Searching for Kinky Kids, a Japanese boy band since 2000s, would trigger a warning about sexualization of children.

To be fair, the band is KinKi Kids, with an "I".

If you insist on searching for "kinky kids" (using quotes) you will find stuff that is closer to what the filter warns you about, still SFW though.

Incidentally, the name comes from a region in Japan. A university named after the same region changed its English name to "Kindai University" to avoid this issue:

I just tried again.

Turn out it is the correct spell that triggers the warning
