>>1585412"but everyone does it"
i question why we need so much porn in the first place. maybe if you did it once it would be funny, but the fact that so many artists are constantly drawing porn of their characters is pretty stupid and gross. you can draw them murdering each other or doing drugs if you want to be 3edgy5me; we don't need cartoon sex imo
No. 1585572
>>1585535>>1585554>fictional murder of minors is a-ok but fictional sex of minors is not I’m not gonna say that people exclusively and excessively drawing porn of lolis/shota are particularly sane and not weird (at best, they clearly have some issues and/or trauma they’re working out through their art), but this is what I don’t get. You can have children be brutally slaughtered in fiction and people can be ascertained you don’t actually want kids to be killed, no matter how graphic your depiction is, but when you draw some cringe underaged ship or write about it, you obviously want to do it in real life? I’ve always perceived these types of dark works to be a detached thing, just like anyone writing a dark novel. Obviously it’s fucked up in real life - that’s why you can safely explore darker natures and concepts through characters instead.
I think that people who draw rule 34’d toddler AU of characters are creepy as hell and will absolutely avoid whoever does it, but I still put it under the above reasoning and understanding. In the end, it’s just lines of beings that barely match reality’s biological appearances.
No. 1585617
>>1585580>>1585584>>1585591All my love to you, but you really gotta abandon the “if you’re not with me 100% you’re against me” mentality. I sympathize and I understand why you’re disgusted with it, but you shouldn’t waste time thinking about it too much.
Anti antis/“proshippers” are just as absurd. The amount of adults I’ve seen act as if they’re oppressed for being queer and/or
POC instead of the fact people came across their incredibly dubious porn is high. People are gonna fap to whatever cartoon character regardless of how old they are. All you can do is block, pray to god they don’t post the shit in main hashtags, and just not look for it or try to expose them to people who’d rather not be reminded. I don’t want to see cartoon 12-year-old siblings fuck as much as you do, but I’m not gonna spend time agonizing over it.
The most common reasoning I’ve ever seen besides “it’s just fictional”, is that some people are using it as cope material. They wish their abuser or childhood was just as kind despite the atrocious nature of the relationship, or they keep reliving their trauma through fiction so they can seize some kind of control over it. I certainly don’t think it’s the best approach, but if it makes them feel safer, sure. I do admit there’s something to be said about someone who exclusively diddles to fictional minors, but I’d just block them. It’s not illegal at this time. Likewise I hope my explanation makes sense.
No. 1585669
>>1585643nah I get anon's reasoning. i wanna know how they got there. if one considers it CP, why expose the material to a fandom full of minors? that shit was locked. they apparently had to get approved to be able to follow them in the first place, so they set up some alt to do so. like did they just tirelessly search through a bunch of nsfw accounts' common followings and through their tweets until they found something?
if you, an ordinary, hop onto the seedy underbelly of the web and gather literal CP of irl children, can you claim it was for the greater good? intentions and procedures aren’t very transparent here.

I'd like to point out that using Orion as an autism rage allegory is profoundly retarded. Idk how the character is in the show, but in everything else he was a baby given to Darkseid (superevil cosmic torture tyrant) and lived on a hell planet. Every waking moment he fought for his life against nightmare abominations and Gods of Evil trying to break him. Yeah no shit he has anger issues HE SPENT HIS LIFE IN HELL.
Trying to tie it to Real World Issues (tm) is some tumblr shit like having werewolves be allegories for troons (lol)
No. 1586253
>>1586229I think it’s because predators think that a child won’t see how evil they are, at least at first, so it’s a false idea of “acceptance” or an innocence they can corrupt. They’re psychologically the weakest people so they feel most powerful when their
victims represent symbols that are “most weak” than they are. If characters are given an age that is numerically the age of minor, that’s all they need. It’s a lack of experience or ability to be immediately disgusted with who is predating them, the predator is always in a fantasy or delusion, and awareness breaks that. Idk if that made sense but from what I’ve learned like literally every other girl who had to grow up online with men, that’s what I’ve come to the conclusion of. That’s also why men in animation force out women, they don’t want work with more talent or depth out there because in comparison it would expose them. Think about the socialization of animation people, cartoonists are like band camp kids they just fuck each other and never get more attractive.

I think its messed up that these people tried to keep these drawings hidden but got leaked by some equally degenerate person just so they could put themselves on a high horse. I definitely dont agree with animators and showcreators drawing porn of cartoon characters and making them public with underage fans but i dont want to restrict freedom of what people want to do on their private lives.

No. 1587585
>>1587421>>1587569I honestly highly doubt it’s jealousy for the majority of them. in this case a lot of these posters either don’t draw or have vocally stated they have no internet of going into animation.
Jealousy feels like it would be an obvious reason, but these people, especially how hard they’re going as a collective does not seem like the right reason. I’m not in their heads but most of it just seems like they find some sort of comradeship with others by dunking and harassing people they see as “bad” and it gives them like, a rush or something.
No. 1587606
>>1587523That's a fair point anon. Horny people have always been around but with the internet, it's easier to be exposed to that sort of stuff. I 100% understand getting annoyed/grossed out with it. I feel similar towards the constant shipping in media.
>>1587585I disagree anon because there have been numerous instances where the person doing the callout is looking to get into the industry (ex: idolmantises). However, I agree with you about how people want to be part of some collective so they'll go with the mob.
>>1587569Exactly. I also find a lot more disturbing porn on twitter drawn by men than women
No. 1587656
>>1587585They're pretty young. Well, most of them. Trying to be part of something, having all these feelings, and being a didact is their thing. I was a teenager during the time "sjw" shit started really blowing up on tumblr, and I remember being super sensitive about shit that didn't matter in the grand scheme. And when I saw or read something seedy or degenerate, I did feel deeply uncomfortable. Then those feelings escape you once real life hits you and you're jaded by the world's actual problems.
>>1587606Think it also has to do with the Streisand effect. People always bring up the forbidden porn of some media or YT animator, and in their efforts to try to be vigilant about it, they end up bringing more attention to it.

That whole group in the twitter artist containment thread are responsible for the majority of art callouts and stupid bullshit on that site and have never had an industry job in their life kek.

