Wait a minute, I thought kids were supposed to be smarter than media producers gave them credit for. That's what the fandom always says when it comes to a show doing something they don't like. Now you do the reverse (kids don't care!) when you don't like what is being said. Make up your mind, please.

Lighthearted =/= Comedy.

Ishinomori accepted and embraced what Kamen Rider became - and even created Goranger. Did he like edgier shit like you? Yes. He loved Shin, and he wrote Black's Manga.

Has Kamen Rider ever been that dark, outside of Shin and Amazons - both outliers marketed to adults? No.

Amazon was pulled for being too gory...but it was about a guy even friendlier than Gentaro. It was still a fairly lighthearted show.

Eh, Steven Universe at least has done wonders for LGBTI+ awareness, even though most are really bland. Teen Titans Go! is especially baffling compared to the original Teen Titans (even if that, itself, was heavily watered down compared to the comics).
