The world isn't perfect. This is showing the young minds that just because something is different, it isn't necessarily bad. It trains their tolerance level and make them more open-minded.
It's good for their psychology and development.

He you ever watched the really old cartoons, the ones your parents and grandparents watched at the movie theaters in between feature films? the characters are just as fantastical, as ugly and as different looking.
As for cruel - so because tom and jerry were cute, it's fine for them to beat the living daylights out of each other? Because Betty and veronica were cute, it was OK for girls to learn that it's ok to treat guys lke dirt like Veronica did?
Wonder twin powers of transforming into a purple something every time isn't wierd??? The Thundercats and Smurfs were perfectly acceptable? Popeye wasn't bigotted and violent? Olive Oil wasn't an ad for anorexia? Heckle and Jeckle - yeah, they were always on the up and up - NOT. Foghorn Leghorn always beating the crap out of the dog just because the dog exists isn't a form a race hatred and racially motivated crime?
Let's go back even further when cartoons were very very thinly veiled social commentary and the cruelty and sexual innuendo was blatant.
methinks people are romantically remembering the cartoons of their youth without truly remembering them.
I'm baffled - truly.

I don't like many of the current cartoon characters, I'm like you. I prefer the realistic human types like Archie and Veronica, or Richie Rich. But you know, there have always been "superhero" types, and now they are just more exaggerated, and technically advanced, and ... weird.
But there are so many good and positive children's shows as well, if you look at Disney and Nick. I had nothing like that as a child, and I enjoy watching them along with my children. Shows like Phil of the Future and Hannah Montana. Good clean fun.

lol yeah, cos mice hitting cats with frying pans was so normal and healthy in the good old Tom and Jerry days :o)
Ultimately, the main consequence will probably be a higher sensititivity to surreal concepts and creations, perhaps - though this, I admit is a stretch - to an opening of their minds to "the different" in society and in the world, and an acceptance of the potential for everyone to be a hero, no matter how they're "drawn" :o)

Is there any difference to the cartoons and kid's shows decades ago? Do you have to go far from Sesame Street (those 2 aliens who "gloopgloopgloop" really creeps the heck out of me until now), Ren and Stimpy, and Looney Tunes?

well, the consequences and whether it's good or bad depends from character to character, altho I don't see how anything that isnt based on real life humans or other species could be "good." As for the violence that kids are exposed to through toys and TV, I think it totally desensitizes children to violence.

We grew up with the cute cartoon characters beating the shitt out of each other and I grew up wanting to tie men up and beating them with my whip. So I guess the next generation will be ugly.
