You'd think that cartoons at least were safe for children; but they're not. Scooby Doo promotes witchcraft, summoning up demons and casting evil spells. Girls are clothed in miniskirts in most cartoons, such as The Jetsons. Although seemingly innocent, these shows send messages to children's brains that these sinful practices are ok, acceptable and harmless.

David's list of sinful practices:
- Witchcraft
- Demon Summoning
- Evil Spells
- Miniskirts
I see nothing out of place here.
Of course, your life is totally blameless and a shining example of Christian virtue...
... Of course not, and that's why most sane people son't take you seriously.
Jesus, David, stay with the times! Scooby Doo? The Jetsons? They were a couple of decades ago. How about the Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad? That's your real Satanic content nowadays.
You do know that the central premise if Scooby Doo was that there is no such thing as the supernatural, right? How can it teach kids that witchcraft is good, if the witch always turns out to be someone using, mundane tricks to scare people for their own profit?
But as long as you BELIIIIEEEEVE, all of your sins will not count! So it matters not what you wear!
Right?

With respect to Dora the Explorer , I can predict a longwinded and borderline racist rant against illegal immigration, Catholicism, talking animals, magic, and of course the clothing.

If you'd actually done any homework, you'd know that it usually turned out to be fake in the end.
> Scooby Doo promotes witchcraft, summoning up demons and casting evil spells.
You've never watched an entire episode, have you. Or even paid attention to who the protagonists are ("the meddling kids").
I admit that promoting skepticism is probably not something you'd approve of, either. But I get the impression you don't know enough about the series to make that kind of judgment call.
Scooby Doo promotes witchcraft, summoning up demons and casting evil spells.
So? It always turned out to be trickery in the end. Hence the, "I'd have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids! ".
Girls are clothed in miniskirts in most cartoons
Yes, and people used to point out Fred's ascot as proof of his 'gayness'. I still wonder what the fucking point in getting so worked up over this is. It's a cartoon , Moronicus.
Also, you are posting outrage that has already been posted by smarter fundies, thirty years ago. Going after He-Man next? Voltron, maybe?
Stu, the spooks in Scooby Doo tended to be fake and/or the bad guys.
Also, is it so hard to complain about something CURRENT for once, Stewey?
Scooby Doo promotes witchcraft, summoning up demons and casting evil spells.
And every time it's shown to be a trick... and the one doing it gets their comeuppance...
these shows send messages to children's brains that these sinful practices are ok, acceptable and harmless.
You never watched it, did you?
Children are generally better at telling fact from fiction than the average fundie is.
The ones using witchcraft, summoning demons and casting evil spells in Scooby Doo are, ya know, EVIL, and are caught and demasked at the end of the story. So, the message sent to children's brains is that it's bad, stupid and harmful to be evil.
Unfortunately Scooby Doo has been changed in recent years. Cartoon Network abandoned trying to encourage healthy skepticism, and deductive reasoning skills, and started making the gangs' cases actually involve supernatural crap.
And again, what year are you living in?
Scooby Doo typically involves the kids unmasking some human being who is creating a fraud that appears to be supernatural.
@keppie
Maybe that's what he really dislikes about Scooby Doo, cause we all know witches and demons is real and I'm pretty sure Dave's into gawking at miniskirted cartoon and real girls as much as he can.
He's been mainly bitchin' about 20-40 year old shows for the last year or so, even fare that's only of the 60s. I'm thinking that's because he got called on his obsessive and highly hypocritical recent Disney programming viewing and Tsk Tsking.
"Girls are clothed in miniskirts"
Yeah. And we don't know what they were getting up to in the back of that van they drove around in. Two teen boys, two teen girls, and a large dog. Just have to leave that to Dave's fevered imagination.
Funny, I thought Scooby-Doo was about thinking, not accepting superstitions and ghosts, and solving mysteries.
The (pre-80's) Jetsons, despite being supposedly in the far future, is basically set in 1960's America except with robots, push-button "conveniences" and flying cars - they still had regular phones and CRT TV's though. The Flintstones were the same thing - a kind of 60's America "Stonepunk" with dinosaurs instead of dogs. In the 60's young women wore miniskirts, and even middle aged women wore skirts well above the knee. That was the fashion. The next generation, far from being harmed, simply abandoned the idea and went back to longer skirts. Women got tired of having to worry about trying to bend over or sit down in a skirt 3 inches below their buttocks. Then the next generation forgot and started going back. That's the way it is with fads. So yes, they are ok, acceptable and harmless.
Actually, scooby doo says that all 'monsters' are guys in halloween costumes, or, in one case, a robot, being controlled by a guy.
I often wonder if David J. Stewart is aware of the existence of this site, and, if he is, has he ever commented on it.
Davey, might I suggest that there is nothing (relatively speaking) wrong with the rest of the world? Perhaps the problem lies with you, not the other way around.
Also, I don't know in which universe you're living in but Scooby Doo has done anthing BUT "promoting witchcraft, summoning up demons and casting evil spells"
Scooby Doo, where all the witchcraft, demons, ghosts, monsters and spells are fake? At least in the early series.
And the Jetsons... Well they did have aliens and a talking dog. I guess those things are anti-god somehow? And they had to live in houses up in the sky because the world became too polluted-- obvious liberal environmental propaganda!
Seriously is this guy aware of anything that was produced after 1990? I'm guessing any day now he'll tackle how Murphy Brown was a bad influence because the show glorified single mothers and shat upon American family values. Then maybe he can go after Spongebob and the Teletubbies being gay.

