* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: The magazine is ''ridiculously'' mild by today's standards.
* [[I Read It for the Articles]]: [http://coldcrashpictures.blogspot.com/2010/11/playboy-has-words-in-it-too.html Some people really do.] See also [[Periphery Demographic]].
** As ofIn 2015, ''Playboy'' is goingwent PG-13, [http://nymag.com/thecut/2015/10/playboy-to-ditch-nudes-focus-on-the-articles.html moving away from naked women] toward a greater focus on articles. CEO Scott Flanders recognized that because print can no longer compete with free Internet porn, ''Playboy'' ought to focus on the journalism that it ''can'' do better. And it appeared to have worked at first, attracting a somewhat more desirable demographic of younger men... but the move was undone in 2017.
** In [[The Eighties]], the U.S. government attempted to slash funding to have ''Playboy'' published in braille, effectively getting rid of the one segment of the population that ''really did'' read it for the articles.
* [[Moral Guardians]]: As noted below, ''Playboy'' has long been a favorite target for both fundamentalists and feminists. The magazine has returned the favor by sniping at them in its articles and editorials over the decades. (In one early 1980s issue, Playboy ran a rather [[Anvilicious]] parody of itself as it might look under fundamentalist editorship.)
