Iran is one of the most censored countries in the world. From 2021, even female cartoon characters broadcast on Iranian television have to wear hijab as "it is a necessity to observe tradition even in the world of animation because it can avoid dangerous consequences" said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reflecting on the dangerous influence produced by cartoon heroines about young Iranians.
