@Rebelofnj,
When my mother talked to me at length about the cartoons and comics I wanted to develop and produce, I told her that I watched a lot of violent cartoons in my youth and that never prompted to go do anything violent.
To paraphrase, she said, "No, but that violent influence showed up in your work." Violent content in my cartoons and comics is one of the things she had a problem with, and was concerned about to an extent.
I was not trying to develop cartoons and comics to win her approval, I was making them for kids and doing it to make a lot of money.
My mother, my current pastor and my American Christian penpal were not the only ones who called me out about my work. I remember back in art school a few of my fellow animation students and even some of my animation instructors tried to do this. They criticized my work for being too violent.
