This thread concerns creators, artists and others who work in the modern western American Animation Industry, filled with cows, hacks, groomers, woketards and self inserters who all know each other and/or have dated.

Some of the big name cows currently in the industry:

>Rebecca Sugar: Creator of Steven Universe, Drew Ed, Edd n Eddy R34, self inserted her brother into the show, claims to be a queer woman despite having a long term heterosexual relationship for her entire adult life

https://twitter.com/rebeccasugar

>Alex Hirsch: creator of Gravity falls, is dating Dana Terrace(who is the creator of Disney's The Owl House) where she also has her own self insert in the show, supported shipping of his self insert Dipper with his Lauren Faust self insert

https://twitter.com/_AlexHirsch

>Noelle Stevenson: Creator of She-Ra reboot and the comics series Lumberjanes, is married to Molly Ostertag (who is also in the comics industry), came out as non-binary in 2019 and in 2020 chopped her tits off and came out as "Transmasculine" and "bigender"

https://twitter.com/gingerhazing

>Julia Vickerman: Creator of 12 Forever, proving girls can do it too, and by It I mean your cousin, a NLOG who stalks teenage boys and tweets about how hot they are, was fired from her own show for mistreating and sexually harassing her co-workers, still active on Instagram though

No. 1371543

>>1371343
Because you can't just simply not apply labels to yourself if you don't believe in gender and just wear whatever you want whether you have tits or not because no one cares.. you have to physically destroy your body to adhere to society's view of gender, and then get pissed off and claim that society is forcing you into a box. s/

These people truly do create their own misery 90% of the time. I won't lie that society can be shitty sometimes, but they're just as obsessed with upholding gender roles as "transphobes" are.

Seems that Alex Hirsch and Dana finally broke it off. He tweeted asking if he should get a cat because he is living like a depressed ghoulish hermit and cannot take care of himself. The implication is that he is extremely alone. I can only the imagine the smell of his home. Unfortunately, he deleted the thread before I could cap it. Some people speculating about the breakup in there as well.

Bonus: He's interacting with random women cosplaying his shit on twitter since that's his type. Rebounding perhaps?

This cosplay is objectively terrible, Reagan would be makeup free and more disheveled than that, plus she doesn't have a nose piercing. Costhots are truly incapable of presenting themselves without 7 layers of makeup and 30 filters, even when the character calls for it.

I think Hirsch is a piss goblin, but Inside Job is an improved version of Rick and Morty imo. It has a well-written and likable female lead, explores the dynamics of a bad parent/child relationship without constantly going back to "but the parent loves them uwu", and 100% less incest "jokes". It's not original or great, but it's enjoyable.

Honestly I think episode 3 is pretty strong and conveys what the show wants to be better than the first two episodes. On the other hand, the show just might not be to your tastes, and that's fine.

It’s pathetic how she’s just barely self-aware enough to admit gender stereotypes are bullshit but also needs them to fuel her insecure navel-gazing and can’t give up the act. I wanna feel bad for her, but she’s literally inventing problems for herself at this point.

Trooning out and obsessing over gender labels is how these people avoid engaging with their real issues. A lesbian who coincidentally feels the urge to become a man right after getting cucked into a poly relationship by her wife for a moid clearly has zero self-esteem. She just posted a comic about being bipolar, which makes me wonder if she’s backpedaling from going full FTM to some flavor of NB because the idea to cut off her tits was fueled by a manic episode and she secretly regrets it kek

I think so… Maybe deep down she thinks that Molly still loves Jack or loved him more. Molly made a lot of lovey comic strips about their relationship and Noelle confessed to stalking her for a time >>1212795. She might be channeling her jealousy of what they had in her gender fuckery.

It doesn't help that Molly rarely makes comics like >>1212248 about Noelle. Even the one that she made recently about cooking references a past love and how much it hurts that he left despite having someone that loves you unconditionally now: https://ostertag.substack.com/p/sketchbook-5d8

Molly gives me serious "bi phase" energy. I don't think she would have married Noelle, or any woman for that matter, if being "kweer" weren't in vogue and Noelle didn't gain notoriety and significant income. I know anons here will say "but she definitely had sex with Noelle" (as if we actually know that for sure, or what it was like), but Molly always gave me the feeling she was a straight girl who was experimenting.

interesting milk i guess? i don’t know if it can be called milk since it’s decades old kek but in my opinion saberspark has some of the most boring, middling takes on animation that i can’t stand his videos. i’m sure some of his videos are informative but i just find him extremely boring.

i also hate the whole idea of a show being “ruined”, i think a lot of people who aren’t into animation or only watch his kind of content watch these videos and parade them as the ONLY reason why a show was cancelled or use them as a “reason” as to why a show sucked (or, of course, was “ruined”). i don’t know if that makes sense, this is kind of a word vomit.

samefag i could be wrong. i can’t be assed to watch any of his videos at this point, maybe he's improved since then. but the whole idea that a show is “ruined” for a single reason is stupid and i think there’s a better way to go about these kinds of videos. like i don’t think disney channel and sony pictures animation is “ruined” by any stretch and i think cartoon network and nickelodeon were fine until they focused more on streaming (like literally all studios and networks have been doing).

i think these kinds of ideas lead to the boring lukewarm takes that “cartoons were SO much better in the 80s/90s/early 2000s” i already see that a lot in this thread so i think some people might not agree with my post, but there was a lot of good then, and a lot of good now, too. it’s just a matter of personal taste and actually bothering to look for good shows now. i’ve seen a lot of people praise arcane, but on the other side of the coin netflix has shit shows like big mouth and q force. doesn’t mean that netflix is necessarily “ruined.”

I mean i guess it's pretty awkward to voice direct your ex but aside from that.. unless you're suggesting that hirsch himself had a hand in the tanking of TOH, which is pretty tin-foily to me lol

i'm not the biggest fan of TOH, i find it had a basic cool concept but the need for Deep Lore and Meaning because of the success of shows like Steven Universe really ruined it (the whole Ida's curse is a metaphor for mental illness / disability was such a retarded episode), but Dana is an industry veteran and you can't deny her talent, suggesting that she got her show greenlit because she managed to hold her breath long enough to shag Hirsch is too shitty even for lolcow

If I could say anything about owl house it'd be that it's completely inoffensive. It's so by the book that you can't even laugh at how bad it is. Because it is bad. But more importantly it's boring.
I heard the second season is an improvement, but after trudging through pretty amateur story telling I can't even bring myself to hate watch it. Then again I was bored of amphibia too, so I think this genre of cartoon is just suited for kids which is fine. Mediocre story writers trying to be deep and change the world with their kid cartoons instead of building a world kids actually want to be involved in will make all of these cartoons disappear into the ether.

yeah amphibia suffers from the safe faults as TOH imo, it clearly just wanted to be a funny gag tv show and when it's just that it shines, but then they shoved this deep lore into it and it's pretty cringe.

I can understand why Klasky was like that. She had children herself, and I think she saw the characters in the show in a similar way, like she was creating an alternate world.

I had to look up what you were talking about, but once I found it, I also found this "concept sketch" for the character made by Rebecca Sugar. I can't stop laughing at it, because it's such a bad sketch, and it feels like she made it horny somehow.
The character is Me-Mow, for those curious.

Not to cape for Rebecca because I really don't care for her or her art but concept sketches are often very rough. The idea is more important when you're at that stage. I think people would be surprised to see true concept art it's never as polished as "art of" books.

That being said weird sexy cat is a shitty concept.

AYRT And I know concept sketches are rough, my only income is from art. But this is really rough for how little she's actually conveying here, especially since she essentially just redrew a child's drawing but more sexualized.

So high guardian spice. Apparently the whole show was made by feminists only. It got shit reviews since it came out. But seems like the creator and staff of the show are reeing that the only people who hate the show are anti lgbt nazi's. Bonus points for them writing fake 5 star reviews with spelling errors also saying if you didn't like the show you are just an anti lgbt trans hating bigot. They managed to get it up to 2.5 stars, but it's slowly going back to 1 as more people are becoming aware of the shit show and the staff are not handling it well.

Created by Raye Rodriguez, a ftm feminist.

I think it's universal that everyone is fine with the character Snapdragon. But like all men he's written as a complete asshole until he's groomed by Rodriguez's self insert into changing gender. Because god forbid the idea that all the girls in the show can be manly and still be women, but if you're a girly man you're automatically just a girl.

Also Rodriguez is self inserting their trans character from High Guardian Spice into their next project. Also an admitted weeb and fujoshi. So spot on with anons saying they're porn sick

Snapdragon a young feminine male character who is uncomfortable with his sense of masculinity, especially compared to his great warrior father
throughout the show other characters(including his friend and an older teacher) try to "crack" his egg and imply he's trans which is very stunning and brave way to subvert toxic masculinity by telling boys they have to be trans if they like feminine things.

