It's not about nostalgia, it's about ideology, CN could've easily air the original PPG show just fine, but they don't because nowadays we live in a society which tries to point out anything to make an excuse for social justice, which just makes things worse and tries to create problems over nothing, and in the end, with such watered down and "social friendly" content aired on TV it will just make our children even more sensitive and divided so to speak, for example the original powerpuff girls had a great sense of "being a criminal is bad and they must be punished", the reboot barely shows any of that (I would point out more examples but I want to avoid a 10+ page discussion over this) if that's the path we're going, I'm worried about what's going to be in the future generations.

PhantOS:
but that's you talking, you don't really represent the current child demographic well. also this whole 'tv is ruining our children!' argument has been fought before on literally every level in every time period. back when powerpuff girls and samurai jack used to air, parents would literally boycott cartoon network, saying that those shows were too violent and were a bad influence on children. your argument is probably the less credible and a complete role reversal.

i mean, cmon. 'this show is making our children too sensitive'? children are literally the most sensitive demographic on earth, if anything exposing them to less violence is objectively better than more violence. the morals you want to be teaching kids are respect towards other people and helpfulness/benevolence, not libertarian vigilante justice like samurai jack or powerpuff girls (though ppg is definitely an empowering show for female audiences)

either way both of our arguments are made moot by the fact that cartoon network is still profiting vastly off of their business model, so your personal grievances aren't really that valid considering the fact that cartoon network is one of the most viewed channels. if their stocks and viewership dropped significantly then the whole 'teen titans go needs to go' chant would be more valid than ever

pretty sure the people who go on r/cringe and use the word "triggered" non stop are the same people who watch these shows soooo

cblock360:
The PPG show has little girls twerking and there is a character in the show who is modeled after one the artists who works on the show and both he and Blossom are madly in love with each other. The original show is considered better because A.) It doesn't have twerking girls nor child enthusiasm (except that one episode where a geek tries to take the girls captive for his sick collection) and.B.) The core of the show was that our main heroines were cute little innocent girls who beat the crap out of people.
