I am afraid of the slippery slope: the way things are going with our society, soon you will have to accept sexualisation of children, or you will be labelled a bigot.
So maybe it is not surprising after all that youtube is doing this.

The same communities that are most strongly in favour of normalizing all the facets of LGBTQ+ sexualities, gender identities, etc are also, generally speaking, almost fanatically devoted to the idea of consent.
Minors can't consent.
There are certainly groups of people trying to push for the normalization of pedophilia (I've seen various places talk about "Minor Attracted Persons", or "MAP", mostly in the context of PSAs warning young people to beware of them), but they are, at least for the most part, entirely separate from the people trying to make every type of sexual activity imaginable between consenting adults normal and accepted.
That's where it breaks down: they will say "well, maybe 16+ yos CAN consent after all!", and then the number will start getting lower and lower.
I mean... I hope I'm wrong. But we have gone down this road already ;)
I don't believe there has been any slippery slope : child molestation is just as horrible as it was one year or 10 years ago.
What have you seen slipping ?
