This was done pretty smoothly. Murray apparently had plans to make Ralph/Rachel transition in the 90s so I don’t get what the fuss is all about.

Interesting, and first I have heard of this; mind providing some source for that?

its pretty difficult to articulate honestly. it isn't that people on Yea Forums are homophobic. (although there probably are some, on this board its likely a loud minority of only a few people) what I would guess is the case is that people see any references to the lgbtq and interperet it as propaganda
Josiah Martin
I didn't care for the sex change that much
That said, this special was so far up it's own ass about THING'S CHANGE, THE THINGS YOU LOVE CAN'T STAY THE SAME FOR DECADES, that it just just ruins the potential of a fun special
Beavis and Butthead made a great comeback in 2011 by just doing the same shit just in the modern era, Rocko could have done the same and been entertaining

Just not sure about the voice.
Not just because its deep, but because she's dressing femininely, so I'd figure she also try to sound feminine.

She's disabled from the waist down

But that shouldn't complicate her taking a bath since she's in a sitting position. Though getting in and out would be cumbersome.

Murray should go with it just to see Ed have another mental breakdown.

I'm going to take a guess and say that 's misinterpreting something from an article on CBR. I'm guessing he heard it in Shoe0nHead's video, because she also misunderstood that particular quote (or intentionally read it out of context. )
>"For Murray, the storyline was a chance to do something he could only hint at 20 years ago."
If you read the whole article, what this is referring to is how he couldn't openly do LGBT themes at all in the past, not specifically a Ralph/Rachel transition. He could only hint at it, like in Closet Clown. Ralph becoming Rachel was only decided for Static Cling when another writer suggested it, and he loved the idea. He was actually really nervous about pitching it to Nick, but they ate it up.

Well whatever the case, he was totally in favor of the idea.

Oh, no doubt. And I think it worked out great overall, despite what people on here say. Bringing something fresh like that to an established character is tough.