Females or Ftms always get call outs, especially artists, for the most mundane shit, compared to males or mtf (primarily those who keep their masculine features)- whose call outs more often than not retain the most disturbing, self-depriving shit that SHOULD get them blasted, but even then it’s a coin flip to see if they actually go to prison

>>1585605On principle, its not a good idea to draw porn of cartoon characters when you're working in an industry that targets kids as their main audience.
But yeah you're right if the characters are 100% fictional, then do whatever. Just don't do a Shadman and draw irl kids- even irl adults for that matter. Those are the biggest red flags imo.
But I'm kind of baffled on how the artists didn't do a good job on keeping their nsfw shit away from their public profiles. Did they get greedy on wanting more clout on their nsfw accounts?
No. 1589228
>>1589213The fact that nearly everyone in the industry draws cartoon porn (including characters from the shows they work on) is an open secret so people have just gotten really casual and lax about it because 90% of the time people don’t care. The big problem is the lack of 4th wall and the fact that these crew members get too comfy having their egos stroked by fangirls who are often just as terminally online as they are who will turn on them at the drop of a hat and weaponize their cartoon porn against them the first chance they get, especially if it’s “
problematic” content which could mean anything from canonically underaged characters fucking to ship art of a pairing that the fandom deemed “
abusive”
No. 1589281
>>1589213Everything I've heard about the animation industry is they never cared. "Don't draw porn" Disney animators drew comedy porn of Mickey Mouse and the Rugrats crew drew edgelord scribbles in their free time.
That said they don't double back to posting it online and they def don't unironically make kiddo porn, so this whole thing is still retarded.

No. 1591417
>>1586079No idea what you're tamking about exactly because I don't know that character but I remember the video posted in the previous thread. This reminds me how I always thought the mutants in X-men being allegories for discriminated people irl like
victims of racism or homophobia is retarded. When you're not white and you can't get a job or a house just because people want to discriminate against you for your skin color and ethinicity you know you're harmless and what's happening to you is unfair. The mutants can severely harm or kill people whenever the fuck they want by just lifting their fingers, sometimes even by accident, they're actually dangerous so it's normal for people to be wary of them at least a little even if it sucks for the mutants.
No. 1592733
>>1591417>>1592730To add to this I just realized what bothers me about the X-Men half the time. You know how troons aren't women, but the exaggerated male idea of womanhood?
The X-Men are the straight white guy's bloated idea of what it's like to be gay or black or have autism, etc. Simultaneously the most oppressed group that lives under one comfortable umbrella, but also the Ubermensch that is replacing the old group. Literally no gay people think they're the Next Hot Shit, it's only straight people who see the gays as dancing monkeys and a fashion statement.

>>1592733>>1592730Its a bit complicated(I will admit that I am an X men fan) but essentially the original X-Men is a ripoff of Doom Patrol(like a very overt ripoff) which was a ripoff of The fantastic 4, the appeal of the original Fantastic 4 and Doom Patrol wasn't that they were isolated social outcasts, rather that they were heroes that acted human, unlike other superhero comics they often quarrelled and suffered personal problems(this was considered groundbreaking back then) though Doom Patrol was way more campy and weird then F4, the Original X-men just shamelessly ripped of from Doom Patrol, Magneto had no backstory or anything, he was just a generic evil guy whose team was literally called the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, it was only in the mid 70's where X-men actually got good, with all-new, all-different X-Men it introduced actual diverse characters that you would never seen before in any mainstream comic, Storm(an african black woman), nightcrawler(german), wolverine(canadian), colossus(who was actually the most controversial character at one point, cause he was a character from the Soviet Union portrayed in a good light), and also having OG characters Jean Gray and Cyclops, so the x-men was the most multi-cultural comic cast at one point and it attracted a diverse fanbase never before seen, it s during this era that racism/bigotry allegory started being mixed in with x-men stories

A kid from my family likes these cartoons and after watching a couple of episodes together, I gotta say these series are weirdly inappropriate sometimes. like the sort of "wink wink we're making adult jokes in kids movie" thing you know. The boy sometimes makes these fuckboy faces/glances, and overall does fuckboy pick up talk/ humour. usually it's just tame flirting and then it isn't disturbing, but sometimes it was just dumb af. once they fell down somehow in a way they were on top of each other, Cat on Ladybug and there ws this whole slowmotion, from every angle, and it was dragged on longer than needed, making it look awkward in whole other way. there was also an episode with some sort of Ladybug's doppleganger who somehow turned around nd started working with them. and the guy said somethign like "TWO Ladybugs? am i in heaven? it's like a dream come true!" eek.
Rich of that Thomas guy to criticize fanfics when he's the biggest fucking shipper and his series are a secret slow burn fanfic with how much the show implies that Ladybird & Cat totes should fuck. but still those smutty AO3 fics about 15 year olds fucking are just as fuckedup, that's odd all around. i'd rather it was just a story about two teens in love, not something oversexualized by both authors and audience.

>>1604388Making Stella an
abusive bitch for literally no reason at all is such lazy, shitty writing. Viv just needed a one-dimensional woman to demonize so her retarded gay rape ship looks less
problematic. This is the kind of characterization you’d expect from yaoi fanfic written by a 14-year-old girl.
Stella is not sad or jealous or resentful. She’s not even implied to be motivated to keep control over Stolas for her own schemes or whatever—if that were the case, it’d make more sense to write her as manipulative instead of a raging psycho. Besides, in a universe where all the protagonists are mass murderers who constantly verbally abuse each other anyway why the fuck should I be specifically offended by a female character
almost slapping her sexually degenerate husband? kek
But really, why even bother putting Stolas in that conflict at all if you’re going to do nothing interesting with the wife character? If she only had to exist to justify why he has a daughter (who herself only exists as a prop to make Stolas seem likable) then couldn’t they have already been divorced at the start of the show?
No. 1604689
>>1604672All fair points
When I first saw the show I thought they were just beginning to get a divorce since the daughter mentioned "You broke our family dad". That and the fact that Octavia was spending weekends alone with her mom, away with the dad.
It seems repetitive that Stolas kept mentioning a divorce. Either get the divorce or don't.
I liked both characters more when it was just Stolas being a horny demon asshole who was manipulating Blitz for sex and Stella being a rightfully pissed ex wife
No. 1604704
>>1604388I immediately came here to see if anyone talked about this, kek.
So fucking dumb. The original dynamic was a good foundation for what could be an interesting morally grey drama between the characters. They all live in Hell, for fuck's sake. It made sense that Stolas is a coombrained gay moid who can't keep it in his pants to keep his marriage and family together. But no, they undid all of this by making Stella a raging bitch for no reason and no motivation, other than to make Stolas the uwu gay male character for fujos to feel sorry for. Weird.
No. 1604748
>>1604704The original dynamic was great
honestly I think making Stolas and Blitzo "childhood friends" was the dumbest fucking move I've ever seen and was beyond unnecessary and came out of nowhere.
I think the childhood scene with Blitzo and Fizz should have been to establish Fizz's past relationship with Blitzo. This whole episode just seems forced.
A rich, bored horny gay guy who is buying a lover seems more right on the money. And Stella being rightfully pissed that her status, life style and everything was threatened because her husband is a pervert.

