It isn't a funny amount of coincidence when the crazy guy who made that had to go through 19 episodes of a kid's TV show to come up with like 5 vaguely related things, including that there happens to be a white girl and a black boy.

That's true, this is literally the only time I've ever heard about the show. And by "funny" I don't mean creepy /weird, I mean funny like slipping the "finger Prince" gag into Animaniacs.

The people who write that poo poo are angry lonely dudes who are mad that they cant get laid/ or a date. there are tons of small groups of these guys whinging and debating on the best methods of getting laid/dating. its very sad but amusing as hell.

Dapper_Swindler posted:pretty much. if they didnt come from money, these guys would probably be the dudes i talked about. sitting around on wizard chan/wherever and planning to shoot themselves if they hit 30 without touching a lady. It depends really. There's a lot of people around here who likely were in the shoes of the aforementioned and had that type of attitude. Chuck C. Johnson was DEFINITELY bullied while in school. You can tell even without the stories that have come out about the guy. The difference is between some random dude and these guys? The random dude likely had to grow out of the attitudes and kind of discovered better things to do with his time than to be a vindictive rear end in a top hat about it. Random dude also probably didn't come from the type of money that those assholes came from, so he's had to experience a lot of problems that people actually have to go through. So, you know..Empathy is picked up. I think I personally could have been in agreement with a lot of those rear end in a top hat viewpoints if not for the fact that I've had some tough times happen to me in the past couple of years. The economy collapsing in 2007/08 has had some silver linings in some ways.

Kids shows are so all over the place with plot and random poo poo that you could use any of them to prove anything you like Also, Bulldogs were bred for bull-baiting so someone super obsessed with the kink probably wouldn't include them at all, let alone make them the thing everybody rallies around

Good points. FuzzySkinner posted:It depends really. Yeah.

If you internalize powerlessness you just shrug and say "this is the way the world works" and then go on to bully people to get that taste of power while generally casting yourself as the underdog fighting against the overarching cultural-Marxist liberal misandrist syndicate.

It wouldn't be the first time someone in entertainment slipped some nods and references into their current work to a previous work, crew, or audience. It's not exactly uncommon. The insanity definitely comes from thinking it matters in any way or that the show somehow pushes that on the whole.

So, how are the preteens who watch this bulldog show supposed to know what these obscure, hidden symbols even mean? Let's say the creator DID work in a few kink references into the background of his kids' show. Will the kids who watch it have some kind of switch flipped in their brains that turns them into cuckold fetishists because there was a scene where one key was bigger than the other?

They got into trouble with the censors quite a bit, and at least one of their episodes got banned from the airwaves, and a lot of episodes had scenes permanently cut after viewing. Only Germany ever got uncensored versions of the show I think? GlyphGryph fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Jul 9, 2015 |

Zuhzuhzombie!! posted:How did Jillette overcome being a Libertarian and support the gay rights movement here? I don't want to summon jrode to the thread or anything, but supporting government protection of minorities is not actually against logical libertarian principles that are applied equally to both sides of the transaction. Basically if you think, in support of a free market, that businesses when they open themselves opt in to giving a stated service to all who walk through the door then bigoted assholes are infringing on access to the market of customers. Bigots are attempting to distort the market by refusing to serve certain customers and forcing them to go elsewhere. Libertarians pretend that stuff like the civil rights act is somehow against libertarian principles. It's really not. It's only against libertarian principles if you ignore pesky things like, "customers." Libertarianism is cargo cult economics seeking to further underpin white privilege with "logical" justifications. White supremacists used to just go to the Bible and say, "see here, it says god doesn't like race mixing!" They know they can't do that anymore, though, so they moved on to cloaking their support of white privilege in a way that sounds, to a lot of uneducated people, like real economics.

Penn thinks the govt is nearly always inefficient and causes waste when it messes with people's lives too much. as such he is one of the more old school libertarians who thinks gay marriage should be legal, the govt should not be siding with religion on things like 10 commandments in courthouses, abortion should be legal, drugs should be legal, and then dovetails in lassiez faire economics where there should be super low taxes, privatization, etc. he may be annoying and often very wrong but compared to like Rand Paul he is almost an entirely different set of opinions.

GlyphGryph posted:Of course, the entire point of that show was openly being subversive, and it was 100% adult-oriented humour. The Rocko guy got hired despite openly saying at the start "I don't write for children", which was apparently what Nick was going for at the time while trying to build their reputation as an "edgy" network aimed at college students and adults, much like Cartoon Network did later on. Yeah I think in a lot of ways Rocko's Modern Life is basically the perfect cartoon in that aspect. I think there's a lot of cartoons that seem to tilt towards the "FOR KIDS" angle, while the hidden jokes on shows like RML or Regular Show make them excellent/ Darkman Fanpage posted:Because he's a social/fiscal libertarian. That was actually my belief system before I went further and saw how terrible that overall mindset is in a lot of ways. In theory it's nice, but in practice it really doesn't work out too well. Re: The Cake. He argued in theory that the "Free Market" would take care of things and run those assholes out of business. Which is...right/wrong in some ways. However, I think he kind of understood the amount of far right loons this country has, then realized (sadly) that theory wasn't going to work in that regard.

Libertarianism sounds great until you experience actual hardship. And the whole ~*~socially liberal/fiscally conservative~*~ thing is bullshit anyway. If you're fiscally conservative, your policies are probably loving over the people that the socially liberal policies are supposed to help.

I enjoy listening to our brand of nutjobs here in Ohio. We have a station called WNIR who has two dumb limbaugh-clones in the vain of Bob Golic (Saved by the Bell, former Browns great  ) and Jim Isabella.The latter was pretty much flat out lying about what was being taught in schools in our state last night last night. His thought pattern/opinions were: 1. No child ever is being taught anything prior to entering school at age 6 these days. They come into kindergarten not knowing how to read/write. 2. Children are being taught how to put a condom on a banana in the 5th grade (A classic lie told by Rush Limbaugh) 3. It's bad to teach Children Sex Education because it encourages them to "EXPERIMENT" and have Sex Anyways. We shouldn't be teaching this in Ohio Public Schools any more. 4. The only thing being taught in school is how to have sex. Which would be nice if you know...Ohio didn't endorse "Abstinence only" education... http://jezebel.com/children-of-ohio-you-are-officially-screwed-when-it-co-474352940 But it currently does, and has for quite some time. Also I posed a question about this to my 2 co-workers if this was taught in their own public school districts (it wasn't for me). They both said "Nope". It's incredible how people like him get away with flat out lying to people, and then a bunch of racist morons call in to pat him on the back, then bitch more about minorities/"young people"/liberals.
