Ghibli movies are excellently animated, at least. Miyazaki set out with the intention of emulating Disney animation in its technical proficiency and did a fuckin' ace job of it. As far as the medium goes television-wise, it's as lovely as a ton of Western produced animation, just in a different way.

I mean holy flying dog poo poo, is there anything uglier than a CG-animated TV show?

Depends; does the newest GBS rule also apply here?

You're god-damned right. When at somebody's house, seeing their kid watching the cheapest, most terrible animated shows, I feel a huge urge to turn the TV off. It's almost as strong as the urge to fix the drat aspect ratio.

Well at least there's no VCR displays blinking 00:00 anymore.

I've never watched South Park, but this is the first time I've heard it described as hard right-wing propaganda.

It's heavy-handed satire in a style that makes it (also) appealing to everyone it's satirizing. This isn't South Park's problem or even a modern one, it's been the same way with satire and stupid bigoted people for centuries if not millennia.

GTA isn't really a period piece, though. If we're to believe Rockstar and GTA itself, it isn't even set in this reality.

Here's something that'll blow your mind: no work of fiction is set in this reality.

bigeo games might not be well-regarded but at least their hands weren't legally tied by anything (they did talk about such legislature ~ a decade ago but nothing major came of it) - you could still make a game like spec ops since there isn't anything outright restricting the kind of content/themes you can create - it's just up to a developer somewhere out there to deliver on the promise and produce something that really engages people and ~*lifts*~ the medium. I personally don't think that's happened yet but some people do.

The Comics Code was not "legal", it was self-censorship. Just like the ratings systems games companies adhere to so they can get sold in shops.

Do most people have personal memories of believing in Santa and that being good? Because I can't remember that far back, so all I've got is memories of knowing that Santa wasn't real but that you shouldn't say that because adults seemed to be really invested in kids believing it for some reason. As far as I can remember, it's never seemed like a good thing to me.

Kids actually believing in Santa Claus is a lovely third-world thing. When I grew up everyone just believed in the Soviet Union and Leluliike Casagrande.
