Why aren’t there comedic bully asshole bastard characters in cartoons anymore like the 2000s? It feels like post 2013 with shit like SU has made everything so soft now.
Because of the women
>>153856696That's exclusively for youtubers and politicians now

>>153859072top right is cute would fug
>>153856696SU had one
>>153860143Who, Onion or Kevin?
>>153856696There's the funny bunny in the circus show
>>153856696All villains btw
>>153856696we had Jax and you see how that turned out
>>153861972Nope
>>153862003That was because TADC is written by a tranny who gets horny to the idea of torturing his pre-trooning out self.
>>153856696Those are completely different characters. Also people who hate Bloo to the point of complaining about it are genuinely autistic.
>>153856696>It feels like post 2013 with shit like SU has made everything so soft nowSU had Amethyst, Gravity Falls had Stan. The real downfall came from shows aping those two.
>>153862003Goose liked Jax torture for a long time why are you surprised?
>>153856696>comedic bully asshole bastard characters
>>153856696I do feel like for a while something like a Bugs Bunny like slapstick bit / character in a show that might also have some heart to it isn’t okay, something either needs to be ultra soft like Steven Universe or full-on IASIP style sociopathic and where the characters loudly announce that they’re narcissistic abusers every five seconds so no one thinks the creators are “condoning their behavior, (TTG falls into this) and there is no in between.It definitely reads like the “but if people watch Bugs Bunny they WILL murder people!!!” voices have won and we now trust people to have absolutely no critical thinking skills or ability to tell pure fantasy from reality.
>>153856696hateful fart cartoon
>>153856696>feels like>>>feels likeIt doesnt "feel like" it, it IS. That's why so many of us despise beantoons. They hyper-sanitized the entire industry. They eliminated any semblance of variety. They established therapy speak and touchy feeling preachy faggoty bullshit as the norm.
>>153856696These characters only work in episodic comedy cartoons that don’t take themselves seriously, and shows like that have become rarer over time.
>>153856696"Filled" is kinda strong. All of these shows were notable at the time (I'm assuming for Recess, I never watched it but it has a cult following) for being edgier than the usual stuff around their timeslots
>>153856696Gumball and Teen Titans GO?
>>153856696Katz is a villain, not a bully. I blame movies like Megamind and despicable me for convincing zoomers villains shouldnt be too evil anymore.
>>153856696Blame cartoon fans/reviewers AKA their biggest and most loudest audience.
>>153856696It's more haughty alpha girl/queen bee types these days
>>153865003>You need to fuck your bullyThe worst example of them all.
Billy and mandy suckj ass
>>153863137But Bugs Bunny wasn't a bully. He was always defending himself from people who wanted to kill him.
>>153865145Wrong
>>153856696Katz and Chad were the antagonists. Jhonen also thinks Zim was the antagonist and Dib was the protagonist.
>>153865479Wasn't Chad working for the GKND?
>>153865479>Jhonen also thinks Zim was the antagonist and Dib was the protagonist.Nope
>>153856696Deeply repressed emotional insecurities on the part of the writers; their favored forms of conflict are internal, not external.
>>153863137>we now trust people to have absolutely no critical thinking skills or ability to tell pure fantasy from reality.It's more like an active ideological enmity to the idea of objective reality.
>>153865572It’s the whole reason why Florpus was Dib focused.
>>153865411By the time of the Chuck Jones shorts sure but before then he was a dick.
>>153857933This, network television is for the children of over protective parents
>>153862033>>153865450>downvote
>>153856696Katz wasn't even meant to be funny, he was supposed to be creepy and make the show darkerThe other three were meant to be silly with their douchey behavior. Hell, Numbuh 274 turned out to be a good guy all along.
>>153856696>pre 2013You mean pre April 5th 2010. Everything after that is tumblrshit. (with the exception of Regular Show)
6 foot tall chuds at 14 demanding lunch money got replaced by future engineers that have been held back twice and want to play the knockout game.
>>153865479When did Jhonen say that?
>>153856791First Post Men Post.
>>153856696How much of a bastard are they?
>>153856696those are like the worst examples for the topic
>>153856696> It feels like post 2013 with shit like SU has made everything so soft now.Because it is. Kids on the internet treat cartoon characters as real peopleTeen Titans Go is probably the last kid cartoon with some level of "mean-spiritedness"
>>153856696because you lionize the bullies and think they're objectively correct to harass the protagonists rather than being villains.
>>153865411How much of a dick Bugs Bunny was depended on the short, he was a bigger dick in earlier shorts and wound up having worse and worse antagonists introduced later on because people felt he was coming across as a bully even when he didn’t instigate because he took things so far and they were so one-sided in his favor. But being an ass was also a big part of his popularity compared to the weak sauce bland nothing Mickey Mouse eventually turned into.
>>153865411I would say it's more so that he's a trickster. he preys upon oafish foolishness with wit. bully characters usually don't fit that role, they're much more aggressive and rude.
>>153859072I would never pitch my idea over there after the current state we're in.
>>153866243>>153866307Fuck off
