"If you squint your eyes long and hard enough, any fictional character on any animated cartoon begins to develop its own offensive, socially improper qualities. Even the dynamics inherent to seemingly innocent cartoon settings and situations can appear sinister when scrutinized by qualified armchair cynics.
Belgian cartoonist Pierre "Peyo" Culliford's Smurfs, for instance, copyright 1958. Two hundred tiny blue males harmonizing amongst themselves in a woodsy, European hamlet polka-dotted with mushroomy phallus cupcakes. The setup alone might be sufficient enough cause for concern - but the fact that there's only one female to pass around? That can't be right. Never mind the fact that Peyo also wrote and drew a short-lived comic called "Poussy".
As the result of objections by parents, overly sensitive sponsors, timid corporate policy, and "changing" cultural niceties, a substantial portion of these classic cartoons has been lost forever, and some may never again see the light of day.
Animated features with even the slightest reference to alcohol (including rum cake), adultery, breasts, chewing tobacco, cross-dressing, gambling, marijuana, pornography, profanity, "rim jobs" (i.e. dogs licking each other), vaguely sexual or flirtatious situations, recreational sex toys (i.e. Tom from Tom and Jerry sticks a vacuum cleaner up Mammy Two-Shoes' skirt, producing giggles), smoking of any kind, suicides (i.e. a flusterated Daffy Duck blows his beak around in circles with a shotgun) - and even baby ducklings emerging from their shells in demure strip tease were deemed unacceptable. What's left to laugh at? Dora the Explorer? Rotten Dot Com is confident it speaks for all of us when we say screw that edumacational bullshit."
Perlease. Cartoons causing offence? What is happening in society? I understand about the Smurf thing, hell, I even have my doubts about Noddy and his gay times in the woods with Big-Ears, but are we really losing our classics due to those few prudish parents who won't let their innocent children view what almost every child should? It's a crying shame I tell you, a crying shame. Views please, and don't tell me this should be in the GDF, I like my threads to go off topic after a few pages. And if I did put it there it'd end up back here anyway, they're all a bunch of fun-haters
Continue thankyou please
