      @@abstruseglitch It's so cute that you think kindergartners are like that every single day, and not _only_ because it's Picture Day.
      When I was in elementary school, I was the PTA's favorite slave-er, "babysitter," because my mom was on the PTA and I was the oldest kid forced to stay after school between 4th and 6th grade.
      I couldn't break up fights between the tykes, or I'd get in trouble because Zero Tolerance. I couldn't try to find a teacher to break up fights because I'd get in trouble for leaving the tykes alone. I couldn't punish them with timeouts because I wasn't allowed the authority, but got in trouble if they went _"too_ wild," which they _always _*_did._*
      And when my younger brothers went through elementary school and became the new babysitters-I mean, *slaves* for the PTA, they had just as bad of horror stories.
      And that's not even *_touching_* the living nightmare that was daycare. I had to go to afterschool daycare during 3rd grade and the kindergartner room was constantly filled with the screams of the damned.
      Maybe we just lived in a ghetto or something, but kindergartners have always been creatures before they've been humans.

    • @miles_quartz
      @miles_quartz Месяц назад

      genuine question, what do you mean by this? In what way has disney been doing this? Pretty much every single American media export is censored in some way when played overseas, it's not unique to Disney, they just want to make money so they tweak certain aspects to make it more "acceptable" for different countries. (usually censoring queer representation or certain words) Disney certainly is probably more watered down now but not because they're bowing down to China or anything lol

      @@DeRien8 recess canonically takes place in the 90’s according to Gus during the episode “first name ashely”
      Hey, it’s the 90’s
      And as most of these kids are between 8-10, they very likely got a little taste of that from the late 80’s era that the early 90’s carried, also remember their parents who lived through a lot of that mentality as well.
      I myself was born right at the start of the 90’s on the dot just about but for our house we were always behind on tech and such (which frankly I think is excellent for growing up as it makes you less addicted to tech and appreciate the old classics)
      So though I grow up during the 90-2000’s, my pop culture exposure was 8-10 years older than that most of my “nostalgia” is old timey 80’s stuff.

      @JN-so6wtdon’t know about that. My world was small as a kid. No one in school had constant access to social media, worldwide information, opinions and adult content 24/7. We only knew what was happening around the block and with other kids at school. Is that ignorance? You be the judge, but it was certainly a much happier time. We were socialized on our own, outside of the home, our parents weren’t tracking us or logging in to see if we had homework. We had to be trusted to be responsible for ourselves and our schoolwork and we were trusted to be where we said we were going. Growing up during this shows initial run was the last great time to be a kid. It was so much fun. We are now living in kind of a nihilistic, amoral, atheistic, safety/fitness obsessed (lost our souls so we obsess over our bodies) era where nothing matters, people are generally apathetic, people are reportedly more lonely than every before and kids today have it pretty bad tbh.

    It's reasons like this why I always prefer 90's & 2000's animated shows. Because back then, especially when it came to kids shows, they had actual good writers and they were able to write jokes that got over kids heads without worrying about offending someone. Now days, a lot of jokes in modern kids shows, I just groan in frustration, because of how bad they are written, while older kids shows didn't treat it's general audience like idiots. And as years go by, even older viewers can appreciate and enjoy these older shows. Just because something is old, doesn't always make it bad. Heck, I'm 29 and I still enjoy watching older kids shows even to this very day.

      ...Do you ever watch newer cartoons?
      You first wax poetic about how "back then" writers didn't worry about censorship, but then you claim claim you have watched newer cartoons and that the jokes are just bad.
      But you don't assert that the writers are being stifled by censorship? 🤔
      It sounds like you aren't even 30 yet you've decided to be a judgemental old fart already.
      You don't know anything about the landscape of animation in the late 90s and early 2000s at all if you think they had less censorship- this was the peak of Never Say Die.
      Of when Batman Beyond had to jump through hoops in production due to violence. When the E10 rating for games was introduced. The fall of the extreme gore fad, and even the tail end of grossout.
      Shows were getting way more sensitive and PC in this era, all things considered.
      I really don't think you're watching the right shows or giving new shows an honest chance if you have such an uninformed perspective on animation as a whole.
      If the jokes in new cartoons are bad and its not because they're obviously avoiding censorship, then maybe its a you problem, and you only give nostalgic cartoons a chance. You are the common denominator here.
      If you really can't find anything of quality from all the shows out there these days, then that's honestly on you.
      People consider being a fan of things like movies or animation a *hobby* for a reason- sometimes, things are enriched if you put a bit of effort into it.
      If these shows mean something to you, learn about them. How they're made, who made them.
      That's enough of a rabbit hole to lead you to new cartoons, honestly, because you start to want to support those same people, and what they're doing NOW.
      Because they rarely just make the things you liked when you grew up and then go sitting on their asses when you decide to stop caring.

      @@Bird-wz7nx A lot newer stuff, especially in the western entertainment industry aren't made by actual writers or talented creators, but instead are made by activists who got hired not because of their talents, but because of either their skin colour, pronouns, sexuality, etc. Now days, entertainment isn't about making something good, but more about how much political & woke messaging you can shove in people's throats. While I'm not saying all the new stuff from western entertainment is bad, but I do notice that the increase of bad or mediocre western entertainment is becoming more common now, then with actual well made entertainment that is actually made by real passion & hard work. While older entertainment isn't perfect either, it still had better writing and passion put into it, then with newer entertainment. Heck, western entertainment of today has gotten so bad, that more people, including kids are more gearing towards anime & manga, then they do with anything that the west is trying put out these days. Because Japanese entertainment is still about entertaining the audience, instead of whatever the hell the west is trying to pull. Heck, Godzilla Minus One despite it's very limited budget, actually sold really well & did better then any movie modern Hollywood has shown in recent years. And what's worse about modern western entertainment is that people have a hard time to criticise it, without idiots pulling the -inst or -phobe cards just because someone doesn't like something modern or new. It's frustrating and because of that, why many people, myself included are either going back to older entertainment or just watch anime instead. Unless modern western entertainment change their ways, I'm not going to support modern entertainment, unless it's actually something good, but as for now, I could care less about new modern western entertainment.

      @@farusofaura2280 If you seriously think modern humour is funnier then older humour, then you truly don't understand comedy at all. While yes, some older writers were diverse, at least back in the day, it wasn't treated like a commercial/promotional item & it didn't become their core identity or personality. Most modern writers basically self insert themselves and pretty much are preaching about their own identities, rather then making fictional characters that have their own soul & lives that live in their own fictional world. For example, one of my favourite writers is Dwayne McDuffie and he was black. But I didn't care about his skin colour or his pronouns or whatever. His writing skills is what made me admire him and because of him, we got to have great shows like Justice League Unlimited, Static Shock, Ben 10 Alien Force Seasons 1 & 2. And he even worked on a few DC animated films in the past. And I guarantee you, if he was alive today and saw what has become of animated shows now days, he would be very disappointed. I'm pretty certain he is rolling in his grave right now, knowing how bad or mediocre today's western entertainment writing has become.

    I love how the show is less then ten minutes but writing so well that it felt like 30 minutes.

    The sad part is I don’t get what’s offensive 😂😂 80s baby here’s so… I love the fk outa this show and at 43 I STILL watch it as my sleepy time show for bed at least 3x-4x a week. My son is 19 and loves it too. I miss the old days when no one got offended 😢
