Nudity and porn are not the same things.

the thing is literally called "porn". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261189/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_2 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261189/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_2 and i doubt GGP comment would be opposed to showing actual porn to children either (he is trying to be cutesy and not outright saying it, but it is obvious).

  The cover image itself is not pornographic, IMO. If it were an image of people actually having sex, then yeah let's talk about that. But it's not. It's literally just a naked ass. Gotta be honest, I think you're reading a lot more into that comment than is necessary or warranted. That comment did not advocate for showing pornography to children. It is not "obvious". You made an assumption. I read it as a direct response to 'or another named just "Porn" with a giant naked ass on the poster.' in the OP.

Assume good faith.

    What other plausible interpretation could there be?

      The obvious interpretation is “you shouldn’t stress out about your kids seeing asses on TV”. Not “you should show porn to your kids”.

  > and i doubt GGP comment would be opposed to showing actual porn to children either It sounds like as if you were trying to accuse me of being some sort of a pedophile, come on. That’s just unnecessary. I wouldn’t be opposed to my children looking up porn on the internet. Why should I be? All you need to do is pull them aside for a conversation and make sure that they understand what they’re looking at. Pushing them to do so would be weird, they’ll find it on their own pretty soon anyway. You should have a normal healthy relationship with your children where you can discuss these things in a constructive manner. Otherwise you might be a bad parent.

    > Otherwise you might be a bad parent. This is not helpful either. You could have said what you thought without implying someone is a bad parent (in the same way that nobody should have implied that you are a pedophile).
