It may not surprise you to learn that not all parents agree that this
kind of experience with fiction is a good thing -- at least, not in America.

everyone, of course!

Civil Action - A minor, through a person acting on behalf of the minor in
accordance with Rule 17(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to the
extent applicable, may, in a civil action in an appropriate district court of
the United States, obtain relief under subsection (b) against any person
who knowingly sells or distributes in interstate or foreign commerce an
entertainment product containing material that is harmful to minors, if--
(1) a reasonable person would expect a substantial number of minors
to be exposed to the material; and (2) the minor as a result of exposure
to that material is likely to suffer personal or emotional injury or injury
to mental or moral welfare.
