It could also be the age-old "we will get more audiences --and therefore more revenue --with a PG-13 than an R." Basically, the thing Deadpool and Logan blow out of the water. This way they can get the tween/teen audiences that think the "turd in the wind" line is comedy gold.
Watch as Disney then proceeds to make R rated Deadpool 3, and then has the same Deadpool make cameos in PG-13 MCU movies. You can totally believe it will happen, because Kevin Feige isn't a complete idiot like everyone at Sony.
I would be surprised if they did an R-rated film simply because of the Disney overlords. I can see Deadpool appearing in a future X-Men film where he pokes fun at the ordeal and Colossus is like "No swearing" and throughout the film Deadpool wants to, but can't. When he finally does a louder noise drowns him out or the films ends (or they do a X-Men First Class give him one and only one F-word).
It's funny and sad to think of how much stock Sony is putting into the idea that their Venom will crossover with Marvel's Spider-Man.

I did not know this (although perhaps I should have, in hindsight), touche.
Yeah but Disney has those to specfically protect its brand. I doubt they're gonna play nice with an R-rated film simply because the all-age audience of the other movies brings in massive dosh.
