259 LGBTQ characters in cartoons that bust the myth that kids can't handle inclusion - "We're not gonna brainwash your kids", they said 10 years ago.

[CryoRevival #SJ-112]

the narrative they had planned warranted another season or so of more storytelling.

I haven't seen Steven Universe because even when she was writing for Adventure Time, I could not stand Rebecca Sugar's writing.

But everything I have heard about how the show was produced has told me that they did with 6 seasons a competent staff could do in 4 and still have a higher % of filler than western animation is entitled.

I downloaded a random episode of Steven Universe once. Pure shit, and just SHOUTING and RANDOM THING!!! all the time. No wonder kids are trooning out and claiming to be nonbinary at six.

This database is hilarious when you notice a lot of the gay characters listed are either villains or have a listed reason of "social media" aka headcanons.

 

[Santiago_Nasar]

i'm late and all but how the fuck is King Sombra bisexual?

 

[Dysnomia]

Heh, Entrapta.

And nothing about Starscream being gay? Seriously. SMDH.

They also missed Mr. Simmons from Hey Arnold who was gay (one episode shows him with his boyfriend, and it was kind of obvious given his mannerisms).

Also, shit list.

There's no way Starscream isn't gay for Megatron. That's a rivalry that can only be cured by some hot manbot on manbot CLANGCLANGCLANG if I've ever seen it.

Of course like every Nu-Ra and Steven Universe character is gay. Why would I ever think otherwise?

Why do the gems count? They are just female presenting for the most part, right? They are inorganic material. If I carve a rock into the shape of Homer Simpson it's still a rock. It's just male in appearance only.


Same with BMO. BMO is a machine. He doesn't even look like a person outside of the face on the screen. This is like 790 on Lexx. Only BMO is not a gender confused homicidal maniac who blows up Earth.

And how the hell is Gumball Waterson gay? He's so obviously in love with Penny. Since Penny can shapeshift after her shell breaks shouldn't she be trans?

Most of the cartoons listed are trash anyway. Some I've never even heard of. And tons are Calarts cancer. But I'm horrified about Bubble Guppies since it is for toddlers.

I can think of at least two of those SU characters on there that don't apply.

Funny because didn't King Sombra have a female love interest in the comics?

Wait they legit have Gumball listed as gay? OK now I know they are shitting themselves

Rose Quartz was married and had Steven. But I guess the gems somehow count because reasons. And Steven because he and Connie can fuse into that gendercreature. Xir's an experience.


So I was looking through Gumball episodes and there is an episode with a magic book called The Shippening. The ice cream character uses it to write weird shipfics of classmates that magically come to life. In one an anime Gumball is Darwin's bride. Maybe that's why Gumball is now LGBTABC123+?

I have to wonder now if The Shippening was a spoof that the writers had fun with after digging through fanfiction.net. South Park screwed with fans in a similar way.

It seems South Park just exists for tumblr based fans to ship ten year old boys with each other now. It has been for awhile.

None of those shows were liked by kids but rather tumblr rejects and soyboys. To this day I don't know a single kid that likes MLP or Steven Universe.

Steven Universe is tumblrfied cancer if I ever saw it.

I'm actually surprised that Rainbow Dash is not listed as lesbian. Just a boring side character like Lyra, who from what I've seen is the subject of many a brony fleshlight plush anyway so no1curr.

Applejack should be right up there for also being tough and tomboyish. She kicks apple trees for a living. Might as well be a stallion, right?

The list gives no citations for confirmations either. No episodes or interviews. So it's conveniently hard to research yourself without a lot of digging and binging. Most people wouldn't bother so it's easy for the database to toss whatever they want in there. Unless they cite the point of confirmation clearly you just have to take quite a few of these with a grain of salt.

I was referring to these two, the gems kind of go without saying. The only romantic thing Kiki ever did was in the non-canon comics and Lars only really had a passing attraction to Stevonnie though so he's mostly straight. Mostly.
Jesus Christ I am burdened with knowledge someone call a priest

That second one looks like a pink Darwin with cotton candy on his head.

Perhaps there was a strictly limited edition Pride version?

The amount of coping and seething of this thread is amazing and autusic

None of those shows were liked by kids but rather tumblr rejects and soyboys.

