This has less to do with creators not saying their stories are for adults but more to do with the fact that modern creators are clearly making children's shows but with adult content in them.
>>152037495aren't there like G PG PG13 R ratings or something for this exact purpose
I was going to reply saying you're wrong and these shows have disclaimers in front of them and age ratings. But no. On Netflix there isn't any disclaimer and it's rated PG.
>>152037541Yes, but parents are retards with no sense of responsibility, so they want tech companies to parent their children for them.
>>152037553>rated PGThat's fine then you can say 'sex' in a PG movie.
>>152037495The entire fandom is underage
>>152037582I feel like I have never heard sex talked about in a PG movie. PG 13 maybe. The only example I can think of is Beetlejuice but they also say fuck twice in that movie and it's clearly not normal for that rating.
>>152037600You can get away with some stuff in PG films, Princess bride saved it's one allotted curse for Inigo scene.PG has been watered down from those days though.
>>152037495Never let your kids watch The Goonies.
>>152037600Before the PG-13 rating came into existence PG was much edgier. You would hear some "fucks" dropped. There was also plenty of violence, like Jaws and Poltergeist. >I feel like I have never heard sex talked about in a PG movie.It happens in movies but TV gets away with it way more. Look at the Simpsons. The vast majority of episodes are PG. Or a show like Community which has a large mix of PG and TV-14.But here are some movies that are PG from the 80s onward (around or after PG-13 rating) that have some content that you probably wouldn't show to a very young child but to an older kid or teenager.BigWho Framed Roger Rabbit?SpaceballsSon of the MaskDel Toro's PinocchioShrekI say this but I saw Shrek in theaters when I was 5, but think about it they drop a metric ton of naughty language and innuendo. Obviously PG movies tend to lose their edge as you leave the 80s.>>152037648>princess brideForgot about that"I want my father back you son of a bitch"
>>152037798PG-13 is a bad inclusion for content ratings, as it makes producers water down adult films, and make kid-friendly films more edgier with random swears for the sake of maximing audiences, making films be more juveline
>>152037541Yes but parents don't read.>>152037573And that's why we have the social media verification because parents are slack jawed retards.
>>152038318I don't think this is as much of an issue anymore, companies are still perfectly willing to bankroll R-rated films. It's the other way around, R-rated content has become juvenile like Sausage Party.
>>152037495It's simpleIf a cartoon has "Rated PG-12" then it's not for kids. Fuck off.
>>152038318I think there does need to be something between PG and R though.
>>152037495It has literally nothing to do with the creator netflix set the rating wrong
>>152037798Burton's CatCF fucking destroyed me
When I was a kid, I wasn't allowed to watch the Simpsons but I'd manage to sneak into the living room to watch Family Guy as a form of rebellion and would learn basically everything they were trying to shield me from via that and the internet.Parents really need to learn there's a spectrum to this stuff. TADC is slightly edgy and grown up enough that it'll placate kids in terms of feeling like big kids without showing them anything extremely inappropriate. Kids these days have a general idea of what sex is at this point and being incredibly squeamish around it just pushes them to look further into it. Showing them something that acknowledges the topic without delving too deep makes them feel like big kids and you can basically use it to trick them into thinking you trusted them with some otherwise forbidden fruit, leaving them more afraid of misbehaving or watching what you told them not to because they might lose that privilege
>>152037495Why are mutts so averse to letting kids know what sex is? And why is it when they do, they go overboard with it?
>>152038514Why do europoors, shitskins, and saars love showing 6 year olds hard-core porn while chain smoking?
>>152037495Except that have claimed time and again that tadc isn't for kids.
>>152037495goose should just accept he made a trendy kids show and stop trying to push it to be adult animation. a lot of adults would kill to have the ability to reach children to the shows degree.
>>152037495Jax killed the series
>>152038877Why do mutts love child beauty pageants so much?
>>152038514American puritanism is truly fascinating.It's so bad that it's even seeping into other cultures since America is the main character of the world at this point.
>>152037582Remember when Sid the Sloth said sex?
