How Woke Cartoons Are Brainwashing Our Youth

[@flairwolf2367]

One thing everyone needs to know is that no kids are born racist, they are taught it. If they are little and saying racist things they are either mimicing their parents or are asking something like "why are they dark" which isnt racist they are just genueinly curious as kids are.

[@Sara88890]

Exactly, same with questions like, "Why is that man so big?" when they see an overweight man at the grocery store. As we get older we realize those questions can often hurt people's feelings, so it's not something you shout to your mom in the middle of the aisle, but they're not doing it to be mean, they are just curious. If you see mostly white people as a kid if you see someone with dark skin, you'll wonder why, and vice versa. There's a video of an Albino white guy who goes to Africa to learn about how Albino Africans are treated, he goes to an orphanage where some Albino kids live and all of the kids are wanting to touch his skin and hair and ask questions, out of pure curiosity.

[@Cardinal_claw]

I asked my mom why a lady was 'purple', but around the same time successfully picked up a black widow and was carrying it around. Kids are just learning

[@hinachan70]

For real. I want someone to name me a baby that was born with hate. They emulate what they see around us to learn. I've been telling people this for years. Racism and hatred are taught. I've been around some white kids when I was younger who haven't had much experience with my hair type (I'm creole and it's sort "in between"). Instead of bad comments they were curious, as a kid should be. Why was my hair different from theirs? Why did it feel different? Etc etc. That curiosity is what we should have all around, not coming in and dismissing others for their differences. (Just speaking from my experience here)

[@Kyonari]

I disagree racism seems to be more part of nature itself as you can find even animals being somewhat racist.

When I was a kid, I loved Wild Kratts, and I didn’t even pay attention to the fact that Koki was black. To me, she was a cool lady mechanic with the cool accent. I didn’t pay attention to the fact that Aviva was Latina. To me, she was a cool lady engineer. Applying the same logic to a friend I had in second grade: she was my friend who was black, but all I saw was a girl with the cool accent and extremely fast legs (which I was very jealous of). Additionally, in fourth grade, I think we had a black TA student. We got to see him on the track, and I was so amused by how fast he was. I told my friend he should be called “Black Blur,” and I thought that was cool (mainly because the words both started with ‘B’.) He was black, and he was a blur to my eyes when he ran. My friend told me “that’s racist.” I was so confused as to why it was racist because I thought he was a cool dude and it was a nickname like Superman but cooler. Edit: I guess too much ignorance can be harmful? But I still think not bringing attention to racial differences can be good because if you can’t purposefully be racist if you don’t acknowledge the difference of skin color (and it seems that modern “racism” is as shallow as that: skin color.) There are low-income Caucasians as well as low-income people of color. There are rich Caucasians as well as rich people of color. In my school, every race gets the same education and extra curricular opportunities, and no one acknowledges anyone’s race.

The problem with the first clip is people tend to mistake rudeness with racism. Its literally become reality that if your rude to someone who is black, all of a sudden they take it as racism when it had no racism there

[@youtubecommentator6023]

@Nan-bara I was in the grocery store with my husband and my kiddo and this black guy was being very obnoxious and was cussing out loud, not a care in the world who was listening. Some lady (she was white) asked him to quiet down. He went on a rant on how white people are so racist and how she only said that because he was black 🤦‍♀️.

[@hardbrocklife]

Agreed. I'm white, and have met very few genuinely "racist" white people. Usually the douche bag using racial slurs and treating blacks like trash treat other white people exactly the same way. I'm not saying it doesnt hit different when a terrible person uses racist words to attack someone, but these "racist" white people treat most other white people the same way. Are they really racist, or are they just garbage people that are hateful toward EVERYONE? I had one black supervisor once in the past who I thought was being racist towards me because I was white, until I saw how he treat other black employees. He literally treated black employees like they were slaves on a plantation. I can't say hes racist if hes treating black employees as bad or worse than he treated me. The world is wild and people dont look beyond the most superficial conclusion they can find.

No. The establishment class wants to erase any semblance of anything that evokes positivity or actually empowers people. They want to put people into a state where they're so depressed and unmotivated that they accept total control by said class over their lives, so the indoctrination to divide and destabilize must start as early as possible. I know I sound like a conspiracy wacko here, but it wouldn't surprise me if this was the real reason that Saturday morning cartoons got phased out in favor of state/corporate propaganda that calls itself news. That was a time that kids had to themselves in the same way their parents enjoyed soap operas in the morning or primetime TV at night, so I'm not convinced that streaming and cable were already going to make them obsolete anyway. By that logic, the rest of the programming on the main 3 networks should have been phased out too. It simply amounts to the idea that people can't be empowered or just entertained, so therefore these politics must be inserted into cartoons watched by a demographic that only discriminates if another adult teaches them to; they're not naturally like that for the most part.

[@GrahamChapman]

A 10-year-old was visiting her local library with her mother. While searching the shelves, she picked up the book "It's perfectly normal" by Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberly. The book is about sex education and is one of the most banned books of the past two decades. The little girl took it home. Later that day, the little girl showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, "This is me." Her father was abusing her, and it was the first time she'd spoken about it. The father was convicted and the judge said, "There were heroes in this case. One was the child, and the other was the book." In an interview, the author, Robie H. Harris, said, "I have been called a pornographer, a child abuser -- every name in the book, as the saying goes. But whenever I am called those names, I think of that ten-year-old girl. I wish we never had to talk with kids about any of these aberrant behaviours. But we have to do so because they already know about them to some extent and because kids have a right to have the accurate information that can keep them healthy and safe. They need to know how to get help and make the abusive behaviour stop." When right-wing and conservative groups petition and protest to get sex education books off the shelves of schools and public libraries, or stir up moral panics about "woke" TV shows and similar stuff, what they're actually doing is stopping the most vulnerable people from accessing the language and tools that can help them. It communicates to children suffering from abuse that they are shameful and that it's not safe or polite to speak out about it, and it helps to shield and hide abusers -- and given the amount of child abuse criminals who are right-wing conservatives, anyone can tell that "protect children from the woke left" is mostly about the real criminals trying to shield and hide themselves from the law. Sex ed. books and "woke" entertainment does not groom children, it protects them. And those who try to withhold that protection from the children should, no matter how they try to justify it, always be regarded with suspicion and caution.

