It was after shows like Ren and Stimpy when parents starting getting super controlling on what kids "should" and "shouldn't" see. Can't show a villain with a cigar, or it will encourage kids to smoke! Even though they're... the villain, and... obviously bad. And god forbid someone gets a nose bleed or says the word "dead", just in case kids might explode with violence upon impact.

While children certainly shouldn't be exposed to EVERYTHING a teenage or adult oriented show might present, kids can handle a lot more than we give them credit for.

I think it's getting a bit better though, it's just going to be a slow process.