>>152039835he said it in the clinical textbook way, not referring to the act
>>152037600It WAS normal. But then at some point the G rating became box office poison, so PG became the new "kids stuff" rating and had to be sanitized to accommodate. 20 years ago it was given to movies that were ostensibly for kids, but also too dark or crude for the "for kids" label to really apply. Movies like Atlantis, Treasure Planet, or the first two Shrek movies. Now it's given to Illumination slop for babies, where the closest thing to "adult content" is stuff that MIGHT have been edgy and offensive to small bible belt towns in the 80s.
anyone who believes kids and adults should watch different things, and that watching the wrong thing somehow hurts someone, and that ratings are even acceptable, let alone good, is a very, bad person who needs to rethink his entire life.lookin at you, Jack. You were great on Freakazoid, but you're answering for it now.
>>152039782childs are beautiful. it's the pageant part that's a problem. No pageant is good. Not fun to watch, either.Just like be beautiful in your normal life, walk around. Enjoy before life crushes you and makes you ugly and you lose 2 inches of height without even realizing it.
>>152038514makes them easier to control. and ignorant populace is one that votes for you to be their mommy.>>152040119it is still so fucking weird how that happened.
>>152038514Because they're starkly aware of how many gooners and weirdoes are salivating at the thought of exposing kids to sexual and fetish content the same was exhibitionists get off on making other uncomfortable with their displays of sexuality. Other countries just pretend they don't notice
>>152037600>>152037648>>152040119>>152037582You idiots are talking about movie PG ratings, TV ratings are far more lenient when it comes to sexual content and violence. The episode of King of the Hill where Peggy becomes a foot fetish star is rated TV-PG-D.
>>152038514I've met European girls when I was 13 and all of them were avid sex havers by then.Eat shit and die Europedo you want to molest your kids young go ahead I am not letting Tyrone, Epstein Goldberg, or Abdullah do so.
>>152037495>SEX IS BAD THIS WILL LITERALLY TURN KIDS INTO COOMERSfucking kill yourself
>>152037495Looney Tunes, Animaniacs, and all your classic stuff had adult humor snuck in as well. What's your point?
>>152040776tranny creator so that might as well be the plan
>>152037495It has nothing to do woth anything. Parents are informing each other to prevent them from being stupid.The problem is when parents are stupid and let their kids warch and then complain that some external insiturion was derlict in their duty to police the content.
>>152037600Ice Cube's 2005 PG family comedy Are We There Yet had the guy call the mom Sexy.
>>152037495The line between adult and child media was always hard to define anyway, since adult media that tries to be about relating to adult experiences tends to fail on the basis that they get plenty of that already. Where's the appeal?
>>152037495Imagine parenting your kids instead of plopping them in front of a tablet and clicking on anything with bright colors
>>152040688Foot shit is nothing. Koth had the episode where some bitch murderer tries to seduce Hank in a car while just wearing her lingerie and it was rated MA. TV ratings suck ass.
>>152041087It needs to be expanded. As juvenile as some anime can be, the fact that it distinguishes little kids from kids from teens from young adult from adult gives more leeway for artists to make things. Though the TV-14 and PG-13 ratings seem to have a greater stigma in the West and teens tend to go for straight MA or R rather than sticking to their appropriate ratings. It will depend on the kid and family watching the kid.
>>152037600Team rocket and the gang talk about sex in pokemon 2000
>>152037495>episode title about everyone getting guns>is shocked at the word sexFucking tale as old as time
>>152037495TADC is more PG-13 is it not?
>>152043195i cannot believe it took this long for me to get that, but it makes so much sense
>>152041089Parenting is too much work and it requires me to take responsibility. I don't like it.
>>152037495stupid thread
>>152037541isn't Digital Circus a web series? there's no FCC regulation of internet media.
>>152040688it also aired on a 'adult' network. by and large little kids weren't tuning in to primetime Fox.
>>152044582>there's no FCC regulation of internet media.Don’t give them any ideas.
>>152037495This doesn't happen to space king only sell out shows...
