has anyone noticed cartoons favour the abusers a lot?

catra gets to be with adora
hordak gets to live happily
steven universe diamonds get to live happily
megatron gets more good endings than starscream
and the latest, tadc focuses so much on jax over the female characters he abuses
>>
because it's an homage to the trickster legacy of cartoon mascots

This world exists to be a playground for abusers and sadists. The victims are in the wrong for wanting to defy the status quo. They should just allow themselves to be abused and tortured. That is their designated role in society.

Megatron is not "Starscream's abuser", he is the mean leader of the bad guy faction who treats everyone beneath him shitty except for the one or two guys he likes.

Anon, Jaxxy-boy killed himself off screen, his final meeting with Pomni only served to multiply his anguish, his corpse had been reduced to a pet kept out of sentimental value and then everyone else had their lives turned into one of eternal bliss.

Yes, like Flame Princess and Finn.
>>
>>154079666
Also the thing he killed himself over, ie what Kinger did, is actually the best thing that could happen to them and solved everything, as it gave Caine a breather to reassess his approach and led to said eternal bliss
>>
>>154079665
Also I like that in the IDW gobots comic Starscrem is revealed to be the fusion of the two biggest pieces of shit in robot history so he deserves to be treated like shit and cannot help but make everything worse by nature

>where do you think we are.png

and all that.
>>
>>154077993
It's because those characters usually drive the dramatic tension in stories, so they're a lot more fun to focus on or write. They also often have the best arcs when they go from asshole -> good/normal.

Also abusive characters in stories aren't the same as abusive people in real life. By virtue of being in a story it's usually implied that they'll either become a better person, or they'll be punished if they refuse to change. All of the characters you listed probably fall into one of those two categories. Real life abusers are a lot messier and darker, they often get away with their actions indefinitely.

>has anyone noticed cartoons favour the abusers a lot?
Yes, but Jax was never an abuser. He was treated horribly for what amounted to littering.
>catra gets to be with adora
Because it's hot. That's literally why.
>hordak gets to live happily
Because he helped saved the world or something.
>steven universe diamonds get to live happily
The diamonds did nothing wrong, really. Name 1 thing. "Oh no. Alien overlord queens are spreading to lifeless planets and making near utopias out of them ohhhh noooo!"
All they did was fuck up Earth, and they stopped after Steven.
>megatron gets more good endings than starscream
Aren't they both bad, and starscream just is disloyal or something?
>and the latest, tadc focuses so much on jax over the female characters he abuses
Well, acktually, Jax IS female.

Anyway, the pain in the digital circus has far more to do with the mental torment than the physical stuff. Time and time again, throughout the show, they get beat up and they don't care. Pomni gets stabbed, stretched, etc, and it's fine. And if you think about who was mentally tormented in the show by other characters the most, it's very obviously Jax.
The kind of comuppance he recieves is always disproportionate to what he dishes out. He acts like a nuisance, and then gets Clockwork Oranged in return. He gets sexually assaulted.

>b-but jax threw zooble into a volcano
So? You fuckers are willing to forgive Caine for making a volcano. It's silly nonsense video game shit.

Ralph should have just accepted that he exists to be hated.

>>154077993
Jax's worst "victim" abused others for a living and tried it on the others in the circus besides jax despite them not doing anything to her kek. Jax's mommy was also abusive to the point it made him how he is. Jax does way less than caine but gets turned into a barely living pet creature while caine is seemingly accepted and loved by everyone extremely quickly despite having a whole episode dedicated to torturing them for responding poorly to the previous torture. If the characters themselves don't care about much worse being done to them it doesn't make sense bitching about what jax did on their behalf. None of it matters besides the fact they're all revealed as soulless copies.
>>
>>154081023
Not really since the games are just acting roles and they interact with other characters outside of them which clearly isn't intended. What they did was like genuinely hating heath ledger because you think he's actually the joker.

Society needs designated punching bags to function. Once you are designated as a punching bag, that is all you will ever be.

Mad props to Goose for following through with killing the darling character
Most creators don't have the stones to kill favorites, though the fact that Goose clearly viscerally hates Jax helped.
>>
>>154080825
I feel like this stuff is the reason why we never saw Zooble come on any adventures, one of the first things she does is choke him out for stealing her arm.
With just about anything that he's done wrong in the circus, it's either Caine's adventures enabling them or nobody else having any agency at all and stepping in against him.

>Mad props to Goose for following through with killing the darling character
Did he really? Abstraction is less death and more a comatose state Caine hasn’t figured out curing yet. Plus Jax’s real self is still out there.
The ending felt really "have your cake and eat it too" imo
>>
>>154077993
Meg is like that too. You can count on one hand the number of times she gets to win over Family Guy and his friends.

Gooseworx is notorious for having a lobotomy fetish. There's a lot of art he drew involving head drilling alongside a recently found commission about the fetishization of abstraction and the resultant loss of autonomy. I'm don't want to post these on a blue board on a Saturday and they're not hard to find. By all means in Goose's cuckoo head, Jax got the best ending.

Villains are always more interesting than heroes, yes. Are you unhappy that they get the better songs too?

It’s mostly a language issue we’ve forgotten how to talk about the transgressions of a 22 year old asshole in jail without whipping out the feather of ma’at
