It's safer letting kids have unrestricted access to anime than western cartoons
Sure there will be some gore, violence and fan service but at least it isn't trying to indoctrinate you kids to reject nature to mutilate and be ideological drones the rest of their lives
(Note joking only about anime part, parents do your jobs and supervise the media your kids consume)
Nuances that nevertheless take a knee to the indecency of the uncurated net, which has more pull than any canon. Modern anime is rife with this indecency and acts like grease to an already slippery slope, and is a shared imaginitive landscape with the exact coomers we condemn.
With the shrinking portals of traditional masculinity, I think neither western cartoons nor anime after a certain era are preferable.
"NO DAD THIS ISN'T A GIRL'S WIG, ASTOLFO IS TOTALLY BASED AND REDPILLED COME ON!"
Kids will of course nevertheless find this shit and other questionable things, but a thick callous of masculine identity needs to be solidified early on to curb the influence. If my kid found a hyper-feminized modern anime and tried to pitch it to me I would deny knowing what it is and give him my best "what the fuck are you watching" face of disappointment and discouragement - the kind when you'd watch pokemon on a saturday morning and Ash and the cast start talking about their pokelove as your father walks by with the kind of grimmace that would make any kid turn red with embarassment and frantically change the channel.
I'd also occasionally "borrow the computer", not even to pry but just to stir that very same anxiety.
I have been there and at its best it can be decent - though every community I'd ever been in somehow contracted commies into their moderatorship.
Every single one. Even very goal oriented servers had a contingent of do-nothing commies that seemingly manifested out of the ether, and lo, they eventually wormed their way into moderator positions and spammed their memes with impunity - stranger yet, they were almost always trannies. This was before my ideas solidified into what they are now and I didn't know just how pervasive a problem this was or of the biased support they get from the platform itself.
That isn't to mention the adjacent repugnance of its lesser avenues (Ratittoui 18+, hentai servers, hookup servers, El Chapo Traphouse and other tankie servers, etc.) and its corrupt developers in general.
This isn't to say I recommend Twitter, or any platform for that matter. Few small knooks remain where the truly disillusioned may cohabitate.

Do that and next thing you know your kid has an Astolfo avatar and a Discord account.
Even Astolfo recognises there's only two genders, not his fault he can get more men to question their straightness because women are lacking lol

I met far more like-minded friends on Discord than I ever did on Twitter.
I disagree, if you jump onto a random Discord server, your chance of meeting leftists is EXTREMELY high.
mIRC has a higher chance of having based people.
Which is why you take the good ones you find and make your own server.
I'm in one now with a dozen other friends, and we have a TON of barriers to entry.
No, I'm not inviting anyone here.

And then he will identify as a "femboy" and will have absolutely no sense of masculinity left and will be "ERP"ing everywhere about having a "bussy".
At some point I forgot that some "femboys" observe themselves as rightwing. I wish to forget again.
eh? most "femboys" i've seen on the net are usually leftist LGBTBBQ bundles of sticks.
Even Astolfo admits a lack of rationality. Or perhaps absence would be a better word. It's there in his legend.
