(...) I mostly agree with you on this point.

(...) Based on my experiences: no. Crayon Shinchan - a popular kids' cartoon a few years back, sort of a Japanese 'Dennis the Menace' - had plenty of nudity (male and female - animated, but still) and sex jokes. Wandering the streets of Osaka, I (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Hmmm...how young are kids that play with Barbies again? (...) Nice job turning the question around, but I don't think that's the right way to ask it.
