GI Joe being a SJW/DEI (called POLITICALLY CORRECT pre-10s) property since the 80s (arguably the 70s when they moved away from the war theme) has been the butt of PC jokes just as long. So
>>10968159 was missing the entire culture and context of the series, thinking DEI somehow ruined the GI Joe series, when it's been a SJW series all along.
Everyone who isn't a newfag recognizes this and has enjoyed it for what it is, despite the overt SJW ethos. 80s cartoons in general were full of these "parent group" mandates, btw.
"Parent groups" being an ironic title, since they were mostly childless assholes trying to "fix" cartoons for children. It was largely seen as a Christian cause, but that might have been a bandwagon technique, because Christians were a larger demographic back then and those manipulating assholes needed support.
Personally, i hate the cartoon because it's retarded shit and even as a kid i recognized it as retarded shit. Cool as fuck imagery though, so i eventually got around to reading the comic books were a hundred million times better.
Also, i think the overt nature of those retarded PC cartoons, their reputation damaged everyone who ever watched those cartoons' view of PC causes. As soon as we see GIRLS GET IT DONE and BLACK/NATIVE AMERICAN main characters, we're groaning thanks to over a decade of shitty cartoons teaching us that PC/SJW shit are lame as fuck. That conditioning is hard to revert.
If those cartoons were actually written well, it might have been a different tale.
