You may disagree with it and may even be right, I didn't bother watching all those videos. But the thing is, it's always a potential liability for admins, and we're at the mercy of what the law says and what a potential judge or jury would rule if brought to court.
And we all know how that goes when underage people are involved: everyone goes "but the children!". Therefore, admins side with caution, because nobody wants to deal with legal trouble if they don't have to. Just blur it and make everyone happy.
Plus, in the current AI landscape, the mere availability of nude children imagery even if it's not sexually suggestive at all means someone can alter it to become so. People have already been arrested for that.
Nothing to do with people being too prude to see naked children. It's about consent and what nasty people will inevitably do with it. Does that girl really want videos of her naked all over the porn sites even through heroic actions? Probably not.
That's a very weird hill to blow alts on.
