Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

I can't wait for Latino Appreciation Date and see a little gay ass drawing of all the IPs that Warner financed through special funds and cut at one season just to be reminded that they are unironically more Spaniard and Filipino made than truly made south of the border.
All around me I see wasted potential.
Lets see, for Latino reps CN has:
  • Generator Rex
  • Victor & Valentino
  • Edwardo (Foster's)
  • Ice King/Simon? (Adventure Time)
  • Jessic Cruz (DCSHG)
  • Velma (Scoob 2020)
  • Mucha Lucha
  • Blue Beetle (Brave & The Bold / Young Justice)
  • Alejandro (Total Drama)
They are obviously not going to allow Speedy.

It's probably obvious that CN don't want Flea from Mucha Lucha :sigh:
 
Probably because he's "not black" and also the pilot references sonichu which is a nono.
It's funny how sonichu and by extension Chris was becoming so "mainstream" right up until barbgate you not only saw references like that ok ko one but also a reference in paradise pd of all things... ot to mention smiling friends was THIS close to have Chris voice a grease puddle on tye show. Even though he'd only have like like less than 10 lines and nothing else to do with the episode.

There's also Jonesy Garcia from 6teen, and he's also part-Filipino, if CN wanted extra points in terms of representation.

CWC ended up not getting the part once he was arrested in late-July 2021, with Zach's closest friend Harry Partridge to end up replacing him at the last minute
 
How in the hell is this supposed to be Strawberry Shortcake?
At first it seems like an updated take on the cheesy, formula of the 1980s saccharine sweet cartoons like strawberry shortcake, cabbage patch kids, and the smurfs. Shortcake starts a business selling baked goods mean Ole purple pie man wants to run her out of business thinking he's a better baker and a better salesman, shortcake makes friends with other berry people running business in town. The catch is it was only a few episodes in they sprung things like the little brown lime one being raised by two fudge packers or the troon berry complete with troon color clothes.

And you know there's another thing that bugs me about this show just how old are shortcake and her friends supposed to be? They're designed like children and live with parents or gaurdians, and yet instead of school they have full time jobs running food trucks which the are seen driving, and and aside living with parental figures don't need adult supervision...in what is essentially an idealized version of new york.

Except CN didn't create 6teen they just aquirred the us distribution license from teletoon. Iircc 6teen was one of those rare shows that saw airtime on both cn and nickelodeon. Nickelodeon In the mid 2000s then it was on cartoon network after they saw what a hit total drama island was hoped to do the same thing with 6teen.

And who can forget Mark the Tapir from Sonic Boom?

Really? I thought the reason was cause the only way to record his lines would be to fly him out to Williams Street studios and compensate him for his time recording in studio. Guess ocams razor applies the simple solution being the most likely one.
 
>Ice King/Simon
>Simon "Petrikov"
Nigga that's a full blown slav prof.
There was an old Tumblr post that questioned his race and believed him to be half Mexican, half Russian because he apparently follows Mexican traditions. He serves tortillas at his potluck, makes cascarons, then for the Russian side has dolls and the last name.

He is sort of ambiguously brown, but I can see CN pulling the "he makes tortillas so he Mexican" card.

I remember checking this gal's Tumblr out years ago, she actually makes some pretty damn good AT art for the most part.

The moment you can draw any AT character, you're already a very good AT artist.

After reading your reply, I decided to try drawing an AT-style sketch as a guy who never watches anything Frederator-related for almost a decade. Shading's ass, but it seems that I got everything from anatomy to faces right just from looking at some scenes in one-go, since it's basically spaghetti arms and legs and Frederator's pattern of a smiley face. (Well, I do drawing as a hobby, so that's kinda unfair)

EDIT: Decided to color it because why not?

Ah, I see this episode was storyboarded by Rebecca Sugar.


In all seriousness, that's really good! You've got the style down and I like the FNV setting.
 
Centaurworld got mogged too.
I heard seemingly non-astroturfed good reviews about it but the art style looked appalling.

E: To be fair, it IS three years old or so. Ouch.
I've watched centarworld and its alright.
its shit art style is done on purpose because
its susposed to represent two worlds. no im not fucking with you that's genuinely a big part of the plot.
its an interesting concept but to be honest the show needed a lot more polish. it had the potential but never got it.

also to tie in with shows including fan fiction, centarworld has an entire race dedicated to this phenomenon. its in the first ep of the second season but I can't be arsed to get screenshots.

That's also one main reason why. Otherwise, Harry Partridge ended up replacing him (albeit using his Chris Chan impression)
 
Plus, that era of X-Men gave us this
I say these shows (xmen 92 and spiderman 94) aren't perfect because...I admit they pushed a lot of envelopes and boundaries when it came to what could and couldn't be shown on TV back then. (wolverine and nightcrawlers argument on the nature of God and if there even is one alone took serious balls to pull off)

But they still had to censor a lot in both shows. Now that we live in an age where nobody gives a shit what gets put in animation thanks to the idiots writing this crap? Making sure a shape-shifters non binary pronouns are respected and showing minute long gay kisses in front of the viewers.


You have the power to show things writers 30 years ago had to jump through hoops to work around and you waste on bullshit. It honestly makes me feel conflicted about the idea of being for or against censorship and content control.
