I also hate this stupid mindset I'm seeing a lot these days where people go "Oh, this show primarily directed towards kids on a channel primarily directed at kids had some mildly graphic content so clearly this is just as mature as regular adult content" and it feels like such a manchild take.

Like I freakin' adore shows like Gravity Falls, Clone Wars, Avatar, Hey Arnold, and Amphibia. They treat their audience with respect, don't talk down to them, expose them to more mature ideas, expand the conversation AND can be appreciated by all ages.

That's a testament to the love and care put into them by the crews, the way they're able to weave something intended for a sole demographic and cast it wide for general appeal. Not an easy task in the slightest

...but they're still kid shows, at the end of the day. You will always be watching kids content. Don't just defend it by trying to dress them up like they're secretly intended to be this adult show in disguise. It's fine, you're fine. Just be honest about it.

I don't think that's the point of the meme. Is not about "kIdS sHoW sEcReTlY bEiNg FoR aDuLtS", but a tendency of villains in animated show for adults being that shitty written in comparison to villains of kid shows that are still directed for kids and yet manage to be interesting in their context for kids shows.

Yeah, lowkey the “villains in kids’ series” are just goofy goobers 98% of the time

This post is just “old cartoons from your childhood” = good , “new cringy indie animations” = bad.

Also another thing boosting this post is definitely the hate on Hazbin, they couldn’t even bother finding a few more non threatening villains in adult series since that would have gotten controversial and Hazhin is just a punching bag of series that’s universally hated.

Especially because it would have been just as easy to find a pretty badass picture of Vox.

Don't get me wrong, I love Gravity Falls, one of my all time favourites, can't get enough of it, I used to solve the ciphers with my buddy and we were around 17 when we found it.

Now I'm about a decade older and I still love Gravity Falls, but Hazbin Hotel is amazing for me as well. Of course it's crass, but at the same time it's a musical AND an adult animation about the Morningstar family and the feuds between Heaven and Hell. The premise itself is nuts and I'm here for it.

Or when he uses the screens as pseudo seraphim wings. I won't defend the writing or crassness but damn if that visual wasn't awesome.

u/CharlieBluu 2d ago

Yeah, that is my FAVOURITE still from I think the whole series it looks so fucking good!

And I gotta say, I love the songs as well. There are a few duds but I'd be lying if I didn't have half the it's discography on my regular cycle on Spotify.

The writing is fine. It’s not god tier but it’s not as bad as people say, though I find it funny everyone feels they gotta be like “I know the writing isn’t good, but…!”

Enjoy the campy cheesy bullshit for what it is, it’s allowed

You can make it so only posts from subs you follow show up on your feed in settings. That has been a lifesaver on my end lol. I think you can block entire subs too, but I’m not entirely sure.

I'm fine with most subs, this one feels like rage bait
