I think mockery is an intention, you can't know for sure the intentions unless you read their minds. But even if it is mockery, unless we have a different definition of it, I don't see anything wrong with it, it goes back to the whole "nothing should be off limits in comedy" thing. When the left complained about Apu, people pointed out that The Simpsons makes fun of pretty much everyone, including people from other cultures, such as Scotsmen. Again, I think it's only a problem if the purpose is to make people feel bad, but you can never know peoples intentions. I watched that video you suggested, and it is pretty cringe, but I don't think it seems like the purpose is to hurt women's feelings, it seems like just a comedy bit. Sure, it stereotypes women, but so do lots of other things, such as movies like Mean Girls which nobody has a problem with, lots of things stereotype men too, stereotypes are often part of comedy. I don't think Dylan Mulvaney has had bottom surgery, but I don't see what difference that makes.
I haven't done the research, but I really don't see how exposing children to homosexuality could introducing them to sensuality and kinkiness any more than hetorosexuality could. And if it could, I'm not saying that's a good thing, but it seems pretty stupid to avoid it just for that reason. It's a part of life, kids could see gay people kissing whenever they go outside, they have to learn about it at some point. Lots of kid's movies cover topics I think are much more mature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame for example. Also, as long as both parties are consenting adults, I don't see what's wrong with skipping romance and going straight to sex. It doesn't work for everyone, but it does work for some people, everyone's different, neither option is better or worse.
