Censorship Part One
I feel like this is going to have to be a series of posts rather than one whole gigantic post. Also, I'm going to talk about a few different things that have fell victim to censorship.
Remember when cartoons used to actually be fun? Remember when there were plenty of perverted jokes in them that made it enjoyable to watch if you were an older audience member? Remember when it wasn't a big deal to show violence? Remember when we actually saw good cartoons?
Yeah, sure, say cartoons are meant for kids. Then why is American Dad!, South Park, and Family Guy so popular? Well, because... cartoons can be enjoyable when there's not an overprotective audience nitpicking like a bunch of Tumblr SJWs at a random famous celebrity.
Now, before some fool comes on here and comments, "ooooh i don't want my baby to seeeeeee drawings of dicks.....", I am going to say that no, I don't believe that cartoons should have naked people flying around in them. Don't twist my fucking words. Don't take it to the fucking extreme. And if you've actually researched cartoons or other works from around World War 2, I'd argue that seeing naked cartoon people actually isn't the worst thing someone could be exposed to. I just believe that, at the end of the day, artists should get to do whatever the hell they want with their work.
It's not right to sit around when you're not even a fucking artist and say that we need to cover up the things that make our works unique. It's not right to run animation in the ground because your ~feels~.
And yes, the people on Tumblr sitting around complaining about how South Park is horrible and make stupid change.org petitions to get it canceled because of their ~feels~ is exactly the same as some pissy soccer mom sitting around on One Million Moms's Facebook page saying they need to get some show with a lesbian couple on it canceled.
See, I live in a world where I think that artists should have freedom to do whatever the hell they want. If you're going to censor it, it's going to lead to bad art.
I would make a reference, but I can't
