Cartoon violence?

I looked up cartoon violence, and it means violent actions involving animated characters and situations. In the 60s, parents became concerned with cartoon violence. Some researchers believe that cartoon violence makes children aggressive. Their studies have shown that children will copy anything they see on TV. Let's say that Little Suzy was mad at Little Billy and yanked out all his teeth. The person watching Suzy punch Billy might think that yanking teeth, so the next day at school they go around and yank out the teeth of anyone that annoys them. Shows that are meant for 7-year-olds have the highest levels of violence. There are several ways that parents can make sure what their child watches is safe.

There's fantasy violence in action shows, and in sci-fi cartoons enemy forces are typically said to be robots so that they may be destroyed in bulk by the heroes without concern over killing living beings.

TTG is said by IMDb to be an action comedy. There's moments where Starfire burns people with her lasers, and she tried to kill her friends twice. Starfire also punched some people in Road Trip. Robin hits people with his staff. He crane kicked everyone (even Raven and Starfire, who are girls, and it is illegal to beat up girls). He slapped Raven in Grube's Fairytales, and beat up Starfire in Starfire the Terrible. Cyborg uses his robot parts to destroy people. BB uses his animal forms to hurt people, and Raven beats up people all the time.

Maybe Control Freak will try to make it so that the Titans aren't violent anymore, so the show will get better ratings and parents won't send angry letters to the channel saying that the show caused bad influences on children
