If you’ve grown up as a kid only having access to the internet in the last 6 years or so, yeah I could see how Idiocracy might be shocking. The dialog in that movie is the antithesis of the status quo nowadays. For a kid without context about the satirical and parodical nature of the film, they might think that the movie was endorsing that kind of language.
It would take some guidance from a guardian on what it means, why its relevant, and why its actually become important over time.

That’s nuts. I remember being 11 years old and one of our friends snuck a copy of South Park’s Bigger, Longer, and Uncut they stole from their older brother over to my place, and when they started singing the “Uncle Fucker” song, we lost our minds laughing, fumbling for the remote to turn down the volume before the neighbor ladies overheard and got us in trouble lol
It’s crazy how much Tiktok has normalized censorship for this generation
Really good point. Historical context is key
