Stereotypes
Racism
Colonialism
Etc

On older episode of the Tintin cartoon with the sun worshippers popped into my head. Watched it and... yikes

Other things that seemed wholesome like Asterix and Babar are just rife with problems.

I honestly cant think of many, except for things like tribal people being seen as monsters, like in the Alvin and the Chipmunke movie. But I dont think they were any specific tribe, so maybe its safe to say that specific fantasy race could be that way.

Aside from the very old cartoons doing black face, but those also werent for children.

I mean, kids need to learn about this stuff so they can be challenged and grow.

That's not problematic, it's just called story telling.

Lol Dave really was a visionary.

Even as a kid I remember watching his episodes and there was this nagging feeling I'd get in the pit of my stomach that I didn't like, I didn't like what I was seeing. I remember getting a similar sensation when I watched Frollo groping Esmeralda in Hunchback, I knew this was wrong somehow but I couldn't really express my feelings why this felt wrong.

Always groaned when it would be an episode with him even though I wanted a bugs bunny cartoon or even would settle for Daffy Duck.

Tin Tin has a very different attitude towards the depiction and treatment of Asian people than it does towards African people.

Looney Tunes had quite a few things that range from "Questionable" to "Holy shit they couldn't do this now"

(Not everything in that vid qualifies but... 5:37 and 6:10 are most likely to get a Yikes)
