The only reason I've heard of this before is because of Caddicarus, and he sums up my thoughts on it pretty well.

tl:dw Be a fucking parent, don't let your kid loose on the internet then be surprised when they find Peppa Pig Porn. making sure your kid doesn't find adult stuff is your job, not the rest of the worlds, and If you have to be a shitty parent, at least have the god damn sense to use the fucking TV.

This meme gets slaughtered.

I agree with Caddy.

It's the parent's job to make sure what their children are watching is the legitimate thing. If you're going to let some shitty, badly-written children's show babysit your kids for an hour or two, at least make sure they're watching it on the OFFICIAL Peppa Pig Youtube channel. Youtube is getting blamed for the parent's mistake, and the parents need to do a better job at filtering what their kid sees (granted, Youtube should at least do a better job at filtering the content that appears on their "Youtube Kids" service, considering some of these compilations were foolishly put on that service, but the blame should be on the parents for doing a shitty job at policing what their kids watch).
Better yet, don't let your kid roam freely on the internet. You're practically begging for potential issues if kids are left to their own devices.
