Censoring anything considered "violent" (eg; blood death and guns) does not in any way make media more "kid friendly" and is in truth prioritizing the sensibilities of soccer moms over children's actual development.
>>77263211Hmm. As long as it furthers the child's intellectual/cognitive or social/emotional needs, it's kosher. But violence for its own sake is masturbatory.
>>77263211When I was a kid they used to play that starvin Africans shit during teenage mutant ninja turtles, the fuckin ghouls who did that shit.
>>77263314Oh yeah, I remember those. They'd show flies landing on a dying kid's eyeball and mouth. Lulz.
>>77263211Also censoring nudity is gay.
>>77263314Suck it up faggot. (extra words so I don't get muted)
>>77263975But also >it's totally ok to show children real life violence if it's for a good cause but anything more violent than Tom & Jerry in a cartoon will ruin them
>>77264262I've read that Tom and Jerry is surprisingly deep, abstract and symbolic. The writers were constantly making each other laugh so hard that they couldn't breathe.I haven't watched enough to make that conclusion for myself, but I thought I'd just mention it.
>>77263211It shouldn't be up to the parents to protect their children from harmful things. I remember when I was a child, until I was 3 there were knives lying around the house, my mum has told me many times how I nearly lost my right index finger. If it wasn't for the government stepping in who knows how long I would have lived.
>>77264557Most governments don't consider corporal punishment abusive, they're no better.
