never seen this show, though. i am pretty sure only genderless blobs with neon hair would even consider it.

This is hilarious because the first time I heard about Steven Universe was literally from an overweight genderfluid person who wouldn't shut up about it. I've never seen it and feel like that's a good thing.

A few friends made me watch Adventure Time and it was a bunch of melty blob characters screaming about stuff that made no sense and wasn't particularly funny and I just couldn't force myself to laugh at it even after smoking many pots. At that moment I realized that I, as a man in my 30s, am maybe not the intended audience for a kid's cartoon show and just kinda stopped worrying about it. This is cool too, though

When I first caught adventure time on cartoon network, I thought the episodes were good for a couple of laughs, it was only when I started following it as a series I realised how garbage it actually was.

I like lots of stupid cartoons and video games but I draw the line at talking about that poo poo with other grown-rear end adults in public. I've got friends who will shout at the top of their lungs DID YOU SEE THE NEW STEVEN UNIVERSE and I'm on the other side of the table hissing at them to shut the gently caress up before I have to burn down the restaurant.

In conclusion, I think I'm too old for shows with 'fandoms'.

I remember getting really mad at my college roommate because he wouldn't stop talking loudly about The Simpsons while a girl I had a thing for was walking by

and The Simpsons isn't even a kids' show, and college sophomores are questionably even "adults", so your thing sounds worse

I never actually saw one of these threads but I was a Let's Play poster at the time and I remember very distinctly when half the forum suddenly had pony avatars and someone made a MLP-themed Diplomacy thread

I got curious and tried watching Episode 1, but I couldn't last five minutes because it was very obviously a show for little girls and I still don't understand why so many adults went literally and certifiably crazy over it :shrug:

Depending on your subforum, yeah, a bunch of goons actually watched that poo poo and wouldn't shut the gently caress up about it in any context (y'know, like bronies always do) until finally ponyposting became a bannable offense and there was a SA brony holocaust

First couple seasons of Adventure Time are a fine weedsmoking activity but it got terrible after that

Oddly enough the point where it seems to have gotten terrible is when the Steven Universe lady left the staff to pursue her own project which is even worse

It's a comic that had a bunch of text and also it had Flash animations and some of them were little Flash games and a bunch of people made music for it, but only some of that music got featured in Flash animations and the rest is just like themes inspired by scenes or characters and some of the music is bad but some of it is good if you like chiptunes

and yeah the Undertale guy was the best of the music people

Like loquacious said pretty much. I remember posting a bit in TVIV back in like 2011 because I was trying to get into TV after not watching for years and I remember the MLP thread always being at the top of the forum and having an absurd number of pages. I looked into it thinking it was probably an ironic or mock thread but it was mostly all legit brony posting.
Sure you had some FYAD leaks and troll posts calling people pedophiles and what not but they always got shouted down or ignored. Plenty of fanart too. It was loving weird.

As an experiment I clicked to read the last post one morning and kept track of how many new posts were made in a single day, and the number went well over a thousand posts in that one day.

This was like right before 'brony' became a thing so I seriously had no idea what in the blue gently caress this was all about. I'm not sure if the Steven Universe thread is like that but yeah SA had a poo poo ton of bronies before the holocaust.

And to think now only 4chan and reddit have permanent subforums specifically for bronies. Just goes to show we kind of dodged a bullet here.
