People always say that it's just because the shows aren't made for you anymore and that's actually the problem but not the way you think.
The shows are quite literally dumber. Cartoons used to have content for parents as well as the kids. Like sneaking in adult jokes that would fly right over a kids head. Now cartoons are just about capturing attention through flashy colors and constantly changing scenes.
Put on a cartoon made decades ago and the whole family can enjoy it. Put on a modern cartoon and anyone over 12 can't stand it
I'd argue it's also a deliberate attempt to destroy attention span like most things targeted towards kids nowadays.
You can't notice the problems in the world and fix them if you're constantly searching for that next dopamine hit.
There's a global conspiracy among cartoonists. They want to destroy the world one kid at a time. Lmao get real.
Yeah it's not the cartoonist. It's the media corporation they operate through.
It's not a secret that media outlets heavily influence what is aired on their channels. Hell they determine what they air in the first place. That and the FCC is a govt agency that determines what is or is not appropriate for public television. And with half our govt trying to strip education it's not that far of a stretch.
The actual cartoonist is usually on the lower end of the power dynamic. You make what they tell you to make or you don't work for them.
