First Family Guy giong to air on Freefrom, then this happens:
>Freeform is making its way into the animation world with two new series focused on women: Betches and Woman World.
>Betches is based on the wildly popular multimedia brand of the same name, created by Samantha Fishbein, Jordana Abraham, and Aleen Kuperman. The half-hour, irreverent animated series that will follow three best friends and roommates as they navigate early adulthood in New York City together. The three women loudly try to figure out who they are in their careers and in love. They make almost every mistake in the book along the way, but they’re doing their best to make sure they have an anything-but-basic life. Rachel Koller (Lady Bits with Lauren Giraldo) will write the pilot and Emma Roberts (American Horror Story) will produce the series alongside the Fishbein, Abraham and Kuperman. Carli Haney, Kesila Childers and Gil Goldschein from reality TV banner Bunim-Murray Productions (Keeping Up With The Kardashians, The Real World) are set to executive produce.
>Woman World, a half-hour, comedic animated series based on Aminder Dhaliwal’s graphic novel of the same name. The pilot playfully answers the question “what would our world look like if men became extinct?” This community of women leans on each other for survival as they search for love and their identity in this ladies-only existence. The pilot is executive produced by Felicia Day (The Guild, Geek & Sundry) and written by Dhaliwal (Pinky Malinky, Close Enough).
>Freeform is making its way into the animation world with two new series focused on women: Betches and Woman World. Why is freeform the tumblr channel now
Thomas Phillips
i think it was because of pretty little liars
Jace Baker
That show glorified so many things wrong with both modern high school and modern women. I wish it was a crime to produce that type of sewage which has a detrimental effect on the world.
Did you know that there are women outside of tumblr, and that TV shows aimed at women have existed for decades?
Aaron Hughes
Meh, the first one sounds just there and the second one of the worst premises I’ve heard of. Either way getting more adult-oriented animated shows out there is a start
Elijah Robinson
Women's world is about men being extinct.
Is this ascended fanfiction? It sounds like ascended fanfiction.
Good on them. About time we got more adult animated series
Samuel Gray
>this is allowed to exsist while being one of the most sexist things in existence literally celebrating the genocide of men, yet I’m in the wrong because I think disney wars sucks These people can’t contract cancer fast enough
Benjamin Morales
will it have the same art style?
Landon Collins
Because it's a premium station. They need to find a niche that loves them, not make broadly popular TV shows that a lot of people would like but not enough to pay for.
Adrian Carter
>They need to find a niche that loves them, not make broadly popular TV shows that a lot of people would like but not enough to pay for. I keep hearing this excuse, but why then does every thing try to appeal to this one niche and ignore every other market now?
Jack Morris
That second update made me smile and exhale.
Aiden Myers
Because Americans haven't been good at being capitalists since the 90's
>Woman World Why does this remind me of sin fest so much?
Tyler Collins
A more specific answer is that because of the consolidation of communication, entire generations of business and marketing school grads went full retard trying to make sense of something that used to be much more curated. It isn't that they can't find a niche, its that they used to be able to very easily create and control a manufactured niche, and now the internet kind of threw that out of whack by having different niches pop in and out of existence within a couple of months. Not nearly enough time to capitalize on for Bobby marketer who's just there for a paycheck, so they double down on some more set in stone niches. The whole hyper liberal feminist "woke" niche just happened to be around long enough for marketers to start considering it a niche that isn't going away and thus isn't volatile, a safe bet.
This is what happen when you go so deep down the rabbit hole of marketing lingo that you lose track of how to even do your job right.
Brody Carter
Not as bad as it could be. Don't be a faggot.
Eli Johnson
Confirmation bias? Love Death and Robots was VERY aimed at straight guys, for instance (yes there was that girl power short, but generally it was Titties The Series). Shazam and Endgame aren't aimed at women, either.
Aaron Jackson
>early adulthood in New York City Unlike the rest of you NERDS, I choose to be turned off by the idea of a show about twenty-somethings who can somehow afford to live in the heart of New York City.
Alexander Phillips
Read on how Freeform has to air a religious show every day it’s the funniest shit
Evan Hill
>Is that why all this SJW shit always fails then?
I mean, what do you count as "SJW shit"? Captain Marvel is closing on a billion, Us made five times its budget back already, Squirrel Girl seems to be doing fairly well on the comics front, too.
Xavier Moore
loser
Jaxon Lewis
Captain marvel had a huge loss of revenue and Disney was funneling money into theaters and buying up empty theaters, your point
Grayson Sanders
I'm surprised Disney hasn't tried to just buy out the channel and/or renege upon the contract. What's the 700 Club gonna do? Boycott the channel? Take Disney to court? Give the money back to them?