>>152037495It has the same age rating as most episodes of The Simpsons, Futurama, KOTH and Bob's Burgers, which regularly mention/joke about sex
>>152038877oh yeah?but when a cop guns one down, mutts suddenly adults who should know betterNobody wants to admit that mutts sweet innocent child is eventually going to reach puberty
>>152037495>clearly making children's shows but with adult content in themIs Amazing Digital Circus in the kids section? Yes or no.
>>152037495Somebody should tell these moms that the word “sex” is censored. They even put a bleep stamp over the place where Zooble’s mouth is supposed to be to exaggerate the point that they’re not allowed to say “sex.” Not sure why it slipped past in the subtitles but it is kinda funny.
>>152043195because sex is for low iq retardsviolence is cool.
>>152040412How dare you say that to his cheeks.
>>152040688KOTH is a boring looking show that aired in time slots not traditionally marketed towards kids. Watershed is a dead concept in the VOD world and TADC is basically every colourful shiny kids show.
>>152037495But the circus isn't a kids show. It does look like one admittedly but that's just part of the premise.
>>152046009>>152046305The problem is that it's also written like a children's show but with a slapdash of adult content in it.
>>152037600Nigger, you can literally say "fuck" in PG13 movies
>>152046598>it's also written like a children's showIn what way?
>>152037541Parents are retarded and lazy. My mom apparently let me watch South Park when I was a toddler because she thought all cartoons were for kids. This went on for some time until another relative told her to actually pay attention to the show and she realized how vulgar it was.
>>152041712Ill still never get nor understand why sex is being randomly mentioned in that sceneIt was so jarring hearing it as a kid
>>152046819This happened so much with South Park in particular that Matt and Trey made the plot of the movie revolve around it.
>>152041712>>152047031I do not remember this. What was the context?
>>152046795The childish moral lessons at the end of each episode, the very simplistic characters and obvious character arcs, the humor, etc.
Having sex is natural. Why are parents so protective over something that everyone does in their lifetime?
>>152047156https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMpFlQJudIUI assume he's talking about this
>>152047201Because it leads to the creation of shit like this board. Sex is for procreating but people develop a literal dependancy to it which is how you end up with sluts and incel culture.
>>152037495>>152037553It's true, I'm tired of artists washing their hands of it and always blaming their parents for their mistakes.If you're a boomer normie, you won't realize this isn't for kids unless you watch the show.
>>152047382Just do 5 seconds of research. When I was a kid, my mom thought Teletubbies was sus so she did some research before concluding it was fine for me to watch
>>152040119>>152037798It's true, people forget history very quickly.
>>152047396>Just do 5 seconds of research. It's impossible to find something in five seconds.
>>152040720Do you make a habit of asking children about their sex lives?
>>152047382Why are parents so terrified of actually having to do their job?
>>152047433Okay smartass, 5 minutes of research
>>152047433Finding the age rating on Netflix takes less time than that.
>>152047479Most parents never actually wanted to be parents (at least half of kids are accidents).
>>152047479>>152047485The problem you don't understand is that normalfags don't know how to use the internet; they only realize what it's about when they see the show.
>>152047527nope
>>152044604They can't, they only have regulatory powers over broadcasting, everything else is protected under the first amendment right to freedom of the press.
Where was all this energy for shit like SML or Happy Tree Friends?
>>152047544That's their own fault. Being a parent without knowing how to operate the internet (in fucking 2026, no less) is like being a parent who can't drive, or can't tie shoelaces. You failed your child. Why even have a child in the first place if you aren't even gonna bother putting in 5 minutes of effort?
>>152047571like i said>It's true, I'm tired of artists washing their hands of it and always blaming their parents for their mistakes.
>>152047638>I'm tired of artists blaming parents for the parents' mistakes
>>152047657No, it's the artists' fault
>>152047866Retard
>>152047866The very idea of being held responsible for those who consume your artistic work is insane.
