Even Butch had to remind himself to stay "family friendly" in his Youtube videos, like when his Clifford The Big Red Dog fanfic got too 'dark' or when almost said he wants Logan Paul to be set on fire.

I don't know if he's relying on his fans for support with this, since most of them probably grew up on his shows 10 years ago.

FoP is basically in its own little zombie simpsons world at this point. Funny thing they introduced a new character to try to change up the formula twice and then they just stopped showing up after a while both times when everyone hated them. One character was a magic dog, a literal Poochie.

The others are literally a baby and a manic pixie dream girl (ironically not literal despite the premise of the cartoon).

This comic about an Iraq War vet Border Patrol sniper fighting the Mexican cartels looks pretty normal, but I wonder how it plays out considering its creator Richard Meyer is infamous for his Youtube videos about how SJWs are ruining comics.

Meyer's racism and sexism have led to his previous crowdfunded comic being boycotted. Here is a pretty comprehensive article about him: https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/05/13/no-enemy-but-peace-richard-meyer/

That’s normal now, friend.

Well one thing is off. All the Mexicans are written with normal-sounding English, not even a "<translated from Spanish>". Maybe that would be too "SJW" or something.

Giving away a poster of the character who was almost raped wearing a tiny bikini as a pledge reward is probably standard though.

Butch Hartman is crowdfunding a family-based streaming service. The only name attached is Butch himself, and he doesn't even have a project planned for it, but....

I feel like user uploads are going to be at odds with a streaming service explicitly focused on family programming.

The campaign is over and made its goal.


Also apparently it's supposed to be a Christian streaming service and he's been promoting it to the Pureflix crowd which is why he got his money

There are people angry about this, of course, since Butch never said anything about it in his campaign. He also blames depression and suicide on modern media, as well as paradoxically complaining about kids using their tablets and phones too much while promoting a competitor to Youtube and Netflix.

quote:

Karlee Esmailli here, the founder of Immigrant Father Studios. I'm an Iranian-American person, and I wrote a video game to express all my complex feelings towards America, the middle east, and my clitoris. I'm proud to present The Super Patriotic Dating Simulator.

The Super Patriotic Dating Simulator is a satirical visual novel. Play as Elodie, a 19-year-old CIA super spy. As one of America's most ruthless agents, you’ve been assigned a deadly solo mission: infiltrate and destroy I***.

Besides the whole “super spy” thing, you’re just a normal American girl… who’s really horny. Give these fuckers an American rear end-kicking, and maybe learn a bit about your body on the way. Just remember the #1 rule of the CIA: always ask for consent.

...

7 different “dateable” characters, each with multiple character endings.
Geopolitical intrigue.
Beautiful illustrations at high-tension moments.
One horse.
Helpful reminders for white people that I*** is not representative of Islam or all middle eastern people

...

I love dating SIMs and visual novels. I love my family in Iran, my Persian nose, and middle eastern culture. I love being an American. I'm grateful to live in this country. Despite my love for these different components of my identity, I've felt a deep anxiety towards each of them. These mixed relationships of love and anxiety are the foundational components of The Super Patriotic Dating Simulator.

Dating SIMs, as a genre, have strong roots in the expression of sexuality. Female characters in many dating SIMs are built as sexual objects for heterosexual male players. I wanted to contribute a grounded, accurate, female perspective to this genre typically dominated by the male gaze. The protagonist's story arc in the game centers around the questions that I asked myself as a young woman. Elodie, the main character, wonders: Why am I not orgasming from just penetration? How do I orgasm? Am I gay or straight? Does my virginity matter? Why didn't anyone tell me about this?

To contrast against this grounded discussion of female sexuality, I wanted to subvert the sexual oppression that characterizes so much of I***'s politics. In reality, I***'s oppression of women exists within a patriarchal framework, which subjugates women's bodies, pleasure, and power to men. I found power and strength in an objectified caricature of members of I***. The same tools of objectification that have made me feel diminished, disrespected, and worthless as a woman can be used against the perpetrators of this gendered violence. The tactics of I*** are intended to terrorize. Subversion and comedy are particularly effective against this kind of politics. I want to rob I*** of the terror they work so hard to instill, through this reversal of the sexual narrative.

While the game directly addresses I***'s gender politics, it is equally informed by my identity as a middle eastern person in modern-day America. The Super Patriotic Dating Simulator is specifically about I*** because of American perception of the middle east. To many white Americans, I*** is just a group of brown boogeymen in the desert. I*** is universally disavowed by Muslims - they are not a representative depiction of Islam. And yet, Americans tend to use I*** as the face of Islam and the middle east, and that terrifies me because they literally can't tell us apart and think we deserve to die. The Super Patriotic Dating Simulator is a satire about this American perception. It's a satire of the dehumanizing, inaccurate, atrocious politics of American perception of middle eastern people. It's a desperate plea that we recognize how harmful that perception is.

Ultimately, my growth and understanding of my sexuality have been informed by my connection to middle eastern culture, American culture, and the conflicts I've experienced living between these two perspectives. The Super Patriotic Dating Simulator is an expression of my personal experience -- my anger, my pleasure, my identity -- seen through the lens of comedy.

People did call Fortnite a PUBG knockoff, except it's not true because Fortnite has a completely different art style and new gameplay elements like player-made buildings. Even Call of Duty Mobile's battle royale mode that looks a lot like PUBG has stuff like wingsuits, character classes and that hellhound miniboss to set it apart.

She also posted pictures of random cats to Facebook and in the captions would pretend to be the cat saying that her mommy was seeking legal action against any harassers (with "-meow!!-" randomly inserted every few words).

She earlier claims that she is not a crazy cat lady and is in fact better than such people.