Scooby Doo promotes witchcraft
I've never seen Scooby Doo, but as a kid I watched Bewitched , which Brother David has strangely omitted.
Bewitched must have destroyed my life somehow. All that evil, all those demons. Especially Uncle Arthur: pure evil.
The show explicitly mentions ghosts, spells, and demons aren't real. Every single episode. Not to mention, the witch/ghost/demon is always the bad guy. Always.
Scooby Doo promotes witchcraft, summoning up demons and casting evil spells.
..and I'd have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky kids!
Aaannd, next up, DJS will rant on about The Mamas and the Papas, Sonny and Cher, and John Lennon.

You do know that literally every supernatural occurrence on the show gets unveiled as a hoax, right?
"Scooby Doo promotes witchcraft, summoning up demons and casting evil spells. Girls are clothed in miniskirts in most cartoons, such as The Jetsons."
Now I know that there was that recent Scooby Doo spin-off/remake thing 'Mystery Inc.' because my friend was quite into it, but when was the last time The Jetsons were socially relevant?
It seems as if David J. Stewart has had a childhood deprived of good literature, science, art and sound parenting. Unfortunately, it has left him unfortified against the allure of crazy delusions and has left him imagining that he is a special person whose speciality is arse licking a nonexistent being. It has also left him cowering and afraid of cartoons, powerless to resist his attraction to underage girls and has led him to give in to his psychotic urges too easily.
There is something sinister about Scooby-doo...

Sinister, I tell you!
Seriously, Dave, even Scooby is pointing and laughing at you...

See? If you want to complain about the show, you should bitch about Shaggy being a huge pothead or something like that, or hate on Scrappy...
Or of course oh I dunno maybe kids just watch them because their bored and it's something to do and it entertains them? Maybe? Yeesh.
I doubt kids/children even really pick up on that crap enough to even really think about it all let alone rush off to go practice it or act like the toons in the show.
The TV with cartoons is simply and sadly just "the babysitter" and something to do. It has nothing to do with brainwashing. Take the tin foil hat off and walk away please.

Too late !
If you'd watched that Scooby Doo cartoon in its entirety, you'd see that the phantom, ghost, witch, or whatever it is that's scaring people away is always the caretaker of the amusement park/house/museum/whatever. Because they always get unmasked in the end.
I'm surprised he didn't mention Fred being gay because of wearing that scarf, Velma obviously being a lesbian, and Shaggy being a stoner because he talks funny, is always paranoid, and always has the munchies.

...oh, boy: wait till Davey-boy gets to hear about Anime . [/"Mai-HiME/My-Otome", "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha/A's/StrikerS"]
And one of your kind - via "Superbook" - is responsible for it's popularity in the US, thus the explosion of series made in Japan.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
