What do you think is the most socially damaging children's show ever released

[DefinitelyNotMe]

Anime is a medium, not a single show. Obviously there is some egregious faggot shit anime out there, but putting it all into one bin is also retarded. It's like saying all cartoons are trash because of Steven Universe.

it is viewed as single media and that what matters. They are all bundled up in one pile and if you watch one you will likely watch another.

Fritz the Cat

While not technically a children's show, it is a cartoon of a pot smoking cat released back in the 1970's. The plot consists of a cat who tries to hold parties so he can have drug fueled orgies in his bedroom. The cops raid his place before he runs away and hides in a literal synagogue. After that, Fritz runs to a black bar, tells the blacks how he is one of the good cats who gets their struggle, then runs out into the street to start a race riot. He links up with a fat crow (black woman) does a bunch of drugs and then gets bailed out by a leftist cunt who tries to take him from NYC to San Francisco. Ditching her half way, he links up with some nazi biker bunny who shoots up heroin, beats the shit out a horse woman with is weird lizard snake nazi cult and then gets Fritz blown up in a plot to take down the power grid. The movie ends with an orgy in the hospital that Fritz is in.

I watched Fritz because I enjoyed American Pop by Ralph Bakshi and had heard good things about his Lord of the Rings movie. After watching it and learning more about the creator, I have realized it is one of the most degenerate pieces of media to ever be created and deserves to be buried.

Also the movie is responsible for furries.

Yes, anime is a medium, however mediums are not exempt from overall criticism, and in some views, are especially to blame for societal impact. Putting it all in one bin is not retarded. By admitting that something may be classified as anime is to accept that it may be put in one bin.

If putting things into one bin and criticizing the medium itself is retarded, then I would ask that you recommend to me some high quality YouTube Shorts that might rival great novels. What's that? There are none? Five second clips are all generally stupid and gay? How dare you put all Five Second Clips into one bin. That's retarded!

Discounting an entire medium will always be fucking retarded, yes. Even 5 second clips can be creative and funny. Any human work has the potential for excellence. You're ignoring Sturgeon's law. Most of everything is dogshit. Maybe we should change it from 90% to 99.9%, but the point still stands. Don't forget that the only creative works that stand the test of time are the rare few gold nuggets in the collective pile of artistic detritus ever shat out by man. For those we have the benefit of hindsight. Right now we're in the middle of the short-form content dumpster. Maybe I'm , but there is bound to be some gold nuggets in there. Only time will tell.
Forcibly comparing media is also dumb. We have cars, so why should we even bother walking? Different cases for different times. A great joke only takes a few seconds, but isn't as long as a novel. Does that make a good joke worse than a novel? No, it's just 2 completely different things.

Also I must admit I fucked my wording up. Anime isn't a medium like TV, Books or Comics. Anime is a genre that is hard to define. But I'd say it's cartoons based on conventions coming from a Japanese cultural background and mainly made in Japan. The market is so big it might be considered its own genre. But naming it a medium was wrong. Its not inherently a unique way of transmitting information like books or video. Technically anime is cartoons/video and manga is comics.

I'll quit here before I get banished to Mass Debates for O/T.

Has any considered that the magic school bus might be responsible for all the vore people I mean they did show a lot of people just going inside other people for sort of a fun field trip? maybe that plus hormones is how you wind up sexualizing digestion?

Not a t.v. Show and not necessarily bad for “society” as a whole, but I want to give The Brave Little Toaster an honorable mention.

Secretly anthropomorphic appliances that don’t want to be thrown away or replaced and that experience death when they break down (the air conditioner scene),

to the murderous and terrifying clown that haunted Toaster’s dreams with forks and water,

the junkyard scene where all the discarded appliances and cars were loaded onto a conveyor belt to be crushed.

The scene where some repair shop dude gets them and then kills a blender in a way reminiscent to a horror movie about organ harvesting.

These were really heavy subjects and themes for a children’s movie, and some scenes were quite actually terrifying.

I think Tomorrow's Pioneers. Mostly because it's hard to compete with unironic Islamic terrorist propaganda for children.

