I'm thoroughly convinced that the devil has found the perfect tool through which to influence our children...cartoons. Folks like me who grew up on Bugs Bunny have a tendency to think of cartoons as harmless and fun. I've educated myself on them recently though by watching pieces of cartoons about which I knew nothing. Turns out, you cannot walk away from you children when they are watching cartoons unless you have the Boomerang Network, where all of the oldies from my generation are the only ones that play. Wonder how many parents let their kids watch filth that they would ordinarily not consider letting them watch because it is in the form of a cartoon. It's brilliant on the part of the devil, though...one must give him his dues for doing his homework and planning so carefully.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Only the cartoons from the era of YOUR childhood are good. Bugs Bunny = good, Ren * Stimpy = bad. Anything dear to you = good, Any of that new-fangled stuff = bad.
Grow up, move on, and find something mopre important to get exercised over. How 'bout instead of worrying about cartoons harming children you worry about children getting enough to eat and good, timely medical care.
Am I the only one who always felt really sorry for Wile E Coyote? Just let the poor thing get some food!
Though I wonder why instead of ordering all that ACME merchandise he didn't just call for a pizza. Or chicken, if he really felt like bird.
You thought Bugs Bunny cartoons which included cross dressing, bestiality, pants less pigs, disrespect for authority, racist black face routines, and virtually non stop vioence with no consequences was harmless compared to today's cartoons?
Does this guy realize that alot of the older cartoons are full of racism, sexism, and in the case of the smurfs Communism?
Yes, thats right, I said the smurfs was a metaphor for Communism and it is.
Your being "thoroughly convinced" is what convinces me that you are looking for evil like there is a prize for it.
Just because the idea his you in a Lexapro and hash-oil hallucination doesn't mean it is real. Get some kind of proof or change your meds. You can look at the pattern in the ceiling and see things too. But whatever you see, is a reflection of you.
Transformers and reboot were good.
even at 4 I could tell that scoobydoo and the moose and squirrel one wern't. Bugs is fine.... the FIRST time around... but being shown every bloody day, well...
Funny, ain't it, how that ole debbil is so active in the world while your all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving god (who admits to having created evil) does absolutely nothing to stop him or even reveal his own existence.
Bugs Bunny in drag, kissing Elmer Fudd on the lips

Man, those old cartoons are SO much more acceptable than these new-fangled ones! I don't know what I've been thinking, letting my daughter watch those things! I mean, racial diversity! The horror!
Here's an idea, Lynnea: get your head out of your ass, stop trying to label everything 'evil,' and don't let your kids watch Adult Swim. You'll be doing a favour for your kid and yourself.
@Fanatic-Templar
Of course not. One of Chuck Jones' rules for the Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons was:
As a software engineer, I sympathize majorly with the Coyote. I have a strong suspicion that Microsoft is secretly a subsidiary of the Acme Corporation.
I wonder how much thought Lynnea has given to Scooby-Doo, which I surmise is from her generation.
Fred and Daphne were obviously getting it on in the back of the Mystery Machine.
Shaggy and Scooby were definitely potheads.
And Velma was clearly a lesbian.
Amused/Notme:
Anime IS cartoons - it's just the japanese word for it, and, in its correct usage, INCLUDES western cartoons. Obviously, in the west, it just refers o japanese cartoons, but thats our mistake ;-)
And yeah, luckily Japan never suffered the cartoon = for kids misconception, where the hero is always, violence is harmless (hey, isn't that even MORE dangeous than showing the realistic consequences of violence?) etc. Now the guys who "grew up on Bugs Bunny" just need get the hint.
Also, somebody forcefeed Lynnea Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, Elfenlied and some random eroanime XD
We seriously NEED our edit function back...
Oh, and add Shinseiki Evangelion (Satan is trying to get us to fight Angels!) and Disgaea (OMG!LAHARL!OMG!HUMANDEMONHYBRIDS!OMG!DEMON OVERFLOW!OMFG!!!) to the list, for obvious reasons.
Personal bias at its best. Just because you watched Bugs Bunny and turned out "fine" (this is highly debatable by the way), that cartoon must clearly be a Good Christian cartoon? Anyone having watched Bugs Bunny will know that the content is actually quite adult, as is the case with most "oldie" cartoons.
