History PlayingWith / MoralGuardians

** B.A.N. is fine with violence, profanity, drugs, etc., but only as long as they're shown in a negative light.

* '''Downplayed''': B.A.N only campaigns for the removal of immoral themes and disturbing imagery in [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids children's shows.]]

* '''Straight''': [[FunWithAcronyms B.A.N. (Battle All Naughtiness)]] is a group of people who seek to ban anything immoral they see on television shows - [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence violence]], [[SexIsEvil sexual themes]], [[PrecisionFStrike profanity]], [[DrugsAreBad drug usage]], and/or [[ArsonMurderAndJayWalking bad manners. ]]

* B.A.N believe that entertainment has grown complacent and lazy by resorting to crude, licentious and overly violent content instead of actually trying to create something interesting that won't age like milk within a decade.

* '''Deconstructed''': B.A.N. wants the mitigation of any amoral content they find, but [[ValuesDissonance the times they lived in (or the place they used to live) have a different set of morals than where and when they are now: what may have been heinous in their day is considered tame now, so their objections are less being uptight and unreasonable and more unfamiliarity with the attitudes of the community.]] Even in their own group what could stand to be protected and what couldn't is a long running discussion held at several meetings, and they may even loosen up on some media they condemned earlier with a rewatch down the line: heck, they might even be right on banning something in a case or two, but the main problem they need to correct is looking at the piece as they see it ''before'' firing, not the other way around. As self-proclaimed guardians, they've begun to realize that maybe they don't know the public's best interests when it comes to moral media.
* B.A.N turn out to be a bunch of puritanical hypocrites who want all sexual content banned because they believe that only ''they'' deserve to be licentious and that sex was created to be enjoyed by God's chosen people.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Not that it will stop them from trying to get those changes made, of course.
** But the media ''is'' getting out of control with showing morally unwholesome stuff, and if they don't at least make it known, things are going to end badly.

* '''Played For Horror''': The members of B.A.N. are [[TautologicalTemplar tautological]] KnightTemplar-types who see no issue [[DisproportionateRetribution going full Spanish Inquisition on the stuff they deem immoral]]. They have quite a lot of literal skeletons in the closet, and the body count just keeps on rising.

* B.A.N (Ban All Niceness) is a hate group that despise the idea of teaching children empathy and compassion, and want to replace it with racial supremacy and hate for non-conforming people.

* '''Played For Horror''': The members of B.A.N. are [[TautologicalTemplar tautological]] KnightTemplar-types who see no issue [[DisproportionateRetribution going full Spanish Inquisition on the stuff they deem immoral]].

* '''Played For Laughs''': The media guardians are a bunch of ultra-milquetoast holy-writ-thumpers who faint if they see exposed ankles and would make [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Ned Flanders]] (who has his moments being one of these in the show) [[EveryoneHasStandards tell them to take a chill pill]].

* '''Reconstructed''': It takes a while for B.A.N. to readjust their line of thinking. The group has a better handle on what shows to watch out for, and lobby their complaints accordingly.

* '''Straight''': [[FunWithAcronyms B.A.N. (Battle All Naughtiness)]] is a group of people who seek to ban anything immoral they see on television shows - [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence violence]], [[SexIsEvil sexual themes]], [[PrecisionFStrike profanity]], [[DrugsAreBad drug usage]], and/or [[ArsonMurderAndJayWalking bad manners. ]] .

* '''Downplayed''': B.A.N. only bans anything that is too extreme for viewers.
** B.A.N only campaigns for the removal of immoral themes and disturbing imagery in [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids children's shows.]]
* '''Justified''': B.A.N. wants the authors of the show to ThinkOfTheChildren who are prone to mimic bad behavior on television.

*** B.A.N. was formed because the rest of the town was outright [[ApatheticCitizens apathetic]] to what they were watching.

** A Moral Guardian ''is'' the writer and wants to show that a story can be wholesome and entertaining, or that not everyone concerned with content is a crazy villain.

** B.A.N. was formed because the rest of the town was outright [[ApatheticCitizens apathetic]] to what they were watching.

