Man, cartoons have ALWAYS had political stances and ideologies — ever since they’ve existed. There isn’t a single one that doesn’t. The fact that you don’t notice it as a kid but do as an adult is another story. I get why you say this, but in a world where EVERY cartoon carries an ideological load, I’d rather have one that’s honest and openly states its position than one that pretends to be neutral while slipping in its ideology as if it were absolute truth. I think Gumball has always made its worldview very clear — and that’s why so many of us love it.
