Are the 80's Turtles 'cancellable'?

You know these modern day teenage idiots discover old shows, then get their undies in a bunch when they discover the show has a lot of humor and jokes that don't fly today but somehow expect a show from the 80's or 90's to somehow have modern day sensibilities?

Are there any episodes or jokes or whatever from the old show that would have caused problems? I don't really think so, especially since the show was very tame and for kids.

The only thing I can see is 'not enough black people' in the cast or backgrounds because nowadays it feels every show needs to have tons of black people in it or else its racist. I'm not sure Shredder counts either cause he was voices by Uncle Phil, but if he was voiced by a white guy.... hoo boy, man the cancel-stations.

I guess maybe all the 'just like a woman' type jokes, maybe?
