Hi,
as the world is getting more insane with politics, being it politic manipulation, or political correctness, beside books, there are a lot of cartoons that are getting banned.
I'm fully against banning or cancelling something, especially of political ideology. Even the books of Marx or the stupidity of the book of Mao, I would let it free and let the people read it and analyse what really happened after the implementation.
I was lucky to be born in a time, where jokes have been OK to be insulting and no one bothered and felt offended. Jokes are jokes and that is it.
Now, they start banning cartoons, like Tom and Jerry, which is insanity at its best. I remember years ago, that there was an event in Kassel, where there was a big Pantheon build, made of banned books from all over the world. Most have been banned in communism and fascism, which is normal, as in ideology, they are quite close, even if both tell you otherwise.
So here is a list of some banned cartoons, that I can remember out of the had right now:
- Winnie the Pooh in China, as he resembles their leader
- Tom and Jerry (can you imagine) of being offensive
- Looney Tunes - same as above
- Donald Duck for nudity :))))
- Shrek 2 - offensive
- Peppa Pig - gangster cartoon
- Sponge Bob
- Beavis and Butt-Head - well they can be rated somehow
- The Simpsons :)))
- South Park
- Pokémon - here an episode, due to light effects cause seizures in kids - this I can understand
You can see that some of them are only due to woke idiocracy, which is kind of sad, as people should be able to discern right and wrong by themselves. For example, my kid is allowed to watch most of them, where maybe Sponge Bob, Beavis and Butt-Head, and South Park are left out, as they are for other age. When he is going to be older, he will be allowed to check everything, as I like him to think about. Also, I will not put my capitalist ideology upon him. He needs to judge by himself. Of course, if he turns into a leftist, he will not get money, as he will not be able to use it wisely.
Back to the cartoons, if one is banned, I try to procure it and store it for later generations, so that it is not deleted from the pages of humanity. We shall not forget the past, as we will repeat the same errors.
How about you? How do you see it?
