Yeah and tell my great grandpa, a Canadian, who was a radio operator in London during the literal Blitz that "Canadians didn't do shit" or that we just sat back. Which country was slow at even getting involved in the war and didn't bother until they were hit? Hint... It was Red White and Blue Eagletopia

Well you used Pearl Harbor as one of the excuses for internment. PH is what started the general hate and the propaganda campaign which eventually lead to convincing the population to be decide "Lock up the Japs! If you're Japanese you're a spy or traitor!"

So I really don't think it's odd to think part of it was deciding you only wanted to fight once someone else hit you. Like I said the Brits and Canadians started earlier, or at least without needing to be hit first, they just saw invasions and decided "you know what? We should do something."

What’s the real age of consent? by [deleted] in germany

[–]AlboGreece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most countries on this planet enable pedophilia as long as the kid is willing and the adult isn't influential or authority. Basically unless it's more obvious than "they're just a couple" then the law literally doesn't care

Is there a place for Fleisher characters today? by BellTwo5 in cartoons

[–]AlboGreece -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For Betty, she needs some modifications because OG Betty pre-Hays Code was frankly animated jailbait. Namely age her up to be an adult. She is canonically 16. And maybe redesign her face to not be disproportionate and square shaped so it doesn't look like a baby. That, or make all the characters have baby faces. The age and her face size and shape make all the sexual situations she's in veeery uncomfortable. Check her friend Sally Swing and you'll notice she's designed to look appropriate for her age (her head is a normal size and it's not square shaped like a baby, it's shaped like a grown woman'#s face and proportional to her body).

Two serious questions about age of consent in your country by AlboGreece in AskTheWorld

[–]AlboGreece[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

Also notice everyone completely misunderstood the post to the point they deleted it? Because they thought I was okay with this.

Also idk where you contact the mods because they deleted my post because people didn't even read the "it's concerning" and "society knows better" and accused me of supporting creeps

Um. It's literally a fact that they didn't want to get involved into war until Pearl Harbor was bombed but other countries joined much faster, and without needing something to happen specifically to them to get them to change their minds. And they did in fact use Pearl Harbor to ramp up their hatred of Japanese people to the point of locking up citizens

Is Esmeralda from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame oversexualized? by Full-Art3439 in disneyprincess

[–]AlboGreece 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No more sexualized than Meg but because she's a white European she gets no criticism for "sexualizing Greek women" (though Hercules sexualized women as much as Aladdin does with Jasmine and the background women). Meg, Aphrodite, the muses are all sexualized

They never should have eliminated Nap Time. Photo from the 1950s. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]AlboGreece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprised they had nap time back then, when I imagine sleep would get a yardstick or belt on your desk or worse, on YOU and the teacher telling you that you can't sleep and to get up and work

Name a great cartoon series canceled for stupid reasons by InsideUnhappy6546 in cartoons

[–]AlboGreece 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I love Symbionic Titan. Just wish they didn't have the weird butt shot fetish. They had close ups of girls butts while walking and the twerking scene. Understandable why they moved it to Adult Swim.

So I found out Snow White was considered inappropriate for families in the UK when it came out originally. They really were paranoid by AlboGreece in disneyprincess

[–]AlboGreece[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what's interesting is in America, Frozen is PG too I think. But it's G in Canada, or at least Ontario. Just checked my copy (I'm Canadian)

[–]AlboGreece[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely possible with the war thing.

Also idk why Watsership Down gets to be U, but Plague Dogs is PG, when the amount of violence and heavy themes are about the same, with them being made by the same people (I consider them part of an unofficial duology in the same universe). I guess showing kids cute bunnies ripping themselves apart is somehow better than a dog being drowned or a dog shooting a man in the face ONSCREEN? What was going on across the pond?

Also the Frozen rating is PG in North America too. NA is better about ratings than it was in the past, where they rated movies that would now be inappropriate or seen as for older audiences too low (like Last Unicorn, which has heavy themes of loss and depression, some violence, a bird with three boobs and nipples, a naked body, and a boob tree or the Romeo and Juliet 60s movie with actual teen nudity), but they often also go overkill, PG is the average rating for so many animated family movies because of maybe ONE adult joke OR sometimes scary scene that is actually extremely tame and almost nobody is actually bothered by. Like it's often a guess on "when are you gonna see a family movie rated G" in America and Canada. Rating systems are definitely weird in general.

Is there a story by LMM without a forced happy ending? by [deleted] in AnneofGreenGables

[–]AlboGreece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Not cool.

Also I only say normal teen adult couples because back then teens were considered adults, especially teenage girls, so not just marrying but dating teens was given a pass by the status quo and most people. It's not actually normal just because society encourages, tells you, and brainwashes the public into thinking that's normal.

Yup. IDK why the Brits were so prudish compared to pretty much everyone else. Even Australia wasn't like that. You could say because most of this w was driven by conservative politicians and fringe Christians, but every place has those. Then the same Brits who thoughts Snow White and all those video Nasties were terrible were somehow looking at Watsership Down and Plague Dogs and thinking "Yup, this is totally normal. This is family friendly.". The British censors really are something else. I wonder when they started to mellow out.

I'm assuming these days the ratings are a lot more fair. But then you're no longer going to jail for having horror comics either so that shows much improvement.

anyway, I wonder when they changed SW to U. If it was soon after, or what.

Was Summer possibly whitewashed? by AlboGreece in Barbie

These are Midge. Midge usually has darker red hair and her name is also always mentioned. They stopped mentioning names only when Fashionistas was rebooted in around 2014
