look at them and say, you a grown adult cant handle even listening to it but have no interest in the kids being fed this garbage.

ignorance makes no sense to me.
