Disney, here to save kids from screens.

Reminds me of when I saw a bunch of tshirts with the word "PUNK" written on them displayed in a window in a mall.

A silver lining to this is new parents are very aware of the dangers of screen time. In my little community, I haven't seen parents of kids under the age of 3 give their kid any type of screen especially when they're out. It's a real generational divide, since I used to see kids with tablets in restaurants everywhere back 5 or 6 years ago. The new thing is screen free electronics, like a device kids can stick cards in and it repeats words in English or Spanish.

Even worse is what the screen is showing...Every new animation on youtube appear to involve some toilet reference, like if I look up dinosaur cartoons, most of the hits will be showing farting dinosaurs or potty training dinosaurs with animated shit (literally). Disgusting...

WTAF?

Thankfully there is also a wealth of 90s and older cartoons to be had if you care enough to search for them...
