I find it stranger year over year that we keep turning the world into a functionally shittier place for all but the owner class, yet we keep insisting on raising children to believe they have sunshine and lollipops waiting for them in the world.

Fuck that. And I say that as a parent. My kid watches Hazbin Hotel, Archer, Rick and Morty, etc, and context is provided.

Have fun lying to your kids through omission by pretending the world is fair, wholesome, and rated G until they're a tween though. Most of them already know the shit you tried to hide from them through their friends unless you sequester them at home which is also a disservice to them.

It's a panel. Let's say some parent takes their kid there.

The parent is either:

Cool with the kid seeing what they're about to see and won't make a fuss
Oblivious to what fandom their kid is interested in because "phone" and "babysitter" are synonyms to them, but they're about to find out.
A Christian hyperkaren deliberately bringing their kid to an adult panel because they want to freak out and go to the press and nucleate a moral panic that will result in death threats for many of those involved.

You're a panelist. Do you moderate your language and behavior because there's kids present, or do you take the risk and give the audience what they signed up for?

Pretend the kids aren't there, no moderation. There's no reason to be uncomfortable about kids showing up to an adult space, you do not have to accommodate them.

If the hyper Karen wants to make a moral panic then they're gonna try to make a moral panic with or without kids. Even in your example the kids are just a prop to do what they already were trying to do. Deal with the hyper Karen if you have a hyper Karen problem.
