#9 why is it good?

The 90's generation is said to be the "best" generation. Creativity was appreciated. Kids played outside. Truly is was one of the best.

As I said in my previous post, that most of the 90's cartoons have profanity and it could affect a child's well-being. But notice how that the 90's generation children turn out to be fine. It is possible, since open mindedness was supported back then. Thus, making children more intelligent. 

So I did research and found this interview "Why do violent cartoons make children feel safe?" on http://nospank.net. It was written by Jane Stillwater. During the interview, the child was asked, why did he like cartoons. And he said that it made him feel safe. So, cartoons can make children feel safe because of their heroic actions. And give children support that their parents didn't.

Also, I have noticed that children in the 'current' generation. Have been less progressive than the children in the 90's generation. And cartoons are a great factor, since a child spends most of their time watching it.
Comparing the 2 generations the 90's generation turned out to be fine even though by watching cartoons filled with subliminal messages. And to the current generation, who watches cartoons that are complete nonsense and filled with stupidity, turn out the same way. Since subliminal messages are a proper source of learning that parents do not teach.

Because of the hidden profanity, children will learn that it is bad and wont copy them as they grow up.Thus making the 90's generation more proper. As to no profanity at all, makes a child curios and we all know that curiosity kills the cat.




#8 dark side

Most 'good' cartoons were made in the 90's. Also the cartoons with the most subliminal messages were made in that time.

- hey arnold
- Rugrats
- Cow and chicken
- Ren and stimpy
- Recess
- Courage the cowardly dog

Are just some of the cartoons that are made and aired during the 90's. Some messages are obvious and some are not.

For example, in Rugrats. It is said that this particular cartoon has a lot of sexual preferences. Like these:

 The show is often seen as prurient or “sex driven”.  The last name of the main characters is “Pickles” which is a euphemism for the male genitalia.  Lou Pickles usually calls his grandson, Tommy Pickles by the name “sprout”. 

By: Shawnte Rey at bgsu.edu. Though it may not be obvious. Until a person comes to a certain age. But this show also supports pedophilia. Which could corrupt a childs' way of thinking and could a affect a childs' well-being.

 And not just that. Also in Rocko's modern life. The subliminal messages are more obvious than the other cartoons. The main character, Rocko , favorite hobby is, jacking. And at one point his job was a phone sex operator.

Scott Dean says in 23 ways Rocko's modern life made you sick in the head at tagroom.com

"The show about a Wallaby immigrating form Australia to the US follows his exploits as he navigates his adopted home. Naturally masturbation is a common theme."  

No signs point if it was intentional. But I believe that in Rocko's modern life was actually intentional. Shown or not, most episodes show profanity and it's just not a coincidence.

So in a nutshell, most of 90's cartoons show profanity and could affect a childs' way of thinking by mimicking their actions.
