Why it worked

The video likely resonated due to its provocative title and the stark contrast it presented between older and newer media. The inclusion of a contemporary social issue within an animated format may have also contributed to its shareability.

Summary

The video contrasts older animated TV shows with modern ones, suggesting a shift in messaging. It highlights a scene from an older show with a violent confrontation and then shows a scene from a newer animated show where a character discusses their non-binary identity and preferred pronouns.
