> You should think this through. The logical endpoint is that all age based content restrictions are "authoritarian".
I do think that. It's rude to assume that I haven't thought my position through.
> So it should be ok to stock movies like Martyrs[1] or Men Behind the Sun[2] in elementary school libraries, because who are parents and teachers to decide whether seeing a woman flayed to death or a child vivisected is something that a 6 year old should be allowed to see?
Sure.
> My real takeaway here is that you probably don't have children.
I don't, but I was one, and I accessed all kinds of stuff on the internet that my parents and teachers didn't want me to see. Including gross violence and sex stuff. It didn't kill me. It didn't even hurt me. I'm fine. I'm a better person for having exposed myself to those things than I would be if I'd been sheltered from them.

My real takeaway here is that you probably don't have children.

There's a horror movie about Unit 731 called "Men Behind the Sun"[1]... It's not high art or anything, but it is super disturbing... one of the most horrific things I've ever seen.
