My concern is more that he stumbles upon Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy in a threesome scene that ends when Beast Boy is knocked out by a tentacle creature with rapey intentions towards the two female Teen Titans. It’s not a concern I can bring myself to share. I get that rapey violent cartoons (or rapey violent media in general) might seem like they _should_ mess a kid up, but I’m not convinced they do. Further discussion along those lines is more GD than GQ so I’ll drop it. If the OP is determined to put in such blocks, I’ll give some thought to purely technical suggestions to that end. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-hosts-file-be-locked/693954)._
