Western Cartoons (and animation)

[Guest]

Arthouse animated films suck. They're almost always directed by Jews who have worked exclusively in live action and the subject matter is either preachy shit about social issues or misery porn about shit like divorce. They're always ugly too, with a stop-motion or rotoscoped style that falls into the uncanny valley. Dishonest and cynically made.

The moral lesson of "Invincible" is that if you have super powers for life, for some reason, you still have to bound yourself down to college and relationship baggage or else you are Hitler. Every other line of dialogue is noting something of importance as a snark question.

Conversation with my brother brought this up to the top of mind and subsequently I posted about it in the shoutbox which also attracted some interest. We both recalled this as a sort of weird, disturbing, depressing movie. Just about every kid in America seems to have watched this at some point. The entire movie has this extremely helpless and guilt-inducing tone. Seems like a big hit with the mental health obsessives. Moralistic toon content like this always struck me as a bad influence. I keep this in mind particularly as I recall the recent TracingWoodgrains thread trying to discredit the classic "edgy" cartoon tradition as ugly and spiritually corrupt. 

 

In addition to Brave Little Toaster, my brother and I also discussed Rugrats. Another cartoon that in retrospect has a very odd tone. And one that is proudly, conspicuously Jewish. I remember as kid having less than no interest in the show, although as being a kid goes I simply watched countless hours anyway for lack of anything better to do. A show about babies seems inherently uninteresting to an actual kid, not the least when there are other options available like Spongebob or Invader Zim.  Looking back on it this show seems to have taken these low brow poop books for parents of newborns and ran with it to the tune of NINE bloody seasons. This show in particular seems quite rotten. Lots of pissing, shitting, barfing, toilet-centric episodes. Okay, sure, its about babies and those are things that immediately adjacent to babies...but it's ANIMATION and you CAN do whatever you want. Who thinks of lazering in on that perspective when you can make a show about anything, other than deranged kikes? 





Real choice thumbnail there, huh? All I had to lookup was "Rugrats" to get these results. I disinctly remember a love of medical institutions on this show. Hospitals, doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists. Weird mental complex episodes like Stu Pickles having amensia and regressing to a baby. And weird overly progressive parental arrangements as well. In fact at least half of the cartoon's moralism seems dedicated to "normalizing" all this for parents moreso than even kids. 





Of course as a Klasky product it's ugly as shit too. Deformed characters with awful, loudmouth voices, domineering women and cringing mangina fathers. And look at what a mess that bumper is. Nipple squirting right into the camera, Angelica's doll with burnt scraggly hair, Chuckie's untied shoes because we apparently don't have enough visual clutter already. I rarely see this show catching any of the belt-fed snark and criticism being blasted at actual cartoons kids like all day. Maybe it's simply not remembered at any scale, but more likely I think these shows sneak right past stupid parents where their edgy, and more popular with ACTUAL KIDS counterparts get caught flat footed by their miscalibrated "media threat" radar. I have heard of many people whose parents banned Spongebob and EEnE from households. How many households banned this malignant libtard propaganda in all its bodily-fluid soaked inglory? I doubt many did.
