What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?	comment	Often times, productions that are marketed to children make us wonder if they were created for them, because of potentially explicit content, serious and mature plots or both. Namely, if these shows have an awful lot of Parental Bonus, Parent Service, and the like. Unfortunately, this can also bring Moral Guardians out of the woodwork if it seems to be blatant enough. This can also happen when something is given a G rating but has an awful lot of potentially explicit content. This phenomenon can also occur due to Values Dissonance. For example, formerly acceptable targets are, by definition, no longer acceptable, and Real Life tragedies can make things Harsher in Hindsight, and different countries' Moral Guardians have different standards. There's also the fact that, in the past, the line between "child" and "adult" wasn't always drawn at the same age as it is now, and children weren't always expected to be shielded by default from the horrible realities of the world around them. Another reason for this trope is that a good number of children are quite fond of scary or violent things, and are often too young to understand the reasons many of these stories are considered dark. Often confused with What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?, where a work is commonly mistaken as being for kids even when it is not. When played for laughs, see Demographically Inappropriate Humour. Another major reason for this reaction is that the core cast of the work in question are animals instead of humans. It has been noted with many examples listed here that despite having the similar mature themes along with the presence of blood and violence, whether the cast is human or animal often solely determines whether it gets shelved to the young adult or children's section respectively in bookstores and libraries.

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_117dc363	comment	Condorito is a Long Runner, so he has fans of different generations, including children of 8 or 10 years. However many of his jokes have a lot of Black Comedy, a lot of violence - including deaths - used humorously, etc. In addition to that in the oldest stories they include all kinds of ethnic stereotypes that are less acceptable today.

Expansions for Dimensions include ones for PG-13-rated Mission: Impossible and innuendo-laden Ghostbusters. Agent Smith of R-rated The Matrix even appeared in The LEGO Batman Movie expansion!

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_1da7c58	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift and Avatar: The Last Airbender – North and South both explore the darker sides of the industrialization that tends to follow wars. In The Rift, the industrialization of a small town has both caused them to build over an Air nomad holy site, but also forgotten a festival meant to appease the spirits, and the spirits in question are pissed. Aang does eventually appease them, but general Old Iron thinks that spirits have no place in this world. In North and South, Katara and Sokka return home to find their old village turned into a city thanks to the aid of the Northern Water Tribe. While this does come with significant improvements in life standard, Katara worries that it will cause the loss of the unique Southern Water Tribe culture, especially since the NWT tends to act a lot like white saviors (except not white). The story does not reach any definitive conclusion to this, but shows both sides to be in the right. On the one side, the SWT has a unique culture that deserves to be preserved. On the other, the industrialization has improved the life of the south significantly, especially for non-benders.

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_25bfbf9e	comment	My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic preaches that things like love and tolerance are actually worthless and only brutal force can lead to true happiness. Characters get Killed Off for Real in rather brutal ways for little kids, and there are certain sexual innuendos to be found in the entire story. Yet the author proclaims that the fanfiction is way better entertainment for kids than the actual show it rips off of. The best example for it may be a chapter of My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II, in which Fluttershy is in the hospital to be operated on. A changeling slips in and tries to kill her by cutting her open and letting her bleed to death.

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_283f4f74	comment	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures was created by Archie Comics as a Lighter and Softer substitute for the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics, which were much darker, gorier, and intended for older audiences. It started out in the vein of the silly cartoon series that aired around the time of its initial release, but like the Sonic comics from the same company, elements of continuity, sociopolitical commentary, and violence began to creep in as the series went on, some of which really pushed the boundaries of the The Comics Code. It culminated in an infamous story arc where the Turtles face off against (and punch out!) Adolf Hitler.

Without going into detail, let's just say a military war, and more specifically several particularly harrowing character arcs, are not kind to either of those principles.

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_2a77a546	comment	The Inside Out story Intercom has a K+ rating on Fanfiction.net, which is generally the equivalent to the original film's PG rating. In spite of that, however, this story is pretty dark (at least once Cerebus Syndrome kicks in) as it features rather mature subjects such as mental disorders and Riley deciding to take anti-psychosis medication behind her parents' back. Luckily the latter point is alleviated, but then worse problems begin to arise...

