Ginger has terrible friends. Dodie I'm pretty sure is an actual evil sociopath.
>>153166725Anybody got screencaps from as ATBG thread a few years ago where two anons were rp’ing Dodie and Ginger’s mom having an awkward encounter in the kitchen where Lois was looking for butter to lube a rubber fist?
>>153166725For me it was the original airring of the debikin episode where it was written that the partygoers did actually see that Courtney was flat but then had to remake it since parents complained
>>153166725ive been going through this show again. most of the characters have their deep flaws. The show was designed to be ugly both visually and showing the raw side of their stage of development. Dodie is super concerned about being popular but I think a lot of people her age are at stage of life. a lot of them grow up to realize it's not important. I'd imagine someone like Dodie would realize this in her early 20's if not sooner
>>153167874I think Dodie grew up to either getting killed by her drug dealer boyfriend or dedicated her life to a career in HR.
>>153167899could be, we'll never know. a lot of the times offspring end up like their parents, maybe she's turned into her mom all uptightIve seen it happen IRL. friends I knew growing up, have a massive personality shift into adulthood
>>153166725Built for black boys name Darren
>>153167836What?
>>153168169This show was nothing but an interracial psyop. I mean, the nigger even had the guts to cheat on Ginger, dump her for a popular cheerleader and all of that just for the two ending up together with a baby in the show's finale.
>>153169634The original episode had Ginger dive in too late to cover Courtney and it was basically meant to be a 'accept yourself for who you are' moment with Courtney again having a lesbo crush moment on Ginger
>>153167836>>153170902This sounds like total bullshitSource or it didn’t happen
>>153170948NTA but I clearly remember the episode showing her bikini fall off from the back before getting covered by the pool tube only for later episodes to include an additional sequence from the front of the pool tube covering it. I feel like one of only 4 people online that actually watched ATBG as it was coming out.
>>153169677BasedRedhead girl viewers should know the best outcome.
Macie was passed around in college like a bong.
>>153171418Nah, she was annoying as fuck so I doubt that.
>>153167836>>153170902That's what I remember as well.Too bad everything about that has been removed.
>>153169677The same rot that invests media now was around back then, just less advanced.Oddly, in other ways it didn't conform to the script; Ginger tries to have a "diverse" holiday when she finds out she's ancestrally Jewish only for it to make her frustrated and upset and wishing she had just stuck to her family's traditions. The divorced mother isn't treated as a hero who don't need no man but overburdened by carrying a family on her own and is ultimately rescued from this by marrying a wealthy man who can provide.
>>153167874Dodie’s mother acting exactly like an adult version of Dodie but somehow even worse does not bode well for Dodie’s future. Maybe Dodie could turn out better because she has friends like Ginger to look out for her, but I think that’s optimistic.
>>153173919Pretty sure it's only on the UK and maybe the Canadian versionIt wasn't on the USA iirc
>>153171374Shalom Saaaar
>>153166725I watched this as a kid and was wondering how it was possible that all the supposed "bad" kids and antagonists turned out to be okay, while all the supposed protagonist were huge shitheads.Noticed the racemixing even as a kid, but thought it as an american thing and how it must be normal there.
>>153177112I was one of the weird theater kids and was acutely aware that the unpopular nerds weren't always actually good or nice and actually a good hanadful of jocks and stacys were genuinely nice despite being popular so I appreciated the the setting of ATBG.
I'm glad SpongeBob and to an extent Frederator killed off the Klasky-Csupo Nicktoon (Aaaah Real Monsters had some of the dullest writing I've seen in a cartoon)
would the show be watchable if it was stopmotion?
>this was a show aimed at girls
>>153177286girls loved fucked up shit
Didn’t the last season air a good decade after the show was made?
>>153177157I mean, yeah? That was kinda obvious to every kid who wasn't a total shut-in. The ones who are outgoing, social and nice are tend to be the popular ones, not the bitter anus weird losers. Never even understood where this trope even came from, if not from pure coping. That said, "nerds" as a concept did not really exist back then for us, the most divisive social line was between if you like "disco" (electronica) or "rock" (everything with a guitar) music and that got insanely bitter and polarizing for no reason, aleast until emo became popular, which everyone hated together and kept picking on the.The concept of popular cheerleaders and jock ass bullies were completely lost on us, mostly because we just couldnt unbelieve how monumentally retarded as a concept cheerleading was, many of us assumed it was just something made up for shows or just some weird americanism. We also had no idea why a super popular jock would bother shitting on some random. Like, why on earth would you waste your time on a nobody who is of zero interest to you, instead of just enjoying your popularity with your bros and getting some sweet teen pussy. To be honest, I find it super interesting how your usual kids show is completely different from how kids actually think and what they actually believe.
>>153177385Yep (Thanks to pic related)
>>153177157jocks and stacies tend to be well liked because they are nice and likable. cartoons fucked up my perception of what popular kids were like before i went to middle school, so I was predisposed to assume I wouldn't like them. a lot of nerds are disliked because they're also rude.
