The Mysterious Mr. Enter / Jonathan Rozanski's "Growing Around" - IndieGoGo Campaign Failed, John going off the deep end, "Turning Red" is ignorant about 9/11 (later retracted)
Because when your typical crossdressing victim has turned into a girl, make the girl who turned into a boy wear dresses instead! LOFL.

"I decided to basically explore my perceived problems, and just... see what would happen."
Well, mission accomplished, for better or worse.
I could go over how creepy this comes off as, but I'm more put off about how nothing he wrote has anything to do with the main premise of the show. Am I fucking stupid or does this just seem like any cartoon about wacky kids that live in the same neighborhood? I genuinely had to double check just to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Yep. That's been a problem for years now; the ultimate double-edged sword in his writing approach. Whenever he doesn't follow his own premise, it defeats the purpose of the show, makes it "just another cartoon" (albeit with subversive moralizing) and everyone loses interest. When he does follow his own premise, it's creepy as fuck and no parent should want their child to see it.

I didn't wanna harp on Mr. Enter's editor Star Giant Productions too much but with a video titled "Life Tips" I just couldn't resist checking it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djodptEWbn4
I'm 5 minutes in and I had to stop when he brings up examples of people being assholes to him. He briefly mentions he had to block his dad on his phone because his dad claimed he (Star Giant) didn't care about him. I get the feeling we're not hearing the full story but he doesn't elaborate. Instead he tells a story about him visiting his brother and wanting to take all their school yearbooks with him. His brother told him he could take one but as he was leaving he snatched all the books and his brother tried to stop him and punched him a few times until he finally let go of the books. Because of this, Star Giant wants his brother to go to jail for five years. This guy has a skewed sense of the law and punishments btw. In one of his videos he argued it would only be fair for youtube to be fined 1 trillion dollars over COPPA and in every video since COPPA became a big thing he says it's illegal for people younger than 13 to watch youtube or have social media accounts.
That's 31 characters, 26 are introduced in this episode, and 28 have spoken lines.
Also wanted to mention how Linda was Autumn's old name so it gets confusing when reading and you think Linda is Autumn.

I recently read episode 2 and made a list of all the characters who appear in it.
Everyone has a spoken line unless otherwise noted and ones with an asterisk are characters who haven't shown up prior.

I don't know why Enter chose this guy to be his editor when you could pay a homeless person $20 to edit a 30 minute review and they'd probably do a better job. Maybe Star does it for free, or maybe Enter has a requirement that you have to be autistic to work for him.

Well it could be that Star is likely a complete yes man and someone who is a huge fan of Enter that Enter would rather have someone who'd kiss his ass work for him.

Could be the case. I'd have to watch more of Star's reviews to see how well his thoughts line up with Enter's but after seeing the one where he says Johnny Test is better than Dexter's Lab, I'm not touching those with a 10 foot pole. Honestly Star seems like a massive ticking time bomb. Depressed, suicidal, trans, dangerously autistic, odd outbursts about pedophilia to the point of accusing Dexter's Lab writers of being pedos. I wouldn't want someone like that working under me in any capacity.

Well it’s more of how much Star idolizes Enter to the point he considered working for Enter a dream job and probably being the only person to openly promote Growing Around to others.

From what I deciphered from his Lily Orchard video, there is some overlap, but he does have some unique opinions. He hates Family Guy like Enter does, but he said the Powerpuff Girls reboot is actually better than the original.
Add to those all the regulars introduced in the pilot. Off the top of my head: reporter girl, Sally's friends (April and Molly), and the lemonade staff (Anna, Niall, Shelley, Steven, and Anna's brother). And that's only 2 episodes in of the planned... 160, was it? Now, try to remember a character trait for each.
Having that creepy-as-all-fuck avatar feature in his videos from now on is too high a price to pay for a hugbox.

There's the Rarity ripoff, the Applejack ripoff, the Fluttershy ripoff... and Sally is sort of like Mabel from Gravity Falls. Also Autumn has depression but Enter doesn't seem to recognize this. Shane is the only sane person aaaaaand... that's all I got.

"But this is the first set of episodes! They're supposed to introduce as many characters as possible as quickly as possible!"
Um.... no. You're supposed to introduce your main characters quickly (in this case, the Dunn family,) but your secondaries need a little more room to breathe, lest your audience get overwhelmed with seemingly pointless details. Strangely enough, the "Party Panic" book did this better. Spend one chapter at school with Kimiko, spend another chapter at city hall with Talula, spend another chapter with April in her house, it's a reasonable pace that never feels like you're getting too much information at once. But with the show, Episode 1 has a surprise party that attempts to introduce all of Sally and Max's friends in one scene, and Episode 2 attempts to introduce Robert and Autumn's entire class in one go. Yeah, these are all large groups of people that make sense to be together from the beginning, but a typical screenwriter would keep them as background characters and not give them any dialogue until they're significantly relevant to the story.
Mr. E, I get your inspiration, but this isn't "Danganronpa." None of your cast is at risk of being killed off at any moment (at least, I hope), so nobody's gonna be suspicious if a background character isn't introduced and fully fleshed out as soon as they're on screen.
I could go over how creepy this comes off as, but I'm more put off about how nothing he wrote has anything to do with the main premise of the show.

You’re expecting a guy who knows nothing about having a job and nothing about being a kid to write about being a kid who has a job. The premise exists solely to have the slavery elements
I haven't watched the second part of the Lily Orchard video, but I did decide to watch Ryan's video he made about his cyberstalker, who is also Enter's cyberstalker, named Alicia. I've been growing increasingly interested in his content lately, but then again I just like a good lolcow. This has a lot more insight on Enter than the Lily Orchard video does, and for good reason. I'm pretty sure that his "being cyberstalked is worse than being raped" comment was posted earlier, so I'll post other highlights of it.
He still talks a lot about Lily in places that really do not need it.
Ryan edited all of Nick-O-Rama. He mentions that he saw comments about people saying it sucked, which he says that he 'doesn't know if it sucked'.
In the irony to end all ironies, he says that the biggest issue with Nick-O-Rama was that it was rushed.
He directly says that the new Animated Atrocities episode came out so late was because of this drama.
Ryan believes that Crimson stopped editing because of Alicia.
Ryan is officially female now, named Rebecca. He's still Ryan in my heart, dammit.
With this in mind, he shows his face at the time at the end of the video. Guy still has a full mustache.
He brings up that he considered quitting editing because of Enter, and compared his situation to Etika. Never mind the dozens of other circumstances in Etika's mess.
Ryan thinks he should get Chris Hansen on this case, while earlier in the video, says that he doesn't believe Alicia is a pedo.
And most importantly of all:
He mentions that he knows what Alicia looks like because of the image she posted on Kiwi Farms. Not that she sent it to him, he namedrops the site.
