Line 39:
* Occurs in-Universe in ''[[Young Justice (Animation)|Young Justice]]'': in the beginning of the episode "Image" {{spoiler|Black Canary is shown a video of herself kissing Superboy, to her astonishment. The woman in the video is actually Miss Martian, playing a game common on Mars (where everyone can shapeshift and read minds). The real Black Canary is not pleased.}}
* Due to changing attitudes towards violence in media, what was acceptable for children in [[The Eighties]] gets very different treatment today. The TV ratings system did not exist then, so a show like ''Thundercats'' generally would have been a TV-Y7 if it had. The show got bumped up to a TV-PG when it was rerun on Toonami. The 2011 reboot also got slapped with a TV-PG. Similarly, reruns of ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' and ''[[Transformers Generation One]]'' on The Hub are now rated TVPG due to greater concern about violence on TV. This doesn't always work, as both shows are rated TV-Y7 on iTunes and Netflix, but [[Animation Age Ghetto|that's another trope entirely]].
* Drug use in many early animated programs and films could also fall under this category since it’s now a factor in rating system
** ''[[Pinocchio (Disney)| Pinocchio]]'' had the sentient puppet smoking cigar with Lampwick as the boys play a game of pool. Pinocchio wasn't a human yet, but this kind of action wouldn’t settle well today due to the risks in tobacco products. The Motion Pictures Association of America would’ve given the film a PG-13 or PG rating due to this.
** ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures (Animation)| Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', “One Beer” had Plucky, Buster, and Hampton displaying the dangers of abusing alcoholic beverages. Despite the message, it was banned for obvious reasons.
