It's an interesting problem because the Addams Family sitcom from the 60s has a few racist jokes, but... it's from the 60s. And it was pretty woke for the time, compared to most contemporary media. And I don't think the racist jokes were mean-spirited the way Stonetoss' racism is. I know this is comic strips and the sitcom is TV, but it's an interesting thought exercise. Then there's Dilbert, which, wow, a lot to think about there. The comic engages in racist stereotypes about African nations, but doesn't use them to put down Africans, but the creator was MAGA, but the comic was anti-misogyny and he's dead... Dilbert is a fascinating case because I've no idea what My opinion is now that Scott Adams is dead. Lovecraft, I know I'm okay with because he died so long ago, everything he made is in the public domain and can therefore be reinterpreted however we please, even though the man himself was far, far more racist than Scot Adams. So it's wild. But I guess what I think I've talked Myself into believing is, how recently the creator died matters.