Probably a loud minority in combination with many different potential viewers sensing that it's part of a trend of extremely libfem shows that come from the same circlejerk of CalArts woobies. All the libfems have already watched Steven Universe qnd Gravity Falls and has no interest in watching the same things again (especially since they're pathologically deterred by women-centered projects, and they already watched very similar shows with male leads and more focus on male feefees), anyone else who isn't libfem has no interest to watch it at all, and all the TIMs that could have been drawn in by their little girl lesbian witch fantasy have already attached themselves to Little Witch Academia, and won't settle for a show that looks less anime, since it's not as easy for them to coom to.

"Theatre kid" is not incorrect. IIRC correctly the creator pitched this in a song (she didn't sing the entire time but she sang multiple songs in the pitch).

I'm glad there are people who have the same opinion on this character design. When I first saw the art and knew nothing about the movie, I thought that she was supposed to be a 30 year old woman. To be frank, I don't have anything against less attractive characters, on the contrary, I enjoy variety in character art. However, it's entirely possible to make an unattractive but appealing design, and there's something about the contemporary disney artstyle that bugs me and I can't put my finger on it.

More on topic, but I've found a compilation of various cartoonists' tweets that paint a pretty informative picture of the current animation industry and how out of touch many of them are. While the thread is focused on correlation between the numale face and people's political opinions, I thought you might find some of the pictures interesting/amusing.

the men can have various shapes and look like actual people/expressions, but the women have to have big eyes, tiny dot noses, soft cheeks, small chin. so there's no variety in design and "unconventional" or "ugly" women still feel cheated watching these movies because the loser character we're supposed to connect with is still unrealistically, generically cute.

I mean, dont you think its weird how everytime SJWs depict poc they always depict them as weird looking?. Like, with "cute" I don't mean I want Mirabel to look like a model, and there's nothing wrong with nerdy, "ugly" girls being represented, the problem is they're being represented with this hideous, wokeshit artstyle, you can design an unconventional, "ugly", lovingly made female character, and that counts as "cute" for me because the character is made with actual care and is charming, even Linguini is "ugly" yet I don't think he's hideous for a reason, I like the other characters of Encanto because they actually look nice to look at yet they aren't models neither. And is a known fact Colombians (and South Americans in general) didn't really like the protag girl because, again, she looks like an sjw mess and the movie is considered an american chashgrab, colombian girls don't deserve to have their representation be someone else's sjw self-insert.

Honestly, the "make things have more representation uwu" thing reads to me as "I'm a manchild/womanchild from a Western country (typically primarily English-speaking) who wants to feel good about my performance of allyship to minorities but doesn't want to actually consume foreign or less high-budget art". They only watch American-made movies and shows, anime, and sometimes Japanese/Chinese/Korean shit that shows up on Netflix, don't look into traditional art at all, and mostly only play AAA games, with only the occasional indie that was fished up and praised highly by the people who actually play indie games. It's hilarious (and maddening) to me when these idiots get offended that anime doesn't have more representation (it's mostly racially homogenized and the country is xenophobic+conservative), but then act like it's because all the characters are white (they're not lmao, they're all Japanese), and then seem to not have any issues with Asian live-action shows/movies having casts that are entirely racially homogenous, because they're too retarded to realize that an all Korean cast isn't progressive in a Korean-made show/movie. They're too stuck in their own cultural frame of reference to understand this incredibly basic concept. They don't realize that mental illness or social issues can't be accurately portrayed by a Marvel movie because it would alienate large parts of the audience, and that goes against their function. But they don't care, because this is a self-made problem by hyperconsumers who want to feel ethically superior for "holding up the underdog" or even "being the underdog", but don't want to take in any "imperfect" or biting art, and they don't want to give up their mass-appeal media and products.

This conversation of representation of culture in Encanto is reminding me about the fact that China absolutely LOVES king fu panda even though all of the cultural Chinese depictions are very Americanized and incorrect down to the smallest detail. Because the movie was out to be a love letter of Chinese kung fu movies and stars. So that does bring the question on wether representation of cultures MUST be perfect?

I think this is a modern problem that might have come from the internet and from "DO NOT FUCKING REPOST!!!" type of culture that happens in internet art communities.
I notice a lot of artists with mostly an online presence have a very "I made this, this is mine" mentality, and then they hold onto that mentality even when they're supposed to be contributing for a team project, even when the project is someone else's vision.

Nowadays, a lot of animators and other cartoon related job are people straight from tumblr and twitter, so obviously a lot of them are gonna have that type of entitlement.

Spoiler for kinda ot, but this type mentality is kinda like when you had that yansim wanabee project (Love Letter) and you had kids volunteering to make assets for it but then leaving and getting mad that the game was using the assets that they had volunteered to make.

I think Mirabel is cute when she's actually emoting and moving around. She has nice expressions and body language but her design doesn't work to sell toys. I'm sure little girls like the songs and like Mirabel herself but aren't interested in merchandise which is ultimately what the movie is supposed to sell. She also doesn't look her age but no one really does in that film. The mom and aunt and uncle are all about 50 and the flower sister Isabela is like 22.

i think that's specifically a western thing. say what you will about south park or family guy, but they were instrumental in legitimizing animation as an all-ages thing instead of just for kids in those countries. stuff like squidbillies, smiling friends, archer, actual good stuff with strong visual/auteur style and creator control is up to par with film animation. that's only in 2D animation though. the reason so much 3D animated tv is total garbage is budget, no one cares, it's "just for kids"
personally i think kids tv in the west underestimates children's intelligence and is wayyyy too shitty for anyone of any age to be watching. i'd rather my 5 year old see some old simpsons or an episode of aqua teen hunger force with the swears bleeped out.

Disney's feature films are meant for children too but their budgets & the production quality is much higher than TV animation. It's true that some "adult" cartoons have somewhat better production values than kids' shows but they're still pretty chintzy looking compared to feature animation. (I'm speaking purely of animation and art quality, the writing is something else altogether, and yes, a lot of kids' shows seem to be written by trolls)

TV animation schedules are brutal and even "cheap" cartoons tends to be costlier than live-action.

kek see i totally meant art quality (i agree actual animation is often "bad" but not always. superjail for example had excellent fluidity). animation aside, i think a strong personal style = better art, than something that is technically impressive. i.e. i honestly think squidbillies looks better than paw patrol.

yeah girls i know feature budgets are higher than tv. What i meant to say is that 2D is not automatically better than 3D, they're both mediums that have strenghts and weaknesses, it's not like one is higher quality by default.
You couldn't achieve the same sleekness and modern look of Spiderverse in 2D, and Snow White in 3d would look like ass, same with stop motion. I mean look at Klaus, they wanted SO BAD to achieve a 3d look that most of it it's a weird uncanney valley type of aesthetic that personally i think, while impressive for sure, looks really off

Sorry to necro your post, but a lot of Justin Roiland's projects have doses of that fixation on teenagers. Justin Roiland admitted that he's attracted to Summer, a 17-year-old girl he created in R&M, and she's the object of a lot of the fan-service. The last season had her having some fucking weirdass hardcore granddaddy issues and thirsting after Rick, not to mention Rick and Morty's literal breakup arc and whatever the hell messy shit they've got going on together in general. I don't think anyone could be shocked at this point with how little shits Justin Roiland gives in fiction considering how sexually-charged the first season was around even Morty. Fiction is fiction, but one would be hardpressed to deny that there are recurring themes in his shows.

well i hope he's writing less? i'm disappoined because in the normal episodes, summer is actually the only good person in the whole family. i thought that was an intentional small joke, like the 17 year old girl is the most responsible sane person in that group of shitheads.
i fully blame the sex/piss/pedo shit on him, because the "normal" fucked up humour in that show is usually fine in terms of sexism or feminism or if you're a lesbian watching.
correct me if i'm mistaken though. i don't work in the animation industry at all or know anyone in it.

He probably still has creative input considering he voices the main leads. Summer is as morally grey as the rest of her family; the writers are just more empathetic on her so her motivations end up softening her actions. She had no qualms giving people curses when she was working for the devil or taking over societies and plundering bodies. They all really take turns being the sane person. I've got a lot of gripes personally with how they wrote her in said Rick-thirsting season, because her characterization was legitimately so cringe-inducing and embarrassing that I wondered if someone was inserting their strange ship into the show, but I'm derailing.
I haven't watched many adult cartoons beyond R&M, Inside Job, Bojack Horseman, and the Seth Macfarlane trio of shows, so I don't have good sample quality to deny/confirm what you're stating. That being said, he confirmed he experienced CSA, so you can really take that with what you will.

Raye Rodriguez bitching and whining at the fact that people don’t like his show. “It was the budget” yeah honey, okay. It totally has NOTHING to do with the fact that Raye was a nepotism hire because his family is fucking stacked with a $4 million house.
Nothing to do with that at all.

High Guardian spice is WHY the entire animation industry who weren’t born into rich families or had to fight tooth and nail for their work visa fucking loathe nepotism hires. Most of the time the result is high guardian spice.

You can still write a good simple story and simplify your art style if there is budget constraints. These are all just shitty excuses because an audience doesn’t react well to a show directed by a trust fund baby who wanted to be a show runner who has no idea what the fuck they are doing.

Part of being a show runner or executive producer is working around your budget constraints and Raye fucking failed because he had a tantrum that he couldn’t do whatever the fuck he wanted!

