It's not the kids I'm worried about, it's their moral crusader parents that are the problem and can't handle unedited anime.
I have no problem most of the time with agreeing in the theory of an eye for an eye since so many criminals get off more of less scot free but honestly the world don't work that way.
I'll be the first to admit that political correctness is killing America, I've personally been in a situation where there was this loud mouth jackass that just happened to be black that was repeatedly calling me a "Brain dead cracker hick" to my face When all I'd done was ask him to please be quiet, (It was the middle of a movie theater for crying out loud!) and when I told him to shove his bigoted opinions suddenly I'm the bad guy being pelted with popcorn and jujubes form all directions. Luckily the manager kicked him out and I got my money back, never going to that theater again.
Anyway many TV shows and video games show kids that would never be in a situation that is depicted so that's not the issue. Neither is morality, which so often becomes synonymous with bigotry these days when people twist it for their own selfish means. (But that's another rant altogether.)
The real issue is would most fans watch a digimon show where the digimon only fought humans? Since most of us want a new season so bad probably, but it wouldn't go well and we'd be entrenched in another round of flame wars. And I really don't have enough civility left to try to talk people into giving it a chance like with Frontier when the first thing out of every small-minded jackass' mouth was "Power Rangers sucks and so does this." before even seeing it. Damnit people they weren't wearing suits they were becoming digimon!! Sorry, that too is another issue altogether