The creator's raunchy sense of humor (including an entire family of predators known as "fuckers") seems to say otherwise. That aside, however, it's mostly a perfectly decent site for general audiences.

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_35f1d3fb	comment	G.I. Joe as a whole gets this treatment, actually. Because it happened in the comics, there are those older viewers/readers who think that every TV show and movie—past, present, future, and otherwise—should use real bullets instead of (the Hasbro-mandated) lasers, and that there should be more onscreen deaths simply because of the military nature of the concept and toyline (which goes all the way back to the 1960s or 70s; i.e., before the "Real American Hero" era). Aside from the aforementioned Resolute, the closest the fans got to a version of Joe they wanted was probably the live-action movie series.

When Zuko realizes that the vast majority of the colonies' population are second, third, fourth or more generation colonists who know no other life than what they have in the colonies and that it would be wrong to uproot them all and move them to a nation they've never been in, it brings him into conflict with Earth King Kuwei, who quite understandably sees them only as invaders who stole land rightfully belonging to the Earth Kingdom.

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_5fe8632b	comment	Aside for the above-mentioned Paperinik and Paperinik New Adventures, Disney Italy has created W.I.T.C.H. (with plenty of nightmarish situations), Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine (in which Mickey Mouse finds himself operating in a city dirtier than Gotham), and has a habit of showing Scrooge shooting at someone with intent to maim (with a rock salt-loaded blunderbuss) or, in the past, kill (with a buckshot-loaded double-barreled shotgun). The Reginella Saga deals with the love story between Donald and the titular alien queen and features such lovely things as Reginella, usually a nice girl, outright kidnapping Donald and wipe his memory to keep him with her before events forced her to release him in the first story. The apex is achieved with the third one, where we have a furious Donald disrupting Reginella's forced wedding with a shotgun and putting up a Mook Horror Show on an entire army. That he then threatens to finish off if they don't melt their weapons into agricultural tools right now. L'Inferno di Topolino (Mickey's Hell) is a Disney version of Dante's Inferno. Despite being massively Lighter and Softer than its inspiration, it includes bits like this (which, in original, has the same verse structure of the poem):

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_69fa7496	comment	Disney Ducks Comic Universe: Disney Italy created Paperinik, Donald Duck's Super Hero alter ego... who is actually an Unscrupulous Hero who sadistically torments anyone pissing Donald off but gets mistaken for an actual superhero, by characters and some writers and readers alike, because criminals are at or near the top of his shit list; whenever the writers remember his origins he's chased by the whole police force because he's just that scary, has gadgets to spray acid (for use on locks, fortunately) and to wipe out memories, stopped going around with an actual M1911 pistol only after replacing it with a multi-purpose beam weapon that includes a Disintegrator Ray, and, in an early story, tried to murder Gladstone before thousands of witnesses (disguised as a mere and well-deserved kick in the butt... that threw Gladstone from a tower). The Paperinik New Adventures series, inspired by American superhero comics, introduced the Evronians, an Horde of Alien Locusts out to eat our emotions (save for a few people to keep as cattle) and transform us into Slave Mooks. Also, a survivor of Xerba, a planet invaded by the Evronians, has transformed herself into a Physical Goddess, out to commit genocide against the Evronians as payback for their invasion of her homeworld. Basically the whole reason why the relatively obscure story "The Call of C'Russo" is so widely known. It plays the despair-inducing and existential dread of the Cosmic Horror Story genre completely straight for a Disney comic. The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck reads, essentially, like an adventure novel. If the main characters had been human instead of Funny Animals and the comic hadn't made liberal use of Discretion Shots and Bloodless Carnage, it would have slotted in quite neatly next to Blueberry and Modesty Blaise.

For example, the junior version of Legally Blonde cuts out many of the sexual references of the original, while the junior version of Once on This Island omits Ti Moune's suicide. Some people accept this, while others are skeptical or believe that the alterations don't go far enough.

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_6fe3e8a7	comment	Neopets is a rather weird example in itself. By the mid-2000s, when the site's popularity was at its peak, it was clearly aimed primarily at young children; however, when the site first started out, it was mostly used by college/university students. Various remnants of material from that time (such as the Ski-Lodge Mystery plot) stuck around, waiting to be prime scariness for any children who happened to stumble across them. Nowadays, the kids who used the site during its heyday have grown up and many have returned out of nostalgia, while the number of younger users has decreased significantly, causing another shift back to an older audience - while the site remains very similar to how it was when its audience skewed younger, complete with infamously overactive profanity filters and highly restrictive forum rules banning people from mentioning other websites and "controversial topics". The current fanbase frequently requests the addition of a section of the Neoboards for older users, with less restrictive rules.

