What might scare or upset a kid in fiction is totally, completely random. I was only terrified of two things as a kid- anything you told me was going to be scary and the bird from A Bugs Life

That is to say you cannot bar kids from media that upsets them because you never know what will do that.

Yes you should not show some things to kids because its way more likely to, but discomfort is a thing you grow around and you can turn off a movie where something upsetting happens and process it, you can't do that irl and something upsetting will inevitably happen to 99% of kids.