>>1604388They're so obviously simping for the uwu poor gay misunderstood bois while being angry at Stella for literally no reason. We are shown that Stolas hates his marriage because it was arranged and he's rather stay with his shitty moody childhood friend (I fucking hate Blitzo by this point btw, all the acting crazy but being secretly sad is getting old). So his hate towards Stella and his cheating are clearly justified. So why is Stella being painted as the crazy villain? She's also in an arranged marriage, she mentioned she had to do everything to fulfill her duty and her husband ruins it all, why are her anger and resentment towards Stolas not justified as well?
The answer is: the writing is incredibly lazy and they just really wanted the woman to be evil, even if it doesn't make sense in their own story that they wrote. By their rules, even her "abusing" him wouldn't fucking matter because they're in hell and the main characters kill people for a job. They're fine with showing a child getting gunned down, but they draw the line at the poor gay who can't fuck the one he loves in peace!! So juvenile and ridiculous. Just like when they showed Millie's trans sibling and made sure to respect the pronouns uwu in a show that's supposed to be offensive.
Unless Vivzie will do a plot twist and expand on Stella, Helluva Boss's writing is BAD, just like Hazbin Hotel's.

Can we talk about voice actors here as well? This is taken from the FTM thread:
>48 year old VA for Silco from Arcane, Jason Spisak, is dating a 22 year old they/them (she later became an exclusive them) Jinx cosplayer he met on Twitter. This man has 2 children (at least one of them is a girl) and recently divorced his 46 year old wife. He got into some controversy shortly after Arcane released for liking Jinx/Silco ship art, and had to come out saying he only interprets their relationship as father/daughter. On his streams and cameo he’s known for trying to come across as “sexy,” speaking in his Silco voice and interacting with a lot of the young women in the fandom in an obviously grooming manner. The cosplayer nuked all of her socials so this was recovered from the wayback machine. The dd/lg grossness is so obvious, he even commissioned a Silco cosplay for himself that he probably wears in the bedroom with her dressed as Jinx.

Major shakeups with David Zaslav stepping in as CEO of Warner Brothers Discovery. Scoob's holiday special was months away from finishing and has been cancelled. Little Ellen's latest season was
completed and has been shelved and is now lost media. Final Space was not only cancelled but deplatformed and is now no longer legally available anywhere. Close Enough has been cancelled after 3 seasons. While most of the press has been focused on how live-action is being affected by the WB/Discovery merger the animation industry is likewise looking at an uncertain future, at least that under WBD's domain.
Industrynonas, how you feeling?

>>1606730WB had a shit ton of debt, apparently. Zaslav is trying to get the finances under control and one way to do that is via tax write offs. They can use a show as a write off but in order to do that they are not allowed to profit off it in any way which means they can not release it. Evidently the tax write off is worth more than having these titles in their library. Longer term I think this bodes badly for western animation. The new CEO wants to trim up the amount of script-driven shows with the idea of having a smaller, current library of high quality heavy hitters and then lots of cheap reality entertainment. Animation is expensive and script driven and might not be popular enough to justify the expense in his eyes. They might pivot (like CN already was) towards focusing on animated content aimed at babies and toddlers ("Cartoonito").
This article is more optimistic:
https://puck.news/zazs-tween-gamble/Hard to say if that article is on the money or not, we'll have to wait and see. If WDB is orienting away from producing animated content for the tween+ set though then the Western animation industry is poised to take a big hit and current industry professionals will be vying for jobs in a much more competitive environment.

The story was going to slowly go to fujo shit about Angel dust and that weird gambler demon but told Vivzie no. There is lgbt characters in the show, but told her it shouldn't be the main point of the show. They are focusing on lore, why demons can't be redeemed and the corruption in both heaven and hell… which sounds much cooler than "Fujo shipping."
Also, not only did the network force Viv to have professional writers and VA's, they also made her hire a couple of professional animators as well and get rid of a lot of her more
problematic staff. So the show should look miles better than Helluva boss. Which btw, was confirmed that Viv has been hiring FANS over at Spindle Horse.

>>1608895I'm glad to hear someone on the production team apparently gives a fuck about worldbuilding, since it seems all Vivzie cares about is a setting that gives her an excuse to be edgy and have all her OC's shack up for shipping purposes. So many things about the basic setup of the HH universe bothers me, and almost none of it was even alluded to in the pilot.
The problem with any story taking place in hell is that you can't just turn it into a paradise for assholes to indulge their vices for all eternity, at least not if you're going with the boilerplate christian template of the afterlife as either a reward or a punishment. Unless the point of your story is to deconstruct it or you use it as a setup to reveal a much darker twist, the internal logic falls apart quickly.
What exactly is the conflict between heaven and hell based on? Is Lucifer a rebellious anti-hero building his own kingdom to challenge heaven? Is he god's dark twin brother who is just as powerful and necessary to keep some sort of universal balance? Is he a glorified manager in a divine bureaucracy punishing sinners on god's payroll? How does hell's power hierarchy function and why does it even exist?
What criteria sends mortals to hell in the first place, and what criteria would allow them to leave since Charlie is convinced this is at least theoretically possible? Why would sinners even WANT to leave a place where they are free to do what they want with very little to stop them? How the fuck can hell get overpopulated in the first place? Does that mean heaven could get overpopulated too? Is there some kind of reverse Hazbin Hotel where good people are encouraged to corrupt themselves so they can be sent to hell? Is Jesus up there singing showtunes asking the redeemed to shoot up meth and fuck gay hookers because the devil isn't meeting his quota??
All of those questions have implications for the plot, characterization, and fundamental purpose of literally everyone in the cast.
I'm definitely not saying fiction stories have to adhere to any kind of traditional orthodoxy, but it's pretty fucking stupid to incorporate major religious figures and themes into your show without establishing a coherent theological framework. This is even more important if the goal is to morally redeem some of the characters. It's obvious that Viv wants HH to be a serious drama with hidden depth behind all the raunchy edgelord comedy, but judging by the trajectory Helluva Boss is on and her priorities with the Hazbin backstory comics, she sure as fuck wasn't going to do anything to make that work.

