>>104813779There is a fucking difference. Old cartoons never said shit was all nice and happy. They said "people are dicks, they do dick shit to you, deal with it." So there was no shock when bad things happened. The characters laughed it off, fought back, or it never phrased them. The few times people went it gone too far was when someone showed genuine suffering, not comical, actual pain or sadness. Same reason why that Arnold ending is angering, the tom and Jerry feeling depressed so they sat on a train, eddy looking truly pathetic (hell he earned it a little), and all the other stuff. old spongebob made the characters deserve thier beating, new spongebob just beats people over the head hoping you laugh cause they think Pain=funny so just try pure agony without context. I'm probably falling for bait but I might as well rant to get it off my chest and see if I'm making sense.
