Guy Mann posted:The greatest trick Cartoon Network ever pulled was convincing people that a brainless cash-in of a bad cartoon helmed by a mediocre white guy was something that people needed to stan for in the name of progressiveness. i give absolutely zero shits about the cartoon itself. i think it looks bad and i'm probably not going to watch it. i also think it's absolutely bonkers how incredibly heated and angry right-wing people have decided to get about the show, and why they even remotely care that someone is ruining their precious Thundercats. i think it's kind of equally insane and stupid that a loving art style, one used by many actual good shows (Gumball and Gravity Falls spring to mind), is being taken as some sort of sign of the degradation of western culture by homosexual furries or whatever the absolute gently caress this whole "CalArts style" nonsense is. the fact that anyone over the age of loving 12 had a stronger reaction to that poster than "looks bad todd" or "looks fine" is genuinely stunning to me.

What genuinely baffles me is how much nostalgia people have for 1980's cartoons that were literally cheaply made toy advertisements. As much as I enjoyed He-Man growing up my now adult brain can see it for what it is; a bad, cheaply produced toy commercial aimed at children because children don't know any better. Thundercats wasn't much different and boy howdy are so many cartoons from that era just impossibly awful. It shouldn't be shocking at all that new cynical cash grabs are being made.

Pfft, shows what you know. The objectively best period of American culture was...never. They all suck. All of them. Just in different ways.

Some of the relauches are good, made by people who grew up on the original and wanted to make a decent story (like the first Thundercats relaunch) with the concept. Whether the new Thundercats will fit that bill I don't really know, or care. What I do know about the original Thundercats is that even among the commercial cartoons of the 80s it was bad. People have fooled themselves into thinking the opening was the whole show.

Lmao, at this point I can't stop laughing looking at this goofy dude pretending he's badass. Like, in the footage that I've seen from the first game he was WAY too convincing in those parts where he was supposed to be a loser so I'm pretty sure that's who he's actually is.

Jacksepticeye, videogamedunkey, and boogie are the only Youtube LP-ers I recognise who played the first Super Seducer. Even Pewdiepie did not, but then again he mostly make reaction videos nowadays and his fans had to pressure him into playing Detroit: Become Human. Where’s my Retsupurae video? Here’s an Elders React to it, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4omjJYA0aCY

I think you're misremembering, that weeaboo store bought banner ads for years on this site and the hentai game reviews also posted affiliate links at the end of reviews to make money off all the people buying it.

Hey now That's not how it happened The White Dragon posted:so this is what it's like to have no critical thinking skills This is basically what happened probably. I wanted it because I thought it'd be fun to riff on and despite people quoting things like that onion article "ironic porn purchase leads to unironic ejaculation," people can, in fact, laugh at and make fun of porn things. Unfortunately even the double censored version available on steam is still too pornographic to stream, and the triple censored patch a goon made for me to fully censor the game still doesn't get it to a point where I could stream it on twitch without getting in trouble because the game only censors most of its sex scenes and I guess the devs didn't consider the numerous foreplay scenes to be sexual enough to be cut.

Obligatum VII posted:To be fair, he started out as a potentially a good parody but then got worse instead of ever coming to comprehend that he was a shitheel. I know we're done talking about Deponia but i thought it was worth adding that the third game is about everyone getting sick of his poo poo and he sacrifices himself at the end because he realizes he's a dipshit gently caress up that didn't earn happiness. The writing still isn't good enough. But there was an effort.