Steg. Like wtf is happening here?

popular fan theory is that Rebecca was super dead set on having the marriage episode even though the cn didn't want it so the execs got so triggered they said she only had five episodes to conclude the whole show and also because it's a kids show so it's not like you can expect the bad guy to be thrown into a wood chirper on-screen, but Kevin made it even worse. How do you create a whole character so you can go "see? not everybody is redeemable" in order to subvert
yourself but still proceed do exactly what you were subverting and forgive every single other character? Kevin makes the whole thing so much stupider.

>>1613488>>1622275A long time ago, (in the redraw or redline thread maybe?) I wrote a spergout about how you can't tell what time period the characters are supposed to have died in. Like
>>1605344 said, the name "Angeldust," his being a stripper, and the big hair all have an eighties connotation, but apparently he's supposed to have died in the thirties? The old design, while it was cluttered and busy, at least communicated that idea more effectively. Viv can't seem to pick one idea and stick to it, she just throws like eight different ideas at a character with no regard for whether or not they'll jibe visually or logically.
I hate the fact that damn near every character has retarded scene kid hair. The Radio Demon is the worst instance of that because it doesn't fit his character at all. If he's from the roaring twenties, his hair and ears should be slicked back.
The asymmetrical scene kid shit with the Xes and programmer socks totally ruin Vaggy's design. I think the underlying idea was to have Vaggy be understated and grey as a contrast to how vibrant Charlie is. The hair bow is really the only pop of red you need in what should otherwise be a monochromatic design.
Finally (and this is a pretty minor issue but I might as well mention it somewhere) there's no logical or artistic through line for which characters are animals and what animals they are. I suppose Angeldust being a spider is the least nonsensical because of their association with the femme fatale trope, but I'm completely baffled by the Radio Demon Being a deer and the casino guy being a cat. I mean… the OBVIOUS choice for a covetous cheat would be a fox, right? And shouldn't the radio guy be something associated with sound, like a bird or a cricket? Or just have him be a literal radio cyborg, since it's not like we're adhering closely to logic anyway.

Like the only justification the show has for why he doesn't live in Steven's house is that he's needy and annoying when he does live there? And that he apparently likes living in his van. I don't understand why Greg and Steven couldn't just live in a little apartment above or attached to the car wash, and have the temple be a separate place entirely. The car wash is half a block away at most. The show is just sending a really mixed message as it is; either have him be a deadbeat layabout who lives in his van and frame it as bad parenting, or have him be a normal, somewhat laid back dad (the better option.) You can't have it both ways. The gems should be his teammates/teachers, not backup parents.
Also this has nothing to do with anything, but they should've gotten a different voice for young Greg. The VA worked fine for when he's a dad, but he doesn't work at all for an eighteen year old hair rocker.

>>1623579>>1622636I remember Viv saying why some of them are animals/have certain traits but by now they're probably not canon anymore because she changes shit up so much.
Angel Dust is a spider because he was part of the mafia (and died in a gunfight?) that was like a "web". Alastor was supposed to be a radio speaker who was also a murdered and liked to kill deer iirc. Vaggy is moth themed but I can't really see it, Charlie is supposed to have goat elements (you can see it in her shoes resembling hooves in the pilot). The casino guy is I think a war criminal but I have no fucking idea why Viv went with that winged cat abomination, I guess she just wanted a furry there. I think Nifty has one eye because Viv said she was the girlfriend of a japanese criminal and she turned a "blind eye". Anyway their designs are supposed to be tied to what crimes they committed or what kind of life they had while alive, but I think most of the explanations make little sense.

>The “Scooby-Doo” universe is about to come back in a big way, but don’t expect Scooby-Doo to be involved. “Velma,” a new adult animated series that features Mindy Kaling as the voice of the titular character, promises to satisfy longtime fans of the cartoon series who want to pair their nostalgia with a more mature sense of humor. It features adult versions of the crew from the mystery machine, but in order to ensure that Velma is front and center, Scooby himself won’t be making any appearances.>Appearing on a panel for the show at New York Comic-Con (via Insider), showrunner Charlie Grandy explained that the decision to omit Scooby-Doo from the series was an attempt to differentiate the adult show from the family friendly property that inspired it.>“We couldn’t get a take on it that was like, ‘How do we kind of do this in a fun, modern way?'” he said. “That felt like what made it a kid show was, Scooby-Doo.”>Grandy also made it clear that even though Scooby-Doo won’t show his face, the new series still exists in the same universe as the iconic mystery-solving canine.>“I think it’s nice to kind of allude to dogs in the world,” he said. “It’s fun and let’s just kinda leave it that.”>The more adult subject matter in “Velma” is likely to please James Gunn, who attempted to write an R-rated live action “Scooby Doo” movie in 2002 before studio interference ultimately led to the script being watered down into a family friendly film.>“The first Scooby-Doo was originally intended (by me, the producers & the director, Raja Gosnell) to be PG-13, but we never got a PG-13 rating,” Gunn recently wrote on Twitter. “The first rating from the MPAA was R, & then a bunch of stuff was changed, & that cut ended up being rated PG.”so they think having a dog in the show will ruin the tone of the series and make it less adult and mature

