Searches on Etsy for Children’s programmes returning dildos- FFS!!

I have just been searching for Gravity Falls merch on Etsy, and was presented with Pride Dildo in the search results, for anyone not familiar with the show it is a childrens show, primarily aimed at the pre teen/early teen market and children would be likely to use “Gravity Falls” as a search on Etsy - what pride dildo’s have to do with Gravity Falls is completely beyond me , this is hugely inappropriate particularly as one of the characters (who is 11 I think ?) is famous for her rainbow jumpers.

I have tweeted Etsy (linked tweet below- don’t care if it is outing will
name change at some point) but this isn’t just me thinking this inappropriate is it -

am I being unreasonable to think there shouldn’t be dildos coming up in searches for children’s programmes ??

Etsy is an adult site that sells a lot of sex toys and other very explicit items.

Children should not be using it, especially not unsupervised.

Google safe search only filters results on google itself, not other websites.

No dildos when I search gravity falls…maybe someone in your house has been buying dildos recently?

It came up on the second page of my search on my phone, with safe search settings on and which no one else has access to. I've never searched for anything which would suggest that.

What safe search setting are you talking about?

Etsy does not appear to have a safe search option.