I do feel somewhat for him. The objective fact is that he bit off more than he could chew. It can't feel good having the vast majority of the Internet shit on your first baby work.
That being said, Raye really should have recognized at a certain point that his HGS creation had outgrown him. He made these characters when he was a teenager. HGS could've performed better had he successfully pitched it to a different network like CN whose audience would've liked it, but even then, HGS is years outdated. From what I can see, he didn't do anything with those characters nor did he seem to do much original ongoing work outside of them. He just jumped right into the showrunner role after a couple of years of doing small animation work for other shows. Rebecca Sugar at least did comics and original animations of her own consistently, and she was a prolific writer on Adventure Time. She'd long established a name for herself through her different ventures. And even if she couldn't pitch it to a network and had to rely on an online following, VivziePop puts her right to shame.
In contrast, Raye has several credits as an animator and a character designer on IMDb, but none in writing except for an episode of HGS. I looked at the comics listed on his website, but they're just one-page quick ones.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did he seriously not do any ambitious original work of his own before diving into being a showrunner?

how disingenuous. yeah, you could argue the shit animation and voice acting, which people did complain about, was due in part to low budget and the pandemic. i'd say the hiring of staff based on their special identities played a pretty big part in having no storyline and episodes with all over the place, jacked pacing.
but the heart of the criticism was the use of the show as a vehicle for ideology, in-your-face repeated by the characters themselves (the twans scenes) and in tropes (friendship-relationship blurriness bewteen sage and pink hair protagonists, sage being conflicted between mainstream modern magic and ancestral nativr old magic). everything in the show tells you it was made by lib-feminism-possessed NPCs, like their long narcissistic rants about identity or their naïveté about a character coming into a class and being so special and excellent they go a year ahead, or their escape from their buttfuck nowhere village to a magical college town like going from the midest to Calarts. i can't even tell whether they chose to tell a story strictly about themselves or if they think everybody lives like them, but the self-infatuation that oozes from every part of the show puts me off regardless. the number one quality of a good storyteller is their interest in people that are different, and by that i don't mean they have a wacky hair color.
the only semi-interesting thing about all this is the headmistress embodied in 3 ages, but the execution was shit. they could have shown one, and then another, and have the characters confused at the age difference. it could have been an interesting mystery.

This may sound bad as someone looking for a career in animation, but I really have a hard time believing that a budget is what stops a show from being good. Like back when Trigger was a brand new studio, Kill la Kill had a low budget but it's still loved to this day because it had style and was funny. Utena, Sailor Moon, and if I'm not wrong, Panty and Stocking were also series with low budgets that are still loved to this day.

If you know what you are doing and have talented people, or at the very least people who know what they're doing, a low budget shouldn't have such a detrimental hit on your show. This includes writing and the actual animation itself.

I know it's a bit unfair to compare anime to cartoons because the work ethic and mentalities are a bit different but still.

Budget wasn't the only issue, apparently. According to his thread, it was also time constraints. Trying to go back and fix mistakes would just go over the budget. If you have a low budget, you can do fine with an experienced staff and patient overseers. Sailor Moon Crystal's first season is the best example I can think of where an under-experienced staff (that was outsourced from SE Asia, no less) and looming time-constraints doomed the animation quality. Beyond the budgeting and time issues, it's more questionable whether the staff members were experienced or if they were newbies. Layering issues, sure, I can brush aside as not enough time to look back at mistakes. However, some of the animation mistakes were things only novices would do.

the type of women who make these shows always think there's some kind of pressure to have big boobs despite 90% of women having small ones. that's the reason for all the flat-chest designs.

Wait, this doesn't make any sense. Does this mean Perfuma would have to fuck Scorpia for that child to be born?, and that Scorpia would bear the baby?, wouldn't that be an extremely disphoric experience for Perfuma as a troon or something, complete with womb envy?, this is wrong on so many levels.

No. 1422966

>>1422834
I'm not saying it doesn't suck to have big boobs but the lack of emphasis on the boobs is probably more about it being a kids who and the calarts shape language thing. Emphasizing the breasts beyond the main shape of the chest would break up the lines more and they probably didn't think it would be worth the effort just to animate something for little girls who probably wouldn't care about that anyways.

Can anybody figure out why eastern 2D animation, particularly anime, looks so much more “fluid” or life like than western? I’m not even a big fan of anime, like, at all, but it’s just jarring to see American top rated cartoons in comparison, even when both art styles are simplified

No. 1423836

animators have much better rights in the west, while japan prides itself on crunch culture, so animators are paid a lot less and have much worse working conditions (exceptions like kyoto animation treat their stuff well and work on a restricted budget BUT take long time for production and don't release more than 1 series every 2 years usually). The best middle is france, where animators are fairly treated, but less expensive than the USA because of living being less expensive and animation being partially fund by the government.

No. 1423863

Literally. Like working around a low budget is one of the first things you are taught in animation school because your projects don’t have a lot of time and budget. That’s why animation school is sort of appealing to employers because you are taught this shit. Didn’t Rodriguez go to SVA with their wealthy as parents as benefactors? Didn’t they get taught this? Or did they do an anger in their pants when they were told they couldn’t draw their OC’s all the time? I’ve seen a few really popular artists throw away specifically SVA $60k scholarships because they weren’t allowed to constantly draw their OCs. These cows are so pathetic.

I'm late to this party but … is the Centaurworld creator a troon? My partner works in animation so we watch a lot of cartoons but were not interested in this one at all, it creeped us both out so we avoided it until one of her bosses/coworkers insisted everyone on the team give it a look. We sat through the first episode and it was so uncomfortable and we both felt like this was made by a troon.

yeah, I can do that. I see the project is led by a complete idiot who ruined it for the 'REAL HUMAN BEINGS' who had to slave away on it. if you have so little money, simply simplify your designs and they will be cheaper and easier to animate (like pic related). you can simplify your backgrounds too.
ironically MLAATR is better received in Japan despite not trying to be animu, even having an industry master like Yoshinari drawing tons of fanart of it. why? because it succeeds as an animation, it does things right that HGS doesn't do.

I don't know exactly how the working process goes but maybe also most anime being adaptations of manga means they can spend a bit less time on writing and planing and have more time to focus just on animating (and even then have already a sort of headstart if you consider the manga panels as a sort of "proto-storyboard")

There were a single comic page, some art (esp. sagexmary shipping from the author) and a redraw that scene meme page. Basically no consistency and I'm sure High Guardian Spice could've been something had she made an actual comic out of that (even a one shot with no plot, just daily lives) and get more chances for her pitchs to be successful at other studios.

I only now got around to watching this shit and how come the backgrounds are so ridiculously detailed and the animation can be really good for a TV series but literally everything else is shit? I'm not buying this boo-hooing about the budget for a second. The characters constantly look dead-eyed because that's how they were designed to be - ugly, clunky and dead eyed. There's nothing wrong with the animation, it's clear that it's the storyboarding, writing, character designs and voice acting that suck about this show and none of these things can be fixed with money besides hiring someone experienced to save it, but it's clear that Raye Rodriguez wanted this to reflect her own vision that just was all over the place. So in other words it was never going to be saved by a bigger budget. This was money down the drain and it makes me angry that something of value could've been done with it.

The teacher grooming Snapdragon to transition instead of working out his problems with himself and his childhood abuse was seriously creepy as fuck and I can't believe troons see this as a positive approach. I also have no problem with an all-lesbian cast in theory but outing both Sage and Thyme in a childish manner in a matter of one goddamn episode and teasing them about their crush like it was a kids' show made it look tacky and pandering instead of something that felt natural. This was someone's self-indulging fanfic from middle school that got picked up due to nepotism and nothing else, it's sad that a good idea (besides using Crunchyroll to market and fund it, that was a terrible one) had to be ruined by abusing it as a mouthpiece for hammering in preachy messages lacking any sort of nuance or tact, taking you away from the main story that remains full of plot holes and rushed decisions. I'm honestly seething over how much resources it wasted instead of them being redirected towards something worth half a shit.

Sage for responding to an old post, but Shiro Scorpia wasn't the only thing that looked lifted from VLD to me.

That could just be me noticing things and tinfoiling though, because even 80s Hordak sort of resembled the 80s Galra/Drule and cartoons tend to have various defining looks throughout the ages.

I'm still trying to figure that out myself, but I think it was the place and time. "Rival" ship are always a thing, and VLD came out at the most unfortunate time. Post-Korra where a main character was canonized in a same sex relationship, combined with the peak of woke SJW culture on Tumblr. Now that some rep had happened in canon on a show, the entitlement flew through the roof. This is compounded multiple times over by VLD being made by Korra alumni, so the entitled salivating fans were expecting Korrasami but with males. As expected, tantrums were thrown when they didn't get what they wanted. VLD was a flawed show, but honestly, I kinda feel bad for the staff. They didn't deserve nearly half the shit they got from the "fans".

People might just be pleased that an adult animation show is at least decent and doesn't try to be anything it's not.