>>1467077I have this tangent about Turning Red, I find the movie extremely interesting as it encapsulate perfectly the phenomenon of yassification. Red if I remember correctly was written by team of liberal millennial women, and it shows very well how did the mindset of people changed.
Coming of age movies with parents as 'antagonist' because they are suffocating are nothing new in the media landscape, but they all followed the same arc. Protag want to do X, parent don't want them because they view it as harmful so they act like tyrant to protect their child, child get upset about the tyranny and are in conflict with the parents. Usually then later in the movie some new danger arise related to the fear of the parents, and in the darkest hour for the child the parent comes to the rescue. Then there was a cute moment of understanding between the parent and child where both understood one another. The parent understanding there were suffocating for their children that just wanted to explore the world by themselves and the children understanding that the parent was warning them of a real risk and only wanted the best for them, even if it was done in a clumsy way.
In turning red that story scheme goes out the window, the mother is presented as being wrong in every way, warning her daughter of an actual real risk and still being shown as the bad guy, then the movie chug along, the daughter just not giving two shit, the climax of the movie being a show down between daughter and mother where the mother is shown as an irredeemable cunt and the daughter reckless behavior is completely justified.
I think it represents exactly the brain rot that is liberalism and libfem thought, the moral of the story is "do whatever you want cause you are awesome, anyone disagreeing with you is an asshole and only deserves to be crushed" which honestly is quite a sociopathic way of seeing the world. While the old version of these movies was "Love your parents, even if they are beings cunts they want the best for you and you will understand it one day by communicating"
And I'm skipping on the whole undertones of the Panda representing puberty and in some dubious sexual sense where the MC start selling hugs in a bathroom at a party because everyone would love to touch her secret red Panda…

No. 1671034
>>1670990> some dubious sexual sense where the MC start selling hugs in a bathroom at a party because everyone would love to touch her secret red Panda…Bruh wtf are you talking about no scene like that happened in the movie? The closest thing you're probably describing is when Mei and her friends surprised some girl with panda
merch in the school bathroom. Also the panda fundraising aspect was also done mostly through photos and shit.
Also Ming was never depicted as an "irredeemable cunt". She genuinely loved Mei yes, but her grip on her was too much and lead to events that embarrassed Mei (the pads scene, accusing a random clerk of being a groomer) and was stifling her independence in general. Mei not wanting to be suffocated with Ming's high expectations barely qualifies as "sociopathic".
The movie is no masterpiece and idgaf about the artstyle or what anyone else thinks of it, but it's weirding me out when some people on this board try to twist the film as having some Cuties-tier shit going on (she was selling pics of her panda form and giving people hugs in exchange for money this is obviously a prostitution metaphor ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!1!) this is a

>>1670990 was kind of right, though, about the change in coming of age/kids adventure movies. In the past, the parents were either off doing their own thing in parent world and the kids had to deal, or they parents tried to help but were blocked from helping so the kids had to deal, or the parents and kids were in the mess together and they had to work together to solve the problem, and in the process, solved their family issues.
The movies with the plot "Your parents/family were the whole problem all along" is new and a definite change. It's due to creators today using these movies to work out their personal issues instead of just writing movies that are entertaining. If they are lucky they manage to keep it in check enough to make the movies relatable so that the movies are successful.

A lot of them sought jobs drawing/writing comic books because they wanted to create stories that they wanted to read and not because they wanted to create similar kinds of stories that they had read as kids for another generation of children.

>>1671766So the uncropped version of this promo has a bunch of high school girls with nothing but suds covering them up? I’m honestly so confused by the optics of this new series. They’re trying to appeal to an audience but don’t seem to understand what they will and won’t like.
I genuinely couldn’t give less of a shit about the racebending. Scooby Doo gets rebooted and retold all the time and I see this aspect as just a new iteration. What I’m confused by is all of the really strange writing decisions they’re making. Rebooting characters don’t have to be one to one in terms of their original stories but the general dynamics should be the same. That’s kind of the appeal of robots; dynamics between characters that work but in different settings that aren’t possible in the original stories. Completely removing a main character in this dynamic is the first nail in the coffin. Mystery Inc had a very serious tone and still had Scooby. Daphne being working class is such a strange choice. Making her parents lesbian
WOC who are fucking cops seems extremely tone deaf. If Fred is trans why is a celeb voicing him? Why make the only black character the massive stoner? Really just kind of showing their unconscious biases here.
All of these choices are making me start to believe the tinfoil that Mindy wanted her own original show but HBO would only allow it with an existing IP attached. Would’ve made for much better representation anyways.

It's a really great version of Fred that builds on his already existent character traits of obsession with his van and mystery solving which were previously played as gags, and really well recieved by audiences. Not to mention, a really good portrayal of autism as something that the defacto leader can have. It's pathetic to see them writing off Fred as a ebil white man who will probably be the butt of every joke because he's white.

it's probably been pointed out before but the reason this stuff keeps all getting canceled is because it's "diversity" targeted at a demographic that is already completely media saturated. It's not bringing new people, just people who identify as a lot of new things.
In some ways from a progressive perspective it's actually a step backwards from 2000s and 90s tv where they just made a lot more black and hispanic shows because there was nothing targeting them. UPN was a lot more diverse and helped a lot more creators than the CW did for example.

>>1671689Bad argument on my part, technically lots of older people call anyone younger than them kids (e.g. 50 year olds call 30 year olds kids). Hanna-Barbera's Archie animated series was a hit in the late 60's. This came shortly after the backlash of having cartoon superhero and action shows on the network. Parents were worried about the violence and raised their concerns. The network felt pressure and seeing Archie have success wanted more shows like it. So the network wanted Hanna-Barbera to create a show revolving around teenagers and the radio show I Love a Mystery. They were originally suppose to be in a traveling band but that got scraped. Who's S-S-Scared? was a title for the show but rejected. There's more but the gist of it is network needed new shows due to pressure, show with teens having wacky hijinks does well, and wants a show similar to it. Not a giant Scooby Doo fan just remember reading stuff about it as a tween and being fascinated on the creation. The episode with Mama Cass always gave me an unsettling feeling. Also side note, is Shaggy still a vegetarian? I remember reading Casey Kasem wanted Shaggy to be a vegetarian because he was a vegetarian.

>>1673636What millennial moids have you been talking to? All of the ones I know have crippling porn addictions. Maybe you just don't notice because they don't tend to constantly publicly display it on social media it the way zoomer moids do, but it's there. It mostly leaks through in "jokes" or memes, or sometimes they get uncomfortable when they see or hear innocent stuff because it reminds them of porn.
The girls seem to be the ones more affected between the generations imo. Only about one in six millennial women I know have had porn issues at one point in their life or another, and all of them were groomed by people they personally knew. Two of those six will be extremely chaste and oblivious, though, but they are usually NLOGs who think there's no way their precious moids could be coomers or misogynistic abusers. Meanwhile, the statistics are flipped for zoomer women and girls. I would say only one in eight zoomer women have never had any porn issues, and one in three have had or currently have porn addictions. They're the ones running this bimboism trend, and in a couple decades we will be seeing the consequences of this all.
>>1673783God I wish. I stopped watching R&M after the dragon episode, where Rick, Morty, and Summer are all mentally connected to a dragon at one time and all of them get sexual pleasure from it. I think there was also a joke early on about Morty masturbating to Summer or something, and I don't think it's a coincidence his crush has the same hair color as Summer, either. Incest isn't the only thing put in there, either. There are a lot of jokes about Summer peeing herself. I'm sure there are more, but I haven't watched any of it in awhile, and I can't remember most of it (thankfully).

