Tagging this as Littlecourse out of courtesy for people who do not care/do not wish to see it.
Please replace parts with the term you see fit, for the sake of my post, and what we use, we will be using Parts/Alters interchangeably. Please be respectful on this post. I will turn comments and reblogs off if people cannot simply be polite and normal about the conversation, I will aslo be tagging my stances.
I am aware that DNI's do not apply to discourse. so I am not going to limit who interacts on this post. But simply keep it to this post, and none of the other posts on this account.
Now, onto the post;
I do not particularly think it is fair to dictate how another system handles their Littles (Or, if you dislike the usage of littles, Non-adult parts, we will be using non-adult parts). Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But, at the end of the day, how a system handles and treats non-adult parts in their system is not your concern (this applies to adult parts too. Just all parts of a system in general). As long as it is healthy, and the alter is not at risk, or at harm, then it is fine.
You do not get to dictate what is/isn't safe for a part in someone elses system, because you do not know them. Yes, there are some non-adult parts that may not necessarily be equipped to handle NSFW, or otherwise adult topics! But that is not all of them. Now, to be very clear, I am not not saying you cannot bring up concerns, If you have concerns, of course you should bring that up with the system! But. under no circumstances should you be saying "Your little cannont engage in NSFW topics" or other things i've seen, such as engaging in adult media. (The only example that comes to my mind on that front would be something such as Hazbin Hotel apologies).
It is an incredibly situational, case by case basis on how a little should be treated, and that ought to be kept in mind more. Systems who follow the case by case basis way of handling their non-adult parts and let them explore NSFW topics, and engage in adult spaces are not predatory, or disgusting human beings for letting them explore and partake in NSFW topics and adult spaces. (Another thing I have seen around regarding littlecourse)
For us, we have some non-adult parts that cannot handle NSFW or adult content very well, and likewise, we have some non-adult parts who can handle NSFW/adult content, and deserve acess to those resources and spaces. We'll never restrict a non-adult part from accessing resources that are adult in nature if they can handle it. Even then, the ones that cannot handle it, get the concepts explained to them in a less "adult" way, because they are still vunerable, and if they were to be in front during a dangerous situation, they deserve the same tools as adult parts, so that they can ask for help and keep themselves safe. remember, sex education is important and can help protect people! And that includes the more vunerable parts in your system.
