"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanThis page confuses the piss out of me, does the show have to be G-Rated or not to go here?
Zero Context Example that needs elaboration:
"Polite life will fill you full of cancer." - Iggy Pop "I've seen the future, brother, it is murder." -Leonard Cohen Hide / Show RepliesAdded back context.
Also removed PMMM (again!) for the reason I stated below.
Scientia et Libertas | Per Aspera ad Astra NovaI removed Puella Magi Madoka Magica. My understanding of this trope (which agrees with what was written in Canonical List of Subtle Trope Distinctions ) was that anything listed here should be able to get a G-rating (or at most a PG-13) from the average Moral Guardian, despite targetting to an older demographic.
In this sense, PMMM is clearly impossible to get that kind of rating and hence Not An Example. I'm also on the fence about PSG and Lucky Star—the sexual content on these were not that veiled, but not that serious—and in the case of latter, it was only conversed, discussed or lampshaded.
Edited by SamCurt Scientia et Libertas | Per Aspera ad Astra Nova Hide / Show RepliesIt probably could have gotten a low-offensiveness rating for the first two episodes, though. It doesn't become a Subverted Kids' Show until the end of the third (which was the whole idea). Might make sense to leave it in, with a note to that effect.
Although, either way, I'm removing Princess Mononoke, which seems to be here entirely because of its title; nothing else about it would make anyone think it's Disney-esque (there's more gore and violence in the first ten minutes of that movie than in the entirety of PMMM).
Image should be Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt. Art style is cute and colorful, but just rolling over the title tells you that something's amiss.
Hide / Show RepliesIf you have a (GOOD) picture, just add it - or better, start an Image Pickin-Thread.
Btw., does someone know what show the current pic is from?
We should retitle this to match the other “What do you mean?” tropes. Rename it to "What Do You Mean, It's Not For Little Girls?"
Nothing important, really, more like a minor pet peeve.
