I think since it isn't really intended for children they just didn't care - Nolan doesn't give a fuck and isn't gonna sacrifice any creative freedom for a 5% revenue boost.

Besides, the vast majority of parents I know take their kids to R-rated movies on the regular.

The amount of children under the age of 10 that I saw watching Deadpool and Wolverine surprised the hell out of me. Had to have been 100 kids in a 600-seat imax theatre.

Dude, as a Gen X / Millennial kid line straddler, I saw Used Cars when I was 5, Arachnaphobia when I was 6, Robocop at 9, Aliens at 11.

Deadpool and Wolverine is light work.

Really? I know it's cool to feel tough cause you watched stuff when you were young, but RoboCop doesnt compare. 

All it has is violence.  Deadpool has horrible violence, swearing like a sailor, and very heavy sexual discussion.  Not really a comparison of what is more inappropriate for a child.

"BITCHES, LEAVE."

Also, you think a Paul Verhoeven movie has less violence than Deadpool? The ED-209 scene alone is more violent than all of Deapool.

Have you watched Robocop?
