About the photo, I apologize for not finishing the sentence as I thought.
Osomatsu-kun = for kids/shonen | Osomatsu-san = for adults/josei
Super Sentai = for kids | Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger = for teens and adults, especially otakus
Kamen Rider = for kids | Kamen Rider The First, The Next and Amazons = for adults
Power Rangers = for kids | Saban’s Power Rangers (2017) = for teens and adults. (Because it’s rated PG-13)
Transformers = for kids | Bayformers = for teens and adults. (Same outcome as PR2017, but before it)
Outcome = people don’t mind a mature version of the things mentioned. (Even if PR17 and Bayformers might get hate from others)
But when MLP, a franchise for kids, gets suggestive (saucy) to explicit (R34) stuff from fans (fanart, fanfics, etc.), people are acting like it’s the end of the world and will prevent it from getting a PG-13 incarnation like MMPR and Transformers did.
And people say it’s a cartoon for children and use it as an excuse to hate these kinds of things, and yet they didn’t say that to Yoichi Fujita, Pierrot, Toei Company, Saban Brands, Dean Israelite, Michael Bay, Naruhisa Arakawa and Yasuko Kobayashi when they turned those franchises made for kids into something for older audiences.
How? Discuss.
