The commonly-used "don't skip school" moral. Most episodes on that subject are like "you might miss out on something amazing!" despite the fact you most likely won't on any random school day.

[@kieravermeal9127]

[@MasterOfTheGames9]

If I recall correctly, Disney's run on Doug did an episode on skipping school, and they did it a lot better than most (Doug and Skeeter only missed a school assembly, and nobody except Mr. Bone knew they were gone). The moral was "Skipping school isn't worth the trouble you'll get in, and rebelling for the sake of being a rebel is pointless".

[@runningoncylinders3829]

They don't want you joining a street gang, so do a message where the kids begin to play hooky from school to hang out with some rebel kids who are a bit older and appear at first to be cool, but later they get into an activity the protagonists know they shouldn't be doing, so they decide school is better for their futures and respect of the people in their positive social circle (family and school friends).

My thoughts on swearing (for all no one that cares) are as such: A well-timed f-bomb can help with emphasis, showing just how important something is or how much emotion is behind the thought. But using profanity constantly as if it's going out of style just makes the swearer seem desperate to seem shocking and edgy, instead making them sound immature and annoying.

[@hannahbevan7055]

SuperMarkerComicBro Exactly. Bojack Horseman is a great example of this. They only drop the f bomb once a season, and when a character says it, you really feel it.

I think there's a moral that absolutely *HAS* to be addressed, because it's cropping up way too often and I'm not comfortable with it. "Protagonist Centered Morality" a.k.a "It's okay if the good guys do it." Any episode that says something is wrong, unless it's a main character we're supposed to root for doing it, then that makes it perfectly okay (even if it isn't).

Nintendotron64 Not quite. Hypocrisy can be used on purpose to illustrate that a character is a scumbag.

I dunno if the Spongebob episode Sailor Mouth was that cut and dry, it ends with Mr. Krabs, the adult authority figure throughout the ep, swearing and becoming a hypocrite of his own moral, and getting in trouble with his own authority figure, his mother, who also ends up swearing herself (even though it ends up being a fake out). I think it shows the hypocrisy of the “because an adult told you so” kind of rule.

[@vincent1935]

Moral idea: “don’t skip school” since they say you’ll miss a carnival or some kind of crazy fun event even though schools don’t suddenly decide to schedule a major event one day before said event, much less without informing the students. Also, the economy. A real reason to not skip school would be like: It’s illegal It’s dangerous You’ll miss important info and get a bad grade You’ll get extra homework And more!

[@Drogon7102]

I disagree with this notion. It isnt illegal to skip class first of all. You wont go to jail for it. Secondly, nothing about it is dangerous, a majority of people who skip just want to relax because they are overwhelmed by school for one reason or another. Thirdly, unless you miss multiple days consecutively, it is not difficult to catch up on missing work. Also, as a school student, you don't learn something new everyday. 90% of my school is reviewing something you learned a week ago. And the one day you pretty much learn something new is the first day of new material. You clearly haven't been to school in a while to believe the things here.

[@47ratsinahoodie]

@@Drogon7102 Wow, you either aren't a US student or you aren't a California student. School in California and in many places in the US is pretty much the exact opposite of everything you said. Skipping one class isn't a problem for most but the people who skip one class normally skip many and that can end up being a legal problem. Back in middle school, I knew a girl who skipped class wanted to go to Vons and got hit by a truck. We get some kind of work pretty much every single day, both classwork and homework. And while we don't necessarily learn something new (or helpful) everyday, we're told something everyday and even if it seems useless, there's about an 80% chance that it'll be on a test.

[@chris-tianmothman]

My school is very poor at informing students/parents of events, as they'll do it like 8 PM the night before over e-mail.

[@TheSeleneSeipher]

I think the best way to get the moral of don't swear across is with the Malcolm in the Middle episode Rollerskates, all thanks to how Bryan Cranston's character Hal gets the point across of how much these words hurt people when used against others.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

the funny thing is how they solve that epiosde: With Hal forcing Malcolm to tell him EVERY SINGLE CURSE WORD ever and both of them just being happy after if ended... even if they both say they won't be able to see each other directly into the eyes for a time. SURE now we need a episode that spoofs the moral of "why not swearing" while also addresing how it is "of actual medical value", how depending on the context even non swearing words are more hurtful than heavy swear words, how some words are curses in one country but not so much in another and how sometimes is just social conventions and "manners" with the lesson being "there is a time and place where some things should be say and you should think at what moment to talk" (I am surprised Amazing World of Gumball didn't do an episode like that. the way they could hadnle the moral sounds like one of their episodes.)

