Why can't these guys just like animate 10 minutes worth of violence and fight scenes? That's the Aryan man's way of letting off steam and frustration (also it's actually cool as fuck than whatever furtroon slop that was posted).

Did anyone ever find cartoons with this kind of "humor" funny anyways? I remember an episode of FOP where some woman made of water got absorbed into a diaper and the baby wearing the diaper shit in it, that was highly disturbing.

Because this isn’t the 80s, 90s, heck, even the 2000s. Modern society is so soft that something like Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Transformers: Prime wouldn’t be allowed because modern generations are a bunch of brainrotted pussies. I’m just upset at how sensitive people are today with this type of stuff. These 2 shows was not made a longtime ago fyi. They were from the previous decade.

Yeah, I always wondered whether or not this cartoon is trying to imply we have sickos because kids can’t handle 1940s cartoon sight gags
If you’re not damaged goods from the start, you can handle Tex Avery/Chuck Jones/Paul Dini etc. No one became a sicko because of Tom and Jerry. No one jumped off a roof because they read a Superman comic book. Etc.
Frankly I don’t think any of the transgressive-on-purpose 90s cartoons like Ren and Stimpy are a threat to a child’s development either. The thing that bothers me about 2010s era cartoons boils down to how bland and insidious they are. These are Doug-tier pablum on the surface, and they aren’t trying to be outrageous at all. They’re trying to create a false appearance of normality for the psychosexual brainfuckery within so that they can explicitly gaslight kids into not understanding what’s transgressive and what’s not. It’s a million times more pernicious because it’s sneaky. Ethan Ralph vs Nick Rekieta.

Obviously animators from the 40s to 90s or 2000s weren't trying to give kids fetishes, they just animated stuff that was silly and in no way obtainable to do irl (mostly anyways). And if a kid developed anything from watching it, that's just hormones and brain wiring getting confused and spawning fetishes for things like feet or vore, you can't really do much about what the human condition will create for a person.
But in a post DeviantArt world where these fetishes congregate and are front and center, you should start to question whether writers of today intend these jokes to be absurdist or if there is something darker going on. Even if we give them the benefit of the doubt that "oh things like farts are silly and gross/I didn't know better", it's still pretty bad showing children cheap/gross humor like that unintentionally or not.
I mean just look at the type of shite tripe they're putting on Spongebob now:

From what I'm seeing, the point @Kari Kamiya, and anyone else who posts "the comic", is trying to make is that it's apparently always been this way.

I honestly don't know when it was that these common cartoon gags started becoming fetishized, is the thing. I couldn't tell you if the Felix the Cat animators were actually horny for the little cat, or if Walt Disney himself ever got boners over all the animal abuse in those shorts, or if Chuck Jones thought Bugs Bunny was actually hot in drag, or if Don Bluth ever cranked it out every time he animated all those bouncing fat tits. Animation was limitless in what you could portray because none of it was real. You could legit have a character get eaten and the protruding silhouette would still be able to move about and manipulate the eater from the inside into hilarious self-harm and it's hysterical every time. I still find joy in an anthro character getting smacked and smashed and spanked and pummeled with a wooden mallet, doesn't mean I'm getting turned on by it.
With that said, I am concerned that whoever was the person in charge of animating this fucking monstrosity might've actually gotten off to it because holy shit.

It's so difficult, because some things are "just silly gags" but other times it's like, why is there a lizard doing a striptease in this old Looney Tunes short? That's clearly not "funny," is it sexy???
If I had to hazard a guess though, I'd say the 90s were when "innocent cartoon gags" started being more obviously fetishized. The cartoonists then had grown up with the innocent gags and were looking to subvert the squeaky clean over-censored 1980s cartoon landscape, so it was perfect conditions to create not just weirdos who got off to cartoon gags, but also people willing to shock the normies and put their fetishes in their cartoons. Plus you had the rise of the Internet and grooming/EPI culture (which I think started way back then even before the modern Elsagate and Discord environment,) and then those people get fed back into the cartoon artist pipeline. That's how you end up with that one animator laughing over putting apples in that kid's overalls to make his butt look huge as a gag and everyone online insisting it's a fetish thing, literally everything is so mixed together you just can't tell.
The black bitch talks like someone that has never owned a thing in her damn life. Property can be repaired? Does she have any idea how long that takes, how expensive that is? How many workers you fuck over when you destroy shit over people that have literally broken the law 3 different ways? Fucking leaches produce nothing of value, then go out burning and looting everything. No wonder when a group of black guys make a game it’s about looting a fucking museum.

I think the "repeated offenses" is a good way to gage how "in it" someone is in cramming fetishes in a show. Not always, it can always be way more obvious in less instances, but it leaves at least some breathing room for those that don't want to be put on blast immediately.
For instance, the incest in Rick and Morty.
1 time: okay it's shock humor, whatever.
2nd time: okay kinda weird they retreaded this "joke" again, but whatever.
3rd time: uh why is Beth having sex with herself which is essentially like having sex with your twin?
4th time: wait, they had Morty impregnate Summer's egg via giant sperm? Why???
5th time: Morty Summer and Rick have a psychic orgy with the Dragon, FUCKING STOP
Same goes for Total Drama and other Canadian slop-shows inserting farts for whatever god knows reason. Once is a coincidence, 3 times is when you should raise your eyebrow, 5 or more is when everyone on the team should be burnt alive at the stake.

It is very obvious - but I'm very surprised people who attach their names to public property are, without any back-thoughts, supporting a quiet literal act of terrorism within US territory, perpetrated by citizens and illegal immigrants, which was then fought against by the country's national guard. Shouldn't that put them on a list of some kind?

I don't want one, reading it would make me feel miserable, it'd quickly devolve into a conversation about the current state of things. The series I loved watching in the 2010s has been hijacked and turned into another franchise for fujoshis and twitter crowd to erode and corrupt.
The Project Nexus guys are selling plushies of Madness characters, which should be enough of a red flag that the target audience has changed over the past few years.

Quoting again but correct me if I'm wrong, even if cartoons back then weren't as concerned about what they showed (ie racism, the weird lizard dance), it was still made with a general audience in mind and not strictly for children right? I guess it'd be comparable to The Simpsons; anyone can watch it, not just children, it's when cartoons strictly made for kids that scenes like above start getting concerning.

They were theatrical shorts, and they were played in front of anything, essentially. Disney might've been the first to make animation more family-friendly, though the Hays-Code was forcing everyone to adhere to strict standards. So a character like Betty Boop became less of a sex icon as a result, which hurt her popularity.

Kind of off-topic. Idk what is happening to ppl's minds. These last few years, destroying property and burning cars is viewed as benign--like it doesn't count as a riot--to onlookers. A few years ago people would instead gaslight others that property damage (see: rioting) wasn't actually happening despite the copious evidence. Now it seems no one tries to downplay it anymore, opting instead to say it's, "actually a good thing! And here's 10 reasons why..."
