RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.

I just can't even stand the personality of someone who's first fucking instinct when they see violent or sexual media is "If I don't like it no one should be allowed to see it." Fuck off.
The worst are the people who are ok with their kids watching extreme violence or gore, like a SAW movie, but freak the hell out if their kid might see some exposed breasts, let alone a sex scene.
That's victorian era morals super charged by protestant evangelical puritanism. Kids are perfect innocent angels that become hyper corrupted by the sin of nakedness and the flesh.
The USA never seems to get past this in particular.
It's not exactly subtle
That’s a rehash episode they did years or even decades later (hard to say with the simpsons offhand) when the writing got a lot more “phone it in”. The episode they tweet references an episode from the second season and she’s mad about itchy and scratchy, the meta cartoon inside the show.
As others have said though this argument predates the simpsons by basically the entirety of modern human existence
Where’s Poochie?
He died on the way back to his home planet.
Sorry you had to find out this way.
$0.02: Whenever it's an immediate gut reaction with a disproportionate response like that, it's un-diagnosed trauma; the stimulus is a trigger. Sad part is, "fixing" that involves access to really good healthcare, and a strong will to change one's self in order to not feel like that anymore. What's worse is that, statistically speaking, the abuse is usually perpetrated by someone they know (e.g. family member), which makes it extra hard to accept and overcome.
Meanwhile, we have free support systems (e.g. "religion", TV, Social Media) that encourage and directly exploit mal-adaptive behavior and triggers.
