Koh's not saying you should expose your kids to everything. He's saying you're overreacting. The fact that your first example after this statement is a pornographic game about raping indiviudals which has been BANNED IN THE UNITED STATES. The only game to have been banned in Argentina. The company that makes the game doesn't even distribute it anymore and never intended to do so outside of Japan.