Swear words and Curse words were all religiously themed utterances (Damnation, Hell, calling upon a god's name in vain)as one ought to be able to tell by the name.

Naturally, this just shows that some people unfortunately don't have a very good grasp on this sort of thing, and as someone who does swear fairly often, I'm well aware that these words aren't inherently bad.

Personally I'm kinda in the middle on this. Yeah swearing can do good for both in real life and in fiction, but more often than not, those shows for can get away with swearing just end up doing it left and right and this just becomes annoying. In fact a great example of the correct use and a complete misuse of swearing is, ironically, the same show -- BoJack Horseman. Or rather two versions of it. The original version is the one that you probably seen, where they use one f-bomb a season to a great effect. But in Russia we don't have an official dub for the show, so there are a few unofficial ones madeby amatures. And the most popular one here completely dissed the "one f-bomb a season" rule, so now the characters just swear at random. And this just doesn't work, and ironacally, makes the dub seem less mature than the original. Sometimes a swear can make the scene funneir. Other times, like when BoJack is waiting for an answer on the phone and originally just signs, now he swears. And it's less funny. I know it's done by amatures and I can always just watch the original, but a lot of my friends don't speak English and can only watch the dub. And it's kinda sad, like they are getting an inferior version of the show. Simply because the creator had a rule and the dubbers ignored it.

I've always hated how children's cartoons handle nerds and other "weirdo" types. Nerd kids are always always depicted in cartoons either as punching bags, annoying minor characters who correct people all the time, or just there to solve the main kids' troubles with a bare minimum "thank you" in return. I know this kinda stuff would probably be too complex or depressing for a kid's cartoon (could work for one like Hey Arnold or Arthur tho), but i for one would like to see a cartoon explore these kind of character's background in depth, and address what makes them loners and "weirdos" in first place as well as the pros and cons of such traits. For example, maybe a kid who is pretty ahead of its age both intellectually and in maturity, but as a result can't really connect much with other kids' interests.

After learning the history of the English language and learning quite a few things in Old English (i.e. Beowulf, The Cannons Of Edgar, etc.) I now know that every swear word originally wasn’t bad at all, it was just like any other word but because of how people have used them over the years (hundereds to be exact), they became bad words. They EVOLVED into the words that we know today as “bad words”. Here are a few examples: The “B” word: Originated from the Old English word “Sēo Bíce”. Which, back then (and even still today) was what everyone called a female dog (the male version is “Sē Docga”). The “A” word: Originated from the Old English word “Pā Assan”. Which, to literary translate that, means “the ass”, which is what people used to call donkeys back then. The “N” word: Originated in Early Modern English (1400s-1600s) from the word “Niggereth” which meant inhuman and supernatural. And this word is a bad word today because in the 1600s through 1865, when slavery was happening in America, people would call the slaves this word and over time it evolved into what we know today as the N word. The point that I am trying to make is that, words on their own are just words, but because of how we use them, we MAKE them bad. We change the meaning of them or, more often, we use them out of context SO MUCH that they eventually evolve into bad words.

[@mbdg6810]

this swearing situation is a nice example to back up how a video game, movie, tv show , etc disliked by a majority arent "bad" , as standards and how humans look at things change over time. just like how context , meaning and expression changed for this situation

[@DistractedGlobeGuy]

The most obvious tell is that we refer to these words as "profanities" (writings that do not come directly from a religious sacred book) or "vulgarities" (acts or words pertaining to the working classes, rather than to the ruling classes). It basically boils down to just a mix of French Saxon kings being racist against native Anglos, and Catholic child rapists complaining about how much they hate secular culture.

[@OptimusPhillip]

I thought the N-word was derived from the Latin word "niger", meaning black.

[@nathanielschwartz425]

Maybe it came from both words. Because I remember reading the word Niggereth in the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. It was right after Macbeth killed King Duncan and he was feeling guilty about it and was hallucinating and seeing King Duncan’s ghost and described his hallucinations as nigereth, or inhuman and supernatural. So it’s possible that the word originated from that Latin word and then when it was brought over to English it turned into the word Niggereth and then from there it evolved into the N-word because Americans called the slaves that from the early 1600s through 1865.

