How come nazis are depicted so frequently in the media of film, but almost never in cartoons?

We had plenty of Nazi portrayals until pretty recently, Arnold's Grandpa literally beat up Hitler on screen. Standards and practices have just become extremely gay since the 90s, you can't even portray them as incompetent or getting their asses beat anymore.

There are dozens of short subjects about WW2.

Spoken like someone who's never watched 40s Looney Tunes

Yeah, Captain Planet fought Hitler (Forma de FuManchu) back in the day, it's just that nowadays the faggots making cartoons are the "media literacy" crowd who think even mildly hinting at something bad means you support that thing 100% so you can't do it even as a joke

The Japanese made better heels than the Nazis for wartime cartoons.

Likely in adult animation more, cause they tend to be more counter-cultural.
National media broadcasters are more anal about portraying political ideologies or symbolism in many nations, or with FCC. I think if you do a 1-off villain of the week where the hero kick hitler or stalin's ass like a joke villain, if any broadcaster or nation has a problem with that episode, it's easier for the studio to shelve it in that nation and turn it into banned or lost media. If you do multiple episodes with major symbols, it's more likely objected nations would just ban the entire show outright, costing the studio more revenue than just striking 1 ep.
But that's just my theory.

Why, because they weren't white?

cartoons have historically taken a long time to animate and are fairly expensive, so unless you've got the war department buying that work from your company there's not much point because nazis never really stick around for long, what with being a bunch of fukken birds and all