Just think that a large number of the kids that grew up watching that ending up growing up thinking they could avenge Farfour the Mouse only to get killed in the latest war,

personally i consider disney a catalyzer for many furfags to come since their take on robin hood was acknowledged as "awakening" of sorts

I have no science to back this up, but I think the original Robin Hood movie from Disney started the whole furry thing.

personally i consider disney a catalyzer for many furfags to come since their take on robin hood was acknowledged as "awakening" of sorts

For some reason this movie was mentioned twice. Im confused though because

1. I didn’t think it was that popular of a movie.

2. it being released in 1973 would make it a late—genX and/or earliest-millennials movie.


There are some furfags that are in the 40s or 50s… but the vast majority are in their teens or 20s. So I have a hard time blaming a movie thats more than 2x older than them, for making them freaks.

It’d be like if people in 2050 started blaming kids wanting to be snowmen on the Elsa movie.

Retarded.

They likely will though. I'm fully convinced that people have everything backwards. Every generation has this media they deem a "mistake" that apparently "awakened" something in a whole generation, when it's the other way round: human psychosexuality is complex, children hit puberty, and it gets weird as things they see around them may or may not get processed within their new experiences.

And that's not to mention groomed or SA'd kids (which is unfortunately common, and it's not a coincidence that most of these people were SA'd or exposed to pornography), who got fucked up early on and quietly may have projected something while watching innocent children's cartoons, leaving a much stranger imprint on them as they were growing up. Sure, there is plenty of media where authors shove their fetishes into, that's a whole other topic though. Barely anything inherently "awakes" anything in people, especially all these obscure fetishes involving things that can't be described as sexual as well. All these "awakenings" happen within tween to teenage years and it's strange that people constantly miss that.

Also, walking-talking animals are a major part of world wide culture, it's impossible to avoid them if you weren't raised a complete recluse or were in a cult. How come one single movie featuring one of the most culturally default phenomena became a furry catalyzer?

Whenever a topic like this comes up, I'm always like "I hope this is a shitpost."

Because there's no such thing as a "socially damaging" children's show. That's some Jack Thompson shit right there.

Threads like this remind me of a Donald Duck comic I read as a kid:



The story in this issue is Donald gets upset his nephews are reading comics. He takes and burns the comics, but then decides he's gonna show them how bad comics are for you by... dressing up as a villain and being extreme himself. The story ends with Donald getting arrested, and the nephews commenting "poor Donald, not understanding that comics are just make-believe!"

Really I kinda wish this moral were more common... that its often the people who crusade against "bad influences" that are too deep into it, not the people they're seeking to protect.

I find that ironic as I recall a lot of the fans I met were people who hated anime and would hold ATLA up as being "proof we don't need anime."

An argument that only works if you think all anime is shonen fighting shit. How ATLA would be a replacement for something like Castle of Cagliostro or Detective Conan is anybody's guess.

Maybe, but you can shoot things for reasons other than being "socially damaging."

 

[biglurker]

I don't think there is a single piece of animation that has done social damage. Typically fictional media getting big is more of a reflection of the times, and fiction is general can't do the damage something claiming to be the truth can.
Cocomelon for example is just telling as to how lazy parents have gotten. CGI key jangling would exist in some other form (as it did with kids youtube) had it never been created.
I think OP was closest when naming Adventure Time though. Not because of the contents of the show, rather the culture it brought to the western animation industry. AT was ground zero for everything wrong with western animation for the past decade. Not only did the AT crew go on to create nearly every western animated show in the past 10+ years, but also the clique that openly black listed anyone who dared criticized them. It pioneered shitty relationship drama, writers self-inserting in untold ways, and shoehorned in politics before it even got late into its run.
There is a good chance western animation could have had an actual reissuance (ESPECIALLY DURING COVID) instead of essentially being dead had AT never been greenlit.

I think you are missing that VCR does not show up in every other home until like the mid 80s, that is the point when kids got to watch the old Robin Hood movie over and over. Many furries cite it as an inspiration themselves. Most of Gen X would have seen it once in a theatre or on TV.
