Before the internet, this was how little kids got exposed to super fucked up animation
Liquid fucking Television on the MTV
parents who weren’t paying attention in the 90s would leave anything on in front of they kids if it was animated. As a result, many very young children got exposed to fucked up shit (like baby me)
check this one out:

this was the first thing I ever saw from Liquid Television
my gram gram put it on for me one night while she sat in her easy chair and read somthin, completely oblivious to what was goin on in front of her grandkid's peepers
that fucking part where the guy gets stabbed by the metal leg hit me so hard as a baby, you did flat out NOT see blood in cartoons back then and I was SHOOK
then thar was this one:
youtube
this was on MTV and Nickelodeon (back when Nick didn’t have enough original content to fill their air time they would just air random shit)
WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS OK FOR NICK???? MTV yes but fucking Nickelodeon?!?!?
Oh and then theres this one that super messed me up for awhile:
youtube
BABY.
SHOULD.
NOT.
HAVE.
WATCHED THIS.
but baby did
as a grown ass adult I LOOOOOVE these shorts, they’re wonderfully animated and dynamic, but as a tiny kid I was NOT ready for ANY of it
and don’t get me started on all the Aeon Flux I shouldnt o seen
The irony is that these are so tame compared to what I found once I had internet access. You should have seen Newgrounds when it first launched, holy fuck, but I was older and a little more ready for messed up shit (emphasis on a little)
oh! oh!
✨bonus!✨

FUN STORY
on a rainy afternoon me and some other relatives my age were watching mtv (because there were cartoons on, duh) and this came on
this upset one of them so fucking deeply that they had to call their mom to take them home
even I was disturbed by it, but I remembered it mainly cos of how it affected my relation
funny how back then this was considered really messed up but now kids the same age as we were back then....
....get to watch this:
youtube
anyways now I inflict/gift u all with these wonderful animated shorts
have one more for the road! Baby me really didn't like this one, woo!
Hoping to get a number of her own to get out of the train, Mirror Tulip hitches a ride to a car where passengers, who entered the train, get assigned their numbers imprinted on the palm of their hands. “The Tape Car” premiered on this day, 4 Years Ago.
👩👧I love the way my custom hand drawn cartoon gift from @givealaughdrawings turned out!! I simply sent the artist a photo and told him my vision of a mommy and me matching outfit theme with a desert background. I love how you can choose anything you want - a fun backdrop, a specific theme, interacting with things or anything else you can think of and they create the magic! The artist sends you a draft and you're allowed to request unlimited revisions until you get exactly the drawing you want! Right now you can get 10% off your own custom cartoon drawing with my code: NurseShannan https://givealaugh.com
