Well, we don't. We just have things for children to roam around in. Children have a place but the current American ideal is reducing things for child intake. I think it started around PG-13 became an acceptable rating: it was a nice way to market anything less than simplistic pastel shit to children without having parents bitch and whine about reality and their responsibilities. Heaven forbid you 'have' to pop out a kid and then expect the rest of us to deal with it. Use a rubber or take it up the ass. Why should I have to deal with your shitling?
The culture reflects this: cartoons are now geared towards consuming, not enjoyment. This started in the 1980s as well as PG-13. The British had it right when they refused Sesame Street for the BBC because children are very vulnerable to brainwashing. If you market anything to them, they will take it because they do not have the ability or experience to know any better. Their 'innocence' (romanticized palatable ignorance, if you ask me) is a perfect marketing tool to con people into buying shit. It's another form of peer pressure that leaks out of the American carcass. So when you go through the last three months of movie releases like I did, you see a country that isn't free but full of bullshit movies that aren't made for adults. Sure, you get a 'Drive Angry' or some bullshit, but most of the time it's just nonsense made for children. Because we all know if we don't make a PG-13 Saw sequel, parents might get upset that The Man is pushing down little Caitlin or Rutger because they really need to see their torture porn. Best not upset the screaming little asshole brat you shat out of your womb.
