The difference is it didn't feel forced, you can only make people behave with law enforcement or having them see it your way when they reach that conclusion themselves.
... it felt SUPER forced in the cartoons of the 80s and 90s. It's not really any different. Probably less ham-fisted now, if anything.
The only reason most of these things feel forced is because people are more perceptive and media literate now. It was always pretty corny. If anything I think it's better now.
There have always been shows and movies that do it better and less "into-the-face" than others.
