Mostly in part with any use, mentioning, or related incidents to death or many of the several D words toons avoid. Death, dying, dead, die etc. Every time I watch Teen Titans, it bothers me when a character wants to die and instead she says "destroy me".

Or "you attempted you destroy us". Come on, this is pathetic. Disney's cartoons have featured people being impaled by sea ships, boiled in lava, strangled to death, and shown an actual version of Hell and the devil in the Hercules movie. If Disney can talk about death, I don't think it's too hard for others to do so.

It bothers me that cartoons are being tampered with just because people are afraid children might wake up one day and realize when you get hurt....YOU BLEED and you might also die. I'm not saying shove death all over in toons, but I don't think acting like it doesn't exist in cartoons is any better.

What we really need is another "Gargoyles" to show how a great cartoon can be done. It was dark, mature and violant but it was still family friendly and very intellagent.
I'll never forget when Goliath caught that sword in his hand and we see blood start to drip from his hand in the first episode, or when Xanatos said one of my favorite lines ever "Pay a man enough and he'll walk barefooted to hell". All this on an afterschool cartoon.