>>152047213>opposite sexOh okay so it’s nothing. A mild mannered and perfectly normal phrase that only sticks out to third graders. Probably that sounded more soccer mom style G rated in japanese, but it was a short gender neutral phrase the translators were having trouble with without using sex. Back then “gender” was a less common word.
>>152037495it beginsthis will either stir up an outcry that's not too far gone from the satanic panic, or the former would happen for a week and everyone will forget about it
>>152037495Honestly, Youtube should just give creators the ability to clearly mark their content by age ratings.
>>152037495The more I see parents post online, the more I'm starting to believe the teenagers were right in thinking their parents are stupid.Parents will shield the kids from everything and then complain when the consequences show.
>>152037495>children's shows but with adult content in them.This is essentially what every /co/omer aspires to create.
>>152048860As a ratings autist that'd make my day. Not even joking I pay attention to them on everything I watch and I'd love to rate my own videos (already do on newgrounds). MPA ratings especially because the content descriptors can sometimes be hilarious
>>152039798Suffah Europoors
>>152046163It was bleeped on youtube, Netflix is uncensored.>>152044604iirc they actually tried in the 90's, deemed unconstitutional.>>152044582Also on Netflix with a TV-PG.
>>152048877The real truth is that both groups are retarded, and always has been.
>>152048860That would just lead to another Elsagate situation. Put a G rating and an innocuous thumbnail on your disgusting video and the algorithm will start recommending it to children.
This is retarded. No kid will know that means, other shows have done a lot more than this.
>>152049019Just don't make the algorithm work off the rating. It's just there for the creator to directly state who their content is intended for, to wash themselves of any direct blame.At best just have any video rated above 12+ or something like that, not show up on Youtube Kids.
>>152048877It's not just that parents are retarded, it's that they are encouraged to be retarded because criticizing how other people raise their kids is taboo unless it involves criminal levels of abuse. Content moderation is a constant uphill battle because you're not allowed to suggest that maybe, just maybe, it's the parents' fault if their child is watching hardcore porn and ISIS beheading videos.
>>152047925>>152047940Cope
>>152049140Are you a boomer anon?
>>152048962>It was bleeped on youtube, Netflix is uncensored.Really? That’s potentially plot relevant, whether or not words are bleeped, so I’m surprised.
>>152037541There's a One Piece episode that's still rated TV-PG (on Netflix) even though it has Nami being sexually assaulted in the shower.>>152037553>and it's rated PGSo are WWE shows.>>152037595So was the first audience for Mortal Kombat.
>>152048962>unconstitutionalThis word means nothing in 2026
>make a show for adultsthe entire audience is children>make a show for kidsthe entire audience is adults
>>152037798>Who Framed Roger Rabbit?Check that question mark.
>>152041074Toonami ran an episode of Dragon Ball Z where Majin Buu asked a random NPC if he was sexy back while it was still running in 2002.
Kill all puritans
>>152047213>>152048776Reminds me of when my brother tattled on me for saying a no-no word for talking about the Rugrats character Dr Lipschitz
>>152046685Most PG-13 rated movies back then and today allot for at least one instance of fuck. It all depends on whether the director bothers fighting against the arbitrary nature of the beast it's working for.
>>152049268It never meant anything, since the constitution can be changed.
>>152037600>>152037798Twilight Zone Movie had a line that was funnily similar to Zooble’s.
>>152047433>It's impossible to find something in five seconds.Not anymore with every search engine forcing an AI implement to deep search and scrutinize everything ever searched from it.>>152047558>SMLI don't know what that is.>Happy Tree FriendsAlready had its moment back in 2005 or so.>>152048962>It was bleeped on youtubeCorrection: The US English checked version was bleeped due to Youtube's policies. The UK English was left uncensored.
>>152049661>AI searchIt’s impossible to find something real in 5 seconds, but if you want to 3d print slop bullshit you can get instant gratification, is not a winning argument
I literally searched "What is Digital Circus rated" and it gave the answer (TV-PG on Netflix)There's no excuse for not knowing in the era of having a smartphone. I'm so tired of parental laziness, it has gotten way out of hand (it's been an issue for generations)
>>152037495They have Netflix?
