You know what I don't understand? People who think animated children's films shouldn't be shown to kids. Films like Coraline, Rango, Monster House, Watership Down, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Courage The Cowardly Dog, The Secret Of NIMH, and the like.
I grew up with these films and cartoons, and I turned out okay, didn't I? The answer is yes!
People act like these programs will traumatize entire generations, and I hear people talk about how, "Oh, this episode of Courage The Cowardly Dog scarred me as a child" and "This must've traumatized kids everywhere!" Like, I was a kid watching YouTube lists of people talking about how scary my childhood cartoons and films were, and I was just like... "Okay? That's not scary!"
These people who think kids shouldn't see cartoon violence, guns, cigarettes, alcohol, and cussing have really done a number on society, it's why there are so many pansies running around today.
And another thing: Lots of folks think the word "Crap" is a cuss word. I've been saying that word as long as I've been alive. And I was taught that when words don't work, use your fists!
I remember being four years old, and having the attitude of, "Well, if someone bullies me, I'll haul off, and punch them in the nose" And I was no violent child. In fact, everybody that knew me loved how well-behaved, and intelligent I was.
And these same people who shun these animated films and cartoons are the same people who think it's okay to let their kids watch Taylor Swift crawl under her twerk line, or watch/listen to Cardi B, the biggest degenerate of the century so far.
Like, oh yeah, those cartoon animals smoking cigarettes, and pulling violent tricks on one another is so much worse than some pop star singing about their wet fucking pussy. Give me a break.
Sorry for the rant. I just had to get that off my chest.