She sent droves of followers to harass him in the process and never acknowledged how it was wrong to use her influence this way. A few years before that she had a public relationship with another guy in animation. I am hazy on the details if anyone else remembers names, but she caught him DMing another artist. Without checking up on it she put them both on blast on Twitter for cheating. The other girl claimed she never accepted any advance from the guy or participated but it was already too late and she ended up being driven off Twitter permanently because of Marie.

Yeah they tried hard to write him as a wise character but he was hardly a mentor for Stephen and their relationship would have been the same if he was some chill teenage character with a van.

you're right; greg is a shitty dad in the sense that he wanted steven to have the idealized version of a childhood he wanted to have at 10 (not going to school, going on adventures, etc), but as far as providing nothing in the show actually suggest he's not a good parent. I think it's an actually interesting angle to explore, the fact that even when you do your very best, by trying to give your child every chance you supposidely didnt have you still can end up fucking them up.

so this isn't a personal opinion but the Proud Family: Louder and Prouder is..bad. Poor animation, it's desperate to seem woke to the point of embarrassment, Sticky is gone, the slang is never ending when the OG never dated itself like that
here are some actual slang used in just one episode
"zaddy"
"Black Girl Magic"
"ratchet"
they reference memes from like 2018, "what are those" "bottle cap challenge" and wizard kelly does the wobble

But this part of the comment reminded me of how TRA’s are racists and love to say how “manly” black women are and use them as shields.

I cannot think of another children's show where the disabled character is the rude dick like that and called out for it lol.
But the other side of this medal is that everyone is SO MEAN, the dad is a dick, the grandmother is a dick, the kids are so aggressive and the girls are "nagging", it's even super racist against east-asians characters..?

Glad someone else feels the same about season 6. I remember being stoked when it was announced and then I watched it and I thought it was boring. You're right how the dynamic between the girls felt very off. I also personally didn't like the "updated" art style. I feel they went a little too hard-line anime and they just looked weird to me and I much prefer the old 2000s style where it was western animation with a hint of anime. The only good thing about season 6 was that they were able to get the OG voice actors to reprise their roles but that's about it.

Eh not really. The only difference between them and others is that they have money and nepotism to make their OCs into shows. Doesn’t mean it’s good though but no one is required to be 1000% original considering we have so many streaming services that need shows— good or bad

Depends on if they are coming from a place of genuinely having stories from their childhoods that provided valuable life lessons for others to use. Otherwise it is just masturbatory.

No there hasn’t because self - acceptance is easier for an audience than self- improvement which implies that there’s something wrong that needs to be fixed and I have yet to see actual character growth in children's media that wasn’t just the character literally growing up or gaining more power but not addressing their own negative internal traits in any meaningful way.

Does anyone remember Matthew Jay from Cartoons 101 and the Deep End? I used to follow his patreon where he went from a stereotypical woke moid talking about nostalgic cartoons to going nuts and never being able to stay on topic ones Covid hit. His personality shifted from le friendly Youtube guy to constantly going on edgy rants about how the virus was making him lose faith in humanity. He had Mr. Enter/Pan Pizza style delusions about one day getting his own cartoon show even though he could not draw for shit, which lead him to go on rants about how cartoons needed outside writers instead of letting the storyboard artist do it. The weird part was that he was living in Burbank with two actual successful TV animators (clearly kind of a leech in this situation) and got pretty notable industry people to be on his podcasts. Eventually, he just completely lost it and deleted his Youtube, Patreon, and all his podcast episodes and disappeared completely. I kind of suspect he got Metooed or otherwise cancelled but I've never been able to find anything for sure.

Today's animators have spent so much time roasting their brains over the coals of le epic animu and have somehow been convinced that cartoons can portray serious themes when FROM THE BEGINNING animation as a medium is something meant to portray cats being hit by bricks. Being exposed to too many serious themes in cartoons at a young age can cause children to believe that cartoons are real beings with feelings and thoughts that they may some day marry and even have sex with. Japan and France were the first to make serious cartoon features so that's why this "waifu" business is such a problem in those countries in particular.

One thing that drove me particularly nuts about Bojack is how clearly his mother had a way more fucked up and traumatic childhood than him, but still managed to ruin less people's lives. Yeah, she fucked up with Bojack, yeah she didn't care in the end and dying alone is usually how it goes for these women but it felt like he was just blaming being a heaping pile on only his mommy issues, even though his father was the piece of shit that ruined her (if we want to play the blame game. Had she never met him she would have married rich and lived a happier life, instead of being knocked up by a loser and to traumatized to get an abortion).

It's like modern animation is just scrotes animating their mommy issues for the masses. The villain went from some textbook supervillain doing bad things to your mom being a bitch

If someone (adult or child) is shown an image of something so absurd or implausible it couldn't happen (like a mouse eating a wedge of cheese and assuming its shape), they will understand that the character exists only in the cartoon. Conversely, an image of a serious situation (like a cartoon representation the American founding fathers signing the Constitution), they will experience a subconscious confusion that may lead them to believe that the cartoons are living, breathing beings that may leave the screen and, yes, copulate with them.

It was going to get an OVA animated by Toei at some point. Same look, just not with that prototype Adrian.

true, felix as many fans dubbed him as, looks better tbh. Although, many fans would disagree on the opinion. the characters in the anime looks older, which i like, and i like that there's better background or architecture than the ones in the show.

So this is interesting, an article about the ever increasing porn artwork of children's cartoons characters, how the trend came to be and how some of these artists are now being hired by major animation studios

>Kids’ TV has a porn problem


>Rule 34 of the internet: “if it exists, there’s porn of it.” It’s unclear exactly when or where this idea originated — sometime in the ’00s — but in the end it was less of an observation than it was an edict. The internet took it as a challenge, an idea that must be made reality. Many it treated as something of a college-frat-boy joke, something with which to shock and entertain their friends.

>Other members of the internet had a more specific interest in it. And so they went to work.
>Rule 34 meant Strawberry Shortcake porn. It meant Arthur porn. Thomas the Tank Engine porn. Caillou porn. Dora the Explorer porn. Avatar: The Last Airbender, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Phineas and Ferb, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Animal Crossing porn. Ben 10 porn. SpongeBob SquarePants porn. Doug porn. Kim Possible porn. Ducktales porn. Powerpuff Girls porn. Even Bob the Builder porn. And so on and so forth.
>At times it took on an almost automatic, mechanical quality — simply going down the checklist. A certain sector of the internet felt a pressing need to “corrupt” as many things as they could, however they could, as much as they could. As the Twitter user gravislizard wrote in a viral tweet thread last year: "There was a formula. Nobody knew where it came from, but it seemed to have been there forever. The response to /all/ cultural phenomena was to create something deeply cynical and usually violent and we were doing it like we were punching a clock. The laughs were forced"
>During this early era, the one upside was that these underground online groups were comfortably separate from the mainstream. The subculture of kids’ cartoon “corrupters” was a world away from the community of legitimate children’s animators on the internet. Rule 34 existed, and kids could find it if they tried, but it wasn’t the fundamental force underlying the spirit of the online cartoon community.
>Eventually the Rule 34 project slowed, partly because the novelty wore out and partly because the mantle was passed onto people who didn’t require any such label. People who had spent long enough on the internet to naturally embody the darkest version of the ideal set forth in the Rule — and like it, too.

>What’s the worst that could happen?

>When My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic first started airing in 2010, it quickly gained a following of adult male fans who called themselves “bronies.” There’s nothing inherently wrong with that. But as Gianna DeCarlo described in her Baltimore City Paper post “The problem with bronies: a look at the corruption of ‘My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’ ”:…the problem with bronies has nothing to [do with] grown men liking a children’s cartoon and everything to do with their usurping of a safe space for young girls and distorting it into a hypersexual and toxic environment for these younger fans.
>The adult fanbase of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has become legendary for the vast ocean of pornography they’ve created of the TV show’s cast of small cartoon animals. For years, it’s been easy for kids to find disturbing sexual imagery of these characters just by looking up their names on Google Images, even with SafeSearch enabled. Search anything My Little Pony related and you’ll quickly come across extreme fetish art. According to Ule Lopez of Geek Reply: “there is a dedicated section to child pornography in sites like Derpibooru and FiMFiction. This category is known as ‘Foalcon.’ ”
>Another famous example of brony excesses is, as Nicky Vaught of Technician described, “Molestia … [the] parody character of the show’s character, Celestia. The site, Ask Princess Molestia, operated in blog format, [and] often dealt in pornographic fan art — of cartoon ponies — and even more often in rape and molestation jokes.” He went on to quote a member of the My Little Pony fan community who petitioned for the deletion of Ask Princess Molestia as saying, “I recently babysat a child who … upon seeing my massive My Little Pony collection, ran to my Friendship is Magic shelf and started naming them … Once she got to Celestia, she told me she rapes people.”
>Children who grew up in the 2010s are natives to the internet. Even by 2011, studies showed that one-fourth of children under age 6 used the internet and 59% of those aged 6-to-9 logged on daily. It’s second nature for this generation of kids to keep up with their favorite children’s programs online, or even to follow the social media accounts of those shows’ creators. But the safe space that a show like My Little Pony offers children on television is missing on the internet, where official art rubs shoulders with “Molestia,” and an official YouTube video is likely to lead straight to the site’s darkest reaches.
>According to some experts, the potential dangers of children being exposed to porn include depression, social anxiety and self-harm. Discovering porn at a young age — when children often have poor impulse control and difficulty parsing their emotions — can also lead to porn addictions. On top of that, in a 2013 study by Middlesex University, 276 submitted papers showed that “children and young people who view pornography tend to hold less progressive gender role attitudes.” Many of the more positive studies are, at most, merely inconclusive. The whole situation has led feminist writer Judith Shulevitz to state in The New York Times: “It’s O.K., Liberal Parents, You Can Freak Out About Porn.”
>Eventually, brony antics expanded beyond just internet porn and overflowed into the physical world. My Little Pony conventions attended by its young fans were also frequented by inhabitants of the internet’s sewer, buying and selling things like erotic bodypillows of the show’s cast. There was a notable child stalking scare at one such convention. Elsewhere, the brony ToonKriticY2K made news for allegedly grooming a fourteen-year-old girl over the internet and soliciting explicit photos from her. These are the inherent dangers of making a children’s space “hypersexual and toxic,” as DeCarlo put it.
>Kids’ TV animators have had many reactions to the proliferation of porn of their work over the years. Bemusement, amusement, winks and nudges. However, one reaction that’s been difficult to find has been condemnation. Whatever their opinion of it, they often shy away from such public pronouncements. Some may feel powerless to change the situation. Others could be taking a more pragmatic view. Why appear prudish or anger part of the fanbase when, most likely, it will have little-to-no effect on the speed of the porn creation?
>In fact, if anything has changed since the early years of Rule 34, it’s been in the opposite direction. While groups like the bronies were making the connection between porn and kids’ TV animation almost mainstream, the link was growing inside the industry as well. Today, online porn, whether created by fans or by the staff themselves, hasn’t just become a normal part of the children’s TV community. It’s become acceptable.

