Cartoon Industry thread - Showcasing the Spergery of the Animation Industry

He's Mexican-American actually, plus he's a very feminine looking dude.

This is feminine?

 

[Chromeo]

Cautiously optimistic about it but, whatever. At least it'll be fully faithful to the story and respecting the many potential Christians who might want to check it out.

Right?

I'm also cautiously optimistic. It looks stylish, Clicker was really good, and MAYBE it'll be accurate without being cringe. I'm scared of "queer inclusion," though, I really hope they don't try to pair Jesus romantically with anyone or reduce an integral Bible figure to nothing more than a swishy homo for Social Justice reasons.

Looks like a pooner, tbh.

I thought it was cute although the third season was middling.
And, yeah. It's not realy a scary story.

Very good, I should give it a try. Thank you!

I think at most it will play into a mild homoerotic type thing that various media does with Jesus and Judas. Think Jesus Christ Superstar for example.
I'm eager to see this come out. Not everything with anthro animals has to be bad or cringe. At the very least the art style is a breath of fresh air compared to all the bean mouth crap. I've noticed there's been a rise in Christian media lately. An animated movie about the crucifixion just came out last weekend called King of Kings.

The fact it has "anthropomorphic media" is already lulzworthy, since it doesn't seem to be taking itself too seriously.

Spoiler: Spergery that likely belongs more in general Christian thread than here

Animals were always a major part of storytelling throughout history, including Christian art. Although traditionally this is called "animalism" as an art genre in general and, in case with religion, "zoomorphism" or "beast/animal style". Zoomorphism kind of goes hand in hand with antropomorphism, the latter is about making animals human-like; the former is the other way round, make humans animal-like. In case with Christianity, anthropo-/zoomorphism is also about attributing human/animal traits to God.

The Bible itself has lots of zoomorphism in it. Holy Spirit has been said to descend "like a dove". Yahweh is compared to a lion and an eagle. Jesus is also compared to a lion, also a lamb, and in the book of Matthew he even compares himself to a mother chicken. Mark the Evangelist is often depicted as a lion in iconography, John as an eagle, and Luke as a bull. "Be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." Book of Hosea compares Yahweh to a mother bear and a lioness. That's from the top of my head, and not mentioning that evil forces are also contextually zoomorphisized (aforementioned lion and serpent refer to Satan.)

Also, referring to images I have posted above, while it's clearly seems to be a legend and these people never literally had dog heads, stories about cynocephalus were really common back then and the first image I have attached is an icon of two Coptic Orthodox saints, Ahrakas and Augani, who were described as having dog heads. So, uh. In a way, there are (kind of) literal furry saints.

One interesting thing about such art is that how animals have largely vanished from Christian art around the Renaissance era, when European culture started to slowly shift towards catering to human ego. I know animal rights is a new concept, but I wonder how much empathy people in general had towards animals before. Although we know that at the very least, pets were beloved and cherished by humans throughout history. Another thought that just popped in my mind, this general shift in removing animals from art might symbolize people "detaching" themselves from other creation. I mean, think about it, we are, in fact, dissociated from nature and strive to dissociate from it even further through transhumanism and other means of messing up our planet and ourselves, along with affecting innocent animals who aren't responsible for our sin in the first place.
And another side note to the side note, therians/otherkin and some furries as subcultures might be fueling this dissociation even further by coming for a counterfeit kinship with animals and nature. Many of them overlap with neopagans and share these beliefs, and I'm thinking now that the actual non-counterfeit version of that universal unity with nature and the universe can only come when you identify, accept, and glorify the one creator behind it all, aka God.

TL;DR: Animal art is God-pleasing, period.

What actually shows that they don't take themselves seriously is the toxic yaoiz trope and the creator supporting it despite saying:

The goal of this project is to illuminate this text for both a religious and non-religious audience,

Damn, I don't know. Don't blaspheme then? Is it really that hard not to put this in your media? No, for real, how hard is it not to put absolutely random homoerotic content into a piece of media that isn't even about that?

I still want to give this film benefit of the doubt because the animation and the style are gorgeous and there's extreme deficit of good Christian media, especially animated. I don't know any good Christian animation other than Prince of Egypt and Joseph: King of Dreams, although the second one is a bit worse since it's direct-to-video prequel to Prince of Egypt. Hopefully Judas Iscariot will encourage actual Christians to make something good in the future? I don't know. Hopefully the film, if it's about Judas' point of view, will go deeper into consequences of sin? I'm also hoping all this "queer" stuff is just a tasteless marketing campaign that a lot of creators seem to engage in nowadays, instead of being detached from their audience like it used to be during pre-social media era.



It's such a shame too. This image of Judas and Jesus hugging could have been read in a completely different, even powerful light, if it wasn't for this stupid comment. These types of people talk a lot about sexism and "toxic masculinity", but can't comprehend the idea that men can express love to other men without being gay, and in this case it's even more painfully cringy because the image can be easily read as God in the flesh that came to redeem everyone is forgiving and embracing even those who betray him. It's literally biblical anyway, Jesus loved Judas knowing well that he will betray him. Why make it gay? Just why.

I heard Angel Hare is supposed to be an "Anti Creepypasta", meaning it looks like a creepypasta, but it is the antithesis of it. Is it any "good"?

