I'm starting to wonder if they want everyone to hate them. Most cash grabbers at least know how to pander properly; the Gen Zed team is spiraling down with every rebuttal they make.
Note to Gen Zed: if you're gonna try and milk the actual Gen Z for their parents' money, you can't go acting like problematic shitlords. You've failed, nice try, not really, go home.
It' s amazing how they answer even the most innocent question with snide remarks. So when you ask the inconvenient questions, they get even more aggro.
I wonder why they haven't blocked their contradictors on Tumblr yet. I bet they just haven't figured out the block function.
They're being overdefensive assholes on Twitter too.
Good luck getting anyone to buy your ugly-ass $45 leggings with that attitude, champ.
It's funny, because they're constantly trying to rebuttal our claims of them just cashing into the fact that they have "teh first trans lead in the history of teh world" by saying "there's only like 2 minutes of promo!!" buuuuut they've already gotten merch out and ready to sell despite this. If no one truly knows not of the nature of these characters, wouldn't they wait to try and start selling $25 worth of merchandise?
Speaking of the whole "2 minute promo" deal, aren't their other cartoons, TV shows, and movies, that were able to explain much more about their show, sometimes with even less time, than what the Gen Zed promo showed?

I think they're deliberately trying to antagonize people so they can turn around and claim they're being attacked by racist cis dudebros for being progressive. It's a common scam that worked out well for Brianna Wu and Anita.

The difference being they're failing it HARD. Which is in itself quite impressive. I guess this just shows that if you want to create a psychotic and autistic fanbase that you can feel shame from, you just create the show rather than try to pander to them.
They really need to put someone else in charge of their social media if they want even a chance at succeeding as a series. At this rate, they'll have dug and buried themselves in the grave before the show even airs.
Yeah, I totally understand the charges RedBubble takes for the shirt production and all, but wouldn't it be wise to wait until after the series has debuted to sell the overpriced shirts?

I woke up to this just now and wanted to post it up. Good to see that others watch their god awful tumblr too.
Either way, here are the points I see:
-If the shop wasn't set up as a cash grab, why are there so many reference pictures within it? Dr.Who? South park? Stuff like that. You know, things people actually like. I don't see a need to have all these pictures in first place (And there are quite a bunch of them)
Heck, there are even quotes from the trailer, put into their own pic and put on a T-Shirt. They say it's not made for money, but on the other hand, I feel like they still want to empty the pockets of people over it, before the show comes out and flops. They think they have something and backed this up with a trailer that they felt would come over as progressive and make people want it. The trailer seemed more for the merchendise than the actual show.
This person points out two things. For one, they are not the first to have a trans VA (I still consider Meowth a lead role, but I do know they mean the LEAD ROLE aka, protagonist number one etc) and to the other, that their advertisement solely was building on Shona being trans as a personallity. Note however, that they do not go in on this issue in their reply, only on the VA thing.
Sure, they said before that they " had a 2 minute trailer to explain a multi-layered show with many moving parts. " but if you want to show your character dynamics, what the show is about, then focus on that. And if you focus on unfunny jokes and the fact your character is the "FIRST IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD EVER TRANS LEAD" then something tells the audience, that THAT is what your characters have to offer.
We know nothing about these characters and the jokes won't keep people coming either. Saying you only had two minutes won't help this issue, because the way they spent these two minutes, focusing on the wrong things. (and also bad writing)
Heck, if people wouldn't have asked, we would have never known that these four are gamers who met online and have a secret gamer friend that they all play "Bugs" with. That right there SHOULD have been the focus of the trailer, because then people would've known what the fuck it is about.
