Do you love watching cartoons? Yes, we are talking about the adult version of you. Don’t worry, even as an adult, there is no harm if you are totally addicted to watching different types of cartoons. We all enjoy moments of escape, and the best part is that there are many cartoons made especially for adults.
However, there is a big question in this picture. Do you have access to all the best cartoons? No? Do you know why? It is because some popular cartoons are banned in different countries.
Winnie the Pooh
What could this adorable bear possibly do to get itself banned? Well, the content had nothing to do with it. It was banned in China because the internet users started comparing the cartoon character to the then-Chinese President Xi Jinping. Things went so far that it became the most censored image in 2015.
Peppa Pig
Though made strictly for kids, many adults enjoy this adorable cartoon. One of its episodes got banned in Australia for a funny yet important reason. In the episode, it was shown that the main characters are befriending a spider. In reality, there are few Australian spiders that are deadly and the authorities do not want the children to think that the spiders are safe. A valid reason to ban!
The Loud House
This cartoon is among the most famous for its progressive portrayal of the LGBTQ community. However, people in Kenya will never be able to see this, as it is banned. The administration said that the cartoon is glorifying homosexual behaviors and hence corrupting the children.
Simpsons
It is one of the most popular shows, and most of us love seeing it. However, the ban in Myanmar was not due to the content or character. It was due to the cartoon’s recurring red-and-yellow theme. That is the color scheme used by the rebels at that time.
South Park
It would be surprising if this cartoon wasn’t in this link? Known as one of the most diversified offensive cartoons this is a show that is banned in many countries. Even some episodes are banned in the USA or heavily censored.
Family Guy
When it comes to being a controversial cartoon, this show is always at the top. Not only was it banned in one country, but also in Russia, India, South Africa, South Korea, the Philippines, Venezuela, Taiwan, Egypt, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Iran. Other than that, many episodes were banned worldwide, including in the USA. Why? Because it is full of sensitive topics that the government is too scared to air.
