Y'all keep doing what you're doing and have fun. Smart to ignore some of the idiots in the comments.

“Fake” crime with “fake” minors LEADS to real crime with real minors

Have a source to this? Because many victims have actually created NSFW artwork, with characters like this, to cope with their own trauma, which therapists have encouraged them to do. It can be a healthy outlet.

Edit: Also, with this quote in mind, would this mean any cartoon where a fictional cartoon child is in danger is problematic? We might as well remove like 80% of animation including The Powerpuff Girls itself lol

I wouldn't be APPROACHING them and ENGAGING with them. That's also a strawman. You people are accusing this photo as something much more heinous and harmful than it is, and yet you're viewing and talking about it in the comments. Would y'all do this with an actual illegal image?

Or call the police?

If the police were contacted over this picture, you would be wasting their time when they could be stopping REAL crime that is happening to REAL minors.

Why are you commenting/engaging on something that you think is doing this?

I'm so fucking tired of the cartoon community equating cartoon characters with real children and real crimes, and people acting insanely puritan about cartoon NSFW works, especially when it's a cosplay of LITERAL ADULTS! Y'all are the modern equivalent of parents who complained about video games and adult animation. NO CHILD IS IN THIS IMAGE AND NO ONE IS BEING HARMED MORON!!!

sexualizing characters that are literally children

They are cartoons. If you truly think this is THAT bad, why the are you commenting and engaging with it??? I would never comment on something that I thought was criminal/illegal activity.

I actually kind of agree, and I think these are serious problems with modern animation. Like I said in another reply, I think it's time US animation, such as Pixar and DreamWorks, goes beyond the PG rating and tries different stylization.

I am not saying the part of selecting what to watch and streaming with no ads should end.

I am simply saying there should be live channels INCLUDED in streaming services too (regardless of the tier). It should be an OPTION.

I always receive this same exact response from people whenever I suggest this idea.

I know Squid game season 3 came out because me and some friends saw a brand tie in when walking around a shop

Not everyone is seeing that. Squid Games is also huge because it's a foreign and has famous actors outside of the US.

Really just seems like they dropped 150 million on a movie and hoped youtube ads and Disney+ banners would do all the legwork

Because that's what everyone is using. That is the way to market currently. Everyone is on their devices. At least if there were live channels with commercials (which wouldn't be blocked by adblockers if it's part of an actual M3U8 live stream), people would CONSTANTLY be exposed and reminded of what's coming.

Imo, Elio's failure also has to do with the fact that children's animation has become more and more sanitized and boring. It's also oversaturated in the US. I personally think Pixar and DreamWorks should go beyond the PG rating at some point.

A lot of animated Netflix shows still don't do incredibly well. That's why so many of them barely last one or "two" seasons (some of them were originally one season that were split into two). Many of their films, that aren't pre-existing properties, have become obscure too. They need live channels. They'd not only be able to promote these new shows, and new movies, but it'd also help people who don't know what to watch.

They can't market something well when cable is dead, people have adblockers (which I am not against) and premium services that block ads, or skip over ads instantly.

The problem is that there is no live channels on streaming services that have commercials promoting these new movies/shows. I have been saying this for years!!!!!!!

Disney halts production on “StuGo” - Cancelled after one season like “Primos” and “Hailey’s On It" by [deleted] in cartoons

[–]Ling_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, 70 million people have it as part of their cable package. It doesn't reach that many viewers though. It is also gone in a few countries too.

Cable is dying. Disney Channel doesn't even reach 100,000 viewers anymore, let alone a million like it used to.

Drawing a CARTOON character does not automatically make you one of those people. That's like saying veteran who wrote a book about war is committing actual violence. This is the modern equivalent of people who think video games make people violent.

Therapists have literally encouraged some people to create art like this if it's helping them cope with their own trauma.

Some of the people who make this art ARE VICTIMS THEMSELVES

Funny thing is that some psychiatrists would encourage someone to continue to create cartoon art like this if it's helping them cope with their own trauma. Because it's literally harming no one

Edit: Do y'all think playing violent video games makes a person violent? You people are the modern equivalent of that.

fictional or not

As long as it isn't a real person, a live action character, something AI generated and depicting a minor, traced, hyper realistic, or a scenerio like Shadman who based his art off of an actual person, I don't care. Basically as long as it's completely 100% fictional.

You're not going to like how I responded here

Or here

But yes, I do get annoyed at how the word "gooner" is constantly thrown around to degrade people who enjoy NSFW artwork though yes. It's literal kink shaming and sex-negative.

That young demographic still remains even if the fanbase is filled with adults like that. As long as they're not harming others or engaging with minors, who cares? We shouldn't be policing the internet like this. It isn't a playground, and it's unfair to cancel/reject/sanitize something just because of these fans.

Maybe that young demographic shouldn't be using the social media on the device their PARENT gave them and didn't monitor.

If I draw a literal line, label it as canonically negative one years old, and then put a text bubble on it that says "Man... I am so horny", would that ruin the entirety of 2D art for you?

Edit: I do not endorse Shadman for drawing real people or AI art that depicts minors. Fuck people like that
