The Tumblr Files - Official Thread (Case I: Steven Universe) - An exposé on the media and people that destroyed the Internet

[AnsemSoD1]

Steven Universe was practically grounds zero for all of the Owl House/Amphibia style Cal-Arts pagan mega-faggotry in children's entertainment these days.

It is very bizarre how normalized some things have become. I ask myself 'Why' more often.

Minor thing I've noticed are rules. Forums, game servers, personal discords, all have substantial lists of rules to follow; often these lists are repetitious as they'll list different forms of bigotry instead of bigotry as a whole, for instance. Compound this with a litany of administration levels resembling a kind of Indian caste system...

You know, speaking of Indians, I read a comment here once mentioning that they have influenced internet culture. This perpetual cycle of people shitting on one another as a social expectation. I wrack my mind thinking we have all become so hateful because of this homogeneity and we are not even aware.

I pull back the curtain and what do I see?
The eternal jeet, staring at me.

Not quite, now that i think about it knowing all the info, it was the result of a series of decisions that snowballed into the shitshow we have today, we can tell that everything began in the late 2000s when most tv channels started doing these projects and initiatives like the Cartoonstitute in order to find new talent that could bring the next big thing , the flood gates where open , that's when adventure time was created which was the true ground zero , with steven Universe, SVTFOE, Gravity Falls and all the other tumblr like cartoons being the mutations from the leftover radiation , but we also got some good shit from this like Regular Time

If you know your stuff, you'd know Adventure Time started out as a rejected Nick pilot. It wasn't a part of the Cartoonstitue, but Regular Show was. Then you also have to facter in that a lot of the showrunners that would grow to prominence in the 2010s (Pendleton Ward, Hirsch, J.G. Quintel) actually all cut their teeth working on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. Meaning they all went to College around the same time, and thus are a part of a similar generation.

That's what i said when i mentioned "most tv channels" and "projects and initiatives like the Cartoonstitue", you must be aware that SVTFOE began as an unmade pilot for the forementioned Cartoonstitue the same way Adventure time did on the Nicktoons premium channel, all I'm trying to say is that all began in the same timespan of 2007-2010

I actually like Gravity Falls, but its impact on the cartoon industry had the same bad effect that Shrek did on the animated film industry.

Rejoice, because Case III has officially begun development.

Good luck in your writing!

Yes, but MLP I don't think was pozzed from the word "go" for a good few years. At least I didn't hear about stuff like that for years having not been in the fandom to begin with.

"Clopping" was probably a thing by 2011, though, so...

Bronies were always brain-broken from day one, but as far as relevance with socio-politics is concerned, I suppose it's true that MLP wasn't exactly intertwined with that stuff for the first few years after 2011 (at least that's what I think you're getting at here).

UnseenJapan also is pro-localizer as in he's 100% on board with faggot localizers changing the original creator's work to fit the translator's personal agenda.

UnseenJapan is pretty hilarious as far as parasitical American libshits are concerned. He only has a limited grasp of Japanese, and I think he only resided in Japan proper for a few years (a friend of mine told me he got deported, but I could be wrong).

YTP will forever be funny. I'm honestly surprised it was even mentioned in this thread, because it was, for the most part, completely apolitical and was seemingly untouched by the woke cancer spreading throughout the internet.

At least that's how it appeared to be, YouChew was obviously different, but I never paid attention to YouChew.

The OG YTP scene, circa 2007-2012 - and unrelated to YouChew and it's "YTP community" faggotry - was definitely apolitical and mostly untouched by woke cancer. Alas, nothing lasts forever, and it eventually succumbed to the cancerous tumor, but it wasn't for lack of resisting (pretty much all of the scenegoers moved on to actual careers, for instance).

Pretty much - and honestly, I thought YouChew = YTP. I guess there's a difference. I can't even believe there are people who think YTP "needs" to be political, while for the most part it used mashup with media like Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Super Mario Brothers Super Show, Billy Mays commercials, and other things in general.

I don't blame you for thinking that, but frankly speaking, YouChew had very little to nothing to do with YTP in the grand scheme of things. Their interest in the fad only went as far as using it as an emotional crutch (i.e "Youtube poop IS ART!"), or as an emotional battering ram (i.e. "Youtube Poops should be MORE INCLUSIVE!"). Youchewers are deranged creatures all around, and even after their forum closed in 2018, they keep making succesor groups to continue their perpetual psychosis.

