    Oh, these kinds of “banned books for children”… 😅

    Thank you so much for not just downvoting me, but at least enlightening me of what I didn’t get! I appreciate that! Many just downvote without making me any wiser, even when I ask for clarification… 😅

    Either way, those kinds of books are indeed not for children and are bad to be getting in candy, hands down agreed on that! I just saw “banned books” and assumed books with information that make you question the powers that be or the preset values taught… It’s ok to think differently and to critic information that only comes from one side of the story. But it of course is a bad thing to give any sexual or gorey content to children, I just didn’t think about that kind of bad when it is put in front of “books”, tbh, if it’s sexual content I’d more expect it to be ‘pictures’ then instead of ‘books’,…

    Anyway, again, thanks for clarifying!

        Damn, the bloody female-napkin, however weird it feels, is still kind of educational for girls not to be scared to dead if this ever happens, and maybe lessen the shame of it a bit too as it normalizes it a bit and it is a very common part of life that way too often still gets seen as ‘disgusting’, while it’s just nature…

        The sex-toy thing however does go over the line, though, there’s nothing educationally useful in that information. They’ll find out about those eventually anyway and there’s literally no need to specifically mention it exists to children at any age…

        What does either of those things educationally have to do with being queer, though? Call me conservative for saying this but I’d expect a book about the differences of being queer to be, well… about the differences of being queer actually, not the (slightly) taboo similarities that are controversial in any book to begin with… 😅
