Spanking was probably popular because it's easy to disguise as well-meaning so it'll pass the censorship; that girl just needs to be corrected, so she'll behave from now on! It's for her own good!
Like, they couldn't put in direct sex or erection jokes, but they put in spanking every chance they got.
