Maybe we need some form of quality control installed for greenlighting cartoons? Because the majority of people who make said toons are always the dangerhair lesbians/trannies, and I always question why the higher-ups don't question anything, ESPECIALLY their Twitter pages. If all you see is "BLM ACAB TRANS RIGHTS LGBTQ+" being posted on their feed, then they shouldn't even bother.
Diversity hire was a mistake.
If they did that, you'd be able to count the pool of competent writers/artists they could hire on two hands. It's like becoming an artist requires developing some form of TDS.
Huh, I didn't believe this at first but you're right... was there some recent event that brought Kaiji into the woke spotlight? Coincidentally I started watching the show a few weeks ago on the recommendation of a good friend.
We had diversity. Every show I watched as a kid had important characters of every color and cultural background. I don't know where people got the notion that cartoons aren't diverse because they have been at least since the Captain Planet days.
Cartoons always had diversity in some form, it's just that people only focused on that specific thing for modern cartoons.We had diversity. Every show I watched as a kid had important characters of every color and cultural background. I don't know where people got the notion that cartoons aren't diverse because they have been at least since the Captain Planet days.
For the super babby shows I can think of off the top of my head...
And obviously all of those had body type diversity.Cyberchase: a latina and a black girl make up 2/3rd of the main cast.
Dragon Tales: latino and bilingual humans and dragons, a dragon in a fucking wheelchair because she has a congenital deformity, later a new kid added to the main cast who was nonwhite latino and iirc an immigrant
Dora the Explorer...fuckin...duh.
Maya and Miguel: all about hispanic people, mexican-americans, even afro-latinos
Arthur: Many characters who represented different ethnic, religious, and cultural groups, kids with all kinds of disabilities like autism, blindness, dyslexia, speech impediments, anxiety and panic disorder, had orphans, latchkey kids, and homeless people, and showed important characters getting gay married or dealing with class disparity.
Liberty's kids: had a black freed man as a main character as well as an orphaned immigrant who was also a victim of human slavery.
Shit even the cast of Clifford. T-bone and Cleo were coded as hispanic and black, respectively.
Even of the less diverse shows coming out of the UK we still had Angelina Ballerina integrating romani and migrant workers into the cast as well as characters with birthmarks they are bullied for, and god damn Piggly Winks having Ferny- a bilingual hispanic half-orphan immigrant.
Obviously I'm too old to know shit about Word Girl and Martha Speaks but the main girls in those are also...?? Whatever race they are.
Non-babby shows...
Teen Titans, Samurai Jack, Danny Phantom, Codename:KND, The Proud Family, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Justice League, Young Justice, Rocket Power, The Emperor's New School, Total Drama Island, Recess, Static Shock, the Lilo & Stitch tv series, Jackie Chan Adventures, Jimmy Neutron/Planet Sheen, Hey Arnold, Totally Spies, Camp Lazlo, Invader Zim, El Tigre, Mucha Lucha, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, 6teen, Juniper Lee, American Dragon Jake Long, Class of 3000...all of these had POC protagonists.
Ed, Edd, n Eddy is less racially diverse because it's literally the population of 1 cul-de-sac but you get learning disabilities, GNC and gay kids, kids facing poverty, abuse, neglect, broken families, and mental illness
If you're Gen Z or cusp millennial I probably just handed you a comprehensive docket of your entire childhood.
We always had diversity. This is very literally manufactured outrage and it's being used as a marketing gimmick because for a hot fucking minute there cartoons almost died.
Holy fuck you just blew my mind, all of these kids shows had diversity. I legit can't even think of the age group of kids that grew up with cartoons that weren't diverse, most of the people who get all twisted about "diversity" are gen z kids that consumed media up until their early teens filled with diverse casts, even a kid turning 18 this year or last year would've had shows that were obsessed with making casts as diverse as possible and the 20 somethings are always crying about how great the classics where compared to now, which also had diversity spurned from higher ups needing shows to have rainbow gangs.We had diversity. Every show I watched as a kid had important characters of every color and cultural background. I don't know where people got the notion that cartoons aren't diverse because they have been at least since the Captain Planet days.

So basically, every one of the shows these spergs watched had diversity, they just don't remember because they didn't focus on it. Sounds about right.We had diversity.

I don't know where people got the notion that cartoons aren't diverse because they have been at least since the Captain Planet days.

Too be fair i think @FluffyTehFennekin was talking about diversity hire .( hiring people based on race , gender/gender identity and sexuality rather then hiring people based on there skills and qualifications ). Then talking about the diversity of the characters in the show.We had diversity. Every show I watched as a kid had important characters of every color and cultural background. I don't know where people got the notion that cartoons aren't diverse because they have been at least since the Captain Planet days.

The engrish is strong here.
I'm just bad with grammar

Hermes doesn't look that bad in the first one. Hell, Foo doesn't either.
THAT'S NOT HOW ANATOMY WORKS
Steven Universe is an evil we as a species must purge from the timeline.
Anatomy is super wonky in the first two, but they aren't that bad. The third one makes my eyes sad to look at.
