Have you seen the show Sex Education? I feel that one did it really well without being overly crass, and it was also a pretty good show too.

Sorry but no.

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.

I am not even sure if I did finish S2 of Big Mouth. But I kind of agree with your statement. It is definitely better than whatever they do in schools.

I got the point. My issue with the show was the constant over-sexualisation of minors. Almost every single episode was "main character, 11yo boy, jerks off in most inappropriate places/in most inappropriate ways, gets caught, learns life lesson".

The issue isn't even the excessive masturbation, but the excessive need to depict it. First time funny, second time funny, third time (we're still in the first episode!) eyebrows get raised, but when he's jacking off on-screen for the 50th time and we're barely halfway through the first season, now that makes me think "hey maybe the writer's not so disguised fetish is watching kids masturbate"... and that thought isn't really without reason, is it now?
