Okay, since I apparently wasn't clear enough the first time (seriously, I don't know how my comment wasn't clear about what I meant), allow me to explain:

Among the Toonami fanbase, there are so-called "fans" who are vehemontly against Toonami airing american cartoons for various reasons, one of them being the false claim that american cartoons are too light-hearted for Toonami (i.e. "kiddie").

Beast Machines: Transformers, despite airing on Fox Kids when it first premiered, was a very dark and complex show, to the point that if you showed it to someone completely unfamiliar with it, you'd have to actually convince them that it was aimed towards kids.

Thus, if Toonami aired Beast Machines, it would basically prove to the "fans" that are against american cartoons that american cartoons can be dark and just as fitting for Toonami (i.e. "shutting them up"). My comment wasn't aimed at anyone in particular on this site.

There, I've made my comment clear. Now, if I have clear this up any further, I'm gonna start saying things that will get me kicked off this site.
