Read an interesting book, recently: "Killing Monsters: Our Children's Need For Fantasy, Heroism, and Make-Believe Violence."
The author you're mocking probably has the attitude that we can shape children into enlightened nonviolent beings by controlling their exposure to threatening works. (Where "threatening" means whatever he thinks it means.) This is not true, because children will interact with the real world at some point. Those who are prevented from dealing with the real world will have severe problems because of it.
I found the books/shows that were supposed to be realistic and reflect the experiences of people my age to be way more disturbing than anything else I read/watched.