So, I'm expecting Case III to be longer than Case I, but shorter than Case II. If it gets to be as long as Case II, I'd honestly be a bit flabbergasted, especially give how short Case I would be in comparison.

 

[I_Am_Not_Bruce_Willis]

>Case I was 8 pages and 4842 words.
>Case III is currently up to 3770 words and it's only 1/3rd of the way done.

Part of the trouble with working on the Tumblr Files is that sometimes I'm doing research and out of the blue, I accidentally stumble into a rabbit hole and get sidetracked for a bit. Given the "topic" of Case III, this has happened quite a few times. Some of the things I am covering in Case III actually warrant further investigation, but mainly for their own dedicated threads if the opportunity ever arises.

Part of the reason I even made this its own thread instead of posting elsewhere is so other Kiwis can contribute their own research and pick up on anything major I might have missed, or look further into some of those aforementioned loose ends.

Either way, Case III is coming along nicely. I'm almost at the part where I can just "wing it" based on my own personal experiences.

You stumble into holes, huh?

You gotta tell us a few subjects you are NOT covering if you want others to do research. I don't mind surprise topics, but why write a whole thing on MLP if you are already doing it yourself? Post something you're not doing and people can tackle it.

One thing I actually did a fair bit of research on recently was the merchandise site, FanGamer, and their origins. I decided to briefly look into Ashley Davis, one of FanGamer's artists, known for the Tumblr blog "nomarios", as well as being a major progenitor of the "CalArts" style. Turns out, Ashley Davis once had connections to Anthony Burch, a former Destructoid writer and major figure in GamerGate. Anthony's sister, Ashly Burch, is a voice actor for various shows and games, such as voicing Aloy from Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Not only that, but Davis also collaborated with a fair amount of other artists on Namco High, a browser based visual novel developed by ShiftyLook (I would love to do a history/write-up on them at some point):

Not only was Andrew Hussie the lead on the project, but some of the artists on the project include the likes of Davis, JN Wiedle, Gigi D.G., OMOCAT, TYSON HESSE, and even NOEL ND STEVENSON. On top of all that, one of the main team members of ShiftyLook during its heyday was Ash Paulsen of GameXplain fame.

This is the kind of stuff that's worth a separate deep dive outside the main cases, and I would love to look into it at some point.

Wonderful thread @I_Am_Not_Bruce_Willis
In art colleges during the 2000s the cal arts style became quite popular because of its accsessability it was simple to draw only in vectors and use noodle arms because anatomy takes time,
the big heads were a perfect example of the laziness this style is notorious for, give alot of space for mouths so you don’t have to animate the chin moving

It’s pretty clear that the LGBTQIAPEDO community’s tendency to latch so hard on anything that features gay content or gay representation started with Steven.

Have to disagree with this one. The tendency to latch on to things with gay content has ALWAYS been part of the LGBTQIAPEDO community, ever since it started to emerge as a distinct identity and community (and probably even earlier).

Prior to the 2010s, it was things like nightclubs, musical theater, and a wide variety of pop culture, like "gay icon" female singers or swords & sandals films, particularly "campy" retro media, which means otherwise normal art and entertainment that would be subverted with (in most cases probably unintentional) gay readings, such as Batman being reimagined as a Robin-diddling pedo. Hell, at one point, Early Modern fags were obsessed with the Catholic Saint Sebastian, because he was buff and he got poked by arrows. It was common for mincing homosexuals of the 20th century to see themselves in Judy Garland or Liza Minnelli, for example, and from then on, belting out showtunes would be tied to their sense of self, and their need to reinforce this sense of self through representation.


Current Year Queers haven't really changed this pattern of self-absorption and preference for media that makes their fetishes the center of attention; rather, Queers became mainstreamed, even dominant, in upper-middle class shitlib society, and since the 2010s what we've been seeing is not a change in behavior started by Steven Universe, but old fringe deviant behavior becoming the "new normal" in media produced by the increasingly detached and insane liberal/Marxist caste.

I've always had a burning question about who or what is Toby Fox?, We know that the thing that catapulted him to fame was the very edgy Halloween Hack, that he has always been a close collaborator of Andrew Hussie , that he also has a talent for getting with important people on high places, and that he was the catalyst for the miriad of Mother clones that took off with Undertale, does he has the typical edgelord past being a 4chan anon or soa goon?

One thing I've been looking for is the source of this image. I haven't been able to find any references other than a few Tumblr posts that dug it up, so my bets are on the MSPA forums (which are currently closed).
