They really do. I was a kid in the 80s. I don't know, maybe my parents were cooler than most, but they had no problem with us watching TMNT. Granted it's a mild version compared to others, but it still had its share of problems and protests such as the whole "Michelangelo has nunchucks and nunchucks are violent so we need to censor that and allow a grappling hook instead" thing. There was not even any problem for us to watch the first movie. For crying out loud, it showed Leo slashing the Shredder with his sword. The PC nuts would go ape now. As I said, maybe my parents were cooler back then, or maybe kids were tougher and most parents believed we could handle it. Either way, I'm glad I was introduced to TMNT back then and am really glad that it's still around after nearly 30 years.