>Going mainstream

>More than at any time in history, creators are available to interact with fans online. And fans are more aware of them than ever. On sites like Fandom, they create lists of storyboarders and which episodes they’ve worked on. They maintain vast databases of the ins and outs of their favorite properties. And they keep up with creators’ social media accounts. Alex Hirsch of Gravity Falls has joked about the huge number of young children who contact him on Twitter — kids who see animators as “halfway between artists or Santa Claus.”
>So what might a young cartoon fan of today discover when they venture online to engage with their favorite show?
>Suppose a child liked the way that Batman looked in DC’s Justice League Action and wanted to find out who designed him. A quick name search on Google of the show’s lead character designer, a man who got his start at John Kricfalusi’s studio Spümcø, brings up a wall of his porn artwork. Meanwhile, the creator of Cartoon Network’s Mighty Magiswords currently follows porn artists and erotic models on his professional Twitter account that he uses to interact with fans. Because Twitter has spent years training its algorithm to close the gap between people you follow and the accounts they follow — whether through “Like” histories or random recommendations—this is enough to send such content into a kid’s feed.
>Inside fan communities, it’s not just bronies who pump sexualized fan art into the mainstream anymore. Children’s cartoons like The Loud House — Nickelodeon’s hit show by Chris Savino — already have thriving groups of adult artists creating fetish art ranging from inflation to lolicon of the 6-year-old Lana Loud, all of which is accessible with an innocent Google search of her name. (Inflation, as cartoonist Ryan North explained for the adult website Oh Joy Sex Toy, is a sexual fetish involving people who swell like balloons.) On YouTube, viral videos like “Lynn X Lincoln💕” and “The Loud House Characters as Anime,” each weighing in at 2.2 million views, reimagine the show’s cast of children in disturbing ways. The former shows a post-coital scene between 11- and 13-year-old siblings as the sister wonders whether she could become pregnant.
>Today, creators of sexual or outright pornographic fan works based on children’s TV often mingle with the official production staff. Consider Mike Inel: his hit video “What if ‘The Amazing World Of Gumball’ was an anime” boasts 33 million views and an endorsement from showrunner Ben Bocquelet himself. What Bocquelet may not have known is that Inel (aka manyakis) also openly has a career making hardcore porn based on Gumball, Gravity Falls — particularly 12-year-old protagonist Mabel Pines — and many other children’s TV properties.
>The ascension of such artists into the mainstream animation industry is ongoing. Some of them got their start all the way back in the Rule 34 era.
>A good example is ZONE-SAMA, one of the premier Rule 34 artists who has maintained popularity into the present day. ZONE rose to prominence by making extreme porn animations of children’s TV shows in the 2000s and 2010s, often with shockingly accurate recreations of each cartoon’s art style. Targets included Foster’s Home, My Life as a Teenage Robot — one of which features the gang rape of protagonist Jenny—Teen Titans and beyond. Since around 2016, one of ZONE’s recurring subjects has been Peridot, a child-like character from Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe. Around that time, ZONE was also hired to animate for Cartoon Network’s OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes.
>And ZONE is part of a trend.
>A surprising amount of the new blood in the animation industry got its start on Newgrounds, a content hosting and social media website where users can post their own games, music, drawings and videos. Since 1995, its community has been notable for its freewheeling anti-censorship spirit, shock-jockery, and, once again, porn. ZONE is one of its most iconic contributors. For the site that gave the internet post-9/11 Flash games, the “Barney Bunch” and interactive Rule 34 games starring 10-year-old Gwen Tennyson, the transition into mainstream animation is quite a leap.
>Studio Yotta, a rising star in the animation industry, was founded by Newgrounders earlier this decade. It frequently employs freelancers from a hiring pool of Newgrounds alumni. Yotta has overcome its humble origins and managed to find work on things like ThunderCats Roar, OK K.O.! and even the opening animation to Disney’s new Amphibia. The company embodies the clan pride common to Newgrounders, a desire to stick together against the world, to maintain the common roots that tie them all together. When Yotta was hired to work on the OK K.O.! shorts, they brought ZONE along for the ride. Similarly, animators like the popular porn artist and ex-Newgrounder Ryan Miller contributed to Amphibia’s intro.
>While many of the artists in Yotta’s orbit are simply struggling animators trying to get by, the Newgrounds diaspora is messy. Its tight-knit culture makes it hard to cut off the darker sectors of the community. A number of Yotta-connected artists (including the animator Chris O’Neill) still associate with Shadman, the most infamous porn artist from Newgrounds and perhaps the internet itself. Labeled by Gizmodo as “one of the alt-right’s favorite artists,” Shadman is the Rule 34 artist’s Rule 34 artist, a man who has complained of the legal troubles he faced for creating degrading porn based on the 12-year-old actress Dafne Keen from Logan. For years his work has put young girls from cartoons like The Loud House and Ben 10 in nightmarish and often inventively violent — even fatal — sexual situations.
>The founders of Studio Yotta continue to follow Shadman on Twitter. Another Newgrounds alumnus with ties to Cartoon Network, Arin Hanson of Mighty Magiswords, has openly collaborated with him in the past. This is simply normal communal behavior for Newgrounds ex-pats, regularly done without a second thought. But it’s concerning when fringe online figures like Shadman and ZONE — also a Hanson collaborator — get so near to the mainstream children’s cartoons they pornographize for a living. It represents a sea change in what kids can expect to find in children’s animation communities, and, in some cases, maybe even in the shows themselves.

anon, this is not new. porn parodies of comic characters existed and were sold for cheap all the way back in the 1930s, called Tijuana Bibles, some featuring Popeye and Archie characters. The creator of Wonder Woman had a bondage fetish and a career in pinup (this may not be exact, I am just recalling trivia I amassed over the years). Disney employees too. Even early fan fiction zines were rife with what was essentially yaoi, some of which was explicit, and many fans have “graduated” to become industry workers, one example being Richard Williams who started as a fan and went out to seek tutoring from Disney’s Nine Old Men. To pretend adults aren’t the ones making cartoons is disingenuous. The problem really is more about content moderation and filtering online, and even then the tech giants play a part as much as the individual user (see: spiderman and Elsa videos just being allowed on YouTube unscathed). The individual’s part is making sure to tag appropriately and parents actually looking at what their brats are doing on their babysitting-substitute iPad. While I agree kids are seeing things they shouldn’t and I was one such kid, this whole article reads like moralfagging. Rule 34 was a term coined based on observation of people’s behaviour on the internet, not vice versa.

I’d much rather judge animator cows on shit like what Julia Vickerman did or Noelle Steven son’s disastrous love life, rather than just regular pervert monki behavior. Humans were scrawling sex and dick jokes on the walls of Pompeii, pretending this is new is just dumb

I understand the point your trying to make, but the whole "humans have always been horny and making porn" is the same logic that coomers use to justify their porn addictions and besides, there's one important difference between the zines of old and current rule34, fetishists had to actively go out and seek it but the sheer quantity of cartoon porn is unavoidable, I was 11 when I first came across as pinkie pie(a MLP character) porn, children shouldn't have to experience that

I agree with you, and maybe I phrased my point wrong. I do think the current accessibility is a problem; at the same time I know from boomers and Gen Xers I have talked to or read autobiographical material from that they still sought to access their uncle or dad’s hidden porn stash or fiddled with their tv antennas to access porn tv channels (which is not specifically cartoon coomershit, but it is coomershit) The taboo aspect and shock value is what gets some teens to keep looking at the content and some end up as coomers and others don’t. There’s more nuance and psychological/environmental factors to it than I think most people grant the topic.

