    A robot losing its arm is way less frightening than a fleshy humanoid losing its arm for obvious reasons.
    >inb4 but Robocop's half man. Half machine.

      He's a machine clearly so dismemberment is fine since he can just get those parts replaced. "Safe gore" if you will.

      That's how Samurai Jack got over censorship hurdles: get all the maiming and slaughtering that you want onscreen because it's all metal and oil.
      I wonder if in a thousand years robots will get so advanced they'll have free will and rights, and they'll look at these saturday morning cartoons as snuff the depraved savages of old showed to their children.

    Boomer: Cute and family friendly
    Gen X: The anti-thesis of boomers, so edgy, bleak and filled with gore or safe-gore
    Millennials: Also the anti-thesis of boomers, but politically correct and with toxic positivism

      Gen Z: Just complete death spiral into sex-addled, meta-fueled nothingness of "content" which is at once perfunctory and wholly sincere.

      This is bullshit, millennials grew up on Dexter, Batman TAS, South Park, Courage, Spawn, Simpsons, Family Guy. The "politically correct and toxic positivity" started with zoomer shit like Steven Universe

        Except that Steven Universe was made by a millennial, so cope + seethe + dilate.

          That's not how it works. OP said "Gen X cartoons" which means "cartoons made for Gen X audience", not "cartoons made by Gen X"

      Decompose scared the shit out of me as a kid.

      Maybe if I wasn't such a dumbass I could've recognized Starscream's voice and been less scared but seeing that fricker on the screen fricked my shit up.

        What makes you think an 8 year old wouldn't want to watch a cartoon about a crime-fighting cyborg?

    in Adventure Time, Finn got his arm ripped off, but then he grew it back because that arm was infected with a grass sword, so it grew back in a viny ejaculation while thinking about Princess Bubblegum after he got raped by LSP.

    1) it's a cartoon not a real person
    2) it's a fricking robot, not a human

    Go watch astro boy, he gets fricking mutilated regularly.

      Not a robot, it’s a cyborg. Human brain metal body.
