Because societies usually progress...

Like, there was (and still is) rules about acceptable behavior and a ratings system to reflect what something contains.

A cartoon with a Y7 rating won't contain as much as PG13 and neither will have as much as R rated. If something is "unrated" it means it doesn't meet R guidelines, or that it was just not rated but would have gotten a rating.

Like, it seems like you're just unaware of ratings systems, despite them existing in every country I'm aware of.

    Like, you seem unaware that the ratings system you refer to didn't exist in the 50s.

    Or, are you answering what you imagined OP asked, instead of reading it?

    ...

    If you don't know or want more info, you're more likely to get that help by asking questions...

    The Motion Picture Production Code was a set of industry guidelines for the self-censorship of content that was applied to most motion pictures released by major studios in the United States from 1934 to 1968. It is also popularly known as the Hays Code, after Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) from 1922 to 1945. The code spelled out unacceptable content for motion pictures produced for a public audience in the United States, such as drugs, profanity, and sex. Under Hays's leadership, the MPPDA, later the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the Motion Picture Association (MPA), adopted the Production Code in 1930 and began rigidly enforcing it in 1934.

    From 1934 to 1954, the code was closely associated with Joseph Breen, the administrator appointed by Hays to enforce the code in Hollywood. The film industry followed the guidelines set by the code well into the late 1950s, but it began to weaken, owing to the combined impact of television, influence from foreign films, controversial directors (such as Otto Preminger) pushing boundaries, and intervention from the courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.[1][2] In 1968, after several years of minimal enforcement, the Production Code was replaced by the MPAA film rating system.

    The modern ratings system evolved from the Hays code, the fact that it was just the Hays code is why things were so uniform back then. The fact that there was no enforcement is why MPAA was standardized...

    If you're gonna keep acting like you were, you're going to quickly run out of patient people who are willing to help.

    You'd still be able to make your "slams" it's just you'll never actually learn anything.

    How you use social media is up to you buddy