>>153177410Bitter anus weird losers were more likely to watch cartoons/kidcoms (the popular ones preferred sitcoms, MTV/Comedy Central shows and Reality Shows)
>>153177410More dramatic, that type of extreme bullying usually only occurs if a psychopath is involved and it can occur in the adult world too. Only 1 in 100 people or so have the capacity for that and the odds of them getting into a position where they can and also get away with it push the odds lower.
>>153178378Nope. That is another stupid lie the media likes to tell, to distract from the uncomfortable fact that each and every children is a bully in some form, That's how they learn how to navigate social life, how hierarchies form, how do they learn how to establish and maintain boundaries. A kindergarten group is basically a chicken coop with a pecking order, your average three year old is not that eloquent so he walks up and punches the kid he dislikes in the face and gets hit in he head with a toy shovel in return. Parents dislike this because "well my little Timmy would NEVER!". They dislike the idea of kids being vicious little shitheads.Coincidentally the LACK of this in kindergartens and elementary schools end up producing fucked up headcases in both directions, powertripping little retards who enjoy having power over someone or huge bitch losers who quite literally never had to defend themselves in their lives and have zero idea how should they even begin. Without proper socialization kids can absolutely stay vicious shitheads.Another common lie is that bullies MUST be troubled or damaged themselves and that is the core reason for bullying. No, dipshit, power just feels fucking sick. Having power over someone is the ancestral powertrip, coded into the most fundamental parts of your psyche, a human craves social status as he craves air or water. We have been craving that since monke. Show the kids healthy ways to acquire status, like being star athlete jocks and they will feel little need to bully people just for the sake of it, Funnily, genuinely sociopathic kids are troublemakers in completely different ways, they are very rarely bullies.
>>153178646>each and every childrenlol
>>153178701Yes. Try visiting a kindergarten sometimes. The shit alphas do to each other online from elementary school is also bullying .
>>153178775Hello, you seem to be gramming of the negative reasoning
Always hated this art
>>153177385Only in America
>>153180282Jewish show (all the Clasky-Csupo cartoons were ugly as hell)
>>153177157never considered it, that's actually a good point.
>>153169510Macie is the only one wearing socks here.
>>153177363True. Maybe it's a coping mechanism for being the weaker sex, to find the stuff that threatens them fascinating. Like true crime etc.
>>153174525You've been the victim of censorship.
>>153181270Clasky Csupo really fell off. They're still around but the only thing they've done for a long time is launch a skater zombie comic that went nowhere and make storytime shorts with their logo character they get that guy who did Beast Boy to voice.
>>153177208What the fuck, its so BAD.

>>153174033She needs a black husband like Ginger.
>>153177157>>153177410Most of the people with this viewpoint are autistic people themselves who are trying to people please by thinking stacy really wanted to associate with them. Being popular or unpopular doesn't decide if you're an asshole ot noy.
>>153166725>Dude... what if... children's cartoon... was like dark and fucked up??!?
>>153184635huh?
What could've been, but wasn't.
>>153185365Ginger isn't gay, though.
>>153184618everybody knows stacy is vapid and retarded, still a better choice than retard-sama and how much he hates a comic book adaptation becoming his personality.
>>153186638Every woman is varying degrees of Bi.
>>153178646Listen, Jamal. Just because you and your classmates were violent retards, doesn't mean every child on Earth is the same.
>>153186763YWNBAW
>>153187071I'm a dude, and every woman being bi also means any "lesbian" will be willing to take dick in the right situation.
>>153182866lmao, I didn't know they were still around.
>>153186763Tranny detected
>>153186882You have no experience with kids, do you?>>153187153They have multiple meaning when say "lesbian" and its very comfortable for them to have such an interchangeable meaning for their identity. It's typical female behavior. Almost all, except the most mannish of bulldykes will have sex with men if they feel like, though.>>153186763Its a show they put up for attention
>>153166725i only remember that one ep where her brother got bitten by a monkey and going crazy. was that ever resolved?
>>153186763only gays think like this.
Threadly "what in the FUCK were the late-stage writers smoking" postIt wasn't a complete trainwreck, but so many baffling to absolutely awful choices were made after the switch to High School
>>153166725Why Is she a ginger, dough?
>>153191536yeah
>>153189047It's so fucking retarded how Ginger got cucked and Darren broke up with her only to get married and have a kid together years later. The ending fucking sucked. >>153189082Agreed, the writers focused too much on unnecessary drama on the High School episodes, it almost felt like a completely different show.
>>153177286Girls like drama.
>>153169677get it, you swapped the first and third letters
>>153195398>ginger is a palindrome for niggerI guess they truly were meant to be together.
>>153166725Reminder
>>153196660WTF
>>153196660
>>153196660That intern has seen like three episodes where Dodie was less of a cunt than usual, and only absorbed the fact that Ginger and Dodie are canonically closer than her and Courtney, and thought that made Dodie the right answer. I mean to be fair, Dodie is one of Ginger’s two official BFFs that she’s been super close to all her life and shares all her secrets with and makes BFF bracelets with and spends all her free time with. While Courtney is some popular chick that tries to invite Ginger to a party or something like every other week. To any casual viewer, Dodie is the obvious answer.