[@MasterBuilderDragon]

If you want something like this done right, I recommend the children’s book “My Shadow is Pink.” The main character (he’s never given a name) is a boy who likes unicorns, wearing dresses, etc., but the book makes it clear that’s just the kind of stuff he likes and it doesn’t define his gender. No one ever tries to push him into becoming a girl.

[@TheIrreverentUncleAl]

There's a similar book called "My Shadow is Purple" which while also having a boy as the protagonist, instead focuses on how he discovers what it's like to be gender nonconforming.

“black people cant marry white people” can be sooooo misinterpreted for a mind so young. what if the child doesn’t understand the context of what’s being discussed or didn’t finish the episode to learn about it? it’s just bizzare to blatantly say something like that on a show for 6yr olds. do kids even understand marriage at that age? they should be painting, playing with toys, dancing to music, running around outside etc. what if that child just starts repeating “black people cant marry white people” bc it’s something they heard on their ipad or tv? then now we’ve got a bigger problem

[@eriksigalraven8340]

Not cant, simply dont want. Besides Id be wary about men from africa due to how women in african countries are treated. Same goes for russian men. And "people" are wrong word. It depends on gender. Being white man married to black man is one thing, being white, or not white woman married to man recently coming from somalia or other muslim country is another thing. Is dangerous for women, any women, regardless white or black, to marry black men bc of situation with women rights in african countries. Ye some blacks do assimilate, but most dont Women really shall not marry men who hailing from countries, where women have no rights and merely kept as breeding stock, so marrying men from african, arabian country or russia(from any country where women not defended by law, where no one see anything wrong with violence against women) is very stupid for any woman regardless of ethnicity to do

I am bisexual and have lived in Utah, a very religious and conservative state, for my whole life. I have never experienced any real setback or any form of oppression because of my sexuality. I don't think its fair to say no one in this country has experienced oppression for their sexuality but I think simply being lgbt isn't a good reason to go around wearing a badge of victimhood. I think that many people today choose to see themselves as victimized without experiencing any real victimization and its very unhealthy. For a long time I thought that way and it made me miserable even though there was no actual material reason for me to feel like I was being victimized. I think its important to see the difference in real oppression and just being part of a minority, because a lot of us have it really good and claiming false victimhood will only blind you to the reality of how good your life truly is.

I was born and raised in Utah and I agree. I come from a religious and conservative family and decided to stay religious and conservative myself. However, I've ALWAYS had family and friends from varying sexualities to varying religions and races.

But otherwise we'd make each other laugh so hard that we'd either stop breathing or start crying.

I was severely bullied in elementary to the point I had to move schools after 5th grade. There were multiple girls but there were 3 main ones. 2 were black and one was white. It was brutal. And then when my son was 3 days old he had to be airlifted to a children's hospital in Birmingham. While he was in there my mom and I went to the nearby McDonald's to eat. The workers treated us so bad it was to the point I was ready to fight but didn't because of my son. It was 100% because of our race and they made that very clear. So I've experienced racism as a white woman but I do not hold it against all black people because of the way I was treated by a few. There's been other instances but those are the times that affected me the most. Anyone that says black people can't be racist are just ignorant. Anyone can be racist and we should stop pretending otherwise. We need to stop hating each other and start focusing on the real issues that are happening to ALL of us!

A good analysis of the situation. I was a child in the 1980s and a teen in the 1990s, so I saw animation explode in popularity after years of being relegated to Saturday morning cartoons, Disney reissues (that at one point were more popular than new releases), and independently produced features that got little to no theatrical exposure outside of major cities. Now we are seeing the "Toon Boom" go bust. Based on this, it's not very hard to see why. The entertainment industry can't coast on this or on rehashes of aging IPs forever.

When I was younger I use to love She-ra, it was all about her being bad ass hero. I was so excited when they did a remake of it for my daughter's generation. My daughter has already seen the old school one before the remake was released, so she was excited also. It was great until at the push towards showing sexuality in the cartoon. I was so upset and disappointed. My daughter was 7 or 8 at the time. I understand inclusion is important, but there is a time and place and in kid cartoons is not the place. This goes for any form of sexuality being pushed on kids , Heterosexual, LGBTQ, it doesn't matter. Hell, even dance moms/pageant shows are grooming was out there grooming our kids to wear skimpy outfits with full face make up .

Well, and there's a way to show inclusion for people without having to be so obvious and stupid about it. My best friend's wedding? We all LOVED her gay friend. They used body language, awesome script writing, and playful banter to make the character a big part of the movie without having to shove inclusion for his sexuality down our throats. That is good writing. Not the crappy side characters that literally serve no purpose or point to the story but distract from it instead. Sometimes it feels like those characters are a youtube ad that was slapped in the middle of the movie. They're literally only there to sell people on sexuality.

Bring back sweet shows like Little bear where it focused on problems that children are actually concerned with, like a parent being away for work, or a friend moving away, or having a stomachache from eating too many sweets, or a friend being unfair during a game so the show teaches children how to communicate with each other.
