Btw, stabbing is still relatively mild for TV violence. But onscreen decapitation typically needs to show viewer discretion, unless it's R-rated. When Supernatural does it, it's done very quickly and cleanly, without any blood. Or my example, Highlander. Just like in the movie, the main character has to cut off people's heads to stay immortal. Again, depends on how bloodily it was done. Also, Highlander is far from a family friendly show.

Yes, Flash does contain killing and death, but for the most part, there is nothing in there which is a strict no-no for kids under 15. How about that husk? The more fantastical, scifi deaths usually don't get redflagged. It's the realistically bloody gory ones that get in trouble.

Doctor Who has done that for decades and the only time the censors made a fuss was showing John Barrowman's naked butt. How is that a fantastical sci-fi death? It was a real looking husk that creeped me out when i watched the episode around the time i was 12-13. Well do we get people rapidly turning into husks irl? Otherwise it's just as scifi-y as lasers or disintegration. People turn into husks eventually in real life. Not as quick as in the show, but does it really matter about speed? It is still extremely gory.
