It seems to me that Tom and Jerry are a little different. I would rather compare Tickling and Scratching with Happy Forest Friends, whom many, for reasons I don't understand, watch and love)
Despite all the nostalgia for "Tom and Jerry", "Tickle and Scratch" is a parody of "Tom and Jerry", which was repeatedly emphasized by the creators themselves. There has always been violence in the original, in the parody it is simply shown hypertrophied. Try to revise the original in adulthood - it is perceived quite differently.
@Serial_poinocham: the ending has put everything in its place. Some people don't like watching cartoons, some people don't like nude statues. There is no rational explanation. If you don't like it, don't look, why force others to do it.
I do not think that the demonstration of violence directly provokes violent actions, and that cartoons / computer games, etc., should be banned, just as I do not think that with their cancellation, children will go outside and play happily with each other in the world of pink ponies. But I was notably bombed by what's in the series, what's here, from the substitution of concepts.
Yes, in both cases it was about showing a work of art or banning it. But this is where the similarity ends, because the message that this art carried in itself was fundamentally different. There is no contradiction in the fact that the same character is against the propaganda of violence, and for the propaganda of beauty (to the extent that he understands them). The subject of dispute can only be how exactly to evaluate a particular work, and the right to censorship based on the results of such an assessment.
The question of censorship in itself would be a good topic for discussion if it were considered from two sides: on the one hand, "who are the judges?", on the other, the consequences of the absence of any censorship. Here, instead of such a discussion as an axiom, an equal sign is put between phenomena that differ in meaning and evaluation of the characters themselves. The idea of indirect self-defense of the authors of The Simpsons from similar accusations creeps in.
Marge had to sue them for using her image in a cartoon without her permission (and grab as much money as possible for how they did with this image later :))
Tickle and Scratch and Marge. Realizing that the footage from the cartoon "Tickle and Scratch" has a negative impact on children, Marge creates a campaign against violence in cartoons. This forces the creator of "Tickle and Scratch" to change the idea of the cartoon. Now the characters of this cartoon become friendly and kind. As a result, the rating of the show drops to zero. Meanwhile, the residents of Springfield are asking Marge to lead a movement against the arrival of an exhibition in the city, where the sculpture "David" by Michelangelo will be shown. Not finding a reason for this idea, Marge loses credibility among her team, which supported her.
Without this cartoon, even Bart and Lisa were friendly, they built a house together, walked on the street, and not only stared at the box, Just like all the residents of Saringfield.
Everyone played so sweetly with each other on the playgrounds 🙏🏻🥰
