    It’s one of the dumbest things about American culture.

    We have such unique choices about what is acceptable and what isn’t in our entertainment.

    Curse words? Bad.

    Violence? Okay.

    Nipple? Bad.

    Guns? Okay.

      It is so hypocritical that we’re constantly told violence and confrontation is never the answer. Laws are passed making it illegal to even defend ourselves. And then 90% of the movies and TV shows are about the glorification of crime, and violence, often with egregious gun usage.

      Yeah but remember the 80’s where cartoons couldn’t have any real violence in them at all?

      He-man Thundercats. Hell Transformers only got away with the violence level it did because they were robots shooting lasers.