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_72262aee	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender already had a lot of themes you wouldn't expect to see from a children's show, ranging from abusive families to what growing up in a war does to a child, but the comics went full in on the political themes that were only touched on in the show, spending a great deal of time exploring the realistic consequences of 100 years of war: Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise explores the consequences of longtime colonization. When Zuko realizes that the vast majority of the colonies' population are second, third, fourth or more generation colonists who know no other life than what they have in the colonies and that it would be wrong to uproot them all and move them to a nation they've never been in, it brings him into conflict with Earth King Kuwei, who quite understandably sees them only as invaders who stole land rightfully belonging to the Earth Kingdom. Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift and Avatar: The Last Airbender – North and South both explore the darker sides of the industrialization that tends to follow wars. In The Rift, the industrialization of a small town has both caused them to build over an Air nomad holy site, but also forgotten a festival meant to appease the spirits, and the spirits in question are pissed. Aang does eventually appease them, but general Old Iron thinks that spirits have no place in this world. In North and South, Katara and Sokka return home to find their old village turned into a city thanks to the aid of the Northern Water Tribe. While this does come with significant improvements in life standard, Katara worries that it will cause the loss of the unique Southern Water Tribe culture, especially since the NWT tends to act a lot like white saviors (except not white). The story does not reach any definitive conclusion to this, but shows both sides to be in the right. On the one side, the SWT has a unique culture that deserves to be preserved. On the other, the industrialization has improved the life of the south significantly, especially for non-benders. In Avatar: The Last Airbender - Smoke and Shadow, newly minted Fire Lord Zuko struggles with how much power he should exhert to protect his people while avoiding becoming a tyrannical dictator like his father. When the children of the Fire Nation start going missing, people start blaming him for not doing enough to protect him, and the New Ozai Society terrorist organization gains traction by organizing militias to protect the people if the Fire Lord is unable to.

Star Wars and Harry Potter are initially PG material (with the later, darker ones being PG-13) but we also have the Burton/Schumacher Batman films (all PG-13), the Pirates of the Caribbean films (likewise) and the Indiana Jones series (first two are PG, but only because PG-13 didn't exist, and The Temple of Doom was partially responsible for its creation).

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_7a7a1a86	comment	The 1980s and 90s were simpler times with much more lax restrictions on what was considered "Child-friendly." To that end, Aliens, Predator, and RoboCop got toylines. You know, the shows with, respectively, face-raping alien scorpions, an evil alien safari hunter who skins people alive, and a man being shot 57 times while he screams in agony on-camera. Even gory slasher media have toy lines for children. Then there was the kid's cartoon, toy line and Star Comics comic title based around the Police Academy films. While the later installments were indeed Lighter and Softer and PG-rated around the time of Police Academy 3: Back In Training, the first film was VERY R-rated, and was basically a raunchy sex comedy set at the titular academy. Even with the Lighter and Softer, later installments still had their quota of adult humornote mostly in the Ms. Fanservice character of Lieutenant Callahan and a Running Gag where the antagonists end up somehow at the "Blue Oyster" gay bar.

The most well-known story ("Applejack once killed a man") involves Applejack saving ponies who are forced to be slaves and have gone blind from being in the dark so long. Applejack kills the Wizard who's forcing them to dig up gems (the comic says that she killed him by accident, but you can see her bucking him into a chasm plain as day), and gems from his throne get lodged in the blind ponies' eyes, which gives them back their vision. This is not the only Surprisingly Creepy Moment in this comic for little girls.

Most graphically, in the very first episode, the protagonist shoots the ear off the main villain who is then shown holding his own severed ear, with blood all over his hand and head. In general, the graphic shooting and stabbing of Mooks is clearly seen as no big deal. Civilians and heroes can die too; for example, in one episode, a monkey child gets eaten by the villain.

