Here's the uncomfortable truth: Jelly is one of those YouTubers your kid absolutely watches or wants to watch, and you're going to feel like the bad guy when you learn what GTA actually contains.

This isn't about being a pearl-clutching parent—Grand Theft Auto is legitimately rated M for Mature (17+) for graphic violence, sexual content, drug use, and crime simulation. But Jelly packages it with bright thumbnails, excited commentary, and 'funny moments' that make it feel like Saturday morning cartoons. It's not.

With 23 million subscribers and billions of views, this is mainstream kid culture now. The challenge isn't just the game content—it's that this represents hours of passive screen time watching someone else play, with minimal creative or educational payoff. Add in open comments on content that clearly attracts young children, and you've got a safety cocktail parents should understand.

If your kid is already watching, don't panic—but do have a real conversation about game ratings, why certain content is age-restricted, and maybe redirect toward gaming channels with less mature content or, better yet, actual creative screen time where they're building or making something themselves.
