Back when the 80’s toon came out.

A lot of people think the OT was too silly, or corny (not me). Do you guys remember though, when The OT just came out how people said they were too violent, and how it taught children violence?
I am a Religious person, and my husband comes from a VERY religious family. My mother in law (Bless her heart) found out I like the ninja turtles and flipped out.
“ The ninja turtles teach children to be rebellious, the use slang, they are too violent, this preacher says this”… and so on.
Maybe stuff like this is why the toon ended up using so much slap stick?
Anyway, without bashing religion what are you guys thoughts on this? Can you remember someone saying stuff like this back in the day?

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place.
