It really doesn't make sense. Because they don't want their child to see something, it should be banned. If things worked that way, almost everything on TV would be banned.
It is up to the parent to monitor what their child does and watch, not for the whole world to please them.

Think about it. The people who judge others for having a lot of money, usually wish that they had more money themselves. It's jealousy.
Most people were raised to believe that sexuality is shameful and should be considered embarassing and be kept hidden (for example, those who wish gay people would just stay "in the closet"). Most people are raised to believe that they are evil ("sinners") and need to be fixed (religion, ideology, etc.)
If some is happy, smiling, and have self-love and celebrating their sexuality, then that will make those who were raised to believe that self-love is wrong and sexuality should be shameful jealous. They want those who love themselves to be a party of the self-pity club which says self-love is wrong and we are all inherently evil and automatically need fixing. This is why the religious tells them "to repent". That simply means to be ashamed of yourself and join the self-pity club. The gay people, for an example, who falls for this, may feel ashamed and later claimed they "changed", because they didn't have a stronger, inner, self-love and so their inner light did not shine and protect them from the darkness (the clubs of self-pity and condemnation).
Self-love scares those people in these self-pity clubs/religions/movements, because to them, it is chaos, since they control others through guilt and shame.
Those who live in fear and shame want other people to join them. This usually leads to anger, fear-mongering, and condemnation when the person is struggling to get them to join them. Sometimes, it even leads to bullying and actions of aggression. Whenever someone calls you a sheep for being yourself instead of joining their self-pitying, fearful group, or whenever a sinner to try to produce shame to get you to join their self-pitying, fearful club; just remind yourself that you deserve happiness and your freedom just like everyone else.
(Keep in mind that if a person chooses to be in those groups, then that is their choice as well, this thread was just written to show that self-love and knowing you are worthy of Joy and Freedom is a powerful Shield of Light against such lower guilt/shame/condemnation energies/attitudes.)
Love and Joy

My objection to the Kardashian clan is that they've made a living out of objectifying themselves.

Sounds like a lot of fun! But without genitals flashing about, I don't know if it would be worth it...

This is not about gay people or rich people but the jealousy and condemnation towards others that low self-esteem creates. Gay people and rich people are just examples.
