| rdfs:comment | - Seduction of the Innocent is a book by German-American psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, published in 1954, that warned that comic books were a negative form of popular literature and a serious cause of Juvenile delinquency. The book was a minor bestseller that created alarm in parents and galvanized them to campaign for Censorship. At the same time, a U.S. Congressional inquiry was launched into the comic book industry. Subsequent to the publication of Seduction of the Innocent, the Comics Code Authority was voluntarily established by publishers to self-censor their titles.
- Seduction of the Innocent was a very intelligently written book by Fredric Wertham that got a lot of naughty people fired, and a lot of writers and artists put out of work. It was about how comic books and their evils were destroying America. As a result, everybody had to start toning it down. Ever wonder why the Golden Age was so fucking badass and the Silver Age was such a pussy? Yo. Parents got so worried that Batman and Robin were deliberately teaching their kids to be gay, everything got censored until the Comics Code Authority was established.

Parents got so worried that Batman and Robin were deliberately teaching their kids to be gay, everything got censored until the Comics Code Authority was established. Children got to read about superheroes, parents got to go to bed at night safe with the knowledge that their children were appropriately bored.
