This discussion and thinking about modern kids cartoons makes me think about how much more thoughtful and well-written cartoons are now as opposed to when I was a kid. 70's and 80's cartoons are the worst kind of trash. I was too old in the 90's to really pay attention but I think cartoons stopped being strictly for kids by the late 90's and got much more clever. Rocko's modern life and Duckman come to mind, though I don't think those were meant for kids but I'm sure they did anyways.

Duckman was definitely aimed at adults but was mostly watched by kids anyway.

tetsuo posted:It wasn't really aimed at you I just never even thought they had a "race" or cared about it the whole thing is just weird imo Fair enough. I just think that kids of color might have been more inclined to project themselves & their families onto these technically raceless characters because of the general lack of representation in kids' (and other) shows.

But they couldn't advertise the toys that the shows were about during the shows that were about the toys, leading to Barbie having a great year because Mattel bought ads during Hasbro's Jem

Hmmm...I mean, maybe? The snout still looks too long and pointy, though I guess those are more aardvark ears than anteater ears, which are much smaller.

i'm pretty sure i saw an article that someone posted here that purported to confirm that erin e-surance was canceled because internet perverts made too much porn about her, but it's hellworld 2020 and i'm struggling to remember what i actually saw and what was a fever dream inspired by A Fancy Hat's disturbingly en pointe yet hilarious Trump-posts