My actual point is this article does not read like it’s addressing the actual problems- people using tech as surrogate entertainment or enrichment for their kids, tech giants not addressing the accessibility of content, everything being normalised instead of being properly flagged and contained to specific sites or tags- it just reads as “adults are doing freaky drawings and then they become ANIMATORS! Aren’t they all pedos!” Which for the most part, no, they aren’t. You will have your Julia Vickerman and your John Kricfalusi, but pedos can exist and take shelter in any industry (priests, even). The overall vibe of the article is similar to “videogames cause violence” rhetoric, which to me draws attention away from other dangers.

I dunno, I just don’t think it is correct to want to sanitize artists. I do think boundaries must be enforced and if you’re gonna draw coomershit, especially Rule 34, it’s your responsibility to keep it completely separate and block underage users if you for example have a separate account for it, but pretending the drawings by themselves are a danger, when explicit art has existed for so much of human history, feels like an oversimplification.

the rest of the article

>“I say bring it on”

>The most high-profile figure to hop from the online Rule 34 scene into children’s TV, though, isn’t ZONE or anyone else from Newgrounds. Surprisingly, it’s the creator of one of Cartoon Network’s largest hits this decade: Rebecca Sugar, showrunner for Steven Universe.
>Steven Universe over the years.
>Sugar got her start in cartoon fan communities during the 2000s, posting fan art to social networks like LiveJournal. Way back in 2007, her technical skill caught the eye of Cartoon Brew’s Amid Amidi — who also reported on the “disturbing” nature of much of Sugar’s work at the time. Specifically, Sugar created Rule 34 art. Among other things, she drew comics that portray the awkward, vulnerable sexual encounters of preteen characters from the Cartoon Network show Ed, Edd n Eddy. The work, which is still floating around the internet, fixates on the inexperience and uncertainty of its subjects, on the uncomfortable blurred lines of sex at a young age.
>But Amidi’s prediction that Sugar had “a bright future” came true. Just two years later, in 2009, she was hired to Adventure Time as a storyboarder, and she quickly made the jump to showrunner status with Steven Universe. For an artist from the online underground scene, it was a rare honor.
>Critics have hailed Steven Universe as a new standard in storytelling, emotional complexity and representation in kids’ TV. It made history as the first children’s cartoon to portray a same-sex wedding. Sugar was able to do this by very smartly creating characters who would allow her to bypass the old-fashioned censors of LGBTQ+ content at Cartoon Network. While the alien race in the show — the Gems — identify as female, they are technically genderless holograms projected by living rocks. This distinction allows the show to explore many different aspects of gender and sexual orientation usually rendered off-limits by the old guard of children’s TV.
>However, at the same time, the appearance of many Gems as very young — though they are technically hundreds or thousands of years old — is used to explore sexual situations involving child-like characters.
>Gems in Steven Universe can fuse, a dance-like activity that allows two or more of them to form a single, larger being. The show uses fusion as a metaphor for many things — friendship, romance, companionship. But it’s also used at times as a rather blatant metaphor for sex. Take fusion scenes like the one in “Sexy Fuse,” a YouTube upload with 4.3 million views. It’s thinly-veiled enough that many of the kids in the comments openly (via abundant emoji and confused typing) express discomfort with it. This makes fusion somewhat alarming when it’s mixed with Steven Universe’s younger-looking and -acting characters.
>Peridot, despite being an alien, looks and acts just like a child. Her unique mannerisms have been hailed by fans as an all-time-great example of neuroatypical representation in children’s cartoons.
>One scene from the episode “Log Date 7 15 2” is a good example. The character Garnet invites the younger and less worldly Peridot, a Gem who has never fused before and is uneasy about the idea, to fuse with her and learn what all the fuss is about. The child-like Gem tumbles backwards, blushing and flustered at the come-on. Uncertain at first, Peridot works up her courage and decides to go through with it. Garnet puts on music and Peridot straps paint cans to her feet to keep up with her taller partner. But Peridot’s inexperience and awkwardness quickly leave her overwhelmed, and she calls off the fusion before it’s finished.
>In another episode, the half-Gem protagonist Steven goes to the beach with his romantic interest — a 12-year-old human girl named Connie who’s two years his junior. While flirting, they accidentally fuse into the more mature-looking Stevonnie. Steven’s Gem mentor Pearl declares this “inappropriate,” but Stevonnie states that it “feels amazing.” Later, though, the two halves of Stevonnie have a moment of uncertainty. “Are you okay? We can stop, if you…” says one side.
>One of the most disquieting plotlines related to fusion comes when Pearl, under false pretenses, tricks Garnet into fusing with her multiple times. Pearl says that she “couldn’t help” herself, and continues, “When we fuse, I can feel what it’s like to be you… confident and secure and complete.” Her actions lead Garnet to split into two halves — each one a smaller Gem with a preteen appearance — who struggle to deal with the fallout of pseudo-sexual betrayal. Child-like characters are placed once again into a vulnerable position in a landscape of blurred lines and uncertain boundaries. In the end, Pearl is accepted back into the fold with no lasting repercussions.
>These aren’t the usual adult jokes buried in subtext for the grown-ups in the room. They aren’t even jokes — they’re explorations of troubling themes, executed in often-troubling ways. Despite the merits of Steven Universe, and despite its progressive handling of gender and sexual orientation, the show’s missteps into disturbing territory can’t simply be brushed aside.
>But Steven Universe was a hit with the internet. Like My Little Pony, Cartoon Network’s show has drawn an online fanbase of adults outside its core demographic. And this fan community, like the bronies, has become notorious for filling the internet with porn in every configuration, especially of young-looking characters like Peridot. To call this environment hypersexual is almost an understatement. Google Images is a minefield, and any attempt to engage with Steven Universe on social media quickly runs into an endless river of erotica.
>The comparison between the two fanbases wasn’t lost on certain spectators, including Ian Jones-Quartey, co-showrunner of Steven Universe and romantic partner of Rebecca Sugar. In 2015, he shared a fan comic on the subject and remarked that it was “exactly” how the situation looked to the show’s team:
>At the time, the Steven Universe fandom was attempting to drive bronies from the show’s online communities. Jones-Quartey highlighted the comic’s message that the two fandoms had more things in common with each other than not.
>His remark was already a step beyond the general silence that the My Little Pony staff has maintained about the porn culture around their show. But Jones-Quartey went further a minute later. In a since-deleted follow-up tweet, he seemingly supported the fans’ work: “not that i have anything against risqué fanart btw. I love it all, even the gross stuff. it’s fun!”
>Jones-Quartey’s comment was in line with his past statements on the subject. The director — himself a veteran of Newgrounds, and now in charge of OK K.O.! on Cartoon Network — has encouraged fans on Twitter to push the envelope with their fan art. In a three-tweet thread from 2014, he remarked that the Steven Universe writer’s room “is waaaay sicker than stuff I see on tumblr.” He drew a comparison between himself and what he termed the “gross nerds” in the community, writing, “My complaint with most weird fanart I see is usually ‘This isn’t going far enough.’ ”
>When a fan noted that the director’s words could soon be “ringing through the abyss and awakening some heretofore unimaginable fanart monster,” he received this reply from Jones-Quartey: “I say bring it on.”
>Ian Jones-Quartey’s tweet thread from August 2014.
>The words and actions of high-ranking figures in the children’s animation industry help to set the tone for what’s acceptable there. Jones-Quartey clearly means no harm to anyone with his statements — but the problem is that kids’ TV shows like Steven Universe and OK K.O.! are for kids. If these were adult animated series being surrounded by cultures of extreme porn art, it would mean something entirely different. But that simply isn’t the case. Shows like Steven Universe have to take into account, both in their content and their surrounding culture, that they exist primarily for children.
>Just as with My Little Pony, there are kids watching Steven Universe and kids looking to engage with it online. There are kids joining social media for the purpose of interacting with the creators of these cartoons or participating in the fan cultures around them. Showrunners like Jones-Quartey and Sugar create work responsible, in some ways, for drawing children into online communities. That’s the reality of making a mainstream cartoon today. The question is, are kids being drawn to safe spaces? Or is the fan community around kids’ cartoons like Steven Universe a “hypersexual and toxic environment,” where kids and adults mingle and boundaries disappear?
>The Steven Universe brand has similarly attracted its share of questionable collaborators. Japan’s Studio Trigger — an animation company that’s gained notoriety in the United States for raunchy sex comedies starring underage girls — lent Steven Universe a senior animator for one key sequence. (OK K.O.! has continued the love affair.) Studio Trigger’s mascots, dubbed the “Trigger Girls,” include a prepubescent child in a very small bikini. Trigger often hires erotic artists to illustrate these characters: here’s one such image (NSFW) available one click away from its main page as of this writing. The great irony is that Trigger’s senior staff includes at least one brony, Yoh Yoshinari.
>This is to say nothing of the controversial fan artist “Purple Kecleon,” hired by Boom! Studios as a cover illustrator for the official Steven Universe comic series. Kecleon’s infamous porn fan works have typically featured Pokémon and other small animals, such as My Little Pony characters (“foals” included), rendered with infant characteristics. Even before Kecleon was hired, the artist had posted publicly — on one of several Tumblr accounts they acknowledged as their own — about their overriding interest in porn that depicts “innocence being broken.”
>The public flirtation of children’s media with artists like these doesn’t just risk exposing kids to porn — it normalizes the entire idea of hypersexuality being present in children’s spaces, often in its most extreme forms. The trends I’ve described above are larger than any person or group of people in the children’s animation industry. It’s a systemic problem that will only grow if it’s left unaddressed.
>Just business
>The spread of porn based on children’s shows, and the upcycling of porn artists from this scene into mainstream children’s animation, isn’t some kind of grand conspiracy. It’s mostly the byproduct of what was simplest from a business perspective.

