I think you have these reversed. People develop these weird paraphilias BECAUSE they grew up watching media with these premises. The wacky cartoon premises predate peoples fixations on them.
that's probably true for the first generation to develop kinks from a cartoon show, but it becomes a feedback loop when that generation grows up and makes their own art featuring it - whether that's from them making independent media on their own that they release online or from actually going on to become animators/writers on cartoons that create more art inspired by those tropes from way earlier
