Scholars warn Euphoria’s infantilised sexual content risks normalising harm

TL;DR
An academic editorial argues that Euphoria’s scenes in which an adult character dresses as a baby and engages in sexual content normalise sexual harm by blurring boundaries between adulthood and childhood, potentially influencing viewers, especially young ones. The authors note OnlyFans’ policy against content involving minors, link the portrayal to broader harms exposed by cases like Jeffrey Epstein, and call for greater cultural and platform accountability to prevent glamorising or trivialising child exploitation.