>All of which makes creators in the children’s animation industry seem out-of-touch when they shrug off fan-made porn. “People can do whatever they want with these characters,” Alex Hirsch said about the cast of Gravity Falls in 2015. “It’s not like I get upset about it! I’m just amused; I don’t care. Keep being weird — be weirder!” Here he echoes Jones-Quartey’s remarks in defense of Steven Universe’s porn artists.

>The question of porn based on children’s animation is now much bigger than what consenting adults do in their private lives. Is it really harmless fun when kids stumble across lolicon artwork of their favorite cartoon characters — characters they see themselves in? Is the internet really better off when tens of millions of kids watch fetish animations by “secretgoombaman12345” that show Steven Universe, My Little Pony and Gravity Falls characters inflating like blimps and bursting?
>And how is it wrong for companies like Hasbro and Cartoon Network — even as they continue to allow most fan artists to provide them with free advertising — to enforce their copyright when it comes to extreme or disturbing porn based on their children’s properties? Would the world truly be a worse place if Derpibooru didn’t have a “Foalcon” section?
>This is a systemic problem. It can be solved, but only if the children’s animation industry collectively realizes the responsibility it has to its young fans. This is much bigger than individual people, bigger than whichever unfortunate scapegoats a corporation might “cancel” to save its reputation and preserve the status quo. When Cartoon Network as a whole plays footsie with Shadman, when Hasbro turns a blind eye to brony toxicity, these actions have consequences. These companies — not at the showrunner level, but at the highest corporate and legal echelons — have allowed the problems in their communities to grow to this size. And only these companies can decide whether they want kids’ TV to be a safe space for kids again.

This is the dumbest take and reaching I’ve ever seen and I hate coomer art of children properties.

You can tell the person writing this didn’t even freelance anywhere.

Why do people think artist only work at one studio at once and never anywhere else? Yes the same people who just wrapped up working on a Disney feature film are also creating Rick and Morty episodes at the same time.

And this is why cartoon fans on Twitter who sperg about the porn and try to get people "cancelled" but never @ actual professionals/animators are disingenuous to me. The same people they suck the dicks of are all doing the exact same shit they write callouts for. They know it, don't care and keep supporting it
Cartoonists are degenerates. Most cartoons have degenerate messaging. If we want to be honest, the conservative Christians were kind of right, but it's too late to go back now, and 99% of the young people complaining are complete hypocrites. All that can be done is try to protect real children, criticize Google/Twitter/etc and demand better safeguarding so coomer shit isn't the first result when you try to find out about cartoons. It's the kind of thing that should just be kept underground, because you can't actually put sanctions on what people choose to draw/animate in most countries and expect it to work

Thanks for giving an honest answer. Sadly, I agree that SU Future wasn't great, and the highest point of the series was definitely the movie (and it could have ended there just fine). But overall, Steven Universe embodies everything I love about animation, everything I loved about animation growing up, and even though I watched it as a grown-ass adult, there were many times when I thought that I really could have used that show when I was a teen.

This thread though, my god. I agree so fucking much that the people that produce a lot of these shows are garbage, and a lot of the shows too regressive and referential (and I'm obviously saying that knowing how referential Steven Universe is), but like, damn people, I really want to know why you're so invested in Western Animation to post in this thread when you seem to loathe all of it.

The people who write/design/board the shows don’t animate them. They’re paid crazy American union wages to write this stuff and then ship it out to Korea/India where the actual POC they claim to love in their shows get paid pennies to animate them. Picrel shows a weekly wage for a young board artist in USA, whereas the annual wage for an animator in India is less than 3500$.

Good for you sticking to your guns, anon. I think of Steven Universe pretty fondly actually.

I've really seen almost every modern cartoon I've thought was either fun or nice get shit on in this thread. Like, I enjoyed Bojack, Inside Job, Arcane, and Smiling Friends equally as much. I'm fond of them; they made me happy. I unironically enjoy Rick and Morty because I really like the characters, and I think the two leads' dynamic is weirdly adorable and fun due to how absurd they are, so I guess that's technically my favorite at the moment. I fucking hate most of the fanbase and avoid reading comments if I can though. My rule of thumb is if I like it, I like it. I can dislike some aspects or arcs of an animated work, but I'm not sure if I can reach the same vitriol as some passionate anons here sometimes.

Not that anon but I can kinda see what they mean. The BASE premise of SU could have been deep and really gone into the ACTUAL horrors and existentialism caused by the gems existing and maybe even shown other non-earthling being other than just gems that could be shown as a form of 'livestock' or something making it so there was more variation in threat. The things that SU touches on could have been actually interesting if it wasnt all 'oh but it's solved by uwu love is all that matters' or ruined by 'oh lets just compare everything to something that will give us woke points'

I feel like the first time steven and connie fuse should have caused an actual trauma or at least a crisis in Connie. She's a human and her mind is melded with her friend and she becomes a whole different person but we're just shown this as a 'teehee cute and touching' bonding thing? For the gems it makes sense cause they've been doing it for decades but a human girl just being totally chill with that? It doesnt help that the general consensus is that fusing is almost an allegory to sex (or is poorly presented to the point where people think that) so its just all around handled super poorly.

There's so many plot points that are treated the same way that COULD have been amazing in better hands but they were too busy pushing a weird 'love is love and it fixes everything even genocide teehee!' narrative to do that.

i mean steven is practically a child soldier fighting against alien invaders lol like steven universe begins as a simple story of a young boy living with space aliens and who together battle against alien creatures which seems like harmless simple fun like you expect from a cartoon but actually battling against alien creatures isn't just simple adventures and fun but the characters are actually emotional wrecks for their own reasons and the main character is the reincarnation of his own damn mother and has to face all the expectations that causes and his mother's murky history.

it honestly is kinda similar story to nge but different enough to be it's own thing, and there is that very fucked up emotional absolutely insane shit there like vid related

and nonita posted this before me but yeah >>1500227 basically what i mean too, like if the deep fucked up shit and the emotion stuff was actually genuinely deep it could have been really influential. now there are emotions and so called deepness but something is just left hollow with it.

and sometimes when the show references itself and not just anime it does sometimes show genuine, actual emotion. like this scene here, for the whole show steven has had to deal with being half gem, half human, being his own mother, not really being his own mother, self doubt, not feeling enough, and then in the climax of the show we finally see steven's human side and gem side come together, do that laughing fusion hug/dance ruby and sapphire did, which showed how much they love each other, this time showing how steven loves himself and how that love makes him become a full person.

all the stuff that could make this really good show is there but it just end sup feeling half done.

Yep. I don’t think SU is bad; I think it’s good, but flawed. Similar to Rick and Morty, I think of the earlier seasons somewhat more sentimentally due to nostalgia, and of course, there were scenes in every season that made my jaw drop.

I was so excited at the PD reveal. I appreciated what it tried to do. Reading Rebecca Sugar’s interviews, like what the Ruby/Sapphire/Garnet relationship is meant to really mean for them even though it was one of the weaker relationships to the show, changed my impression of her. I own the art books, and Rebecca Sugar has a good head on her shoulders. She’s very clever in my opinion, has great ideas, and I love her art. But her and the staff’s storytelling is executed so hamfistedly half the time. The show really suffers from telling > showing sometimes because it wants to convey these great ideas, but they don’t know how.

I think the staff was overly ambitious, and perhaps in a different timeline it could’ve been perfected. But it is what it is, and we got what we got. I for sure wanted it to be the NGE of this generation, which may be stupid, but a lot of its world-building totally made it open to that.

agree with all of you. SU had so much potential and then it consistently dropped the ball, especially in Future. the diamonds and the homeworld arc were genuinely creepy, and if SU wasn't bound by being an American children's show i think it could have gone much deeper. the problem is NGE and its counterparts, Revolutionary Girl Utena and Madoka, are very hard acts to follow, especially for American cartoons. animated shows technically written for children/teens in Japan seem to have much more leeway to show darker stuff, while in America cartoons with more 'adult' themes are limited to Netflix or Adult Swim. imho the she-ra reboot suffers from many of the same problems as SU, with the addition of noelle stevenson's batshit insane troonery.

