* Naturally, ''[[The Onion]]'' has parodied Moral Guardians more than once, as well as the science of "psychology" excuses as a whole: "[https://web.archive.org/web/20090726103956/http://origin.theonion.com/content/node/30883 U.S. Children Still Traumatized One Year After Seeing Partially Exposed Breast On TV]". To think—some of them weren't even one year old... oh, the horror!
* ''[[TV Tropes]]'': Although they formally deny it, if one reads the discusson threads in which wiki pages are reported and judged for possibly violating TVT's content restrictions, one will see that work pages are not judged by their content but by the work they describe. One will almost never see a discussion like "Will this page as written cause us trouble with Google Ads? Can we change it so that it doesn't?" Rather, the commentary is almost universally along the lines of "the work this page describes is offensive to me, we should not even acknowledge it exists" and decisions are made on that basis alone. Regardless of what they claim to the contrary, except in the cases of certain famous works whose removal would bring (and have brought) negative press attention, TVT imposes a moral standard for the works that are allowed to appear on the wiki. That standard is determined by the [[Lowest Common Denominator]] of [[Squick]] and/or prudery found among the vocal minority who report (and demand removal of) pages.
