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

Its strange how, if a modern cartoon has a male character get even slightly scummy with a female character, it's "woke demonization of males". Yet certain 80s girl cartoons would depict 99% of male characters as either filthy cheaters or borderline sexual predators and its "what? That cartoon was my childhood, what's wrong with it?".

Oh some idiot got his fee-fees hurt by a statement of fact. Your tears are yummy. Your sorry ass can't even explain why old media is immune from the woke label, can you?
I think some old stuff gets too much of a pass, but woke propaganda is a specific accumulation of spiteful intersectional Marxism spurned on by omnipresent social media in an environment that did not really exist before the 2010s.
 
I can't even think of one. A more logical complaint would be guys being weird/goofy or hot and nice, but I can't think of any cartoon from any era where men are mostly cheaters or sexual predators.
The closest you might have is Pepe Lepew as a predator but part of the joke was how oblivious he was - and more than a few of the cartoons ended in a reversal where the cat then pursued him.

Ironically the most recent "cheater" in animation would be Nancy Gribble from King of the Hill - a woman.

There are similar concepts in Breezy from Adventure time and Roadside Attraction from Gravity Falls, but neither are a girls show plus both episodes are hated by the fanbase.

Why are we talking about cartoon cheaters again?

Even as a kid I didn't understand why Mac liked Bloo or would visit every day to make sure they remain friends. Bloo was such an unlikable little shit.
Mac needed someone to work with him to help him get back against Terrence. Bloo incites or used to incite Mac's desire to stand up for himself. But with no Terrence, Bloo is just a rebel without a cause or a literal pain in the ass. Terrence also doesn't pick on Mac as much cause he has an army of imaginary friends to fuck him up if need be.

How the poor bastard has been demonized and cancelled since the 2010s is hilarious and sad, as he's pretty much doomed to never have another appearance again, barring memberberries.

Such a shame.
 
Name three cartoons
Rio from Jem and the Holograms was a shitass.
He's dating Jerrica, but basically cheats on her with Jem (her alter-ego that he doesn't know is the same person,) starts cheating on both of them with a third persona Jerrica makes for an episode in the third season to see if Rio would cheat (yeah everyone sucks there) and the entire series he's a pouty bitch about everything. Jerrica gets kidnapped in one episode and he's all moody that his girlfriend hasn't talked to him all day...while he excused himself to work on something all day long and refused to spend time with her (which could've prevented the kidnapping.) He throws tantrums when Jerrica can't trust him because he throws tantrums, he scolds Kimber for booking two dates on the same day when that's literally not even as bad as what he does EVERY EPISODE HE'S IN.
I didn't watch any other Sunbow cartoons so maybe there are shitty boyfriends in Transformers, GI Joe, and MLP too.
 
Oh god.

My honest reaction after wasting a minute and ten seconds of my life watching that.

Just watch the 1954 animated adaptation. Or read the damn book.
Sometimes, all you need is a book.

Also, does fucking Seth Rogen need to be everywhere? And damn, Kieran Culkin, it has been a while since I saw one of the siblings of Macaulay around. The work I know him best in is "It Runs in the Family" or "My Summer Story", the sequel to "A Christmas Story".

See, if Clay was cheating on his wife with women only, he would get shitpiled to death, while his troubled childhood background ignored. But since he turned out to be a sad gay man trapped in a marriage with a yucky woman (eeew) because of da evil christian trad values, he is now a wacky bad boy who is just so tragic and redeemable.
 
So I loaded up xitter this morning to harvest some fresh cawntent and well fuck my day is already ruined

Seems the trailer dropped on this thread a while back with a prediction that the anti-stalinist message will be mutilated...
I just found out another Animal Farm animated adaption is coming soon. Modern writers will certainly mutilate the anti-Stalinist message, and Seth Rogen as Napoleon is a disaster lying in wait (Wallace Shawn would have been ideal)

....and I am here to confirm from the clip that Seth Rogan plays Napoleon as a pig supremacist who tries to recruit the wholesome vague-socialist chungus original character protagonist pig into the nazi pig pipeline because fuck you fuck you fuck you FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

Oh yeah and its also a "well that happened..." comedy movie because FUCKING FUCK YOU
