Cartoon Industry thread - Showcasing the Spergery of the Animation Industry

I'm brutally confused because the tweet says those are supposed to be apples...? It looks as if it became an excuse to draw this character (which I'm dreading to find out is a child I looked it up and yeah, it's a little boy) with a sexualized bubble butt that looks nothing like apples.
tbf nothing in Calarts crap looks like anything but inoffensive round blobs. I'm not seeing the "sexualized" part, but maybe that's just me.
 
"Lol funny butt gag" isn't anything new in cartoons, for sure, but it's definitely a first that someone's practically come out to admit it's a deliberate fetish. As if it wasn't already obvious it's been a fucking fetish the last 15 years.
A lot of older cartoons did weird sex shit with kids, babies in the case of Stewie from Family Guy. The difference is that those people didn't have "Protects Trans Kids" in their twitter bio and porn addiction wasn't a widespread problem yet so it's a lot easier to just chalk it up to them just trying to be goofy.
 
It's more that the artist admits it's sexual for him and not a funny kids show butt joke.
Did I miss something?? Where'd he say it? (I'm not doubting he said it, I'm just retarded and can't read today apparently)

Yeah, it was mostly Russia's fault to be honest.
 
So far I think this is the closest thing to an explanation to that. I'm sure it has been mentioned somewhere in this thread but I'll leave it here anyways
Yep, someone else did mention how this source, however, drew or draws underage boys with women or something (straight shota). Still, if the information is credible, it is. And I think it was on Western Animation thread.

On one hand, >(((Jon Stewart))), on the other, I totally buy the theory that Russia invaded Pookraine cuz they saw Biden's leadership as weak/incompetent and thought they could get away with it in a way they couldn't have under Trump's presidency.

Even then, it's a huge fucking stretch to say it was the America's fault, as if Russia had no choice on the matter. Yeah, you're being an idiot if you leave your door unlocked and your big living room TV is stolen, but the thief is still to blame for breaking in stealing it.

Although I suppose that's just how people think these days. Fuck someone having full responsibility, it's gotta be shared between all the parties to a situation no matter how outlandish the excuse is. "Okay, I was grooming that kid but they were very receptive, you know?" and other shit we keep hearing about.
 
I think this theory is legit. Been seeing it a bunch recently where people with transgender flags and anime pfps are harassing women and talking about rape. It's a pretty uncharacteristic pattern of behavior.
No that seems pretty on-brand for those groups to me.

Edit:
Anyone who thinks modern prisons are in any way comparable to chattel slavery needs to be forced to work their fingers raw and bleeding in an Alabama summer while an angry gorilla whips them when they don't work fast enough. These are the same people who cry racism if you shoot a rapist dead in your own home after you caught him in the act.
 

The X-Men have always been gay. They were gay when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby first created this team of persecuted misfits in 1963.
Gays just know how to do stuff, and that includes exploring their queerness before they even realize they’re queer themselves. It’s why 8-year-old me used to stare at underwear packaging a little bit longer than the average boy, and it’s also why “X-Men: The Animated Series” spoke to me on a deeper level than other cartoons ever could, even if I didn’t yet have the words or knowledge to fully understand why.
When it came to acting out every pose in the opening credits — something I absolutely did not do and will sue you for even bringing up, how dare you?! — baby gays like me drew more strength from channeling Storm, Rogue, and Jean than any of the guys. It’s like when gays always choose female characters to play in video games. It’s just a thing.
What started out as an (incomplete) analogue for the civil rights movement has since resonated with practically anyone who has been discriminated against. That’s the beauty of this concept. It applies just as much to those who have been persecuted on religious grounds as those who are ostracized for being queer or trans or for being different in any other way that’s perceived as “unwanted” by the so-called majority. The spandex helps too, of course, but that’s true for all superheroes. What makes the X-Men stand out is how they lift each other up and support one another because of this bond they all share. They’re not cops or co-workers like the Avengers, and they’re not biologically related like the Fantastic Four are either. They’re a found family who accept each other when no one else will, and that rings true for queer people everywhere, no matter where we might be on our own personal journeys.
To see my favorite heroes find some measure of happiness after struggling for so long is incredibly healing for queer kids like me who didn’t feel like they belonged back when the show first aired. But belong we do, because we are what? Homo Superior.

“I, too, like rewriting history since the world does not revolve around me. That’s why I think it’s absolutely important to make my sexuality a personality trait with no redeeming or defining features and attach myself to a cartoon to make myself feel valid and wholesome and definitely not make cases as to why I should have stayed in the closet all this time after writing useless articles like these in my spare time.”
