Current Events > PC culture would NEVER allow Tom & Jerry to be made today.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Seriously, that show is violent, raunchy, crude, but most importantly, hilarious for all ages. Sure there was blackface in the show and casual stereotypical native american smoking scenes smoking among other things, but damn, was it a good show.

Millennials and pc culture ruined everything

I find it odd because I feel like there is this simultaneous thing where things where both more and less PC back them compared to now. For example, you had this on cartoons, but you couldn't even have a gay person in media or people would be upset. It's like the pendulum swung too hard in the let's stop being dicks and accept everything direction that we aren't allowed to express anything because some people think some group is not mature enough to accept it.

It's not even PC culture.

Moral guardians (aka parents) would raise a fuss over it.

Parents are the reason we don't have Saturday morning cartoons anymore. They demanded that any cartoon must have educational value to be shown.

Why? Is it so wrong to just have a cool, fun cartoon?

They just made a crossover with Willy Wonka.

Today's Looney Tunes is nothing like how they were originally made. Damn pc culture!

people say stuff like this, but it's always contradicted by shows on Adult Swim, Fox and what not.

It was actually the generation that raised millennials that started the whole "I want TV to raise my kids for me" and "I want everyone to get an A for effort" and "I don't want my child subjected to such offensive things!"
Blame the parents of the previous generation that raised people to be this way because they all treated their kids like snowflakes and now that they are one they're like "wtf when I was a kid........"

This has been a thing for a long time, it's why the old GI Joe cartoon had PSAs.

There was an episode where Tom's ancestor was beheaded

There was a cartoon that ended about 3 years ago about a guy who just freaked out over trivial stuff and carried out missions to seek revenge on people, things and countries. It was funny and had no educational value at all.

To be fair, I always found that ridiculous. Aren't kids NOT suppose to see those films, and therefore not have an interest in the toys?

I think Boomerang still show both the classic Tom & Jerry and Roadrunner.

I saw a new episode of Tom & Jerry a couple of years ago, it looked like it was made in flash. Tom got powered up by electricity and kamehameha'd an asteroid.

People always find something to "blame" or "condemn", this was just a single example.

As a parent even now I won't let my daughter watch certain cartoons because I think they are "not the best option".

So while it sucks I kind of get it. However compared to today's standards of cartoon and YT channels these old cartoons were and are pretty mild. The only people who actually get offended by these are SJW and maybe the far-left liberal (which I guess is the same thing).

Otherwise I think most rational people would really find little to no issue with these old cartoons.

Edit: Far-right religious conservatives might have an issue as well but are far more likely to mange it internally and not make a public stink about it.

I agree, and also it seems like these old cartoons were so shallow compared to what kids watch now. Tom and Jerry had almost no story to follow. I honestly think my son would get bored watching it

There actually was a toned down and non-violent Tom and Jerry show made in the 70s. They were friends in this one.

False. Dwindling viewership and the fall of cable is why we don't have Saturday morning cartoons anymore.

Plot is a much larger focus of the new generation of kids (7+) cartoons than it was in the 80's and 90's. Disney explored this at bit in the 90's with Gargoyles and is now reaching out to apply this to shows across the board like Ducktails (to great effect, IMO). They actually probably learned they could do this from shows like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men, and of course Batman:TAS.

Also, Avatar really stepped the bar up for what one could demand of a child audience's attention span, and empathy, and other Nick shows and now Netflix shows continue to operate in that space. Power Rangers, Pokemon, and Yu-gi-oh also have kept their spots on the air, other series with a sense of ongoing adventure that entice kids to tune in day after day. Were I a child raised on the post-Avatar children's TV offerings, I might find a lot of the old stuff boring too because producers are putting a lot of effort into some of these shows.

That said, some of our slapstick is timeless and will always find an audience.

Nothing would be allowed today. Every SJW is too race conscious to enjoy a show without counting the number of minorities that are placed in a TV show.

Let me guess, you just ass pulled that opinion and never actually put on a episode of Tom and Jerry for him to watch.

I did grow up with avatar and the shows that came afterward, and I loved old cartoons. I didn't even start watching Popeye, Tom & Jerry and Looney Tunes until I was already 10.

Ya'll really arguing that Tom and Jerry had a story

Tom and Jerry is like porn. Yes, there's a setup, but we don't really care if Tom gets kicked outta the house by mammy because he didn't catch the mouse.

You don't have to be 18+ to see a rated R movie, you just need someone 18+ with you to give consent. I've been to many R rated movies before I turned 18, first one I remember seeing in theaters was Pet Cemetery when I was 7.