• The Loud House is Nickelodeon's second most popular show and arguably there only other original hit that isn't Spongebob
• I'm pretty sure kids still like MLP and Transformers
• The 90s shows were listed there, (As Told By Ginger, Hey Arnold! Billy & Mandy & Gargoyles) are, and still are beloved and critical acclaimed by people, even on here

While I will admit, the article is full of itself, circle-jerking and eye-rolling, some of the reactions here are borderline Christian facebook mom pearl-clutching

I will also admit that some of the characters here listed are not good characters and are boring, maybe even some are only there for pandering reasons, and some are technically only here because "Word Of Gay". (However, I think some of the users here should understand that some of them are only "Word Of Gay" due to censorship and they couldn't be allowed to make their character queer; for a site all about free speech, kinda surprised to see people actively encouraging this)

But there are points that I feel like this thread is clearly a "lol, I'm not a child anymore, and I can't handle that my tastes have changed and that children tastes of today are shit" moment

Like some people have said, I don't care about the sexuality of cartoon characters, but they are allowed to exist? If there can be 100s of cartoons about a boy trying to impress a girl, I don't see the problem in creating something where a boy tries to impress another boy, or whatever.

As long there are interesting and good characters, and imho, some (not all), some, fit that mantra here

 

[Kendall Motor Oil]

Aren't half these executives either some variant of tranny, pedo, or rainbow stealer anyway? Like that feet loving Nickelodeon producer, makes yah wonder how so many kids got fucked up.

Paoducers. The executives are jews and affluent white women.

i'm late and all but how the fuck is King Sombra bisexual?

There is a lot of fanfiction, porn, and he apparently has no romantic interest which means he must be gay for his men.

 

[Life is Hell...]

How does a literal robot count as a Non-Binary person, but then again... Danger and Eggs was created by these people

 

[whitepumpkin]

While I will admit, the article is full of itself, circle-jerking and eye-rolling, some of the reactions here are borderline Christian facebook mom pearl-clutching

The fact that a lot of kids shows are written by childless adults who are obsessed with children and teenagers fucking and have to insert said plotlines into every cartoon is pretty glaring at this point that I would rather "pearl-clutch" and not let any child within 50 feet of them than celebrate it. People are getting sick of it on the left and right.

Faggots are like, what, 1% of the population on earth? Troons even less? But every show now has some tiny freak in it or troon and creators retroactively pushing it as if this should be normal. Children are asexual and if you aren't, you're the outlier or have been abused. And maybe some of us are sick of abuse being toted as progressive - especially child troons. No one here gives a shit about the gays next door in Hey Arnold. But seeing kids as young as 10 wear Pansexual and Troon flags as shirts raises fucking red flags if you aren't a pedophile.

With Cartoon Network/Disney/Nickeloden ratings falling with the demographic it's supposed to attract, I think it's pretty obvious kids aren't interested either in this. Modern Western Cartoons are now just spaces for mentally ill retards who write AO3 fanfics so they can be animated and jerk off to later.

Precisely what @whitepumpkin said. It's not so much that gays/troons/etc. are in these cartoons, it's the fact that they're so clearly there to push an agenda and nothing more. If modern cartoon creators handled alphabet soup characters like they did in the 90s (that is, not draw any attention to it and focus on the character for who they are in terms of personality instead of sexuality because kids DGAF about that shit), we (and many others) wouldn't be "coping and seething" nearly as much. But no. They just HAVE to expose children to flat-breasted and/or fat (and ONLY flat-breasted and/or fat) abusive lesbians and emasculated men transgender women because it's just so gosh-darn important, ya see! And if you don't agree, you're sexist/transphobic/racist/fatphobic/a Nazi! Now come over here, little girl, and suck the girldick!

CN, Disney, and Nick are failing rating wise because kids don't care about Cable, not the content

Not to sound like a dumb shill, as I don't like these companies either, but the second Nickeloden content become available on stuff where kids can watch them, like streaming services and shit like Tik-Tok and Youtube, kids seem to enjoy the fuck of them

Also, you are ignoring the Netflix kiddies show that has shittons a gay characters in them, that kids seem to like also

being queer =/= sex, not going to bother to argue with the other stuff, whatever makes you sleep peacefully at night

Sure and that's what I was trying to argue, buuut...

No one here gives a shit about the gays next door in Hey Arnold.

It's clear that some folks in this thread, even you do it the "right way" from like da 90s, people will think it's inherently bad and "muh brainwashing!11"

Because there are examples from today, that I personally think are decent, treat their LGBT as characters and really don't ""force"" about it and make it a big deal, But YMMV I suppose

I still think that the overwhelming of the thread are underestimating kids and how "much they don't care!!"
There is no graphic or anything, but I can testify that there are kids who are into that dumb "woke / stan fandom culture" and writing silly fanfictions and shit like that

I think it's warranted due to how kids nowadays are online so much, it's not shocking that they would also be into stuff that "only mentally ill retards who write AO3 fanfics so they can be animated and jerk off to later"

Spoiler

And also, I just think it's funny how much people here say "I don't care, and this pursuing new generation of kids don't care "... caring violently over this, a bundle of LEGO brinks, rainbow toys, and even a Wii jailbreak icon

Oh no I do agree with you a little that some animated shows have been able to make gay characters likable and actual characters. But they are few and far between.
