You know, you can show kids virtually any cartoons made for them up until the 90s. Hell, I remember watching Tom and Jerry reels from the 40s. I don't know how many times I saw that original concert episode, and I'm older now than my grandpa was when that was made.
This shit though? This will have to go away. If we ever get out of this mess, there's going to be years of radioactive cultural waste that we're gonna have to deal with. It won't just be enough for it to fall out of favor, that this is culturally toxic will have to be common knowledge, and I don't have any idea what that would look like in practice.
When we go back to a sane culture, we'll have to, I don't know, pile all of this crap into a big pile and set it on fire? Any historical context for that?

We'll need to put those that produced it and promoted it on the pile as well