if a male character was suddenly female 30 years ago it would have been a joke, the whole tranny acceptance thing didn't get popular until late 2010s
Sebastian Rodriguez
I'm a huge Rocko fan, but I haven't watched the special yet. I'm not transphobic, I dgaf about trannies so long as they don't bother me.
I don't want to watch it because my completely uninformed assumption about the episode is that it will be completely hamfisted, because all LGBT stuff today has to be handled with kid gloves and put on a pedestal.
Blue-pillers need not reply, but to everyone else: is the special worth watching despite the LGBTQ stuff? Don't care about "brave" virtue signaling. I just want a last episode of Rocko that's funny and nostalgia tickling. I know about the themes of change the episode is supposed to have, but does "Rachel" and the storyline revolving around it just totally derail the thing?
Lincoln Gomez
It's pretty good. The lgbt stuff is just sort of quickly brushed to the side side with the exception of one scene halfway through with Ed finding out, but that too is just quickly brushed aside.
Other than that, its pretty much the same sort of surrealist humor you expect from rocko.
Grayson Martinez
Its isolated and could easily be replaced with Ralph having done any other thing that a parent might not be ok with. The plot is about Rocko trying to get his show back.
Matthew Turner
>is the special worth watching despite the LGBTQ stuff?
Yea Forumsmblr will insist it is but the truth is how much tolerance you have for something that's blatantly shoved into something for virtue signalling and is in a comedy that the creator is too terrified to even think of making joke's about. It's literally
>I am trans. This is good
>Other characters: Yes, this is good
>Clap clap clap
>Other characters: I thought it was not good, but I was wrong. This is good.
>Clap clap clap
Juan Anderson
>how much tolerance you have for something that's blatantly shoved into something for virtue signalling
Truth of the matter is, my tolerance for this is exceedingly low, especially these days with all the media that is ruined with this crap. But because of and I am willing to give it a try. Buckle up, going in hot.
Xavier Parker
Woah shit who posted the script on Yea Forums?
Alexander Ross
I want to buy a freezie pop from Rachel Bighead
Easton Cox
Mrs. Bighead isn't trans and even she has a hard time sounding feminine.
Sebastian Cruz
That's a smoker's voice.
Blake Thompson
It's just a fucking plot point. Besides Ralph/Rachel the rest of the characters all act like their typical selves and handle the situation the same way they normally would in the original show. Nobody is out-of-character and the dialogue isn't awkward. I don't get how a trans character simply existing is forced virtue signaling; Murray was completely in favor of doing this.
Brayden Roberts
>Nobody is out-of-character and the dialogue isn't awkward.
I just got to this point and you're wrong.
>WOW! COOL!
>That's AWESOME!
How is it awesome and/or cool? In character would've been something like "No wonder we couldn't find you! You changed your name!" or a classic "There's something different but I can't figure it out....new shoes?" But no, kid gloves. Trans character is cool/awesome and no jokes allowed.
>Murray was completely in favor of doing this.
That's fine. So far it doesn't seem forced or out of place, but if "Rachel" is a sacred cow that can't be touched in anyway when Rocko just got punched in a movie theater by nipples, then it's virtue signaling.
Ayden Nelson
I think there would have been more jokes made about Rachel if Nickelodeon didn't get GLAAD involved.
Lincoln Robinson
>I don't get how a trans character simply existing is forced virtue signaling
You're arguing with paranoid autists that get all their political opinions from anonymous imageboards. You should be well aware of how strong their delusions are by now.
Owen Green
Just finished it. Loved the callbacks, the voices were weird but it was 20 years later, what are you gonna do. The jokes were good, straight from classic Rocko.
The virtue signaling wasn't nearly as bad as everyone made it seem like it was going to be. It was quickly moved along but the "GLAAD approved" parts definitely stuck out like a sore thumb. "Rachel" was okay, but like I suspected she had a clear radius of "no jokes allowed" around her. Honestly I think it would've been okay if Ralph turned into Rachel but they didn't get any outside "influences" involved. In conclusion, if you like Rocko, watch it. It's a fitting end to the show. Would've been perfect if they hit Rachel with a pie or something but it doesn't kill the whole thing.
Thomas Harris
I’d say this is pretty obscure
Leo Rogers
There did joke about the name change, "Roger? I thought your name was Rachel?"
Jaxson Jackson
Yeah, real edgy stuff, that one. Just warming us up to when someone throws a cellphone into a tank and kills grandma.
Samuel Campbell
nice moving of the goalposts
Jack Johnson
Mommy
Tyler Allen
Yup, you're right. I guess it wasn't virtue signaling after all.
Cameron Scott
Great short.
Adam Sanchez
More like frog voice.
Still, I prefer to imagine a hoarse but distinctly female voice.
Grayson Fisher
Hold the fuck up, did the Bigheads’ animator son become a tranny?
Leo Jones
Yes. And that's a good thing! Here's why...
Gabriel Hill
Maybe
Jason Brooks
That kneejerk is "homophobic" though, in that it shows aversion to LGBT. Automatically seeing trans inclusion as propaganda comes off that way, but it's hard to tell because everyone is anonymous. Maybe they approach every moral, every situation, every opinion or thought in cartoons as propaganda. Maybe they really called the straight white cis male domination of the main character slot as straight white cis male propaganda. Maybe they're just retarded with cynicism like that and it isn't just selective
Jack Martinez
>I dgaf about trannies so long as they don't bother me.
right, like trans people are just going to walk up to you and bother you and talk to you
Jackson Kelly
>because all LGBT stuff today has to be handled with kid gloves and put on a pedestal.
Sounds like your beef is with clickbait, but you project that problem onto the actual shows because you're intellectually dishonest enough to worry about "virtue signalling".
Gavin Perez
Who dat?
Joseph Ward
And it's everything!
Luis Turner
Until you have to allow them to use the same bathroom as your 8 year old daughter, or court mandated HRT on your child.
Really? Why did GLAAD have to be involved at all? So that they could virtue signal or to make sure Nickelodeon didn't offend the PC police and make something that got the rainbow stamp of approval? You're the one being intellectually dishonest if you think that isn't the case.
If anything, I would applaud Static Cling as being one of the least hamfisted piece of media in recent memory that involved transgenderism. It was actually in character for one: Ralph Bighead is a weird guy who is extremely fickle, as indicated by him running off and carving the world's biggest still life into the side of a mountain. Why wouldn't he just arbitrarily decide he was a woman? Totally fine with that, and in the 90's it would've been played off like a joke, and "oooh look and gawk at the weirdo." That's not PC today, and I get that. But to say there wasn't any "awkward dialogue" around it is false. Filburt and Heffer were completely out of character in their "celebration" of it and it reeks of GLAAD putting their hands on it. At the worst they would've been weirded out (especially since they only thing they watched was the Fatheads tape for 20 years), barring that they haven't been completely indoctrinated in 21st century thinking (which it seems like they had been), or just kinda meh/ "ok....can you make Fatheads again."
Gabriel Hughes
I Highly doubt Murray planned this 20-30 years ago.
I Like the way it was done in Static Cling though,Most of the time when a character is trans that becomes the focal point and everything else grinds to a screeching halt.
Murray didn't do that,Ralph becoming Rachel was a side-plot that tied into the main story and wasn't a massive thing,It felt natural and not out-of-place or forced.
