Cartoon Industry thread - Showcasing the Spergery of the Animation Industry

[Outer Space Traveller]

... Reading these tweets genuinely pissed me off, I almost want to sperg and fish for tophats... but I won't.

What I will say is that I hate that I can kinda understand the mentality... but why? Just why? I thought the point of those PSA videos were to convince a normal person (like a parent or a single adult that feels nostalgic towards old cartoons) about how animation is important and how absolutely terrible the current industry is... how art of your characters being gay gonna help that? Are you tyring to grab the attention of the terminally online manchildren and tumblrina girls? They already know the industry is garbage. They don't need convincing. How are they gonna help your cause? That adults are also interested in cartoons made for children? Give me a break...

Anyway, here's a toss that I found somewhat relevant:

These people aren't serious - they just find something about slacktivism and suddenly "hey look, now we have fucking faggotry and sodomy too, now we're definitely gaining traction". This is Spic Fuentes-tier of faggotry too, of "nothing ever happens".

If someone wanted to try to do something, they should aspire to be professional, and be OUTSIDE the internet. If someone begins with campaigns on "here, have a funny maymay I did of your campaign", shut it down. Show you are serious. Not to be a buzzkill, but look at what fucking happens.

EDIT: In case I failed to convey a proper message - what I tried to say is... I used an example of a failure of a political movement to give what a potential movement of grassroots "save cartoons" one could have been. But it shows people are latching into it just to share their own fetishes, likings or "signal boost" to say they have done their part. Not to "put their own hand over the fire" so to speak.

These people just end up becoming the best arguments for why we need AI to take over and govern us for our own safety.

They would also be the ones who would make Hitler make a change in plans because he absolutely adored art and Disney movies and he'd be horrified at what has become of it.

So hasn't anyone commented on how Lily Simpson did a rant on transphobia in cartoons... And chose Family Guy out of all cartoons.

Family Guy has lost its charm long ago, so it's old news. Don't hold it to any standards.

It’s compelling proof that there really is an immutable natural order that governs the universe.

When you’re this chaotic evil, (and stupid), you’re going to make enemies of literally everyone and inevitably get felted hard

I think these guys are right that indie animation is very expensive, you need to spend a lot of money to get a decent crew and make a show regularly even with the crap tweened animation most western stuff has, plus the voice acting and editing. Working in an indie crew is a risk for everybody involved. But the supposed protest they're doing is just retarded and hard to take seriously. Instead of clear solutions and a legal or financial proposal they just want to LARP as a revolutionaries for a raise. There definitely has to be a far more civilized and less embarassing way to discussing a salary improvent than pushing hashtags and asking the general public to vaguely "support".

Not to mention their absence of talent and creativity.

If the animation guild was even remotely based they'd set fire to someone's office. All western "activists" know is hashtag, draw gay porn, masturbate, and cry

You can't exactly set fire to the shitty scripts that *YOU* wrote!

You realize they are like patient zero for “violence is never the answer” shit right? Half of them are fucking pussies, the other half is gay retards who hold conflicting views on the states monopoly on violence.

Violence is not the answer, it’s an option and a very efficient option at times. It’s why the US government bombed miners in West Virginia and why the Battle of Athens was so based.

Yet, when their jobs get outsourced or replaced by A.I., they end up turning into the resistance that ends up having their cabal being infiltrated with predators and minorities that “cancel” each other every 30 seconds for minor grievances that have nothing to do with making cartoons about their barely disguised fetishes.

I'm not watching this shit, but I do remember trannies actually liking the way family guy portrayed them back around 2014.

If the french are anything to go by, destroying property doesn't do shit either. If they were smart they would be convincing shareholders that shitcanning/tax exempting projects is costing them more money then they are savings. They could even use the Coyote vs ACME film as an example since its a finished project that could be making them money, but instead was never released to the public. These people are all just nepobabies though and can't fathom trying to argue for themselves business wise.

Any western activist born after 1993 can't cook, all they know is McDonald's, gay porn, twerk, masturbate, eat hot chip and lie.

The cartoon reviewing community is dogpiling on A.S.K. Air for saying the main girl in the Fairly oddparents is basically just a race-swapped timmy and ranting about "WOOOOWWWWWW RACISSSSMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!" And going on their usual excrement about how the cartoons were racist and it was good people like Mike Henry and Alison Brie stepped down from their roles and made a deal over this cause..........they're just programmed to do it. Saying he didn't see characters like cyborg, static shock, and gerald from hey arnold as characters to like SPECIFICALLY cause they're black, he just liked them for being well written characters also got a bitchfit from them, because....predictable answer. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ekuoVmcgDBA&pp=ygUlRmFpcmx5IG9kZHBhcmVudHMgcmVib290IHJhY2Vzd2FwcGluZw==

Comments on his website harping and going at him for revealing his "tRuE rAcIsT bEhAvIoR"!

That literally should be the norm on how people should view characters. Their labels are second, their characteristics are first. But people are desperate for representation, and would always talk so much about the character's race more than the character itself. You can appreciate your race, ethnic group, or sexual orientation that only 0.2% of the world posses, but when it's all you care about and literally can't live without if a character isn't some flavor of marginalized. There's a reason these sort of people complain when there's an "all white cast" or just "all whites" generally cause remember, its illegal for a group or a game to have all white people in it.

I'm not really complaining about the new character in the spinoff series. I see her as more of a new character than a raceswap. But I'm not gonna vilify the guy because of it. If that's how he sees it, that's how he sees it. If she was a raceswap, she would have similar characteristics to Timmy, but she doesn't. She's an actual original character with her personality, faults, and goals. It's a bit strange for him to proclaim its a raceswap but does that make him racist? Not in the slightest. It's just the usual cartoon community crowd just jumping on anyone and not even bothering to at least understand what he's trying to talk about. What happened to agreeing to disagree??

Yep, cause he made that one blip in calling her that, they're ranting. Like come on with the stanning, he doesn't hate black people by automatically saying that. Just running on because she's a black girl and not quality of her writing and conveyance.

Shit reminds me how badly Bronies ruined the Internet. I am fully convinced tranny nonsense in the cartoon review community about western animation collapsing by pandering to adults can be blamed on the MLP fandom. Even college humor spot on how adults talk in cartoons meant for toddlers 10 plus years ago. Yes, including Bronies being proud of challenging gender roles. Bronies happened than we gotten tumblr trannies afterwards.

Yes and no. Bronies technically came from 4Chan while Steven Universe and everything that followed can be traced back to Tumblr specifically. I'd at least say they're two sides of the same coin, since in the early 2010s quite a lot of people had a shared online pressence between 4Chan, Tumblr, and even SA. Gamergate was arguably the point where the lines in the sand began to be drawn and 4Chan's influence on Internet culture began to slip away.

What website is "SA?"

Something Awful.

I admittedly haven't seen the new show but I thought it was funny and kinda lazy how she has such similar teeth to Timmy's. That alone makes her kinda resemble him when character designs in Fairly Oddparents in general were all over the place.
