Back in the days cartoons where always making fun of censors and ridiculing them in one way or the other
Is this still a thing now ? Or are cartoons nowadays only focused on featuring as many gays and trans as possible ?

The vast majority of the cartoons that made fun of censors were syndicated; S&P had power over them but nowhere near as much they had over shows made specifically for their networks. Shows these days fall into the latter category and there's a lot less snarky metahumor about S&P as a result.
Phineas and Ferb with its recurring "imitable acts" line is the last thing I can think of that made a point of poking at the censors.

making fun of censors eventually ran inteslf into the ground during the 90s
Im pretty sure it lost that edge eventually

The only ones who really did that were Spielberg cartoons and the only cartoon to really poke fun at it now-a-days was Gravity Falls.

Why are you so obsessed with gays and trans

Because they're different from anons and therefore must be exterminated from existence.

You know the Simpsons also did that with their tree house of horror.
Also what is S&P and why do Americans can't stop jerking off to acronyms? Do actual words scare you?

I assumed OP was talking about kids cartoons because censorship in modern day adult cartoons is practically non-existent. Family Guy gets away with so much shit despite airing right after Simpsons. Having your baby character impregnate himself with the pet dog's semen so he can have his hybrid babies is no longer a big deal in cartoons.

Read the filename you fucking retard.

>why am I obsessed with the political agenda of a sexually deviant group of people keen on forcing their unnatural fetishes in cartoons for children??

Totally unlike the 90's.

There are no censors to abide by anymore. Anything is permitted. Some stuff worth censoring doesn't get included though because that stuff isn't profitable, but the stuff that does make money such as promoting sexual dysphoria or hatred towards authority figures IS profitable in current year, so such subjects prevail throughout cartoons. If killing cats was suddenly something that could make a show money, the writers would include it and get away with it.
Censors were put in place because television, especially children's networking, used to be publicly funded and therefore it was up to the public to decide what they did and did not want to be paying for. That's why Arthur's gay rat made national headlines while My Big Gay Calarts Adventure has homosexual children running around everywhere and it's hailed as "progressive". Arthur was publicly paid for and as a result broke the conduct of public television content.

You wouldn't believe the amount of cartoons that have "Force feeding a character until they got fat" or "Big fatass squished a character by sitting on them" gags.

Today's cartoons are made by the censors.

A lot of cartoons nowadays are privately funded and only answerable to shareholders, hedge fund guys, and a lot of people with business and communications that are trying to maximize profit by appealing to target demographics.
Censors are just seen as the enemy of a lot of cartoonists who stand in the way of change, with cartoonists being unaware that these guys are doing their job.
