But, one theme that did pop out repeatedly was how much implied sexual content existed in shows "we" watched in the late 70's and early 80's. One example that Slott brought up was Three's Company. That show had the running gag that Jack was homosexual (which was why it was "okay" for him to live with single women) and tons of sexual innuendo.
I tend to fall pretty strongly into the "unlimited violence but no sex" in my Marvel/DC comics. Now, non-Big 2 are another matter as I love anything with pretty girls in it (although I am more a cheesecake fan than a sex scene fan). Why is that?
Here's what it comes down to for me: I have a daughter. I worry not one iota about her slicing off a friend's head with a sword or shooting up her school while imagining a scene from Punisher. But, my biggest worry as a parent is pregnancy. Pretty much all the other juvenile problems can be healed. There is rehab for drugs and even if you go through a phase of stealing cars as a juvenile, you can eventually still go to college and lead a productive life. Heck...you can even stop being a stripper.
Pregnancy is different. My hat is off to those who have thrived as teen parents, but I'm talking about this from a parent's (specifically a father's) point of view. But, no father in 2011 hopes that his daughter will have a child before she is (a) finished with her education, (b) established in her career and (c) married. That's the optimal that we're all shooting for.
