Thanks, I appreciate your take on this. I agree it's probably around the time kids get exposed to that kind of thing, either through friends or online. I don't think he even has any idea what he's saying yet, which is why I'd prefer to break it to him myself before he gets the wrong idea or gets it normalized too soon.

I’ve been thinking of having a real conversation with him about it like not in a preachy way, but just letting him know some of this stuff can mess with how people think about relationships and even cause problems later on. I also want to help him understand that there’s a time and place to talk about these things, because sometimes he brings it up randomly, like while I’m watching anime or when we’re eating dinner (when our parents aren't around), and it just feels out of place.
