Why is the average "adult cartoon" actually LESS mature than the average kids cartoon?

Looking for truly adult shows like KOTH is like trying to find a piece of hay in a needle stack.

Mature media is better served by comics or radio plays. Adult cartoons don't bring much to the table being cartoons, other than the rare exceptions.

Appealing to the LCD. Sad but true

"Adult" cartoons are made for ultimate retards, people who get progressively dumber with each year

People misuse the word mature very widely. What is meant by "mature media" is grotesque offensive media we don't want the kids seeing. Mature as in adults-only. This in no way makes anything ACTUALLY mature. Kids smoke and get violent and drunk and all that crap when parents aren't around in an attempt to look "mature", and in doing so demonstrate how mature they AREN'T by being flagrantly irresponsible and impulsive. This edgy shit isn't mature in the true sense of the word, you are not more mature for partaking in it nor is adult media automatically mature because of the offensive material it has.

Adult media can be LEGITIMATELY mature in ways kids media can't, of course, but in practise that's not usually what happens. Most "mature" media merely has that label because they want to get away with graphic and upsetting imagery. An ACTUAL mature story or piece of media is usually either kids media or just family-friendly with no intended age. That's where you usually go to when you want to write a quality story, rather than something that rides on its shock value.

Adult media is rarely mature at all, it is usually quite infantile because believing that gore and sex and drugs is automatically going to make your story "mature" is, ironically, a very puerile and naive view to have.

I'm going to offer a refutation, or at least argue the semantics so we can bid on those. I'll agree that mature media is usually graphic violence and complex themes. I've always viewed adult media as something that would bore children and be very divisive among teenagers and young adults. I think explicitly adult media relies on mature issues in the sense of complex themes and naturally filters those outside the intended audience.

It's aiming for the middle school to college demographic, not actual adutls.

>adult shows like KOTH
I love KOTH but would say its pretty tame.... Not a criticism.
I think it fits as a "family show", where there's content and lessons for everyone.

>Why are cartoons for a mature audience not mature?
Because "for a mature audience" is referring to literal age while you're using the definition of nature related to decorum
That's called conflation and you retarded faggot kids do it every five seconds in garbage semantic arguments because you didn't pay any attention in school.

Congrats: you're as fucking retarded and oblivious as Dobson.
