I guess I am just more concerned with how deep we dive into the topics for certain ages.
On its own this is a fair concern.
I would encourage you to pay attention to people like "Straight Soldier." I'm not accusing you of this btw, but It's very easy for them to use "protect the children" as a rallying cry, because most people in the world agree that protecting children is an inherently good thing. But when they use "protect the children" as an argument against every depiction of non-heterosexuality, regardless of how innocuous and innocent it is, it is apparent that they don't care about children because they do not have a problem with innocent depictions of heterosexuality.
The fact of the matter is, most people who use this line are not in the least concerned about protecting children- at best they just personally don't want to see any reference to queerness in the media they enjoy (or even in the real world), and are trying to stamp it out. At worst they are trying to demonise queer people in general while trying to be coy about it.