Christian Williams
Don’t be an utter cuck Literally everything is made for the feminists market now. Look at how fucked up Star Wars has gotten. >let light hearted reddit superhero movies Those are for stunted faggots who can’t grow up
Nicholas Wood
If I were trapped in a world without men, I probably kill myself, or make a big sect and then make a Jonestownesque "sacrifice".
Caleb Gomez
>No one can possibly like what I don't like >Disney is faking it! >It's all a conspiracy! >A conspiracy, I tell you!
Andrew White
>The pinnicle of womens immagination is a being a 20 something middle class white chick in NYC or a world without men.
What did they mean by this
Grayson Martin
t. femanon (male)
Ethan Morris
They did like 2 years ago. They offered to match Robertson's yearly revenue and he still won't budge.
Carter Watson
It's pretty cute and actually harmless. The show however might not be so
Nolan Hall
>The pinnicle of womens immagination
First, learn how to fucking spell. Second, this is some inoffensive bullshit for easy watching, it isn't the 2001 of feminist television
Benjamin Collins
>Literally everything is made for the feminists market now
What about superhero movies like Shazam, and Ave-
>Those are for stunted faggots who can’t grow up
Oh, okay, so those don't count because you don't like them. What about Love, Death and Robots? Or, getting out of Yea Forums media, Game of Thrones or Netflix series like The Legend of Cocaine Island?
Chase Ortiz
I assume The 700 Club is placed in the absolute worst time slot, then.
Gabriel Richardson
>4:00 am >11:00 pm
just checked the schedule now, they're trying to bury it. This is why no one under 30 has cable anymore
>This is why no one under 30 has cable anymore Makes less sense. Are you saying that people under 30 are the prime demographic for "The 700 Club" and Disney's efforts to bury the show are a reason why they've opted to discard cable in favor of alternatives?
Christian Evans
I'm saying that the commercials, schedule shenanigans and the fact that half the runtime of a typical day is Reba reruns is why people under 30 don't use cable.
Michael Smith
Or what about Fast and Furious?
Isaac Campbell
>The pilot playfully answers the question “what would our world look like if men became extinct?” I imagine it would go something like this >women with the emotional hardness required to lead like Ayn Rand and Margaret Thatcher end up in charge >nothing is efficient any more because most of the women spend their time bitching at and about each other and complain constantly about life being harder than it used to be >all welfare and benefits are taken away by the empathy devoid libertarian/ancap female leaders to force women to work harder or die >holocaust of the useless women happens within about five years
Owen Powell
Think Y The last man, but without Y The Last Man.
Henry Johnson
And I think Secret Life, a show about a single teen mom, was their most popular show ever.
Asher Bell
Or Godzilla: King of the Monsters? Or Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (or Tarantino movies generally)? Or Good Boys?
Liam Morales
>tv shows user, the entire television industry is built around and for women
Jeremiah Turner
That Paul Blart one made me chuckle.
Aiden Mitchell
So this is what the first show is based on.
instagram.com/betches
They just keep saying "that's me/you!" and "so true!" on every post. With some "yass girl, slayyyy" mixed in. I wonder if they will give the main characters these catch phrases or something.
Connor Foster
>will follow three best friends and roommates as they navigate early adulthood in New York City together Wow, what a groundbreaking idea.
Carson Scott
I am pretty sure making women all bi would hetero-phobic.
Grayson Brown
is family guy really the right show for them to be starting this off on FREEFORM only christians and women who've seen every disney and harry potter movie a thousand times watch this channel i mean bobs burgers would have made more see above
Cooper Howard
syfy, tbs, comedy central, and now freeform want to start adult animation but non of them have yet to really do anything i mean the last time comedy central made a cartoon worth a damn was almost 10 years ago and tbs has all their animated shows on hold
Dominic Bennett
ok so the first one is sex and the city but YA #relatable and the second one is gonne be one of those shitty "soul healing" works
Bentley Smith
Honestly sounds like a bunch of really boring crap that'll touch just enough of the perceived progressive audience that media will call the shows revolutionary when it's pretty apparent they're not.
First one will be you're atypical small fishes in a big pond and the hijinx of trying to make it story where I'm sure there'll be a surface level message about female empowerment and some progressive cause that's fotm.
Second one is the tried and true what if all of x was gone formula. The spin will probably be that things are hard of course but overall better with no men around.
Meh. At this point this is to be expected. Just more cartoons I wont have interest in watching really.
Bentley Torres
>the world is purged of incompetent women >only women left are the ones who are as competent as men, if not MORE >outta nowhere god says "ok guys done" and un-raptures men back to earth >now men and women are equally as competent >humanity is ready to advance to the next stage as a species