Angel Hare has affected me positively in the context of my faith. Take that as you will, it may not be for everyone though and it's not entirely biblical, but it's a nice story, without twisting religious aspects into something sinister (like in Mandela Catalogue).

Same reason they hijacked the rainbow.

 

[gata]

The same faggots who'll make fun of straight men who go no homo on their friendly gestures with their male friends (haha straight men are so hecking insecure about their sexuality). The same faggots that also view anything that has same sex friends platonically hugging or caring for each other as a sign of gayness.
fuck these hypocritical sex obsessed shitbags

 

[didelphigina]

The same people to call straight people boring because how dare they engage in normal things and not be into queer positive hyper fart scat kinks!? It's all a grift to make themselves feel special. It only makes the ones who don't tune their sexuality into an entire identity get lumped onto them further.

It's boring to be normal but it's super quirky and queer to talk about gay gay homosexual gay all the time! Being the very thing they complained about the straights being but justify it in their lens because being weird and super out of touch with society is all the rage in the 2020s now!

Two dudes and women can't be genuine friends without the fujoshi and yuri crowd ruining it all because despite they say they care for the characters, they only care about them if they can make as much AO3 fanfic shipping fodder with them until the end of time.

No. I found him on Twitter, and subsequently went to his channel.

Hope that answers your question. I urge you both to try the Gen X Hate series of video essays, followed by the Disney duology. In fact just watch his video essay series in chronological order. It's worth it.

Every single video he's made that wasn't a compilation or a rant is a banger. To be fair it's only been 14 videos but that only makes me more excited to see how far this streak can go. I cannot praise him enough.

Plus he regularly posts old school Looney Tunes cartoons on X. He basically introduced me to that style. Fricking epic!

Cheers! Thank you. I am having a hard time because if it were people from between 11th to 12th centuries, I could believe they would be honest about the animism. The problem is taking people of today and their damned "yaoi" crap. Enough with that, throw it on the damn Valley of Hinom to be exterminated.

I absolutely despise what Mandala Catalogue (yes, I spelled it wrong on purpose) did to Archangel Gabriel. He deserved better than that - but worse was calling Jesus the son of Joseph: that is spitting on Christianity all together, reddit tier atheism tactics. Do I have to say they have a page for Yahweh, as in, God?

Same reason they hijacked the rainbow.

The rainbow was a sign of peace up until the 1970s (based on God's promise to Noah to never flood the Earth again), when sodomites (who were called homosexuals of nowadays) began using it). Wikipedia claims it was "just on Italy", but no. Also notice how homos removed one color, making it 6 colours instead, as opposed to 7 - funny number.

 

[BIG SHOT Autos]

Interestingly enough, the original pride flag had 8 colors. Magenta dropped out due to the dye and fabric being expensive at the time and cyan merged with deep blue got replaced by just one single blue color. Also, shortly before his death, Gilbert Baker (the creator of the flag) added a 9th stripe to symbolize "diversity" as some sort of response to Trump's first election.

It is truly funny how the flag is constantly butchering the real rainbow though, indeed. While magenta not being a real color is a myth (I mean, all colors are a result of light perception and considering that we do perceive it, it's real), but there is no magenta wave on the light spectrum, so it's not present on the rainbow. The 9th stripe I mentioned is lavender, which is just pale violet, thus it already exists on the rainbow and is utterly pointless (as any of these "dunk on Trump" performative campaigns are.)

EDIT: What? Why?

Good to see you are learned on the """LGBTQIA+""" (That is, Let God Burn Them Quickly, In Agony Plus) lore. And that's true, it begins in Infrared, then goes all the way through Ultraviolet (colours we can't see).

As for the "Manda", that's news for me. Ha, I thought of using "Mandala" since some are "New Agers" and believe in that crap. But this fits much better. Twats, all of them.

They're also the same people who call normal gays "straight" (or "straight adjacent" or "living as straights", I don't fucking know) and who call straights who are into kink "queer" lmao. It's all about what gets them horny or gets them attention. The only reason they've latched onto homosexuality —whether they practice it or not. How many of these "queers" are just straights with extra steps?— is because it gets them both.

EDIT: What? Why?

Here's an article I skimmed where it points out several times lavender has been associated with gay people, particularly lesbians. I didn't know most of them. It fell out of fashion for a while, and while I'm not sure what brought it back, I strongly suspect it was Tumblr and this image going viral:

The association with Sappho is what gives it away, imho. Her and "sapphic" are used a lot in certain circles.

Also MAY GOD DAMN THIS PROJECT I thought the Judas film was interesting, and yet it's just another idiot degenerate-magnet. May King of Kings continue to overshadow it in the future.

 

[Ser Prize]

Why make it gay? Just why.

Gay has replaced all other things sacred to them. The secular new religion sees gay as good, inherently, so they seek to spread it everywhere.

They’re working on a Batman project for WB right now. The studio head/showrunner is this guy:

Not to be confused with some guy from Hollywood Vampires with the same name. He’s a Cal-Arts grad, but other than that I don’t know much.
Can anyone else confirm whether this is more of the same clique of creeps or is nature finally healing?
