    It’s always been a kid’s story, they just used to be able to get away with darker stuff a lot of the time, and I miss that in a lot of modern kid/family media. There’s still stuff for adults, but it feels like a lot of darker themes are toned down, though there’s some exceptions Steven Universe having themed of rape and abuse with Lapis and Jasper, or the few kids action shows/movies that still have characters die, even if they’re just goons. It’s not like all kids media sucks now or anything, it’s just harder to get away with rougher themes and more action without getting a PG-13/TV-14 rating
