I might be wrong here, but I think the article might be missing the "subtle" thing or the requirement of censors. Hell, the header of Radar.Star Vs The Forces Of Evil (If Gravity Falls was proof that Disney's censors were adopting a laissez-faire approach to what content their cartoons could show, this show proves that Disney doesn't even HAVE censors anymore!) assumes that censors just up and quit which would make the trope implode because all the crap gets by by default. Then there are the examples that claim that a character is made of this trope (Risky Boots for example) that give off the implications that the censors should had been fired years ago, Radar.Futurama (isn't that an adultish cartoon?) and Radar.Pinball (I'm not sure that everything popular in the 8s had a Censorship Bureau on each)

Risky Boots example FYI, the 2nd bullet is the relevant one:

  • In the first battle against Risky Boots in the first game, Risky sends her Tinkerbats after Shantae and says "Spank this one extra hard for mommy!".
    • Risky Boots herself is FULL of this trope. This is pretty evident in some of her dialog. "Gotta haul booty!"

Also an example from the Star page (this time both bullets apply), assume that Getting Crap Past the Radar need subtly:

  • The word "turd" gets repeatedly used as an insult throughout the episode.
    • "He's the best turd I've ever known."

I want your thoughts on this trope? Do you think that it need a fix (however lengthy it may be)?

Already got a thread here. It was decided to clean the trope up.
