Cartoon Violence

[Fayth]

Well... you have to realize that these cartoons were born in then 1900s. The world back then (especially America) wasn't as politically correct as it is now. I believe another contributing factor is that years and years ago, the age that a person was considered an adult was vastly lower... therefor something like cartoon violence wasn't as bad as fighting in a real war. Today, things like the draft and such aren't as widely used...

As for the desensitizing part, I really don't think so. There's a difference between watching Batman beat up the Joker, and watching a person in real life getting brutalized. I believe the main thing keeping our minds somewhat sensitive is the knowledge that it's not real... As long as people know that, it's not as bad as watching real violence and real brutality.


Oh yeah...
