It’s Big Mouth. Godawful bullshit cartoon about 11-12yo kids hitting puberty, guided by “puberty demons” that essentially force sexual behaviours onto the kids that they otherwise wouldn’t do.
I think you missed the point. The demons are a personification of their inner urges. The arguments the kids have with them are a metaphor for how confusing and awkward it can feel to balance those urges with outwardly trying to appear “normal” at that age.
I’m sure it tackles potentially important issues, but 90% of the show was crass sex jokes played on underage kids.
And while I do understand that most kids go through puberty quite early - much earlier than laws would have you think, really - but depicting them the way BM did was often very clearly minor sexualisation.
Also just FYI the internet is still bigger than the US. I grew up in Hungary and got a pretty solid sex education, starting from grade 4 through 8, addressing both the more clinical side as well as the personal side of things, without necessitating the constant depiction of 11-12yo kids (cartoon kids are still kids, sexualising them is still paedophilia, period) masturbating in various fucked up situations… So please don’t start talking in the royal plural. “We” might cover the US, but outside your third world shithole, there do exist countries that aren’t ass-backwards and have proper sex ed.
Not from the US either, thanks. Ironic that you assumed I was. We did get sex ed from about age 9-10, but it was not in the same breadth or depth as this show.
I would interpret it as explicit rather than sexualised. They are horny teenagers, and the show doesn’t shy away from how that affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. The characters are also really obviously cartoon caricatures in appearance, and behave in massively exaggerated fashion. It goes so far past reality that I’d say only cultural hangups or predispositions could make one interpret it as actually sexualised.
No idea what shown you’re talking about… And not sure how to search for it without showing up in the Epstein Files 2: Electric Boogaloo.

It’s a metaphor lol, no drawings were raped in this production.
Big Mouth is the sex education we should have had as teenagers
Sorry but no.
