It's probably because the MK movie was PG-13 and the cartoon was made to cash in on the movie. Despite MK being M/R rated, you did have kids that play the games. I still remember when MK was still at its prime in the mid 90s and I remember many kids would go to the arcades to play Mortal Kombat.

I also had another neighbor that wasn’t allowed to watch Disney because it was “too secular.”

I also knew someone from 3rd-5th grade that had super strict parents and people would make fun of him for still watching PBS Kids shows. I try to be his best friend, but it was so hard. He was not even allow to play Mario, Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, etc because they had ghost and magic. I don't approve of bullying whatsoever, but he was lame. It was even worse when he tried to police us during lunch break when my friends and I would talk about stuff we like.

He would be like "Final Fantasy 7 is T rated. You guys can't play that!!" and we would normally ignore him. I still told people at my school not to make fun of him, and we should ignore him instead. Thankfully, we did ignore him, and he would move on to his own thing.