Fine then, Venus of Willendorf was not porn. It wasn't made as fap fodder. The statue was not looked upon as men fapped to it. There's evidence of it being a sculpture a pregnant woman made of her own body, hence the strange proportions (she was looking at herself top-down). Otherwise it would likely be a fertility idol, a work of art depicting nature just like the other works of art at the time. Nudity isn't synonymous with porn.

I wouldn't call it fake. I just don't think that she's very good at portraying at mutually reciprocated lesbian relationships.

Other than what's going on between Vi and Caitlyn, I've rarely found genuinely authentic and compatible lesbian pairings in modern animation and independent works. Most suffer a lot from that, "uwu sapphic girls eating ice cream and holding hands" puritanism.

IMHO I think she peaks at portraying a onesided love/affection in terms of lesbianism. I know people shat on Pearl all the time because she got a lot more development and attention than the other gems and was constantly crying about Rose, but for me, it hit really close to home. Some people said she probably related to Pearl more than any of the CGs, so it explained why Pearl felt more developed.

The redemption arcs for these shows are always too much. They did the same with My little pony.

Not my best explanation, but I'll give it a shot.

Lauren Zuke was a storyboard artist who was controversial for her ship bias influencing the direction of two characters in the show, namely Lapis and Peridot. This pissed off Amethyst/Peridot shippers and just some fans in general for apparently queerbaiting and unprofessionally forcing her personal ships into someone else's work. She's also the one largely responsible for the deadpan, dull Lapis characterization and gave her the messy hair she had for quite a while. This enraged fans for making Lapis (and Peridot, to an extent) OOC, as Peridot turned into Lapis's personal caretaker and unconditional emotional support doll, and Lapis turned into someone she was not like at all during her first appearances. Aka, a now bitter and sarcastic artist, much like Lauren herself.

This all accumulated into Lauren Zuke being fired and discoveries such as Lauren Zuke's personal tumblr where she was found calling her work environment abusive, referring to her former boss Rebecca Sugar as a narcissist, and general fandom shipping grumblings. Her final say on the matter was, "i tried to put a healthy queer relationship into media and it got uprooted and destroyed".

When you get a limb cut off your brain still thinks its there and can't cope, it can feel like its still there and in pain. Especially because things like fingers and toes have a ton of nerves and your brain spends a lot of time on them. It's maddening, you have to go to therapy for it.

Nipples also have a lot of nerves, they're an eroginous zone, your brain thinks they are very important. So when your nipples are gone your brain can't cope and thinks theres something wrong and your nips are being hurt somehow, your brain still makes you feel that pain even though there are no nips.

I genuinely was expecting at least an episode about Lapis finally asking the Crystal Gems why they didn't let her out or you know, they squabble, they hug and cry it out (per SU standards). But we got none of that. Lapis was just chilling with Bismuth in Future too, even though Bismuth was implied to be the one who poofed her in the first place. There was also a weirdly sizable amount of Pearl/Lapis enthusiasts, but they didn't even have many interactions either despite Pearl being the one to find her. Did Lapis even interact with Amethyst at all? She at least thought Garnet was cool later on, apparently having lost all grudges. God, this fucking show.

Holy shit,, I knew about zuke’s ship bias, but I had no idea it was borderline cow behavior. This explains so much why peridot basically got turned into a meme and lapis’s complete personality change that fans back then tried to excuse as “trauma”

I wonder if Zucke may have also been to blame why RS didn’t develop jasper and lapis (their fusion was supposed to represent a toxic relationship) nor give them any closure. They just had that ONE confrontation and then they never interacted ever again.

Is a shame if that was the case because that ship was the only mildly interesting one because it wasn’t “uwu lesbians”

I see your point but Steven Universe is very uniquely shit to me because despite of all the decent setup it had albeit most of it not being original in the first place, it not only banks on the imagination of more creative people but it spread itself too thin trying to espouse a message of forgiveness and extending it to the unforgivable rather than the comparatively minuscule wrongdoings of way less horrible people. This could have been solved with lower stakes and setting the tone to be lighter rather than going all out with gems being semi organic robot beings made to serve their oligarchs and the season 2 finale of Jasper and Peridots introduction; which was AWESOME but in hindsight was not a good decision considering where the show went from that point onward and funnily enough when I stopped watching when I was younger. Adventure time had the opposite problem in season 5(?)but both perpetrated by the same person; Rebecca Sugar.

Avatar the last air bender is treated as an anomaly in animation because it was able to tell a mature story or having mature themes but so have shows like Static Shock, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Captain Planet, all of which to me deserve to be revered as staples for their time which I think are even more enjoyable now considering the absolute state of modern cartoons. No one in the industry wants to admit it but it is in what I can only describe as in a depressing limbo. Where cartoons are being consumed at high rates but being pumped out at light speed with none of the love or attention to detail put in because of shitty conditions, shitty people riding a high of nepotism, and those same people writing about themselves in not-so covert narcissism.

it makes sense when you realize she doesn't consider breasts to be similar part of the human body like a hand or a toe would be, and she really isn't the only one. she views boobs as some sort of separate accessories, as like these random cutlets of meat that have no actual purpose in our body but which just exist as some sort of aesthetic things that you can just take off if you don't like them or make them bigger or whatever.

no one in their right mind would cut off their finger or remove a ear because they think their bodies would look more right without them or because they think having no ear would be a cool fashion statement because they view those as internal parts of their bodies, but because boobs aren't really viewed that way in general but as just some sexy accessories women carry around for no particular reason people don't view amputating them as a big deal.

The “shapeshifting a womb” thing doesn’t explain how a non-organic alien from a species of glorified vocaloids got enough genetic material to make a new human. Takes more than just an artificial womb to do that. I guess the gender brainrot running rampant in the western animation industry might have erased their knowledge of how babies are made.

The nature of Steven and what actually happened to Rose upon his birth was a big mystery in the show and a pretty interesting concept. Whether or not he was a real person or just a new version of his mom was an existential crisis the show set up but never really followed through on in a satisfying way to me. How much of rose is he really?

Everyone involved with HGS is a cow is all. At least everyone on the writing and production team.

She used to be kinda cool. I liked ‘Kate or Die’ several years ago. Like a lot of women in her field she started off as a fairly normal libfem then got sucked into the cult of woke retards. It probably doesn’t help that she got a soft-cancellation a few years ago (for nothing serious, just being too much of a successful white woman for their taste) and probably needed some reclaim some more oppression points to keep her career afloat.

Eventually being surrounded by they/thems in an echo chamber broke her BPD brain and peer pressured her into thinking chopping her tits off was a good idea. That environment is so incredibly toxic for people with an actual pathological fear of being rejected.

I have this shitty view that white libfems like her always end up parading around the most broken mental illnesses, obscure physical ailments, and some nonbinary identity (despite dressing like a little girl) because they need some way to feel more oppressed than anybody. After all, they have nothing else. She's always airing out her dirty laundry just like them as if it's a beautiful thing to be depraved, like in >>1216664. It's not like she's "never aged past 12, 14, 17" or whatever some of these people say when they feel broken, it's just that like them, she chooses not to grow up. Too much work.

Part of me does feel sorry, because it does seem like she was totally normal years ago, but she spent way too much time around people who think to be special, they gotta be as ugly inside and out as possible.

That's kind of the point of the show though, isn't it? It's a metaphor for people in general. How much are you of your mom? Are you really your own person?

Yes it was a bit unsatisfying overall to not get the answers to some of these sticking points, but at this point I feel it's like asking "why was there a block of ice in Edward Scissorhand's backyard? Why did his maker give him scissors and not hands?"

It's just not the point.

She’s not inherently ugly at all, just her god awful non-binary fashion sense and repulsive behavior/personality completely overshadow her potential for being attractive.

I really don't think it makes sense to link it to lolishit, which is a scrote thing, and not to ideals of being a flat androgynous prince, which geek girls love. I don't think I've ever seen anyone but obvious teen pickmes say shit like "flat is justice."

Tbh I think >>1505626 has a major point here: KL has taken a ton of shit for being a visible woman. Like she's not perfect, she's said some dumb shit, but I've been in comics for years and she absolutely became a punching bag in a way men never do. And tbh this is why I think this pov >>1505774 is a real misread. I think it's really satisfying to conceive of women like KL as overgrown idiot womanchildren who have no real problems, but the truth is every subculture loves to shit on women, and she sees nb shit as a way out, though probably not consciously. I mean jesus, look at the people in this thread acting like she's some disgusting gremlin because she gained some weight. I hate the trends she represents, but if we can't have some compassion for her, Noelle Stevenson, etc, we will literally never escape this shit.

Not only is that environment toxic to BPDs, troon art circles are noxious to anyone with the slightest bit of sadbrains, and even healthy people. The constant grinding hatred of "cis" womanhood, "cis" girls, and femininity for women, dismissing any sad feelings you might have as a girl, and validation/uplifting being reserved for trans only, are toxic like radiation. It's covert and tiring and you can't really call it out because then you'll be treated as an attention whore.