** B.A.N. turns out only to care about certain kinds of immoral behavior, such any hint of sex. They're just fine with media that openly support stealing from the poor to give to the rich, for example.
** While at first B.A.N. appeared to be spoilsports and SourGrapes, an actual viewing of the show suggests that they are [[TheExtremistWasRight right to protest it.]] Especially when one episode of the show features a graphic sex scene despite being targeted specifically for young children to watch.

--> '''B.A.N. Member 2:''' Don't be silly! B.A.N. ''has'' to be uptight and unreasonable! Nobody ever listens when you try to talk on their level.

* '''Deconstructed''': B.A.N. wants the mitigation of any amoral content they find, but [[ValuesDissonance the times they lived in (or the place they used to live) have a different set of morals than where and when they are now.]] What may have been heinous in their day is considered tame now, so their objections are less being uptight and unreasonable and more unfamiliarity with the attitudes of the community. Even in their own group what could stand to be protected and what couldn't is a long running discussion held at several meetings, and they may even loosen up on some media they condemned earlier with a rewatch down the line. Heck, they might even be right on banning something in a case or two, but the main problem they need to correct is looking at the piece as they see it ''before'' firing, not the other way around. As self-proclaimed guardians, they've begun to realize that maybe they don't know the public's best interests when it comes to moral media.

* '''Exaggerated''': B.A.N. is a group of [[KnightTemplar pious and self-righteous]] people who seek to cancel all shows for showing the slightest hint of any immoral behavior on ''every'' form of media, [[JaywalkingWillRuinYourLife especially]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking jaywalking]].

* '''Reconstructed''': The group has a better handle on what the community wants, but no matter ''what'' they find, the community still isn't having any of it. After all, why should they let a group handle moral values when the community could do it themselves?

** Bob [[GenreSavvy knows]] that people hate B.A.N. and hires actors to complain about his show so more people will want to watch it in spite.
** Harry, a company rival of Bob, plans to get more ratings on ''his'' show by hiring B.A.N. to ruin Bob's show.

* '''Deconstructed''': B.A.N. wants the mitigation of any amoral content they find, but [[ValuesDissonance the times they lived in have a different set of morals than the current day.]] What may have been heinous in their day is considered tame now, so their objections are less being uptight and unreasonable and more unfamiliarity with modern attitudes. Even in their own group what could stand to be protected and what couldn't is a long running discussion held at several meetings, and they may even loosen up on some media they condemned earlier with a rewatch down the line. As self-proclaimed guardians, they've begun to realize that maybe they don't know the public's best interests when it comes to moral media.
* '''Reconstructed''': B.A.N. is eventually overthrown by LaResistance, and things go back to normal- however, TheRemnant of B.A.N. continues to act as moral guardians and tries to rally support to bring back the old regime, to no avail.

* '''Deconstructed''': B.A.N. wants the mitigation of any amoral content they find, but [[ValuesDissonance the times they lived in have a different set of morals than the current day.]] What may have been heinous in their day is considered tame now, so their objections are less being uptight and unreasonable and more unfamiliarity with varied attitudes. Even in their own group what could stand to be protected and what couldn't is a long running discussion held at several meetings, and they may even loosen up on some media they condemned earlier with a rewatch down the line. As self-proclaimed guardians, they've begun to realize that maybe they don't know their best interests.

** [[TheEmpire B.A.N.]] bans any kind of inappropriate content on all media with a cult-like obsession, no matter how petty. Every video game, television, sports, literature, and music industry on Earth is ultimately boycotted and eventually shut down and their employees executed by B.A.N. while the Earth's human population lives miserably boring lives without any kind of entertainment. B.A.N. installs a BigBrotherIsWatching system to spy on any human being trying to have any kind of fun, and if they catch them, they [[DisproportionateRetribution subject them to viciously cold torture]] and horrifying MindRape, and lock them up in {{Room101}} [[AndIMustScream for millennia while forcefully keeping them alive and fully aware]]. Long story short, ''[[NiceJobBreakingItHero B.A.N. killed the entire media forever, and conquered the planet]]'', essentially transforming Earth into a massive {{dystopia}}.
