Let's talk about the cartoon characters that have been around for decades but if they were introduced today would not pass the strict rules of television for kids these days.
Jokey Smurf.
This is a no brainer, Jokey is a cruel person who takes delight in letting things explode into others' faces and laughing at their expense. Even more so he never learns, his terroristic ways have landed him in prison (During the "King smurf" adventure) being repeatly beaten up by the other smurfs and it even had Papa Smurf giving him house arrest. But as soon as the opportunity arises he walks out once more with his exploding giftboxes, ready to once again laugh at somebody's expense.
Donald Duck
According to the modern demographic Donald Duck would have never made it. Because he's loudmouthed violent and extremely moody. Not to mention that he's also prone on hitting his nephews with a branch if they pull something on him. He would be branded a child molester.
Jerry
Let's be honest here, Tom is not the bad guy in this cartoon. It is his job to guard the house and keep it free from vermin, his paycheck is the fact that he gets a roof over his head and that people feed him. Jerry however is a mouse one of the most unhygenic animals around, he lives in a house where he's unwanted, steals food and puts the blame all on Tom. If the object is to show Good prevailing over evil, in Tom and Jerry it's always the other way around. Jerry is making Tom's life a living hell and he's always coming out on top? Such a mean character would NEVER have a chance on today's TV.
