I distinctly remember a time (in the early 70s, I think) watching some Loony Toons on TV. The joke would be set up — the anvil is falling or the dynamite fuse is burning down or the truck is speeding — and then the cartoon would cut to the next scene — no clang of the anvil, no boom or dynamite, no whack of the car. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Road Runner, Tweety — it didn’t matter.
Other shows were just as bad. It was about this same time there was a big push to steer kids away from toy guns. Fortunately, my brother and I already had a good collection, but we probably would have used sticks if we had to.
Video game violence is far more graphic than anything shown in those cartoons.

The overly sensitive culture is at it again.