[@nathanielschwartz425]

Well, you might be right, but I think the real reason why people are so hard on video games (myself included) is because most of them, or at least most of the really popular ones, tend to glorify violence and killing, and young people play these games or watch Marvel movies (which also joke about killing people) and it teaches them that it’s okay and even funny to watch someone violently getting killed. And then when young people see this type of violence and killing in real life, they laugh at it because this type of media has taught them that violence and killing is funny. It’s really disturbing when you think about it, and the fact that there are people who are okay with and even support this kind of behavior is really sickening.

Most shows don't touch the topic at all or they ship the main two characters. I kind of want to see rejection in a realistic way where they decide it's okay to stay friends. Ps. I honestly love shows like Kim Possible that aren't afraid to show relationships. Similarly, I can (as an adult) accept Helga's crush as more or less a her thing, played up for comic relief.

I agree they could do a better job of explaining the reasoning behind certain moral commandments. At the very least, however, "because God said so" is still a better reason (from a Christian perspective) than "because (human authority figure) said so" (because God is all-knowing and all-good, therefore, unlike a human authority figure, when He gives a command, He cannot be making a mistake or doing wrong). The position that God's will *alone* makes things good or evil, and that He could command evil to be good or good to be evil, is called Divine Command Theory, and I don't subscribe to it or think that it's correct, but it's still more defensible and interesting than many people think. Personally, I go for Natural Law Theory, but explaining *that* to a child would require a lot of skill. Basically, yes, "because God said so" is an incomplete moral at best, but for a child's perspective it may be the only feasible way to explain something to them, given how complex the topic is.

So my family had the rule of “you can swear but don’t let mom catch you.” Then it was adapted to “if you’re 18, have a job or are out of the house, aka an adult, you can swear whenever you want.” I always imagined it is because swearing was seen more as “disrespectful” and therefore wrong to say around your seniors.

One trope that makes me absolutely livid is "Karma Houdini", or "a character does something bad and is not punished for it". What often ends up happening in conjunction with this is that another innocent character is wrongfully blamed as either doing the bad thing or being the reason for another character doing a bad thing. One example that boils my blood was the running gag in Suite Life of Zack and Cody where the Nun would always fawn over stupid, ditsy, self-centered London and always act as if hard-working, relatively well-behaved Maddie was somehow a corrupting influence on her. Every. Single. Fucking. Time. It bothered me to absolutely no end, ESPECIALLY given that the Nun likely taught Maddie for who knows how long at the Catholic school she attended and thus knew Maddie's personality and living situation. I didn't find it funny *at all* . The one exception to Karma Houdini that I accept is Mandy from Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy because part of her character is "she is untouchable" and thus she is the driving force for getting a lot of people out of shit--when Mandy does cause another person problems, that person usually deserves it, they came at her first, or it isn't that big of a deal at the end of the day.

Stephen Heffen, Well, if you're actually sorry about the action that you caused, then maybe it's ok, but if you aren't actually and want to excuse your actions, then maybe not.

I think the difference between how lesbians are potrayed vs. how gay men are potrayed could be an interesting topic.

[@theradionicrevival8068]

Someone once said lesbians are often shown more due to the fact that they can be written off as friends or family in other countries so the show can still air overseas and dodge gay bans Also lesbian are overall just more socially excepted due to people fetishizing them more over men...... Y e a h this WOULD make for a good topic actually

The Radionic Revival Not just lesbians, bisexuals too. Have you ever noticed how many female bisexual characters there are, but pretty much no males? Pretty sure that’s because it plays into the male fantasy of a bi woman being available for a hot threesome while a man who they thought had the hots for a girl actually having the hots for them is considered a nightmare. The Yaoi fandom isn’t much better though.

Lyra and BonBon from MLP, for example? Also Juleka and Rose, plus Marc and Nathaniel from Miraculous Ladybug?

The Radionic Revival There’s a difference between being accepted and being fetishised. The fetishisation of lesbians treats these as sexual objects, and leads to some people feeling comfortable at leering at lesbian couples, or asking inappropriate questions about their sex lives. Even worse this fetishisation has led to violence. The incident in London a few months popped into my head immediately. Those two women were beaten bloody after they refused to kiss for a group of teen boys that had been harassing them. Lesbian couples may or may not be more accepted in the western world, but it is certainly not due to fetishisation

Let's all agree that swearing is normal, but there's a time and a place for it.
