Could it be deliberately shit, like a dadaist art experiment?

(rate me optimistic all you want. I'm trying to find a nugget of gold in the shit)

That's if the people working on it were self-aware in how bad the show is what with the animation and voice acting. Otherwise, some might think this is going to be good because of the premise which would no doubt have been done before in some way.

Ignoring the trans aspect, the sample of the show provided in the trailer reminds me of Undergrads (okay to pretty good) mixed with Drawn Together (mostly lame with the occasional moment of brilliance) but with the writing quality of the abysmal Crash Canyon (a "Teletoon Original" Family Guy wannabe that got two seasons because of Canadian content regulations where a show doesn't have to be good to get renewed).

Speaking of Drawn Together, they did a "Bill Cosby is a rapist" joke long before the allegations became public.

Seriously, who are these people even trying to kid? If the show isn't outright shit, then it's going to be mediocre at best. Hayden Black and anyone else who thinks that Gen Zed is getting flack for having the first major trans character ever is deluding themselves. Gen Zed's problems have almost nothing to do with its inclusion of minorities. It's the bland name that isn't descriptive, snappy, clever, or even particularly relevant to the subject matter; the contrived, cliched set-up (four "wacky" people have to live together!); the lazy, unimaginative, one-note characters; the subpar voicework; the lame, forced attempts at humour; and the terrible art and animation.

It's possible that the writing will prove to be at least competent, since we've only seen the trailer, but I highly doubt it will. Shona's entire identity, it seems, revolves around being trans and almost nothing else (like real trans people, right?) -- and if your "representation" is so utterly paper-thin, then that's no representation at all. In any case, even though most of the characters are borderline offensive in how incompetently they're handled (Cameron can't rap! Who knew that every black person wasn't interchangeable with Kanye West?), all of them are hollow shells with only two or three traits to define them. They're just so nothing.

One of the biggest red flags for me was how they describe Huey as a "psychopath" in his written description, but then as "psychotic" in the trailer. If they didn't bother to do the cursory research required to distinguish between these two hugely different psychological conditions, what does that say about the level of effort they put into what's supposed to be this guy's defining characteristic?

I'm not fully convinced that this isn't some kind of scam.

It's the tumblr method of slapping simple labels on things. Ever seen their profiles? It's always "I am X, Y and Z". It's like tagging a document but with people.
They claim to do so to be inclusive of all genders and races, but in the end it degenerates into everything being a bunch of tags devoid of any personality, for their identity is their labels and the labels they give to everyone else.

At least Drawn Together never pretended to be anything more than a vehicle for edgy jokes about racism and sexual abnormalities. Gen Zed and all involved with it clearly think its Gods gift to cartoons and some sort of trendsetter.

I think the joke there is 'lol crazy people.'
Tumblr likes the soft mental illnesses, the ones which they can self diagnose and use as an excuse to be a lazy dick, if they actually had psychosis they would not be so blasé about it.
