I've been watching YouTube videos about the hidden or banned cartoons & Disney from decades past

Those things be they shows , shorts or movies not only demonstrate how things from back then were ok back than but not ok now

it also demonstrates how back then creators of shows storylines & sometimes art were forced to change or (minerly) tweak their creations so as to make them suitable back then but now those creators & shows/arts have been -- in this post 9/11 world made into the fall guys & not the ones that back than caused the "edits" that probably caused the current/post 9/11 turmoil

Which goes to prove that humans need forward sight as well as hindsight

My dad was a kid in the 50s. He has no issues saying all the problems we have today, every single one of them they had back then. They were just good at brushing it under the rug and enforcing the illusion we now have of morality, conformity and tranquility.
He has no issues saying it is all bullshit and is no snowflake.

So, it's nothing new, they were doing it then as well with other stuff.

What if every girl back then had been able to watch this video back then would their children & grandchildren (both girls & boys) have had so much misinformation , discomfort &or mystery handed down the family tree https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx9WIfzG04sSmT1Dtpy0DboEVVwP...

Menstruation? That film would've at least helped avoid the classic PMS jokes.

I'm a guy, so never had one but my mother is a nurse, I'm medically quite well informed.

About all subjects I meant
Did lack of that information back then create a schism of silence about that AND other things that became the norm throughout the decades

Certainly. Take mental health. It was medically better understood than we think. True, the terminology was far more technical and less defined for the layman, but it was better understood. Take this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQPoYVKeQEs from WW2. It has issues putting it in plain language but academically they fully get it.
Socially though it was a different matter. The state would just lock them up or hide them and the average person would see them as weak freaks.

My dad's grandpa had mental health issues, and it wasn't until he was well into his mid 50s did he learn the true story about how he was hidden away and how he ended it. He thought it was a "boating accident", it did involve drowning. Christian love for you, shows why he became an atheist. The guy who found him was likely more respectful.

LGBTQ+ was as academically better understood than we think as well but was a social death sentence. As was discrimination, social class contrast, poverty, domestic violence and abuse by authority.
Everything, and I mean everything we talk about as problems today they had back then. They just did a better job at hiding it.

And my father is basically conservative. Though by Kiwi standards that's tame by Yanky standards.
