Yep, simply projection. People projecting their insecurities on others.
-------------------- “Everybody is fundamentally, the ultimate reality. Not god in the political kingly sense, but god in the sense of being the self – the deep down basic whatever there is. And you’re all that… only you’re pretending you’re not.” -Alan Watts I think that in human evolution it has never been as necessary to have this substance LSD. It is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be.” ― Albert Hofmann

I agree with you 100%. In fact, the choice position of TRUST Specialist in Miami-Dade County Public Schools for 27 years gave me room to do just that! In response to 6th graders questions about subliminals in their Disney animations, I came up with a comprehensible lesson about Freud's Eros-Thanatos theories, as well as Pavlov 101. I still have a number of laminated magazine ads with the word 'sex' embedded in various places, condoms secreted in flowers, the word 'cancer' shadowed on a cigarette ad, skeletons airbrushed into ice cubes in a glass of liquor, etc. I did answer all kinds of questions on psychology for the kids, but their vocabularies, barring the few gifted kids, were too limited at that age to handle many of the classic defense mechanisms in a classroom setting. During mediations and counseling, with 1, 2, or a small group, it was possible to explain things. I also, for many years, played a game in which kids would pull a card with the name of one emotion on it. They had to non-verbally act out the emotion, and the class was taught to observe, not guess, then respond with what they thought the emotion was. That game was actually part of the TRUST curriculum. I guess as a new retiree, I'm still mourning a long-held position, but it did accomplish what you suggested and much much more.
So to answer Icelander's question, I was someone who taught kids these things in my unique way, and I was only twice called into the principal's office to answer to a parent whose child had excitedly announced at home that you can find the word sex, and references to death everywhere in Madison Avenue. No disciplinary action, I was good at being transparent to parents with no hidden agendas.
