Some of those weird kids are writers. Probably not that many, though.I think I can answer that.
Picture the most dweeby, awkard spaz in your class, you know, the kid that was doing the Naruto run well into high school, that was kinda quiet, but would blurt out some line from a cartoon or anime in a inappropriate times, and he wasn't a bad person, but if you got to know him, you would see that some of his social inaptitude came from a sort of childish selfish nature, the "aw shucks, nobody understands me because I'm awkard", when that's is not the case, everybody understands, they just don't want to be around the weirdo who does the Naruto run and the kid just doen't want to grow up, this shit isn't being "authentic", it is just acting like a fucking retard.
Okay, now take that person, and make him 10 time more weird and spastic, and these are the people writing and producing american cartoons now.
Not so much on feature movies, but on TV cartoons, they are dominated by these weirdos who spend a lot of money to be on Calarts and when they get jobs they bring in more of their spaz friends, and before you can blink, the whole studio culture is dominated by them, self-satisfied, self-important, socially awkward yet childish petulant, and internet addicted manchildren.
And now you get cartoons with not only twitter politics, and lolz self-inserts, but also lazy and unpolished, because hard work ain't much of their culture as well, and you get turds like Steven Universe, where characters are animated scene to scene completely off model or even the scale being correct:

And yes, this shit was animated on a korean warehouse, but the ones aproving the dailies was in US, too bad they were too busy on twitter or Tumbrl at the time to even pay attention. Not to mention the abysmal writing, but then i would be here writing a novel.
But here you do, self-insert is just one of the many many drawbacks of putting in charge that weird kid in your class.
I argue the majority of writers shitting up the current landscape aren't that crowd. Most of that gang is upper-mid to upper class kids that never worked for a thing. If they had, they wouldn't pen this shit. Identity theatrics aren't a concern when you're holding two bills and deciding which one you can pay this month.
I just typed Steven Universe writers into Google. It's a long row of hipster douches too smug to ever feel weird or alienated. Look at the creator's wiki. Rich, Jewish, bisexual, non-binary, visual arts high school and college.
Identity problems are what you write about when you don't have the experience or chops to write real problems. That works great when the people giving awards to these shows are rich, Jewish, bisexual, non-binary, visual arts and theater graduates.
Bob can never be those things and it kills him inside. He's so desperate to prove he's not a New England redneck, but they'll never accept him. That crowd can smell his normie.
