The Simpsons
The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening that originally started on April 19, 1987 as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show. It got its own series on December 17, 1989 and is still running as of 2023, making it the longest running animated sitcom. It is about a man named Homer... read more Oh man, did The Simpsons ever take a hit from SJWs or what? The show used to be so funny, but it has been on a downward spiral ever since it got so progressive. It's trying to be so progressive, especially with Lisa Simpson. Sure, there are meta-commentaries featuring 'the one joke.'
Family Guy is still funny and hasn't pandered to the woke left, but The Simpsons has. Politicoids just can't meme.
Let's address the elephant in the room. The Simpsons has declined for many reasons. One of the three main issues (besides the phasing out of what it was meant to parody and trying to copy other adult cartoon formulas) is that what was meant to be crass and obscene has become mainstream and has to conform to mainstream standards.
For example, Hank Azaria and Al Jean have become overly cautious. Why recast voice actors? It just balloons the budget to insist on having the exact race or ethnicity for voice actors. Hiring a black guy, a Mexican, an Asian, and so on to replace a single voice actor means more budget has to be dedicated to this, thus the animation and writing suffer.
Also, Apu is still in a problematic position. He appears in cameos but never fully or not at all.
Sesame Street
Sesame Street is a long-running American children's television series, produced by Sesame Workshop and created by Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett. Sesame Street's decline since hitting the 50-year mark can be attributed to many things: overuse of Elmo, ignoring the more minor characters, and, of course, putting politics into children's TV.
Honestly, the Black Lives Matter episode is so SJW that it feels awkward to watch. Besides, Sesame Street has had black characters since season one!
This show was already inclusive and diverse. They really didn't need to conform to the misguided SJW definitions of those words.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Literally everyone who likes this show is a Steven Universe fan. It's not just the fans this time because She-Ra looks like a boy.
As someone who grew up on the original series, it breaks my heart that this one even exists.
I liked it better when She-Ra/Adora wasn't romantically involved with Catra. That whole thing gives me bad Harry/Draco vibes.
Looney Tunes Cartoons
Looney Tunes is an American animated series of comedy short films produced by Warner Bros. from 1930 to 1969 during the golden age of American animation, alongside its sister series Merrie Melodies. Season 1 of Looney Tunes Cartoons had some pretty funny Daffy and Porky episodes, as well as those involving more minor characters. However, due to the gun ban, the Bugs vs. Elmer episodes just fell flat. Thankfully, this was fixed in Season 2.
SJWs are why we don't have Speedy Gonzales or Pepe Le Pew anymore. Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam can no longer use their guns.
Doctor Who
Doctor Who is a British science-fiction television programme produced by the BBC since 1963. The programme depicts the adventures of a Time Lord called "the Doctor", an extraterrestrial being from the planet Gallifrey. The Doctor explores the universe in a time-travelling space ship called the TARDIS... read more It's not because the Doctor is female. It's because she's a woke female. Also, I'm not a Whovian, so don't ask.
The Powerpuff Girls (2016)
The Powerpuff Girls is an American animated television series created by animator Craig McCracken for Cartoon Network. The main characters of this show are Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. The show is about the Professor Utonium creating three little superhero girls that save the day from villains... read more The 2016 reboot's removal of Ms. Bellum and the addition of a fourth Powerpuff Girl boils down to this: if you want a black character, why not expand the universe of the show to add more characters like Rugrats did?
I'm non-binary, she/her, and I think the reboot is utter garbage.
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (Japanese: 小林さんちのメイドラゴン, Hepburn: Kobayashi-san Chi no Meidoragon) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Coolkyousinnjya. The series began serialization in Futabasha's Monthly Action magazine since May 2013 and is licensed in North... read more I'm not a weeb or watch anime, but I can understand the frustration of those who do. Having dialogue rewritten to add unnecessary political references is just stupid. No wonder people stick to subs.
Steven Universe
Steven Universe is an American animated television series created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network. The show's based around a young boy by the name of Steven Universe, who is a hybrid of a gem and a human. He lives with his gem friends, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl.
Star Trek: Discovery
The original Star Trek was very progressive for its time. However, I'm not a Trekkie, but doing the entire "positive discrimination" routine to make all the white male characters look dumb is lazy.
Criminal Minds
Criminal Minds is an American police procedural crime drama television series created by Jeff Davis, and is the original show in the Criminal Minds franchise. Among the seven main characters, there were already three women and a black man. But that wasn't "good enough" for the social justice warriors. We had to meet one character's black wife and daughter.
The brunette woman (the show having already gone through three) was replaced with a black lady. When the black man left due to a rushed romance/pregnancy storyline, a Latino was brought in as a replacement. Thankfully, the show ended before any of the remaining cast had to be given a significant other of whatever minority hadn't been "represented" yet or had to be revealed as one themselves.

How else can the current host be their cousin?
The most offensive thing about the pride special was the terrible animation. It looked like Trey Parker took acid and vomited.
That Blue's Clues Pride Parade sing-along was just wrong.
Voltron: Legendary Defender
The existence of this very SJW-pandering "reboot" ruined the original. See also: She-Ra.

Santa Inc.
The general concept of a "new Santa" sounds good, but since they made it woke, it became worse rated than Caillou. Yes, the bald 4-year-old brat is like Citizen Kane compared to this.
