So did we ever get an answer as to how they got away with this episode?
>>153969938It was a time before wokies
>>153969938Different time, different place, they had blackmail on Schneider.
>>153969938Gay marriage was still illegal.
>>153969967How did blackmail on schneider mean hotter bitches in shows?
>>153969938ask me how I know you are a kissless virgin.
>>153969938Wait that's not an edit...
>>153969938the pulled a "this is worse" to hide some of it . Azula's was skimpier
I remember reading they submitted it to Nick with even skimpier outfits and even more sexual stuff, so when Nick asked to "tone it down" they wrote the current version and it passed with no issues.Old Hollywood trick. BTAS did it too.
>>153969938They made a skimpier version knowing it wouldn’tget accepted, then used this one as a compromise. Iirc its wgat actually happened.
>>153970120Why was the studio so desperate to show their characters so sexualised?
>>153970146They weren't. This is pretty tame, which is what the Avatar producers wanted all along. They were afraid Nick would object, so they submitted something even worse, knowing Nick would ask them to tone down to what they wanted.
>>153970120baseless rumor that was never substantiated
>>153970146you misunderstand. the even lewder designs were a sacrificial decoy.
Fun fact: David Filoni was a writer and director for ATLA.
>>153970146For us!
>>153970146It's more like deep down all cartoon artists are degenerates and this was the best compromise the studio was willing to tolerate
>>153970091female envy detected
>>153971726This was before the time when she went crazy.
>>153969938By not drawing explicit attention to it. Its a teenager in a pretty standard bikini and the show mostly focuses on how cute she is rather than sexualizing her. Its pretty obvious. People here are so pornminded that they look at this image and just see breasts and then their puritan upbringing flares that as sinful and sexual when its just a woman wearing a beach appropriate outfit.
>>153969938 monkey
>>153972919Well, the breasts and cleavage are quite prominent. You can't really say it is discrete at all. You could show this image to any person, and probably one of the first things they'd notice is the cleavage.Not complaining though, it is an appropriate outfit for the context.
>>153969938Hairy Elbows.It's an old design psychology trick that's from early Disney animation. You add a thing that you expect to lose and make it big and obvious so your boss zeroes in on that to the exclusion of everything else. In this case, extra hair on the arms of a character.The boss then looks and sees it and goes 'lose the hairy elbows" and feels accomplished because they criticized your work and demanded a change and made you "compromise". So you erase the hairy elbows and the rest of your design is untouched because you've successfully tard-wrangled your manager.The swimsuits in the beach episode were originally skimpier, so that these would be considered 'the compromise".
>>153970146>>153972828Wanting your characters to look and dress ugly to please a social media hivemind is degenerate.Draw women beautiful again
>>153973981
>>153970146> Showing girls in bikinis Evil right wing chuddines> Saying girls IRL shouldn't dress like this Evil right wing chuddinesThe mind of a liberal
>>153970428Pretty standard industry practice for getting around S&P though.
>>153969938They didn't. They had to tone it dien from their original proposal
>>153972968This makes my banana stiff.
>>153969938No millenials.
