You're probably right.

As someone who has watched the newest season of Young Justice... in one episode it is revealed casually that Lagoon Boy is in an inter-species throuple with two Atlanteans, one of which is pregnant.

Like... that's dope and I enjoyed the season, but the show is definitely skewing to a more mature audience.

I don’t think it’s being very careful, really. A lot of older humor is based on What You Are. It’s simple, easy, and frequent offensive.

It’s harder to write comedy of What You Do, or complicated situational humor. It makes the writers room have to be more creative, but it’s a better approach anyway. I approve.

I would say that all of this could change once every (1st World) person has the ability to generate their own AI entertainment... but AI is woefully censored/biased, so this likely won't be a solution to the "offense taken" problem that so many people with 1st World Problems seem to have.

Good thing we can complain about "offensive" teevee shows on the devices made with minerals extracted by literal child miners in Africa. Black Lives Matter, just not THOSE Black Lives, amirite Reddit?

Gonna need more child slave labor to get a Tesla into every garage and 2 bug casseroles in every pot in America.
