Why were there so many "single parent" cartoons in the 90s?
>>152585459Well, champ..>pulls out chair, turns it around and sits backwards on it*Sigh*..It was unironically a different time, you know?
>>152585459>Why were there so many "single parent" cartoons in the 90s?disney didn't want people thirsting over Goofy's wife
>>152585459Can you name some examples?
>>152585459Continuing from old sitcoms where a parent (usually the mom) is dead or otherwise not around so the other can still be allowed to look for romance while looking out for their kid(s).
>>152585459Why do you ask questions you're already convinced you know the answer to?
>>152586093To get replies?
>>152585559>Can you name some examples?Dragon Ball Z, but that's anime
>>152585459Why did you put single parent in quotation marks?
>>152586104Who is a single parent in DBZ? King Cold?
>>152586103You could simply make statements instead.
>>152585519This but actually unironically. They wanted a father-son dynamic but they didn't want a mother figure around because it would come with implications that Goofy had sex at some point, which would take away from his family-friendly branding.
>>152585519Pete's wife is enough.
>>152585459Immaculate mpreg
>>152586224>they didn't want a mother figure around because it would come with implications that Goofy had sex at some pointDoesn’t the fact he has a fucking son pretty heavily imply he had sex at some point? I know back in the olden days Mickey and Donald were given nephews instead of kids for similar reasons, but they still had girlfriends.
>>152585459It's one less character they have to animate.
>>152586269>Doesn’t the fact he has a fucking son pretty heavily imply he had sex at some point?Max could be adopted.
>>152585459I would totally fuck max up the ass
>>152586384Adoption standards were stricter back then.
>>152586224>didn't want a mother figure around>take away from his family-friendly branding.Isn't that just as crazy
>>152586507You and every other degenerate furry fag. You aren't special.
>>152586132>Who is a single parent in DBZ? King Cold?the one Goku killed in his oozaru form, duh
>>152585519Linda Carder I presume?
>>152585459Divorce rates peaked around the late 70s and early 80s so a lot of kids growing up on those decades knew what it was like
>>152586947This. No-fault divorce got legalized and there were a shit ton of couples who were sick of pretending to still love each other
>>152586947Peaked? It's still fucking going. I literally had a good number of co-workers that were single dads.
>>152585459There are lots of shows with single parents now. The reason is that cultural marxists want to destroy the nuclear family.
>>152587196More like women destroyed the nuclear family.
>>152587158>Peaked? It's still fucking going.Ok but do you know what peaked means?We're also assuming here Goofy was divorced instead of widowed and that to be a single dad you need to be married then divorced and not just have an accident.
A lot of legislation in the 70s 80s and 90s was passed to make it easier for single-parent households to get by financially and that had a net negative effect on marriages.
Not sure if it was the intent or not, but a bunch of black people think A Goofy Movie was a black movie.
>>152587294It's because of Powerline.
>>152585459to cut costs you just dont put caracters that you dont need in stories
>>152585519Alternatively they wanted their lady audience to know Goofy was still available.
>>152586856Grandpa Gohan...?
>>152585459Like several other anons said, divorce was much more common in the 90's.
>>152586947I was born in the 80s and, almost unique among my friends, my parents were still together and remained so until my mother's death in 2016.The only friends I had who's parents stayed together were non-angloamericans. My best friend was half, but his parents are Opus Dei Catholics so that divorce was out of the question. All the others with married parents? Immigrant kids.Divorce is extremely Angloprotestant, which is funny to me because they talk about the sanctity of marriage so fucking much.
>>152587955Divorce being common is a byproduct of early marriage being common. Your high school sweetheart is probably not actually your ideal partner for life.
>>152588055Probably. But then, those immigrant kids? All of their parents married young, too. My parents are practically ancient. My mum would be 80 this year were she still kicking. So age, while absolutely a factor, isn't as big of one as people would like to think. It's cultural. And that culture is Angloprotestant
>>152588114Angloprotestant built the world we live in thoughever, so they'd better find a way to solve this one and soon, or all the systems of civilization that we depend on for survival will cease to exist, along with the people who depend on them. It wasn't the Catholics or the Browns who built all this, discovered powered flight, landed on the moon or constructed the internet, either.
>>152586224>>152586269
>>152586093>you're already convinced you know the answer to??I don't understand your post. Why are you injecting your own thoughts and calling them someone else's?
>>152588235>It wasn't the Catholics or the Browns who built all this, discovered powered flight, landed on the moon or constructed the internet, either.They are the ones who use it the most though
>>152585559Rocket Power?
Roger Baxter is the greatest single cartoon dad of all time.
>>152590755He was gay with fat tits Tito.
>>152585459And why was it always the dad who was still around?
>>152585559Rugrats
>>152586132Chi Chi, damn near. Bulma's a close second, but Vegeta actually does participate...well, more than Goku, anyway.
>>152590858Usually it was because the mom had died.
I think all the single dads should hang out sometime.
>>152585459Even Japan had them.
>>152590861>First wife got shot.