Take a look at today's world. Then tell me again that cartoons are one of your big concerns.
Re. Wile E. Coyote: It's fun to see Wile foiled. I enjoy the expression he gets when he realizes he's standing on air. But, yeah, he tries so hard you do have to feel sorry for him.
I have to agree with Lynnea, if the "devil" that he/she is refering to is "Madison Avenue". These new cartoons are nothing but 22 minute commercials for some incredibly over-priced tie-in toy, video, comic book, card game, video game, doll,etc.,etc., ad nauseum!!!
For the most part, cartoons are harmless and fun. It's when people start taking fictional material too seriously that problems begin. Oh, wait, they're fundies...never mind...I swear, I'll never break this vile habit of trying to be sensible.
Anti-cartoons/anime hysteria? Talk about being behind the times... In France we had that around the lates eighties/early nineties (and at least they could point to some rather huge programmation blunders, such as putting Fist of the North Star in a show for kids...)
oh, and let's not forget Pepe Le Pew, who is basically the world's most disturbing stalker
Not to mention an extremely offensive caricature of French males.
Does this guy realize that alot of the older cartoons are full of racism, sexism, and in the case of the smurfs Communism?
Yes, thats right, I said the smurfs was a metaphor for Communism and it is.
If real-world communist countries could have got it half as right as the Smurfs did...
I'd really like to dump the contents of my HD in Lynnea's brain (well, there might be capacity issues), and/or introduce her to some examples of Rule 34 :P
I always wondered about Smurfette. One female smurf with around a 100 male smurfs.
How did they reproduce? Was it some kind of big blue gangbang? Or was Papa Smurf some kind of alpha male smurf?
That kind of stuff confused the hell out of me as a kid.
I actually find South Park to be quite educational :) It even taught me a new curse word, "Mee Krob" :) It's run for about 11 series now and it's still going strong.
Mr. Smith: True. At the same time, imagine you're sheltered for most of your life, then you hear 'Shut your fucking face, uncle fucka', what would you think?
Dude, have you ever really looked at classic cartoons? They're twice as violent, twice as promiscuous, and incredibly more racist than anything on today.
I always wondered about Smurfette. One female smurf with around a 100 male smurfs. How did they reproduce?
Not only that, if I remember correctly, Smurfette was artificially created by Gargamel, making the whole Smurf reproduction issue all the more complicated. While I'm unnecessarily rambling on about details about Smurfs I don't know why I remember, don't forget that not only are Smurfs communist, they're anti-Semitic, too. Apparently, Gargamel was the typical gross caricature of a Jew, complete with nose and greed and everything. Much more wholesome than today's cartoons, right?
You do know that Bugs Bunny dressed in women's clothing and kissed Elmer Fudd on the lips, right?
(I'm not even gonna start on the racism in some of those cartoons against the Germans and Japanese during WW2, or African-Americans before the Civil Rights movement.)
Hey, Satan, while we're discussing your production of anti-Christian animated material, can I put in a request for a decent yuri show?
Bonus marks for the topical religious suicide-bomber in Simoun, btw, good job!
Yeah, those good ol' Looney Tunes. The ones that frequently displayed smoking, drinking, violence, racial ignorance. Just because it was dear to you doesn't make it any better.
"their kids watch filth" Like Pederast Barney & Drug Addled Boobah. What about that dyke Dora the Explorer? And everybody knows that queer Tinky Winky with that purple purse of his is out to convert your little innocent boy.
Either that or you accidentally tuned into the Hentai channel :-)
Can you imagine her reaction to a little good ol' tentacle porn? (rolling eyes)
I admit I don't get the humor of some of the new cartoons: Chowder, The Misadventures of Flapjack, Total Drama Island (I hate real reality shows - why would I watch an animated one?), Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Assy McGee, Squidbillies, 12 Ounce Mouse ... Heck, I don't like King of the Hill, Family Guy, or American Dad.
Guess what? I don't watch them.
Solutions can be so simple ...
Re:MarylandBear's post
What's even more brilliant is the fact that this retard doesn't get that the "old cartoons" are frequently violent and crass, and were originally meant for adults. There's not much difference, it's just that the animation is better.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
