On Netflix (probably other platforms too, but definitely on the latest Netflix shows) just about every episode about high school students is about sex. Shows like “Sex Education” beat kids over the head that sex is almost a requirement and there are some definite Weinstein vibes about how obsessed older producers and directors seem so insistent on having minors talk about anal and other sexual topics under the guise of “wow we are so progressive, look how open and free these 15 year olds talk about sex”
I think it’s great to have open communication but at a certain point it seems like perverted old men getting off to making young actors and actresses obsess over sex and tell other other young people that is the behavior to follow.

- mainpassathome 3y agobig mouth is definitely not a gen Z show
- busterarm 3y agoNetflix states that the target demo for the show is 16+. That's firmly zoomers.
- Clamchop 3y agoSex Education explores sex positivity, which includes consent, respect, and just not having any. It also deals with the subject of sex crimes and reporting sex crimes. Anathema to Wenstein types. But you say it's "definite". Assuming adults are watching in general for the purpose of being titillated by teen sexuality or, worse, that its producers have the ulterior motive of "grooming" teens en masse is cynical as shit.
