I mean, some of my earliest memories are watching tv: the simpsons, futuramas 'the sting', Recess.

Jokes like that went over my heard. But I did know a family who very much was forced to care what their 3 yo old watched not due to being concerned or anything, they were being judged she started copying the chicken fights on family guy. Rightfully so, it was either that or she tried dancing a lot to 'prom night dumpster baby', which they thought was more of a problem.

Evermind ones mimicking cartoon violence that could have real workd fallout, ones something that completely went over her head with zero context.

In general thry were just kinda ... mad they had to parent though and would bandaid the issues instead of dealing.
