So this 14 year old kid, lets call him Jackie. Now Jackie feels very umcomfortable about curse words and all these mature themes. And one day, he finds Breaking Bad on tv (keep in mind that BB is great). Now what is more likely? Does he just call up AMC, and asks them to make BB more child friendly? No. No one in their right mind would even do that. The more accurate solution is also the most easiest and its a win-win for everyone: simply change the channel.

What this is, is exactly what i stated in my example. We could be preventing the next Breaking Bad for hells sake. There are users who feel uncomfortable about these sort of topics, sure.

Why change an entire series, setting back such potential, setting back probably the next Breaking Bad. And ik what you're gonna say next, "You don't need these to make the next Breaking Bad". Sometimes, you do. If you wanna tell a realistic story, you do. Imagine Breaking Bad if it was more child friendly, that wouldn't be nearly as good. The only solution is not to read this supposed mature fan fiction. It's a win-win for everyone. ^^^^^^^^^^
