I'd argue it's also a deliberate attempt to destroy attention span like most things targeted towards kids nowadays.
You can't notice the problems in the world and fix them if you're constantly searching for that next dopamine hit.
There's a global conspiracy among cartoonists. They want to destroy the world one kid at a time. Lmao get real.
Yeah it's not the cartoonist. It's the media corporation they operate through.
It's not a secret that media outlets heavily influence what is aired on their channels. Hell they determine what they air in the first place. That and the FCC is a govt agency that determines what is or is not appropriate for public television. And with half our govt trying to strip education it's not that far of a stretch.
The actual cartoonist is usually on the lower end of the power dynamic. You make what they tell you to make or you don't work for them.
Pretty sure it's a lot easier to do what cartoons have been doing forever: sell toys.
