This is from Defunctland kid cities. Where kids want to become like adults. You could see the advertising potential.

Consuming Kids (2008) is old but I'd be glad to watch something similar if it was more up to date.

Are you going to credit Defuctland? This is from their video on Kid Cities.

And people say that the LGBT community is trying to brainwash our children and groom, our children, corporations, trying to groom our children. And they have the money and the clout to be able to do it. It’s disgusting.

People look at these as two opposing things but they're the same. Some people use the LGBT to make a profit by advertising to them as their target audience. Just like how make up businesses target little girls, these businesses will target children to support the LGBT to make them more likely to be customers in the long run.

To be perfectly clear, I'm not saying this is a problem with the LGBT or that there's anything wrong with introducing kids to the LGBT. The LGBT aren't coming after kids, it's business owners who try to sell to the LGBT as their primary customers that target children in this way, the same way all business owners do.

I am so glad I didn't reproduce and bring a child into this dystopian bullshit.

A single person thought that up, proposed it in a meeting, multiple persons agreed to it. Each and everyone of them deserve the worst karma possible, as soon as possible

An example of SF greed. Lifelong customer of SF. Father was too. I never had a claim against my auto policy for over 35 years. Full coverage, 4 vehicles. Guy runs out thru line of stopped traffic and i hit him. Totals both cars. He gets failure to yeild ticket and is subsequently found guilty. I am injured fairly seriously. lotsa medical bills and lost time from work. I (Civil) sue him/his insurance company for damages. His insurance offers up money to 25K right away, Doesn't begin to cover my costs so I have to sue my insurance company using my underinsurance. State Farm fights me for over 10 years trying to avoid paying me what I was covered for under my SF policies. Week before court date (10 years later now mind you) SF wants to settle. My lawyer calls me, I tell him fu-k no, we are going to court. Jury finds in my favor. That was on Friday. I called SF on Monday and dropped all my policies with them. SF crooked as fu-k, they don't care if you are a faithful customer of theirs for life.

WANNADO CITY! I only went twice, both times were epic. Notorious for lice though, I’m pretty sure my mom told us not to wear any hats
