Well, i would say I'm pretty well adjusted as an adult. I guess it's not the easiest thing for me to argue because someone who isn't could say the same thing. I don't think it had much of an effect on me when i was really young because it was just one of those things people said would make sense when I'm older. Adults seemed to like this thing, but from my point of view back then they also seemed to like going to the store and filling out paperwork. It didn't really affect me because it was not something i understood, so i just ignored it. Once it got to the point where i started having those feelings myself around 10-12 years old, i had already had enough context from my parents and through osmosis that a lot of those 18+ themes made sense, and they didn't become alien or scary. I was able to go through those changes without any real shame about it because it was just a part of life. I definitely feel like if children are around that sort of thing then the parents are obligated to provide some context and help them develop a more healthy view of those themes (because the media alone definitely won't cultivate those) but kids being around those themes i don't think is inherently bad.
