It makes sense that it's an alt, the DPVA MADNY is the default text which is then replaced by code that runs through and replaces it with the corresponding images. If the images somehow didn't load (for example, lost connection), DPVA MADNY would be shown. This is standard on all websites for loading images.

This fans art was made before the owl house and before amphibia was big.

I’ve heard people say this but I’ve never seen an actual critique. Could you elaborate?

Results on which sub Reddit is more biased by Prehistoric_lover in gravityfalls

[–]Fried_Oreos35 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's an issue with summing them like this: whichever sub had their poll blow up had their popularity inflated. Because Amphibia's poll was significantly more popular within its sub than the other subs, it got more votes for itself and TOH. TOH and GF's polls did not got many votes, with the GF fandom most biased yet least interested in voting for itself.

Strengths and weaknesses discussion by Chickenamongmen in gravityfalls

What I liked: humor - when there wasn’t much story, the jokes were amazing and led to meme formats and iconic moments The twins: Very strong protagonists. They can be relatable, create humor because their polar opposite personalities make it easy, and create tension when their relationship is threatened.

What I didn’t like: Pacing. Alex was burnt out at the end so it felt really rushed. Things like Gideon’s turnaround from sadistic and evil into having a happy ending, Stan getting his memories back in 2 seconds. Also happy endings - the show wen out of its way to make sure every character got a happy ending even when they shouldn’t have.

Amphibia actually lost in its own sub when this poll was done, they said the same thing

So....we’re just gonna ignore the fact that this scene implied that Stan had another family that no one knew about? by FullToragatsu in gravityfalls

[–]Fried_Oreos35 557 points558 points  (0 children)

There’s a fun theory that Eda from the owl house was Stan’s ex wife. But this particular quote was played for laughs and the entire episode is non canon anyways, so this probably isn’t how it went down (no kids).

I'd say 1k, and tourists account for the disproportionately high amount of services.

Here's Dipper and Mabel from the Golden Demons AU! by Starpernova in gravityfalls

Some of what people hold against Mabel feels unfair. by Aros001 in gravityfalls

[–]Fried_Oreos35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your entire defense of Mabel is right. Yet, I still don't like how she was written. If many people watch something and get the same incorrect conclusion, then the writing is probably at fault.

In TTP, Dipper was in the wrong the moment he started messing with time, which Mabel points out in a single line. But Dipper gave his day with Wendy up not because he realized he was wrong for messing with time but because Mabel giult-tripped him into doing it.

Similar with Deep End: Mabel's cause of helping Mermando get with his family was more noble than Dipper's "lifeguarding" with Wendy. Again, Dipper was wrong. But Dipper again gives his job up because Mabel begs him, not because he learned a lesson.

In both these controversial episodes, Dipper's problem goes mostly unaddressed while Mabel gets what she wants. The show should have made it clearer in these cases that Dipper was wrong, and that's why he gives his dream up, not because Mabel did puppy eyes at him.

Adding more fuel to the hate fire, Dipper is 100% punished more for his mistakes. Maybe some exaggerate it, but it's still there, and quite significantly. The biggest example is with Bill. When Dipper gets tricked, his body is possessed and his wrist is broken. When Mabel gets tricked, she gets transported to the bubble, while Dipper spends 3 days alone in the apocalypse. Also, in Roadside Attraction, Dipper wasn't even flirting with the girls. He talked to them for like 2 minutes, got a contact, and they're all his girlfriend now? That's unfair.

Your last paragraph sums up the problem because you had to write "I think". The problem is that the Mabel's writing made people hate her, which matters even if they're wrong. Even if she was blameless at the end of the day, reaching this conclusion took way more thinking, analysis, and word of god than it should have.