On the surface, it's a happy, child-friendly Minecraft series about a YouTuber (renowned for being one of the most child-friendly Minecraft-based content creators on the platform) building and playing minigames in his happy, fun-filled world with his friends... and then there's HitTheTarget, who uses methods such as kidnapping, drugging and even outright torture and/or attempts to sentence the protagonist to a Fate Worse than Death at least twice to achieve his less-than-savory goals. Oh, and suicide becomes a plot point in an episode (even if it's not considered as big of a deal in a survival Minecraft setting, in theory), there are plenty of fearful moments throughout the series, and by Episode 700, the main protagonist is implied in more cynical interpretations to be a severely traumatized workaholic who's repressing his issues to the point that it took about seven years for anyone to notice. Granted, most of the horror falls into the Fridge Horror category, but the point still stands.

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_b4967d43	comment	Most of the comic book stories starring Sonic the Hedgehog. Way back in the 90s, in the Archie Comics series, Sally’s mentor Julayla dies of old age. Pretty tame, right? Nothing too bad except for how horrifying Eggman aka Robotnik looks. Fast forward over a decade later, and you have Scourge (formerly Anti-Sonic) implying that he murdered his own father and gouged out Patch’s eye. Also, we get plenty of fanservice in the later comics from characters like Bunnie, Fiona, Rouge, Sally, and the female echidnas like Julie-Su, Lara-Su, and Lien-Da. In the IDW series, many of the characters get turned into evil zombie robots due to the Metal Virus (Shadow and Vector look especially creepy), with Sonic himself getting infected and nearly succumbing to the virus. Sonic “hooking up” with Fiona before she became evil. Said characters are 15 and 16 years old respectively. How did THIS make it past the censors?! Some sex jokes involving Scourge, Fiona, Bunnie, and Rouge have been thrown in. They’ll likely go over a kid’s head, but there’s one involving Bunnie calling herself a “sax-cymbal”. The Metal Virus saga in the IDW series is a top contender for the bleakest Sonic story ever. The 21-issue arc is almost nonstop misery from start to finish, and if older readers were as drained as Team Sonic was by the time of their Darkest Hour, one can only imagine how younger readers must've felt. The Metal Virus itself, a bioweapon created by Dr. Eggman, is a Spiritual Successor to his roboticizers in the Archie series and the old weekend morning cartoons. But whereas old-school roboticization was instantaneous, this new form of it is slow, painful, and (for a kids' comic) pretty gruesome. Those who succumb to the Metal Virus turn into zombie-like robots called "Zombots", which, with their red eyes, sharp teeth, gruesome Spikes of Villainy, and perpetually angry faces, are not a pretty sight to behold, their ability to infect with merely a small touch notwithstanding. By far the most horrifying Zombot-ification is that of Tangle the Lemur, the IDW series' resident Plucky Comic Relief. Unlike other such transformations, hers happens completely on-page and is very detailed. Her Zombot form is one of the ugliest, too. Sonic manages to hold off his own Metal Virus infection by repeatedly running it off, but he nearly exhausts himself to death doing so and the infection finally overcomes his speed during the Zombot arc's climax. And just before Silver cures him via the Chaos Emeralds, Zombot spikes sprout all over Sonic's body like an awful skin condition. Yeesh... The tragic tale of Whisper the Wolf. Long story short, she was once part of an elite anti-Eggman mercenary squad, but one of her friends turned traitor and the others were consequently slaughtered by Eggman's robots; poor Whisper, the Sole Survivor, became a traumatized shadow of her former self, rarely speaking up and keeping no company but a small handful of Wisps. She opens up to Tangle with some hesitation, only for Tangle to fall victim to the Metal Virus and break Whisper's heart all over again. To add to Whisper's dismay, Sonic and co.'s only hope of stopping the plague is a a subsequent truce with Eggman against the Deadly Six; this, combined with Eggman's Joker Immunity, screws Whisper out of avenging her losses to him, although thankfully she gets compensated when Sonic and Silver destroy the Metal Virus, bringing back Tangle and the plague's other victims. Mimic the Octopus, the traitor who sold Whisper's team out to Eggman, is an Ax-Crazy shapeshifter who often combines his true form's facial features with those of the people he impersonates; what results is not kid-friendly at all. The Deadly Six make their IDW debut late in the Metal Virus saga and prove to be much eviler than they are in the games as they seize control of the Zombots from Eggman. They've always been violent Sadists, but what really makes their IDW incarnations horrifying is their malevolence towards children. For example: one of the six Zeti, Zor, outright says he wants to have a child Zombot-ified and make the father watch. By the time the Zeti come along, Cream the Rabbit, a cute six-year-old girl and one of Sonic's nicest friends, has lost more to the Metal Virus than anyone else. When the Zeti get involved, however, Cream's already rotten luck kicks into overdrive. Shortly before getting infected with the Metal Virus herself (and likely succumbing off-screen), she's physically abused by the Zeti girl Zeena, who dangles her in front of some Zombots while manhandling her (according to a recent Word of God, the original script had Zeena kicking Cream around while she was already down, but luckily that idea was scrapped). Later, after the Metal Virus is finally destroyed and its victims restored to normal, Cream is confronted by the leader of the Deadly Six, Zavok, who threatens to kill her out of spite for Sonic. Thank goodness the poor girl finally caught a break later on...

