Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

Got to see the kpop animated recently, did not completely hate it, but the choppy framerate is real weird. When did that become a trend? I think I've seen it in at least one video game too

Into The Spiderverse kickstarted the trend. Choppy framerates has been a thing for some time but ITS was the catalyst that exploded it beyond recognition around the early 2020s. Some movie studios (most notably Dreamworks) began adopting it and that a bunch of quirky animators/game developers began relying on it to make their animations look cooler or whatever. Which they do, by the way. Sometimes choppy can be as interesting to see visually as buttery smooth Disney animations.

The concept of an imaginary friend of this nature is referenced once, though not discussed. A short comic in Cartoon Network Block Party #31 shows a kid who imagined a nicer, hotter version of Frankie being forced to give her up for adoption because she upsets his parents. I don't know why they wrote this, because it would seem to suggest that it is in fact possible (if only for certain precocious adolescents) to imagine a living, breathing sex doll into reality. This seems like the sort of thing that a writer's room would want to avoid.

Edit: Despite appearing in order when I try to edit, the thumbnails of the comic below seem to be out of order. I don't think I can change this; you guys should be able to figure it out.

Well at least we know incells don't exist in foster's home. In a world where you can create your own cafe maid/waifu with your mind why would you be one?

Wouldn't fucking an imaginary friend just be an allegory to masturbating to a mental image of your waifu though?
