I was not trying to argue, in fact I tried to actively avoid that impression, that it is all just fake outrage. Eg. I guess there is quite some deliberate provocation in play too, as there usually is. What I would say is that there is also a prong of fake outrage involved, grounded in some of the popular culture war tropes so many forces thrive on. Which is what makes the debate about this and most other topics so difficult, that this outrage culture already took hold of it. But I am sorry to have put this aspect here, one that is not all that specific and to me would work in almost any other thread as well.

When it comes to sex education the right is dead set against it for fear it will lead to promiscuity vs all the studies that show educating children leads to safer sex and actually reduces teenage sexual activity.

In general there is a trope that the left hates guns and violence and the right hates sex and nudity...especially in pop culture buy also in the way the two sides approach their public platforms.

Many on the left want stricter gun laws and agree with public nudity being allowed.

Many on the right want to ban all pornography (as they define it) but encourage permit less  or open carry.

Personally I'd rather have my kids see a naked person in public than have to worry about them getting in the middle of shootout.

But I also feel citizens have a right to both.
