I always feel there are big contradictions in America. Imagine if something like this became an issue outside of the U.S., except, perhaps, if there are Morlocks [1].
Here’s a personal anecdote: I was at Miami Art Basel [0] with my family. We decided to spend a day or two at the beach. It was relatively empty, with just two noticeable groups: one couple practically having semi-clothed sex near us, and another group of two people who, by my standards, seemed anorexic.
While playing with my daughters in the sand, not hitting or kicking, just playful throws and holds where I was mostly the one falling. Those same “anorexic” individuals approached my wife to ask if our play was too rough.
Later that evening, I was searching for my mobile phone, which had been stolen. Since there was a “hard” party happening at our hotel, and I was with my daughters, security stopped me from crossing one of the exits, saying minors shouldn’t see the dancing. I replied, “I understand the rules here, but in my country, this is nothing.” For context, pogo dancing [2] is familiar to my daughters.
