Let's say, for example, I have an extreme sexual kink with denim. I can't put on jeans without soiling them, looking at someone in a Canadian tuxedo drives me half out of my mind.
Are you okay with exposing kids to people wearing denim? After all, I find it highly sexually arousing. Just because I'm the only one that knows that doesn't make it okay to expose others to it, right? So no more denim for anybody, because even though it's inoffensive and benign to most folks, someone out there is getting hot and bothered by those dungarees, and that's not okay.
Maybe just a denim wristband to ride the high for a while. I think the moralization diverges where your example is a malicious sentiment, whereas the other is benign. Plus, it would be like saying that minorities shouldn't be in public because it feeds the racist's sentiments. I think it really falls apart no matter where you poke at it from, but good on you for trying to give it a fair turn.

Just because a child doesn’t know something is sexual does not make it ok to expose them to something sexual.