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_b69c9abc	comment	Many English-speaking commenters have this reaction whenever Lauri, host of the Hydraulic Press Channel, mentions cutting out certain types of content and posting it to his alternate Beyond the Press channel instead, believing it to be too intense for all of the young children who watch his main HPC channel. He's taken requests, almost all of which have come from children under the age of five, for end-of-episode clay animals, despite the fact that he swears up a storm in most videos. One wonders if the parents of those young children just tell them he's actually speaking Finnish whenever he swears.

In its home market of Britain, the game is (or at least was for a long time) primarily targeted at posh children and early teens. In the US, it is considered a very adult setting, with copious amounts of gore and Nightmare Fuel, dystopian nihilism, and heavily implied sexual themes as well (regarding the Dark Eldar and Slaanesh). Most American players are college students and adults. In fact, an announcement for a series of children's books based on the setting was met with derision among American fans. In continental Europe, Russia, and Canada, the game is marketed equally to both groups.

However, the later installments contain some surprisingly dark and mature themes, including sexual innuendo. For instance, about half of Book 22 has Tytus accidentally turn evil due to Phlebotinum and subsequently run a criminal gang whose activities are depicted quite realistically; meanwhile book 26 ("Tytus's Honeymoon") has Tytus and his wife fly a vehicle which is propelled by them having sex onboard.

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_d9c4a85e	comment	The Marvel Adventures line is written for the 5-12 kid demographic, but it seems designed to address most of the adult audience's criticism of the Marvel line: it has a much less confusing continuity, steers away from the Wangst and bleakness the main line tended to indulge in, and sidestepped the whole Civil War (2006) fiasco, and the rest of the dueling-author messes completely. Marvel Adventures appeals to adults who liked mainstream Marvel Comics from the 1960s to 1980s, IE when they were targeted to kids and teens. The fact that said period is largely considered to be the company's hey-day is a reminder that tropes are not bad. (Also, forget the 80s; Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man has the Blonde Phantom as a Recurrer. Remember her? No? Ask your grandparents.) Interestingly, as much as Darker and Edgier is considered a good thing, it is quite lighter than the mainstream comics. It turns out that if you tell a good story, people will enjoy it over a poor one that has more blood, sex, and swearing.

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers scribe Simon Furman complained about this trope in regards to the dark Beast Machines. It should be noted just how much of Simon Furman's work fits into this category. When the writer of the bloodbath the Marvel Generation 2 comics became calls something too dark, you know you've taken Darker and Edgier too far. Furman was specifically concerned about the "For Kids" part of this trope. He was very much about darker, more fatal Transformers stories, but he was explicitly writing with an older audience in mind than the cartoon series are marketed towards. It's a bit understandable, though, if you look at the premise devoid of context: Two factions of a race of alien war machines come to Earth, their war has gone on so long that battling for the resources our planet can give them to continue the war effort is more important than the war itself. The weakest of them has enough power to slaughter dozens of human soldiers and come away with nothing more than a badly-scratched paint job. At best, their feelings towards us are paternalistic, and they look down with a combination of pity and admiration on those of our species who see it as their sworn duty to defend us from them. At worst, they find us repulsive and enjoy slaughtering us when they have a chance. It sure doesn't sound like the backstory of a kids' franchise. . . yet that's exactly what it is.
