Some Words on “Big Mouth”
Everyone is bitching about this show and i am fed up.
It is NOT CHILD PORN. It is an animated series with animated characters played by adults. If it was child porn it would be, what’s the word? Oh yeah: ILLEGAL
It is also not there just to be vulgar. For some god-forsaken reason people seem to think that the discussion of puberty in general is vulgar and raunchy. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE SHITTY SEX ED. These things need to be talked about. It’s natural, and if the show happens to use certain personifications of hormones and whatnot, that’s fine because it can be hard to explain those things as abstract concepts. Either way, they need to be explained, because i have news for you, we all go through puberty. Yes, even you shocked and horrified people pretending that nothing on the show ever actually happens in real life. Puberty does happen, it’s gross and confusing at times, and its a lot easier to handle if we have an open discussion about it.
As far as “that scene” that everyone is mentioning, first of all, why didn’t you complain when they showed all those dicks in the first episode? Why is it okay for the male characters to explore themselves and masturbate? You wait til now to become outraged? Really? Maybe its because it’s a girl’s genitals, and we can’t possibly talk about that can we? This is why there are women in their twenties who can’t navigate their own reproductive systems. The scene may not be for everyone, but God bless it for actually ATTEMPTING to educate people on what a vagina is and how it works. They don’t portray the bits in lurid detail but they actually have the balls to address something that no one else is willing to. The problem here is people who still think that women are asexual creatures who should remain untouched, and that all teenage boys experience the same version of puberty that is something to be used as fodder for jokes in primetime TV or low-brow comedies.
I get this show may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you don’t like it, you (gasp) don’t have to watch it. No one is forcing you to, it has no effect on your quality of life. You also don’t have to post about it like you have a right to be outraged. Because you don’t. It’s a cartoon with some social consciousness and sadly it works better for sex ed than our actual sex education systems.
