Do not assume that I'm ignorant just because I see depth where you do not.

Sith saber I know you're probated but I really got to know why you brought up Squidbillies (nvm that it's a great show) as a CN show. Like are you aware adult swim is it's own thing in a lot of regards? That programming on [as] is totally removed from CN, right?

She's president of everything. (It's right there in the title)

Okay but what about [as] programming makes you think it alters CN daytime programming? I don't care about the president thing.
Also, define 'broninmation' or whatever as you say it.

I'm well aware [as] is on CN. I know that the same company runs them. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you don't like any [as] shows that aren't anime.

Holy gently caress, I just meant that she could exercise alittle executive control over everything she runs. And no, I don't watch as only for 2am anime. I just skip over Squidbillies and it's ilk because squidbillies is poo poo.

Ps. Broimation as in Regular show and other shows that straddle the evening hours and subject matter between cn and as

And it had ultrabroey episodes along with continuing dark subject matter that I don't think is suitable to The Y-7 ratings label. Broimation treats CN like a institution, not a kiddie tv ghetto.

I, too, wish that animation was considered a respectable medium outside of children's or teenagers' entertainment, but that doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with "kiddie tv". The kiddies need entertainment too; I'd argue that kids show in particular need quality, well-thought out and well-written content. Too many shows treat their audience like idiots, which doesn't challenge a developping mind like it needs to.

Also, nobody older than 15 attaches "bro" to other words unironically. You are just damaging your position by expressing yourself this way.

Back to my other point, there's nothing necessarily wrong with aspects of Ben 10. The issue is that it follows the old formula of milking a product 'till it bleeds, and than milking it some more until you yank out a spin-off.

Ps. Broimation is what it is, and is far superior to that AS stoner poo poo that condones zero budget cartoons and the unfortunate gross out seasons of ATHF.

Speaking as someone who's only seen ads for Adventure Time on top of occasionally reading the TVIV thread, I get the impression every character within the show runs around with their dick flopping all over the place and it's really deep and intriguing.

It's mostly a matter of manchildren watching a cartoon with light adult themes that are about as subtle as the ones in Animaniacs and acting like they're loving academics for pointing these things out.

That's still better than the word "dweeb" and all the sexual tension between Gwen and her cousin.Thankfully this tension was subverted by marrying Gwen off to bad boy Kevin when the series got its first revamp.

Pretty much my favorite thing about the AT thread is the dude who posts his childrens' reactions to episodes. Almost invariably, any episode his kids love, the thread hates, and any episode his kids hate the thread spends 40 pages discussing.

Congratulations sir, you are the latest in a long line of people who fail to recognize hyperbolic sarcasm. Go read what I quoted.

Ps. But is it imaginary? I never noticed because I watched that poo poo when I was a kid (when did it first come out, 2003?) and not as a adult who knew better.

I don't know much about subtext, but I feel a pretty obvious one is that someone who keeps posting in threads full of people that are obviously hostile towards him (sometimes even demanding people respond to him rather than just ignore him) just enjoys the negative attention.

Did you notice that the Please,Please Please Get a Life Foundation only deals in aversion therapy rather than addressing the underlying circumstances that draw people to obsess over cartoons? Did you also notice that the skit referenced Pavlov's dogs, which was instrumental in formulating modern understandings of conditioning?

I honestly believe Sith is just an alt account sent to gently caress up the AT thread and that owned, it's too bad just posting in one thread is a bannable offense. Honestly that thread needs to mellow the gently caress out.

Grownups can enjoy fantasy and new worlds and demons and aliens and even somewhat one-dimensional characters, and those are so much better serviced by cgi shows.
Like tmnt's mutants are incredibly fun to watch, they move so much like animals or aliens or whatever they're supposed to be and it makes the fights so much more interesting to watch than person vs person in a suit. Even tfprime despite complaints had gorgeously arranged choreography using vehicle/robot physics.

Meanwhile a lot of more "mature" shows still have monsters and fight scenes but are still limited by what you can make "look right" in a live action environment. I know it was the 90's and they were still enjoyable but I just finished the buffy and angel shows and the monsters and fight scenes got kind of tiresome after a while, it was only once in a while that they did something interesting with the fights.

I often wonder if I had been a mid-twenties man-child, like I am now, during the early '90s how much I would've been aware of all that junk going on. I mean, part of the problem was that there wasn't an entire half of the Internet dedicated to furry porn and message boards, so all these people were hanging out in AOL chatrooms where kids were.