Dante's Inferno. Write What You Know (and let's face it, writing from personal experience has the advantage of making a story more authentic than say, trying to write from a different culture, sexuality, experience you're not from or whatever–you're gonna fuck up. Just look at the way

The latter group probably isn't as interested in shows like TOH as the former group.
Then again, shows with "certain content" are regularly censored, less popular, or even banned from countries with large audiences, like Russia and China. And networks for cartoons are known to give shitty time slots to shows they don't have faith in or have some reason to want to cancel (re: "certain content").

>>1681144> She can't be "poor little meow meow who was being manipulated" and "badass villainess who loves being evil" and "edgy hero who works with batman" all at the same time.Hello, are you new to comic book characters? In the B:TAS she was both
"poor little meow meow who was manipulated" and "badass villainess who loves being evil". And Harley vacillates between all three of these in the comics. Someone is always redeeming her because what happened to her is messed up and the joker is a
abusive, but it never sticks because comics always return to the status quo.
No. 1681974
>>1681750Her characterization in BTAS was perfectly fine to me. It was complex. The problem comes in when writers make her out to be a good person
because she was abused.
>>1681229I haven't read a comic about her but from what I can gather she just seems like HQ but with much less charm. Arcane's Jinx is HQ done perfectly which is ironic considering that at first LOL's Jinx was a massive HQ clone.
No. 1682030
>>1681974Interesting. I agree fully about Punchline, except she kind of feels like "HQ if she was actually evil and a bit retarded" to me. Also, her civilian design reminds me of how TIMs draw themselves. In light of that stupid "make HQ trans" tweet that was in the TIM thread a few days back, I wouldn't be surprised if Punchline was James Tynion's trannysona self insert.
As for Jinx, I don't play LoL (thank god for that last sheed of dignity), but I know people who do, and I always thought of her as a cringe HQ/female Joker knockoff that plays out the "lol I'm so random and crazy" stereotype completely straight. I have no interest in Arcane*, but from what I've seen, Jinx is pretty much the same there, except they babygirlified her and made her into some sort of trauma pincussion.
I unironically think that BTAS wrote the best Harley Quinn type character, somehow, despite it being the first. Everything else just tries way too hard.
*The relationship between Jinx and Silco is already extremely uncomfortable for me (even without considering the actions of Jason Spisak), I generally don't really care for the genre or aesthetic, and I really don't want to give Riot any kind of support. No. 1682492

No. 1686796
>>1684857Hopefully they go back with the episodic format and just do the more impactful episodes at the start and end of each season, similar to how MLP:FiM did. And I know it has already been discussed at length but holy shit it's annoying that Viv felt she had to justify why Stolas cheated by having him pushed to it by his
abusive wife, he was a lot more fun character when he was pictured as this overprivileged, horny asshole instead of a poor bby gay. It's HELL, it wouldn't be anything out of the norm to indulge in sinful actions. Hell (no pun intended), he and Stella could have both been actively cheating while being passive aggressive to each other due to their disdain over the arranged marriage and what made Stella so fucking pissed at Stolas is the fact that his current cheating material is a lowly imp.
>>1686701The king (actually, prince) character. Moxxie (the wife guy) and Millie functions pretty much as a juxtaposition to Stolas and Blitzo, since M&M are each other's wholesome ride or die while S&B are dysfunctional as fuck.
No. 1687195
>>1686796It's safe to say season 2 is going to just be about Blitz x Stolas. Fuck all the story building they did in season one with the human gov having proof of demons or Blitz making a bunch of high profile enemies
Also episode 2 was just about gay single dads and a jerk off tribute to Brandon Rodgers (writer of the show and voice for Blitzo)
I feel like people are just too afraid to give this show proper crit.
As for Stella, they absolutely did her dirty. She was completely justified in season 1. Viv didn't like people were holding her gay baby accountable and retconned it. Honestly I woulda liked Stolas more if he was just a horny rich dude taking advantage of someone below him. It's more realistic and easier to digest than this fujo crap
No. 1687298
>>1687195>It's safe to say season 2 is going to just be about Blitz x Stolas.True, and they will probably not talk about the elephant in the room that was the last episode in the previous season for another while because Viv and Brandon can't pace their stuff for shit. While the Brandon cameo was a fun gag, it didn't have to be a whole sequence that kinda put a weird stop to the supposed urgency in finding Octavia, and having Stolas just casually lusting for Blitzo during that whole tv show scene when his one and only daughter is out in L.A. in demon form in broad daylight was really tactless, especially when they had also shown him being anxious about it in the previous scene. Do they not read the script and see the inconsistencies in their characters and scenes? Both these scenarios could have been two separate episodes and wouldn't have felt so out of place.
>I feel like people are just too afraid to give this show proper crit.Idk about that, there are several videos breaking down their problems in the pacing and storytelling and - again - from what little I saw in the Helluva Boss reddit people were pretty honest with their criticism. However, because people can't straight up say "THIS IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE WORKED ON" it's all wrapped up with an equal amount of praise which gives the
valid criticism less impact.

