Dicska@lemmy.world 7 hours agoThe amount of childhood trauma inflicted upon gen-x by “children’s media”
I would love to link the English version of the article, but it doesn’t exist. I guess page auto-translation might work, but: back when I was a kid, the quite popular Duck Tales got interrupted due to the death of the prime minister of the time. One minute you were watching uncle Scrooge, the other it was a bunch of people carrying a coffin.

I don’t think you truly understood the importance of the sacrifice of what that cartoon was trying to teach you, despite it being right there in the song lyrics:
“Everyday, they’re out there making Ducktales”
Every day. These guys are just out in that unforgiving world, busting their asses trying to make these duck tales for you, and no one appreciates it.
Perhaps your prime minister dying was the only way for you to truly grasp the sheer seriousness of the sacrifice being made for you when you watched that show.
