I know we're just supposed to roll with when it comes how Users know about their Stand abilities, but I wanna know what situation Kakyoin was in as a kid that let him find out his Stand could shoot emeralds and possess people.
To be fair, if you wanna roll with Araki's original game plan wherein stands functioned as visualizations of psychic power, I can think of a lot of ways a young stand user might awaken to his abilities.

Kakyoin reminisces a bit about his lonely childhood before facing Dio, so I could conceive of him being a kid, being bullied, wishing he had a rock or something he could throw; cue Hierophant Green's emerald splash. Possession wouldn't be much of a stretch either.

All good points. Having an alien tentacle ghost that only he can probably added a lot to Kakyoin's loner status to begin with, but then it starts shooting emeralds and going inside people and no one wants to hang out with Kakyoin anymore.

Polnareff is Polnareff and probably didn't even realize he had a Stand for a while and I guess Josuke got used to this pink robot punch man hanging out with him.

Mitsuba and Hato have yet to be important in any respect.

It somehow completely slipped my mind that Joubin would probably have to be married to produce Tsurugi.

JoJolion has actually been going on for ten years, we just haven't noticed.

I hope Hato busts out some crazy powerful Stand and is actually really cool, I'm already bummed out that due to Daiya's Stand, she'll probably never be in a fight again. Her fashion sense is amazing.

Didn't Joseph have to flail around to figure out what Hermit Purple did? I imagine in both their cases it's because they got theirs from Dio's evil radiations. Presumably people like Polly, Abdul, Mariah etc. got to sort of figure it out over time.

I think he does mention that Avdol helped him find out what it did.

Considering he thinks he has to smash a camera with it while DIO just taps his, I think Joseph still doesn't know his stand that intricately.

I think on some level he does know, since he can use Hermit Purple in a wide variety of situations.

I think Joseph Joestar doesn't so much "think" as "bullshit his way through problems." You could see him sweating when everyone started cracking up during The Sun, after all.

I agree, insane gore where a guy's arm appears to fall out of the skin holding it is A-ok, but an awkward scene that doesn't even compare to the stuff they show on game of thrones? Terrible.

I dunno what you're saying. A 40/50 year old woman making sexual comments to a fourteen year old girl and then asking the girl to sit on her face is pretty creepy. Some people are less bothered by gore and more bothered by strange sexual scenarios with teenagers.

The age of consent was as low as 10 in some states during the late 19th century. The poo poo that happens to Lucy is creepy, but if she were married, she probably wasn't considered a minor in-universe.
