Yah. I see what you're saying. I've been frequenting Newgrounds since 2000, thought only with any serious look at what it is over the last 5 or so years. And it's true that Newgrounds used to be a traget by industry, and parents, and people who don't really understand much of anythiing about what entertainment is.
Then things changed, and being questionable only matter if the people who saw it weren't questionable, and Newgrounds users got more questionable so it no longer mattered. Soon people had new things to complain about.
But my thoughts are that most of the new things arn't really much bigger than what happened before, because in another 8 years, new problems will be the focus, blocking out these ones. It's a cycle of, "let's let society know this is bad" and then "well now this is bad, guys."
Alot of these concepts are just what people have decided to say, they're the same as what we do on Newgrounds, just from different standpoints, maybe. It's all about what we think things are, not what they actually are. It has been, and looks like it always will be.
Those are my thoughts anyway.

I agree, although it's also because at this point, they realize they can't really prevent small stuff like this from happening, the stuff is just going to surface up some other way, and it is not hard. But you are right, they do have bigger problems to deal with so why bother.
