Anyways,anyone remember trapped in hyperspace dilema?
Sure I'll tell you what I watched as a kid but it will just make me look old.

I watched a lot of TV growing up and played a lot of games. When I was little I remember watching G.I. Joe mainly. Also Thundercats, Transformers, He Man and TMNT. So yeah a lot of violence in those shows.

How did it harm me? I'm not a hostile person. I don't beat people up or treat people bad. I think I'm a better person for watching violence. I wasn't sheltered and protected from the world like most kids now days. I know that sounds like something an old person would say but it's very true. The amount of hand holding and censoring going on is insane. Most people I talk to who are @18 usually tell me how thier parents hid stuff from them or just denied them. It's bad to overexpose kids to violence but it's much worse to hide them from it.

I have to admit that watching anime is not being sheltered. I like most animes because they don't treat the viewer like children. It's only the ones that are centered on creepily young looking female leads that bother me.


One last thing. I never liked Tom and Jerry, it was old school when I was young. But, it was a lot more violent than the stuff I watched.
TMNT for me.

Well, I think it should have both ways, to show children, which it does now. But I do agree censoring has went insane, but Cartoonish Figures like Tom were like rolemodels.

Anime rocks.
