> It's disgusting to claim that Western "Cartoons" fall under a "rough set of same humor or writers".

There's a grain of truth here. A huge grain. The US comics were long stunted by the Comics Code of 1954: http://www.mit.edu/activities/safe/labeling/comics-code-1954

It had been revised a bunch of times, but arguably it went away only in early 2000-s. Mostly because of the anime/manga influence.

Did that code even apply to cartoons? I thought it didn't.

It didn't apply directly, but a lot of cartoons used comics for the source material. And even without that, Hollywood had to worry about ratings, and that resulted in similar restrictions.
