Christian parents are issuing strong warnings to other families about the newest season of Stranger Things, saying that some scenes are deeply inappropriate for younger viewers. The series, rated 14A, released the first part of Season 5 on Netflix on Wednesday night. The opening sequence has drawn concern from the likes of Jack and Tanya Tay Posobiec, for what they describe as a graphic and disturbing depiction involving a child character in a "pedophilic" scene.

“To me, I watch this… this is very clearly representative of a gay scene,” Posobiec said. “And that’s crazy that nobody is calling out Netflix for this… This is their keystone show.” He rejected claims that he was exaggerating, saying, “No, no, that’s really, really what it’s representative of… It was more horrifying than I realized.”

Full disclosure, I’ve never watched the “hit” Netflix original series, Stranger Things. Based on what I read in Human Events, I likely never will.

In a piece in Human Events, journalist Jack Posobiec saves us the trouble of watching what can only be described as a piece of vile filth. Now, I’m sure I’ll be accused of being a neanderthal “boomer” who doesn’t appreciate the “art” of the 2020s. That is a badge of honor I will gladly wear. Posobiec saved me (and countless others) the trouble.

Posobiec informs us that the opening scene in Season 5 of this program jumps straight into a scene that is “drenched–absolutely soaked–in sexualized horror symbolism, to a child. And that is the goal of Netflix and the series producers, hoping that people have become desensitized to such vile filth.

They’re probably correct.