>>1687298>However, because people can't straight up say "THIS IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE WORKED ON" it's all wrapped up with an equal amount of praise which gives the valid criticism less impact.It’s also the crowd that is salty about the series for dumb reasons that drown out the
valid criticism. I don’t think HH or Helluva are particularly GOOD but there are so many people ready to jump on anything they deem “
problematic” about the show that I could see Vivzie and the crew refusing to take ANY critique to heart when it’s being posted in the same circles where children with neopronouns and DID are passing around callout posts calling the show’s creator a pedophile for shit she drew or said as a teenager.
No. 1689830
>>1688200That's what I think too! It infuriates me that there has been literally 4 episodes of Stolas and Blitz showing that they're fucking gay (and I hope we don't get any more because we fucking get it, they're gay) as well as other minor moments in other episodes but none of it shows Stella's perspective, background or her relationship with Octavia. Somehow we're supposed to believe she's the bad guy because she screams at her husband for cheating around while they're both stuck in an arranged marriage, but I guess the arranged marriage is only bad for the poor gay boi and not the wife who's trying to keep it together.
There's a moment in the latest episode where Stolas is screaming at Stella through the phone and she asks if he's turning Octavia against her and he esitates, then proceeds to say that yes, he's turning Octavia against Stella. That rubbed me the wrong way honestly because isn't that one of the shittiest thing a divorcing parent can do? Manipulating a child for their interest? Why is Stolas the good poor gay dad who gets to have a redemption when he's objectively horrible (this plus they've shown us the he's pathetic as a husband, starts out not knowing how to talk to his now teenager daughter and strolls around while he's supposed to be finding her in the human world)?
No. 1689849
>>1689830>because isn't that one of the shittiest thing a divorcing parent can do?It is and it's really fucking weird the show is trying to make us like Stolas so bad and then the very next episode they show him being a garbage parent. Like hell, in loo loo land at least he was all the time by Octavia's side instead of going on a date with blitzo while his kid had run away.
I've seen several reviews pointing that fact too, the show tries to gaslight you with the whole pure uwu childhood gay romance and bawww my wife was so mean and
abusive shit but it's safe to say Stolas by now is canonically an asshole who cares more about blitzo's dick than his family and Octavia and Stella have every right to hate his guts, like lmao no wonder Stella was taking every chance to mock him to her friends and vent about her shitty husband she didn't even choose, being married to a self absorbed guy like that who puts 0 effort because hes Soo gay and so depreshud is hell for anyone. He sounds like a self absorbed pervert.
>Stolas is screaming at Stella through the phone and she asks if he's turning Octavia against her and he esitates, then proceeds to say that yesI saw someone yesterday theorize the writers may had taken inspiration from the Johny Depp/Amber Heard trial for Stolas and Stella and I'm starting to believe it now, i insist it does feels as they write shit like this to show how
toxic women are when they get divorced and it genuinely reminds me of the shit you'd read in reddit from loser moids who're bitter at their ex-wifes after they lost custody of their kids.
No. 1689961
>>1689849>in loo loo land at least he was all the time by Octavia's sideNot even then honestly. In that episode he kept his attention on Blitz (even invited him for horny reason, since it was shown that he didn't need protection) and made Octavia uncomfortable because he was too busy wanting to fuck him instead. He gets redeemed at the end, but the character development gets thrown in the trash in the latest episode only to repeat the same "growth" basically.
>I saw someone yesterday theorize the writers may had taken inspiration from the Johny Depp/Amber Heard trial for Stolas and StellaIf that's true that would be very retarded because they'd be painting Stolas as the
victim by taking inspiration from an alcoholic man who was found guilty once and faked the documents of the trial he was found innocent in.
No. 1690106
>>1689961>>1689972A lot of handmaidens believe Depp is a
victim because they're desperate to believe "not all men" and "women can just as bad." They're extremely eager to turn a blind eye to insurmountable evidence of a man being a literal demon to a woman, and just as eager to misinterpret a woman's desperate attempts to protect herself and her anguish over being abused as signs of her being
abusive, because they want to believe that there's no actual major discrepancy between male levels of violence and sociopathy and female levels of violence and sociopathy.
As much as they want to pretend that they're "feminists," or even just "pro-women," their "feminism" ends with occasionally reblogging girl-power posts on tumblr and making roughly the same sort of "men–can't live with them, can't live without them" sorts of comments that conservative women would make. They don't actually believe in misogyny or female oppression, unless it's coming from ancient politicians who they never knew or cared about. The HB Stolas shit comes from the same place. They want to believe in uwu poor misunderstood men who are actually
victims and had good reasons for any bad thing they've ever done, and they want to believe in evil, unreasonable women because it helps justify their "not all men" mindset.
No. 1690149
>>1689830As much as I agree with most of your post and all the issues regarding Stolas' character, I have to correct you on this
>she asks if he's turning Octavia against her and he hesitates, then proceeds to say that yesI had to go back and rewatch that scene to make sure I wasn't remembering it wrong, and Stolas actually says "No, I'm NOT turning her against you" and he answers yes to something else as Stella interrupts him, meaning the "yes" was regarding something else that we can't quite hear.
However I am so confused regarding Octavia's reaction to the whole circus, as hard as a divorce can be - especially one caused by a parent's infidelity - her reaction to it is one of a child that was under the impression that her parents loved each other and is trying to process the shock of the world she knew is crumbling down. I want to know more of her viewpoint of the family before the cheating so we can understand more of what's going on with her now. However my parents split fairly soon after I was born so I can't in general fully relate to divorce plots so I might be asking for too much.

Plus there are entire episodes about the parents being too tired to play or otherwise not available. We’ve been playing “mount mum” a lot lately…

>>1692901Yup. Viv had an obsession about throwing away a pretty interesting plot with a female main character to focus on her Gay bby Angel dust and how he's being raped by his pimp and had to be saved by a sleazy bar tender from the hotel.
Viv's excuse for throwing away the plot was to show a lesson about redemption.
Though it was a hard pass because she basically told the higher ups a drug addicted murderous mobster and a war criminal can be redeemed through the power of love.
Of course they told her no because they liked the original plot and Angel and his boyfriend need to be side characters

>>1693252To me it's kinda gross how gay/bi male characters in her show are disgusting pieces of shit (drug lords, mass murderers, war criminals and so on) and they can be seem as redeemable babies. But a cis straight woman cannot be redeemed for the crime of being bitchy because her husband cheated on her, tried to gaslight her into thinking it was her fault and then divorced her.
Viv is too deep in the fujo hole that a character isn't important to her unless they have a dick or are tools to make her ships look better. Like the two daughters in the show. Just there to show what good gay daddies they are. Hate it.

