That said when those sort win, God, is it glorious (the squidward band episode springs to mind).

To this day I'd still put that episode in like top 5 funniest kids show episodes of all time. God is it just hilarity from beginning to end.

edit: There is no way Steven Universe won't get the same treatment Adventure Time and Regular Show get, especially since the show is by Rebecca Sugar.

The second season of the Aquabat's Super Show started recently, and it's amazing. It seems that this season's cartoon segments are going to be on the origins of the Aquabats. There's about half of last week's and this upcoming week's cartoons. They're pretty great.

This week's is being done by Shmorky. :ssh:

Hey kids! Want to watch Christian parents freak the gently caress out over a awful children's cartoon!?

One Million Terrible Moms posted:

Warning to all parents! This Saturday, June 1, the premiere of the transgender superhero show "SheZow" will air on Hub at 12:30 p.m. ET/11:30 a.m. CT/9:30 a.m. PT. The media is determined to pollute the minds of our children and there is no better way to desensitize them than through a cartoon program. Everyone knows children are drawn to animated shows; both boys and girls love superheroes. This character especially will appeal to both boys and girls since the superhero represents both genders by cross dressing and being transgendered. This dude becomes the FEMALE superhero SheZow dressed in pink and purple.

The Hub network, co-owned by Discovery and Hasbro (children's toy company), produced the "SheZow" show which follows the adventures of a 12-year-old boy named Guy who uses a magic ring from his deceased Aunt to transform himself into a crime-fighting girl. Yes, you read that correctly. When Guy says the magic words "You go girl!" he becomes SheZow the superhero.

This is just another attempt by the gay, lesbian and transgender community to indoctrinate our children into accepting their lifestyles.

The Hub currently shows many children's shows like, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake and Chuck and Friends, which are all very popular among young TV viewers and their parents. The target audience for the Hub is children aged two to eleven.

Even the chief executive of the Hub, Margaret Loesch, initially had the same reaction that most parents will have. Loesch commented, "When I first heard about the show, my reaction was 'Are you out of your minds?' Then I looked at it, and I thought, 'This is just funny.'" There are several possible reasons why she may have changed her opinion concerning this gender-bending program for kids.

There is no doubt this superhero character will confuse kids. Children desire to be just like superheroes and will mimic a superhero's every action, even to the point of dressing up in costumes to resemble the characters as much as possible. It won't be long before little boys are saying, "I want to be a girl, so I can help people and save the world!"

Christian parents don't need a TV show to contribute to what might be a real problem for some children. Loving your child is to teach them right from wrong and find help when they need it. We are all sinners, but we try to do better and get help when and where we need it in our lives. Thousands of Christian counselors and pastors are available all across the country to help anyone who is struggling with any kind of sin including homosexuality, gender identity disorder, gender confusion or gender dysphoria. If you or someone you know needs help finding a Christian counselor go to [gently caress YOU ONE MILLION MOMS] for more information.

TAKE ACTION

Please send your email to oppose the new show "SheZow" and strongly encourage Hub (Discovery and Hasbro) to drop all plans to air this program.

(No, I'm not posting the link. gently caress OMM and their terrible website.)

I particularly love that last part at the end. Stay classy OMM! :allears:

Hey OMM if you had just ignored it, children wouldn't have watched it because it's a lovely cartoon and it would have quietly slipped away and not been anything other than a weird fetish footnote on the dark corners of the internet. But now you've made it a "thing" so you've managed increase it's viewership a thousand fold and insured that we have to hear about it for months. Great job, assholes.

The pitch was that he turns into a female superhero, whether this just means a change of clothes or an actual change of his sex is something I really have no interest in looking up or trying to rationalize.

Really, everybody loses. Conservatives are going to hate it because it portrays being transgendered/crossdressing as anything other than a sinful aberration, and liberals are going to hate it because it's so ridiculously over-the-top with enforcing traditional gender roles (being a female superhero means having powers and equipment that are all based on cosmetics and the color pink!) as well as minimizing actual transgendered struggles in favor a zillion she/her/girl puns.

Oh my god, that post is hilarious. I especially loved the "I hope it's on PBS" part. Yes, it would work great there. Curious George, Thomas the Tank Engine, Sesame Street, and then a preteen-aimed action cartoon.

While I usually like Teen Titans Go! last night's episode (with Beast Boy refusing to turn back from a gorilla) was kind of a low point for the series. Mostly in how the characterization for everybody was completely off, especially Beast Boy who seemed like he rather quickly switched from just joking around to being a complete rear end in a top hat.

If I ever get a real cartoon on the air, thanks to my homophobic mother and the incredibly homophobic father of my fiance, I'll be happily snubbing my noses at uptight Christians with openly bisexual characters and gently caress with their heads about how "proper" men and women should act and love each other.

But more on topic, I really miss Teen Titans. I've been watching it and thinking about how crappy the new Teen Titans is. What a loving travesty...

I'm kind of amazed at the stupidity of "One Million Moms" thinking that a crap show like that could influence someone to cross dress or -gasp- be gay!

Most kids in that demographic if they are heavily into comic books and cartoons are going to be into Tony Stark, Batman or Spiderman.

Hell, the majority of LGBTQ individuals I've met are comic book nerds.

Also, the fact that at the end they recommend a group of individuals that adovocate "gay conversation" therapy is loving terrifying.

I hope the show isn't cancelled just to spite those group of idiots, but I hope it doesn't become a "thing" like "My Little Pony".

That show was one of the few reasons I watched PBS in the summer when I was a kid.

I remember all the rumors that there would be a supposed movie coming in 2010 or something. Of course, it never happened so the rumor started up again.

I really wish it wasn't a rumor. :(
