The definition of "harmful" has changed over the years from when they were originally created, and this is why some cartoons and literature are being restricted presently, and deemed unsuitable for children.

The definition of harmful hasn't changed at all. This is the kind of nonsense that onboarders say to justify lunacy.
The use of "harmful" has been weaponized, mostly by people who are making any connection they can that involves "race" in order to make a statement. If the people who weaponize action against perceived "harmful behaviours" really cared about harm then there would be greater subscription to "live and let live" instead of "outrage and cancellation".
It's all a lie. All of it. And the changes you mentioned are done out of fear of the witch hunt. Which is ironic, because so many people don't want to acknowledge this as what's going on, yet they sure as hell are afraid of it. It's all a lie and it's so deep that even people who know it's a lie continue to lie about it out of fear.

Exactly. This guy above was saying that the definition of harmful has changed as if this is all a movement of a genuine nature. It's not. It's a movement of reverse psychology and verbal judo. It's all a lie that has caught on for the same reasons that an entire town was overtaken by mania in Massachusetts and burned people alive in Salem. It's the exact same thing, and the fact that we see so many posts about it here for example tells us clearly that the world is still populated with same emotionally clad fool archetypes of humanity as was back then. It's the exact same thing - even an ahead of the curve fifth grader could see it if not mired in the psychology social acceptance.
