I’m mainly familiar with Baron Karl Freiherr von Rokitansky because his name was attached to [Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses](https://radiopaedia.org/articles/rokitansky-aschoff-sinuses?lang=us), which one must never mistake for invasive adenocarcinoma. ---

I think that happened a few years before I had my kids, because I never saw anything questionable when searching for kid music, but I’ve been wary of YouTube because of those stories. Eta: yes, I was right, and it’s from 2017, so long before I had kids: > **[Elsagate](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsagate)** > > Elsagate (derived from Elsa and the -gate scandal suffix) is a controversy surrounding videos on YouTube and YouTube Kids that were labelled as "child-friendly" but contained themes inappropriate for children.

The characters in that platform look like you took Lego minifigs and melted them in a microwave. Eroticizing them sounds challenging. (I know it’s the internet and people will do anything but still.)
