Cartoon/Western Animation General

You’d be surprised, there’s some out there. Hopefully, it’s not widespread though.
 
People get offended by everything, heck, look at Apu.

@Beau Skunky  
I really doubt that it’s widespread

It would unfortunately make sense, given how few curvy females there are in recent media and how in general there is a trend towards increased prudeness in the 2010s-2020s, but it also sounds too hard to believe that it’s real.

@Beau Skunky  
There’s a medium article that tried to say Korra was too white.

@Cyborg_pony  
Isn’t she… Rather tan, so to speak?

@Cyborg_pony  
Wasn’t she Innuit or something?

@Beau Skunky  
I believe she’s supposed to be an Eskimo

@Beau Skunky  
I guess, she’s native inuit(world equivalent).
 
So i don’t know where that’s on the race spectrum.

@northern haste  
I’m not a huge Avatar/Korra fan, so I wouldn’t know. The movie was guilty of whitewashing though.
 
Regardless, that notion some people have that, “You’re too white to be what your race is.” still is a rather toxic mindset.  
(“Fresh Prince” can be deep sometimes.)

@Beau Skunky  
I’m part native American but I’m pretty pale,mostly.

@Beau Skunky  
They definitely didn’t get the role for they’re acting talent.although strangely the Japanese fire nation became Indian in the movie

@Cyborg_pony  

 
…What? How?! She’s literally dark-skinned!
 
@Beau Skunky  

 
Holy crap, I forgot about that scene. Damn.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Bekuz leik it’s leik kinda a New York City and leik that’s totes white.

@TheHappySpaceman  
A white girl cosplayed as Korra and was criticized for being too white to do that. She was Korra’s VA.

@Dex Stewart  
So am I, though oddly a friend mistook me for Asian. lol
 
@Vivace  
Sad…
 
@TheHappySpaceman  
As I said “Fresh Prince” can be deep sometimes.

@Vivace  
…
 

 
@Cyborg_pony  
Oh, you mean the show, not the character?
 
@Beau Skunky  
Sure can.

@Vivace  
Good thing the show is already over so she can’t quit, scraping the ground as she leaves the studio, to leave room for a black an appropriately-raced voice actress.

 
I would just like to say Ren and Stimpy had some of the best expressions ever.

reads through all the new posts and sighs I miss the good old days of cartoons…

@Hali the Emoji girl  
Me too… I especially miss Saturday Morning cartoons. I know people are like “Just watch Nick/CN,” but they hardly ever show anything new like the Saturday morning lineups did, and what made them kinda special was they were on Networks anyone could get, and ones that normally didn’t show cartoons, or cater to kids. It really made you feel like Saturday was your day as a kid.
 
@Dex Stewart  
That was a good show. ^{(John K.’s disgusting crimes aside.)}

The SpongeBob SquarePants prequel spin-off series Kamp Koral will no longer debut on Nickelodeon and will now release on CBS All Access in 2021.
 
Wow, this show died before it even had a chance to be born. XD

@TheHappySpaceman  
Good.

Kamp koral is no longer premiering on Nickelodeon and is going to on CBS all access instead.  
^{probably not a good sign}

@Beau Skunky  

 
People never continuously bring up Chris Savino’s transgressions whenever Loud House comes up like they do for R&S and John K because they can’t come to terms with John K’s inescapable long-term influence over the direction of the animation industry compared to Savino, who could only ever manage mediocrity.

I still have some recorded cartoons from around 1997 on VHS
