Why don't more cartoons show blood?

I really wish Steven would get mutilated more, show his human side. Maybe lose an eye like I was hoping
Isaac Anderson
Standards and Practices and soccer moms say "blood bad". So the only thing they're allowed to do is nose bleeds.
Then again, Adventure Time got away with a heart exploding blood in the Enchiridion episode.
Xavier King
The Loud House had quite a bit of blood, courtesy of Clyde.

>Maybe lose an eye like I was hoping
That's too violent for the target demographic and pretty out of place for a series about women crying over stupid shit. Plus if he did lose an eye it'd probably just grow back. And everyone involved would be paranoid that some retarded kid might lose an eye reenacting the scene thinking it'd grow back.
Juan Walker
The general rule Cartoon Network has is this
>Is it human
If yes, you can't have it bleed out
If no, kill away
Parker Wood
Because these are baby shows and blood freaks babies and soccer moms out.
Nathan Edwards
I think the rule is different for TV movies. Steven never bled during the show
Gavin Nguyen
Sounds about right. The CN show in also needs at least a TV-PG rating to get by.
Gabriel Morris
plenty of cartoons show blood. watch more cartoons.
Connor Cooper
Examples? Even nosebleeds are super rare.
Colton Gray
OP should've specified children's cartoons.
Jayden Moore
Oh but farts, shit, disgusting art styles and defaming school as this degenerate place full of football jocks, ugly cheerleaders and butthurt failed adults is acceptable? Fuck CN and fuck Nick.
Bentley Gomez
superior question: why did I click on this thread?
Ayden Peterson
I think the most you'll get besides nosebleeds (and with humans at least) is a cut finger or similar.
Levi Ramirez
>it took the biggest faggot to show some balls
lmao
Chase Hughes
Just watch any show on Adult Swim
Hunter Moore
>series about women crying over stupid shit
did you even watch the show?
Joshua Gutierrez
oh yea, there's also that faggot steven, good catch!
Ryder Lee
Yes. We are talking about Crying Breakfast Friends, right?
Parker Roberts
The only red they want to show kids comes from a flag, with a splash of yellow in the corner.
William Taylor
cause if characters start bleeding it's no longer cartoon violence and then potentially effects the rating and even when they do use blood they try to keep it down to a cut or a nose bleed so a younger audience can still watch it without it being labeled as overly violent
Henry Johnson
Why SHOULD they? What inherent value is there in explicit violence?
a SHIT TON, THAT'S WHAT
Michael Price
who spat in this fella's cereal?
Jaxson Adams
Farts are funny
Justin Rivera
*affects
Austin Perez
i genuinely hope one day we get a hulk game where you can kill humans in powersuits with this level of violence
Gavin Moore
Some dramatic (so no Spongebob or that) moments of bloody violence that I remember in kid's cartoons:
Captain Simian: The villain makes one of his henchmen explode into gore (pic-related).
The Greatest Adventure Stories from the Bible: Goliath's death is really bloody, and a dude gets his ear sliced off in the Jesus episode along with all of the shots of the bloodied and tortured Jesus.
Highlander: One episode was full of bloody gunshot wounds, and another had the villain start bleeding after being stabbed in the gut
Mason Johnson
Because people born after 1995 have been conditioned into seeing any conflict that isnt sanitized or morally binary as being unacceptable.
Chase Cook
this episode was great, Lake shouldn't have gotten a happy ending, she isn't a real person anyway
Wyatt Thompson
Retard
Dylan Rogers
>Captain Simian
Syndicated show. TV shows can get away with more in syndication.
Kayden Perry
But she was sentient and had human emotions. She was very much a living being worthy of her own individual freedom.
