Worst Things About Cartoons

I am strictly talking as a cartoon fan and nothing else, As a kid I grew up on cartoons they were the best however over time cartoons have had their share of problems a fair share of controversy, and horrendous stereotypes.
The Top Ten
1 Awful Stereotyped Characters

What does any of this have to do with Awful Stereotyped characters, cartoons have always had a history of stereotyped characters the way they've portrayed the British, Native Americans, Eskimos, the Chinese, The Russians, Italians, Mexicans and especially the Jews.

Since Anime=Cartoons, I'm guessing they have those things to. If you look at the Japanese translation book under cartoon, you will even see the word anime. There is nothing different about it except the styles. Fullmetal Alchemist is a cartoon as much as Animaniacs is an anime

Do you know the most surprising source of cartoon stereotypes: the Magic School Bus. I'll only tell you the characters' nationalities, and you can figure out what they are.

Arnold - French
Carlos - Mexican
Phoebe - Irish
Wanda - Chinese
Dorothy Ann - German
Ralphie - Italian
Tim and Keesha - African-American

Think about it.

2 History of Racism

Is not a history were proud of but it is a very important part of our history and to deny it is like denying that the Holocaust and and Slavery ever happened which is just wrong.

Its no secret Cartoons have had a long history of racism for example the way they use to portray black people with black faces and big pink lips.

3 Bullying Adult Characters
4 Bad Parents
5 History of Controversy
6 No Character Development

There is hardly character development throughout the shows and that the characters are still stupid and annoying through every season.
Such as Marinette from Ladybug. I hate her tooo much! She is so annoying and insane and that her feelings for Adrien are stupid and that she didn't change throughout the whole show.
She is such an idiot for someone her age, and that she lacks knowledge and development through the show.

I hate her a lot. Grrrr!
Also Starfire from TTG, she is the most stupid female character in the DC. I hate her too much. She is so annoying and insane, just like Marinette.
Both are so annoying and insane and they lack development.
Lack of Character Development is the worst thing in a cartoon and show. It is extremely insane just to see characters not developed no matter the number of season's are. It is so annoying and I dislike it a lot.

7 One Dimensional Villains
8 Encouragement of Bad Behavior

Some cartoons actually encourage bad behavior for instance Bart Simpsosn a bad kid who smarts off to adults and does what ever pleases he's doing bad but people love him for it like Stone Cold Steve Austin who the fans loved for breaking the rules, drinking beer and flipping people off.

One episode of Beavis and Butthead was banned after an indecent in which two kids were burned to death in a trailer fire allegedly inspired by an incident in the episode.

9 Characters Who Develop Badly

A lot of Cartoon character start of likable and then turn into unlikable jerks for example Sponge Bob began as an easygoing character with goals has now become a wining crybaby who constantly annoys everyone around him.

10 Over Used Plot Lines

Best example of this is the Road Runner Wile E Coyote plot where Wile E tries to capture road runner only to get crushed, electrocuted, fall of the cliff or his traps backfire which is fine but it can get tiring watching the same plot play out in every episode whats the point of watching if you already know the outcome.

The Contenders
11 Ripping Off of Anime
12 Gross-Out Humor

Just gross, what's so funny about a guy who picks his nose, never takes a shower and farts everywhere? Not to mention cartoons show snot and drool and all that other gross stuff.

Not all gross out cartoons are bad there are some that are mostly loved like happy tree friends.

There is a right way to do it Ren and Stimpy and a wrong way to do it Mega Babies.

Ren and Stimpy and Mega Babies both do it wrong.

13 Character Archetypes
14 Bad Writers
15 Bad Animation
16 Inappropriate Cartoons Shows That Are Suppose to Be for Kids
17 Cartoon Porn
18 Lazy Animations

The animators need to start making better shows. They are wasting their time making useless comedy for no reason which is NOT funny. They make them just for money and that they don't care about the audiences reaction to it. They are wasting their time making useless comedy for nothing. They are literally ruining the lives of wonderful kids with stupid cartoons.

19 No Themes
20 Mean-Spirited Humor
21 Careless Characterization
22 Unlikable Characters

Literally ever single cartoon has this. Really. I don't get the fact that they are wasting their time doing this garbage! All characters are unlikable and annoying and are extremely stupid. Really. They do stupid things just to be funny, but really the are trying to gross out the audience and make them dislike the show a lot.

23 Bad Cartoons Based On Video Games

American Cartoons have a bad track record when it comes to video game cartoons, Drakstalkers, Sonic Underground, Pac-man, Saturday Supercade wich was a horrible collection of bad cartoons based on games, street fighter, and of all things that garbage that was Captain N.

24 Too Much "Good vs. Evil"

This is more with Japanese cartoons or as you like to refer to anime. Everything animated is both a cartoon and an anime. Stop acting like they are two different things.

This is with anime too. Along with the high school plot. At least with western cartoons it's not most of the time.

25 Meaningless Cartoon Deaths

It actually does have something to do with this list because an anime is a cartoon. Anything that is animated is a cartoon and an anime. They are the same thing. So anime is also involved in this

By Meaningless deaths it means the characters who aren't part of the main series who exist just to die who's deaths have little or no meaning.

Nobody cares whither or not anime is the same as cartoons what the hell does it have to do with meaningless cartoon deaths anyway.

What do you mean by meaningless. In their last cartoon made by the original people, tom and jerry die and get killed.