>>152037495I think this shows that there's a market that's not being met. If adults want to watch kids cartoons then make and sell a "kid's" cartoon aimed at an adult audience.
Kids love children's shows with adult content in them. It lets them pretend they're more mature than they are for enjoying something that is just bright colors and crazy shapes like any other kids show. This is the same reason South Park developed an audience.
>>152037495cringe dialogue tbdesu
Retards ruined the rating system.All you ever needed was G, PG and R
>>152037541The Amazing Digital Circus has a TV-PG rating on Netflix. That doesn't seem right to me...
>>152051528Who has Netflix?
>>152037495>GUNS...>SEXahhhh! rabble! rabble!! rabble!!!
>>152049332Mandela effect
>>152055186TADC, that's who!
>>152049276crazy innit?
>>152050085>literally searched "What is Digital Circus rated" and it gave the answer (TV-PG on Netflix)And it's a bad rating. This series has very dark themes for a "PG-rated" show. That rating is for sexual content and a little violence, not for suicide, existential crises, the death of a friend, schizophrenia, etc.Imagine having to watch this show with your children for even a moment.
>>152049497>>152049268Reddit
>>152056384Actually it's superstition that every Hollywood film with a question mark has been a bomb. WFRR is the exception to the rule.
>>152055793
>>152057416Why do people pretend that TADC is such a mature show?
>>152037495>making children's shows but with adult content in them.Because down-to-earth shows about the mundane life of adults are boring for people who are into cartoons, and people that are into the down-to-earth shows don't make cartoons. It's a natural filter.
>>152057732It's more mature than that crap you posted.But that wasn't my point; the fact that it's PG-rated is a mistake.
>>152057732Indie animation fans are genuinely terrified of admitting the shows they watch are for kids with yt content farming so they need to cope.
>>152057783>It's more mature than that crap you postedIt's ok to say you just want to fuck Pomni
>>152057806Nah, I don't find a toy sexually appealing.But thank you for proving me right.
>>152057795This show is not suitable for children, I don't know what you're talking about.
>>152057822lol you sure showed him, anon. Now sit in the chair, I'm dicking this clown.
>>152057865Wow, the stupid Redditor immediately thinks of NTR when he loses the argument. Lmao, you're such a cuck.Masturbate thinking you're violating the toy however you want if you think it makes you a winner, I don't care.I'm leaving, I already won the argument.
>>152057732>t. still buttblasted that Jax became the worst character
Here's the obligatory Watership Down rated G comment.
>>152057768the show has had adult themes since episode one, and infantalization + unhealthy escapism + existentialism in the digital age are core to the show's identity. it's colorful because it's an aesthetic choice that calls back to old 90's/very early 2000's simple phong-shaded 3d renders with bright primary colors, coupled with the circus theme.blaming artists because their work is being used as a digital babysitter is not their fucking problem, and using a show's color palette or character designs as an indicator for whether its for children is a failure of the parent, always. also, this is netflix's fault more than anything.
>>152057732comparing moral orel to tadc is unironically a good comparison. if you had the patience to grind through seasons of this shitshow to get to the fantastic subplots, you can binge 6 episodes of TADC in an afternoon to get caught up to where shit is finally happening now
>>152054660PG still means parental guidance, right?Well...?
>>152058013Imagine trying to explain to a child what an existential crisis is; the boomers are right here, this is not suitable for children.
>>152058264not only that, but the complaints are always from the same crowd.these same "think of the children" parents complained about big mouth being an animated show. now, big mouth is an affront to god and was made by the most tasteless hacks known to man, but these people don't care about that; they feel some sense of weird, misplaced betrayal because they saw an animated show, thought "animation = something my toddler could watch" and then got insulted when they failed to perform basic media literacy examination or even just a single-paragraph review of the show. i don't care how busy your professional/home life is. if you can't read a 3 sentence blurb for the betterment of your child, you're mismanaging your time somewhere and your priorities are fucked. if you can't be trusted to read the back of a dvd box, how can you be trusted to read a nutrition label.
