But let’s stay grounded in reality regarding current culture, say culture for the past 120 years. Are you discounting the medium of cartoons / animation as important or impactful in society? In my opinion, it’s rather sad that they have assumed so much import, but I can’t discount how impactful they are in society. Why should this medium not be allowed to continue as such, because some people get upset over it?
I used ‘adult’ purposefully in regards to what those who are being formed into adults are shown via media mediums. An impressionable youth shouldn’t be limited regarding what they see & if it makes them feel uncomfortable. It’s through this process I feel that an adult becomes mature, being able to realize their own self through being challenged, being made to feel passionate about something. Why would we want simple replicants of current culture by limiting what they learn, see, discuss, argue about, or feel passionate about? It’s not a zero sum game, it can’t be. There will always those who take umbrage against something uncomfortable, yet there will always be those who benefit from the same uncomfortability. I think it is ludicrous & revisionist to comport behavior to just acquiesce to one side of this equation. Thankfully we don’t adhere to such zero sum silliness in the real world & long may that continue, via cartoons or otherwise.
