    they actually are allowed for older audiences
    regular show was slightly high rated than other shows at TV-PG, so they got away with realistic looking guns
    simpsons is aimed at adults and has both guns and gunshot wounds

    its just actual kids shows that dont really show guns

      Kinda like how the Sam and Max cartoon forbid the guys from having their favorite sidearms, a revolver and luger, but they were allowed to use bigger and generally scarier weapons like grenades, rockets and flamethrowers
      Suppose no one really has access to that normally so you’re not going to have a censor think that a kid's going to find and smack a warhead outside versus finding dads loaded 5 foot 9 inch revolver

    Because guns in American real life are proliferous enough that children are able to find them and play with them in intimation of cartoons, leading to injury and death.

      "Guns are bad but it's okay if it shoots lasers" has been the american belief for years and it's just as dumb as outright censoring guns.

    G1 cartoon Megatron has a weird existence. Like I get why they wanted him to turn into a gun since at the time, toy guns were all the rage. But he was the only one who transformed into an actual IRL gun and it wasn't even for blending in properly.

      The first wave of Decepticons was a mix of a handful of military alt-mode robots from one line and largely, "roleplay" robots meant to look like real world objects. Megatron got to be the leader because his toy was the biggest set besides the Optimus Prime/Convoy set they imported at the time.

          Bible's more violent than most people think. Joshua and Caleb leading the purge of Jericho, the book of Judges had stuff that would make Dredd blush, not to mention David killing Goliath and slaughter and ripping off Philistine soldiers' foreskins, Elijah trolling and killing off the Prophets of Ball after God wins the Godoff, and Jezebel pushed off a tower and eaten by dogs until there's nothing left but her hands, head, and pooch poop.

      except for actual kids shows like phineas and ferb, you can expect some violence to be accepted
      any action show will have violence by default, and even shows that dont have guns allow hand to hand combat like gravity falls

      >pure evil
      still pretty common
      you just see more not-totally evil characters as a deliberate part of the writers to expand the roster variety

        Dudes into guns and combat and cool manly shit are, plainly speaking, not interested in drawing. They use things like videogame machinimas as creative outputs, which is and has always been a huge underground scene that Cinemaphile has a blind spot on, because it's Cinemaphile on the surface despite being actual high effort animation that can and regularly does kick the ass of toony brightly colored art from furries and pudgy mixed race art majors.

        Hell fucking RWBY was absolute shit and yet it was massive despite having a relatively small presence here. Cinemaphile is an extremely out of touch place for animation.

        Why do guns always look wrong in japshit, as if they took a couple of photographs of it, traced the photograph and then pretended it's in the same drawing style as the rest of the cartoon?
        Even the animation here is shite. You can't catch any of the frames so you can't see what the character is doing, and so much is cropped off you cannot tell there's a perspective shift without a keen eye and watching it over-and-over-again.

        >not one of them is some gun-fag who wants to animate some tacticool shit
        No one in the history of animation wants to.

        because we have become increasingly estranged from our own culture. we must return to our traditions, and have frequent gunfights in all of our entertainment.

        I find it funny that the revolver there is just a flare gun.

    Because Americans have a lot of gun violence, and it's easier to blame it on cartoons than to deal with any actual problems in real life. Note how guns in kids' show have been banned for decades, and they still kill each other at an astonishing rate.

          It's both. America's motto might as well be "Bitch, don't tell me what to do!" You Americans want to do whatever the hell you feel like doing and push the consequences onto someone else so you don't have to deal with them. You are a nation of children crying about having to eat your veggies and brush your teeth before bed.

            We are at the mercy of our government as much as Euro homosexuals are. Particularly homosexuals in NY or CA get to dictate federal law to people who live in sane areas of the country or mass import darkies or homeless there to uproot communities making sure everyone is divided. Part of the reason the U.S is so retarded is because of shit the government and big city homosexuals shove down everyone's throat that there is no legal way to make them stop doing, and as a reaction to the retarded shit they push some retards who might have been harmless end up getting radicalized in another retarded direction.

    They come and go with public opinion on guns. When people aren't thinking that hard about mass shootings and having angry twitter debates further entrenching themselves into being passionately anti-gun they tend to drift back in but then some chud shoots up a pre-school and they vanish entirely for a few years.

    Blaming religious people for all of the censorship and sanitization in the world is honestly nothing short of a pack of lies. The real people that always advocate censorship are really just a subset of society that are always trying to invent problems (ie, the twitter/tumblr types of people), and they can come from any background. In reality, most religious people passively don't care too much about anything, and the ones who do complain are thin-slice. To illuminate this fact: religious people have more children than you. They aren't the ones who view sex as evil. That's you.
