Hm, to use an example from both categories: children being spanked and it being bare-bottomed, there is a scene like that in the Japanese series "Record of Boy Hanada". The original 1993 comic won the Kodansha manga award in 1995, and the 2002 anime adaptation won the grand prize for TV anime in the 2003 Tokyo International Anime Festival. The Backstreet Boys allowed two of their songs to be used as the opening/closing theme of this animated adaptation.

Here is an animated gif showing the instance in question from one episode: http://i.imgur.com/v3FVL.gif

I think probably the first episode since Ichiro still has his bandage on after the truck accident.

Is this considered fetishistic or sexual? It's not the way I took it while viewing it, nor do I imagine it to be the intent of the animators to make it that way. The series is overall a comedy and full of scenes of the main character (the bald boy Ichiro) getting into antics.

In cases like this, should we just describe what occurs in words, but avoid the fair use of a screenshot to depict the event itself? I worry it might be a slippery slope to censor material because of there being odd groups out there who get aroused by strange things. For example, this is a DVD cover from MM! which is an anime series about a masochist as a protagonist. On that basis, I worry people might move to censor all violence or slapstick in fiction merely due to some minority finding it erotic whereas to others it's merely comedy or background.
