It's innocent, but I'd say primarily in the sense of everything being very black and white, in most cases. You're either good or you're bad, without too much thought or attention given to the why of it. It's simply how it is. Even when the stories were a bit more developed and complex, that was still true of the bare bones structure. (I can't speak for MoE, but from what I understand, it holds true there, too, for the most part.)