>>1701350Hi, transformers nut here and honestly I can’t get mad at this. In lore, even though the robots are “male presenting” there’s literally no point in having gender, actually in some of the lore (depending on which series/comics/ect.) they make females as an “anomaly”-to put it in the nicest way possible- and recently actually had a trans robot, mtf, because they were fascinated by females from other alien races.
It’s all weird, and I love my female robots but explaining them has always been a difficulty because there’s literally no need for “female robots”. Kinda wish transformers gone a similar route as SU with their alien races instead of making it a necessity to have to explain away the need for two genders in an asexual race

>>1716875It may also be because Disney has a thing for only showing positive emotions. Like, if a character looks too angry, Disney believes that it’ll influence the kids to act similarly or some shit.
I think this is why characters, despite being different ethnicities, creatures, ect. have the same expression for different emotions- because they have a “rule” on how characters look, and for women it’s even more strict

>>1717425It really feels kind of sexist actually. Like the men get to be men, but the women are balls of yarn? Really? Why couldn't the men be dogs or something?
And she never would have been accepted by those guys in the first place, thus able to get them to accept Lacey, if she hadn't have changed to fit in.
And, the least annoying thing about being a girly girl working with a bunch of bros is the mismatch between jokes and not being aggressive like them. It is so much worse on the sexism front.
And what about women who are aggressive asshats and make shitty jokes who would have naturally fit right in there?
So, it didn't really work for me.

here's the thing I don't get about all these race specific autists who demand such and such ethnic group be drawn a certain way, unless an art style is trying to be hyper realistic most 2d drawn characters don't look like actual human beings, especially characters in anime whose skull shape is more closer to something like a cat, but we suspend our disbelief and can accept that the characters being shown in screen are human beings, like picrel can be conveyed as a black person without having to draw him with big lips and detailed racial characteristics

Are you all ok in the fucking head? Cartoons, animation, stop motion characters, etc are NOT supposed to look like literal representations of any race, and CAN include exaggerated features. Look at paranorman's fucking head shape and facial features, does that look like the average white boy or is that just an exaggeration?
Why can't features be exaggerated as being bigger? In fact, wendell reminds me of aaliyahinterlude (influencer/y2k blogger) picrel. Black people in NYC or NOLA can be pretty mixed, but in the south? They're pretty fucking african.
i sometimes question if some nonnas on here have even seen deep dark skin black people IRL or if you all think they're mythical beings. These features are NOT jim fucking crow, jesus.

which features are racial ones and which features are "normal" ones? Everything is racialized technically. Nose, eyes, lips, skin, hair etc. Why are you so obsessed with race? There are so many black people that look like this, so why would it offend those who don't look like this?
If there are people who look like this, then no, it's NOT offensive. You do not have to relate to every character in how they look like.
>>1718035
>Paranorman looks much more like an actual white person than she looks like an actual black girl
what??? how is this not an exaggerated cartoonized version of a white person and wendell is somehow not cartoonized and is jim crowish? you can't tell me that wendell doesn't look like a cartoon version of aaliyah kek. I think you just genuinely have a racial bias and can't see the cartoon equivalent of a black person without getting triggered.

here's the difference between racist jim crow cartoon imagery versus fun
and goofy exaggerated features in cartoons that just so happen to be black. It's not fucking racist. All characters of any racial background get blown out proportions. Cartoons are not meant to be a 1:1 ratio of real people. jfc.

>>1718116From an artistic standpoint, I’d suggest either watching Sleepytime or Rain—maybe the former if you don’t have kids, the latter if you do. Both episodes are almost entirely instrumental and they’re just really beautifully done.
And yes nonnies I will defend this show to my grave. I will end any moid who even DARES to draw adult themed art of the Heelers—they are too good to be ruined like MLP!
No. 1718371
>>1718116I’d say it’s geared towards both children and parents, since many episodes have a B-plot about parental character development too. It’s a wonderful show but I don’t think it would be very interesting for adults who aren’t parents or teachers or otherwise involved with children or childhood development in some way. It’s different from shows like MLP where the characters go on adventures with their friends and adult viewers can sort of self-insert into the story.
>>1718147Same. I’m actually a little hesitant to Google pictures of the show because moid depravity knows no bounds and if I ran into rule34 of this show I think something inside me would snap.
Also Sleepytime always makes me cry. Same with Baby Race. My toddler falls over laughing at the baby bum shuffle while I’m just trying not to sob lmao

>>1719853IDK I feel something else would have ruined noelle at some point, she even said she was planning on sending Disney an idea about a princess being forced into an unwanted marriage with a selfish and arrogant prince and saved by a fierce female warrior. she's in love with being in a tragic queer romance where she can save her lover
from her own comics, everything we see about her and Molly is longing. gross, passive aggressive little comments about how she wants to save her from her boyfriend and be the sole object in her eyes when SHE wormed her way into the polycule. Sitting on the couch weeping as your 'girlfriend' fucks the people she's actually attracted to isn't brave or noble or kind, it's not love, it's infatuation.
No. 1719906
>>1719862I never got the feeling that Noelle thought she was "saving" Molly. Molly's straight relationship actually seemed healthier and happier than her relationship with Noelle, even in Noelle's comics. She wrote herself as lonely, longing, and barking up the wrong tree; All of which is true, but she currently is in denial that it "all worked out in the end," despite her clear increased mental health issues since she got together with Molly. Noelle's just another lesbian with severe internalized homophobia who thinks that the only kind of relationship someone like her can have (or even "deserves") is a
toxic or tumultuous one. She fell for Molly because Molly was the unattainable bi woman in a straight relationship who came from money, and because Molly gave her positive attention she didn't think she deserved. Molly chose Noelle over her long-term boyfriend because Noelle's career was taking off and being "queer" is in-vogue. They're both embarrassing losers, though, and I expect a messy divorce from them, in the future.

>>1719924AYRT and I fully agree. Noelle clearly doesn't understand healthy relationships, considering all of her lesbian pairings seem to be at least a little troubled or
toxic (except maybe the one that includes a character that could be a TIM, therefore not actually lesbian), and all her straight pairings feel like a kid's understanding of the relationship between their mom and dad (very vague, "they're in love, which means they are nice to each other"). I find it weird how I've met several lesbians in even radfem spaces who ship Catradora and will fight you if you say the relationship is
toxic, let alone
abusive (even though it is). I also find it weird how Catra is supposed to be Noelle, when Noelle is the one constantly chasing Molly and forgiving her for treating her like shit (more like Adora). And this is all without touching on the "what differentiates childhood friends to lovers and incest" debate, since it's not relevant to Noelle's IRL relationships. IMO, Noelle is absolutely a cow, but she's one of those cows that is a trainwreck, but mostly hurting herself. Because of that, I kind of want her to get better. She's like my personal Lucinda.
