I was more shocked when Cracked.com launched and I found out those MAD Magazine ripoffs I used to get on bulk from garage sales as a kid randomly turned into one of the most relevant websites of the early 2010s. I was browsing the site for like a year before I realized they were the same too lol.

Nobody let these block-headed parents find out about some of the actual animated gruesome stuff I saw as a kid.

What if… what if maybe kids seeing another kid being bullied but also that kid being a good person who is actually well liked and has friends… is a good thing?

I remember visiting Cracked almost religiously during my Middle School and early High School days. Sometimes during computer class, I would be able to read the articles on that site because of how super amusing the writers discussed a certain topic.

My favorite was their "Top "Insert Number" famous people that were secretly perverts" where they talked about the dirtier side of famous people and authors. It's where I first discovered Osamu Tezuka's (Astro Boy, Kimba, and Unico) secret naughtier drawings of anthropomorphic animals and his X-Rated Animated Films.

Yeah, but it’s a shell of its former self. The site got bought by EW Scripps in 2016, and shortly after, Jack O’Brien (who basically built the site with Jason Pargin) left. Then like a year after that Scripps fired almost every full time staffer, before selling it off to another parent company. As far as I know the small handful who survived the purge all left of their own accord eventually… I don’t think anyone at the current version of the site was there before ~2018.

This article is written about a small minority of INDIVIDUAL parent reviews, and ignores all the sensible ones, as well as the CSM review.

When I went to common sense media to check, their official rating of "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" is that it's appropriate for kids 4 and up. They give it 5 stars.

Even the consensus of the parents reviews says it's appropriate for kids 6 and over.

I've read plenty of good articles on cracked. This was not one of them.

To this day, thanks to the violence I was exposed to on television as a child, I have an ongoing problem with strapping myself to Acme-brand rockets in futile attempts to catch a roadrunner.

There are a lot of people that are refusing to view media through the lens in which it was created. The phrase “it’s wrong now, and was wrong then” appears at the start of a few Disney+ shows and while I agree with the sentiment, it’s not true. It was 100% not wrong then it was widely acceptable to use stereotypes in media.

Consider the source of the article. Cracked. Formerly a respected satire magazine, now forced online because it couldn't compete with Mad (which stopped publishing new material about 3 years ago) for years. The writer is taking umbrage at the right wing gasbags who've needlessly scandalized "Great Pumpkin" just to have something to vent about.

In other words, nothing to see here.

Morally wrong is subjective and slavery was considered morally right my many/most people of the time.

Just because you and I in 2022 believe it’s wrong doesn’t mean it was wrong to the people that lives during its time.

I did not know that buy I also have vetted the information so I don’t know if it’s true. Slavery also has little to do with Charlie Brown or stereotypes in old media which is what my original comment was about.

You're welcome lol. I was around 13/14 when it came out, my brothers were under 10. I thought it was just as gross as my mom did, and naturally they were allowed to watch it. Joys of being the oldest.

I dunno. I only watched Charlie Brown as a grown up and those friends of his bully him constantly into depression. In real life you'd tell him he needs to get better friends.

Auntie Meme began as the winner of a “contribute a joke, infographic or meme to Cracked” contest. And they kept winning over and over so the site started letting them do whole articles. And then even more articles became nothing but user submitted content… which led to staff writers getting laid off or looking for better work.

Yeah, but it's not really worth visiting. The listicles are lazy as hell now and you can't even comment on anything, and sure the comments on websites are cesspools sometimes but often the comment section on Cracked was people pointing out that the article had gotten information extremely wrong. I can't help but wonder if the decision to get rid of the comments was mostly based around that one time the author was like "butter dishes are stupid and useless" and everyone was calling him an idiot over it. Like he was ANGRY about how much he can't understand how to use a butter dish, it wasn't like joking incompetence.

It's from the 2nd Urotsukidoji OVA series which is 2 episodes long and was also released as a film called Legend of the Demon Womb.

It's more of a horror series as while there is sex and rape it's done more as a 'oh my god that's horrific' rather than erotic way like most hentai does it.

I got the first two films as a birthday present from my parents when I was 13.

They just knew it was an 18 rated anime and at the time while anime may have been violent there wasn't any porn anime released in the UK so they just thought it was another violent action one oops.

I was guessing the source would be Common Sense Media. I expected it from staff writer, not from a review left by users.

No wonder Cracked is basically dead.

Anybody who companied about The Simpsons in the early 1990s never watched the show. Was there a scene where Bart told his mom to go fuck herself? No, there was not.

At the risk of sounding super lame—this just feels like active parenting. Parents should be monitoring what their kids watch more than ever. And we probably shouldn’t have been allowed to watch half the stuff we saw as kids. Idk what’s currently happening in Charlie Brown though, just more of a general comment on kids media.

OddFeature t1_iu8z0pz wrote

This is such a pretentious and out of line article—just the epitome of trash, click-baity journalism. The author literally went to a site specifically meant for parents to discuss whether media is appropriate for their young children and bullies and chastises them for having an opinion. He takes a handful of reviews and twists it into this narrative about how parents these days are way too sensitive and demand too much or something—completely ignoring that this is their curated space to have nuanced discussions with like-minded people. They’re not review bombing IMDB or demanding the studio take the movie down or something. The reviews aren’t even particularly outrageous either.

True story: I was banned from The Wonder Years (1988) because in the pilot, Kevin "does something that is bad". Yes, in the pilot, he throws an apple into the cafeteria. Which is a very disrespectful act.

Immediately after he throws the apple as in literally the next scene, he is in a meeting the principal with his mother. Let me repeat this: our main character does something that is bad and there are immediate consequences to doing the bad thing. Which is literally a good thing to teach kids: "if you do something bad, you immediately get punished".

I don't know how my mother thought the show was promoting bad behavior. Sometimes a character does something bad but negative consequences happen at the end of the episode (there was a later Wonder Years episode where Kevin starts cheating in class and is he is placed in an advanced class and is overwhelmed at the end of the episode) but this was a case of "character does something bad and immediately faces negative consequences".