>>152057997>it's colorful becauseIt makes it easier to attract children and sell merchandise.This is the only correct answer. The same for any mascot horror like FNAF or Banban.I will never for a second believe TADC was not meant to attract children.
>>152058354true, as an adult i hate color and will only watch a TV show or play a video game where everything is brown
>>152058354>FNAF or Banban.Yes, clearly those two games are the same and have no difference.
>>152057997the themes cartoon fans call adult, because no category exists for animation in between child and adult, are not the themes found in adult fiction
>>152058354>FNAFmarkiplier built the brand you know today while scott cawthon spent 20 years throwing shit at a wall until something stuck. comparing tadc or anything from glitch to fnaf is a farce>It makes it easier to attract children and sell merchandise.>getting mad that an independent studio that makes its content available for free on youtube needs to fund itselfokay>I will never for a second believe TADC was not meant to attract children.good. as long as you self-report yourself as a retard, im satisfied.>>152058403sex, murder, and a live-action cast aren't themes in their own right. feel free to misrepresent things that you've never watched, though.
>>152058264You will be the reason gen alpha's downfall.
>>152059541Yes, it is necessary for children to learn about suicide, existential crises, and depression by the age of ten.Moron, Alpha are ruined because they spend all day on the internet watching stupid things.TADC is a show for adults; watching that thing would harm children's development.
>everyone complains that existentialist dread, escapism, and depression aren't real adult problems>"adult cartoons are cartoons for children, always">meanwhile, a character in TADC is clearly struggling with PTSD from accidentally killing someone in a car accident, and another is a 30 year old coping with living in the shadow of her rich single mother that beat her into becoming a real estate broker for independence and money that is so obsessed with control and being liked that she can't function socially or romantically, and another that's a 25 year old that regrets becoming an accountant as a "safe bet" but secretly trespasses into abandoned buildings, records it, and posts it online as "urbex" just so she can have a hobby and feel like she isn't rotting of boredom, and another that regrets wasting her life at a dead end fast food management job while having unfinished schooling in another field>but no, it has saturated colors and merch, it can't be for adultsit's a kids show, for kids!
Boomers and normies are unable to undestand that cartoons that are not satire can be made for adults.
>>152061598They understand, but only when it has the style of The Simpsons or Family Guy.
>>152037495Becauce that shows are parodies, made by childfree adults who hates kids.Why Digital Circus need be about VR worlds and trans-humanist?Why Hazbin Hotel/Helluva is about Hell if everybody are werewolfs with big smiles?Etc.
>>152037708“He MIKEY! Gotta go to the bathroom?”
I have less an issue with offending people and more an issue with the show not staying consistent with the first episode and comically bleeping out all bad words.
>>152062167>Becauce that shows are parodiesSAAAAAAR
>>152037495>meanwhile children's shows in Japan during the 70sAnd this was in the 70s and 80s. Meanwhile in the west, soccer moms would have a panic attack if the white powder in the Mighty Mouse cartoon was considered to be cocaine. This is why western animation will be stagnant unless it stops caving into evangelist moralfaggotry.
>>152050085>>152057416The Simpsons is rated PG despite having dozens of episodes about Marge and Homer not being able to have sex.
>>152037495Is this really any worse than letting your kids watch the Simpsons?
>>152057732beguzz dey say fug and shid
>>152039782NTA but a majority of the public in America disagrees with child beauty pageants and we joke about the judges being obvious pedophiles.>>152038514Why do you want to show sex to kids?
>>152057416PG is a perfectly fine rating. It's not even PG-13 edgy but it's also not appropriate for young children hence why it's not Y7.
>>152037495>mention sex (no graphic detail) and using guns (zero gore)>kids cant watch this!!Are they for real?
>>152062683>>152062713Breasts and sex aren't necessarily bad for children. Existential crises are for more natural people.
>>152047866Nice bait man.
>>152057416Shielding your kids from these kinds of things just leaves them emotionally stunted when they become adults.
>>152058354Yeah adults hate colors lol.
