Maybe. With the continuity, it's hard to believe that some characters will just be gone forever.
should have given it more time OP
Report any shipping bullshit
is there a more base show than Mao Mao?
Triggered the fags
fucked a tanuki that could turned into anything
a harem of sisters
Bao Bao is pretty smart even if he's distracted easily. If he thinks Mao Mao needs him again, he'll come back. It would be pretty lame though if he does come back and just follows a butterfly offscreen again after the evil is defeated. Unless that butterfly is a transformed Tanya.
I’m so glad I was right all along, that absolutely nothing can ruin my night now. Thank you Mr. Simmons, I hope your skin is thick enough to get through the storm.
I think it would have been neat if these guest characters were established as living nearby, so they can visit every once in a while without having to make shit up.
I want to see some more mythical animals in the show
he deleted his second post
How is this going to affect him among the animation community? They are pretty bad about toeing the mark when it comes to standard sjw talking points. He might have a hard time getting work after this series if he gets labeled a homophobe
There's definitely going to be a duel at some point but when, where, and under what context remains to be seen. Can we leave the controversy and go back to the old threads? Simmons deleted both Tumblr posts, and I feel like it would be best to forget this ever happened.
No matter what happens, he can always make bank on commissions.
Furry commissions
I can't wait till Mao Mao "If it's gay, they'll die today" Mao gets to put those degenerate Sky pirates to death
Well, yeah they're a solid 80% of the commission-market.
have you thanked him on twitter and tumblr yet?
I'm mass-downloading the entire Mega archive because I'm paranoid it will be taken down.
I don't have those things.
>gay shipping drama surrounding the last decent CN cartoon left
Mao Mao Mao doesn't deserve this.
I don't have a stick in the game, but I'm worried about what this means for Simmons' future as an animator.
>He might have a hard time getting work
oh my god, get a grip. hardly anyone is raking him over the coals on Twitter, which is where most industry people make connections. people working off tens of thousands of dollars in student loans from art school aren't on the side of a bunch of turbonerds who spend all day on the computer not getting exactly what they wanted from a kids cartoon. this will blow over in a week.
then make one so you could thank him for standing up to fags
>More cannon that Badgermao
Yurifags win again.
As far as scandals go this is baby-tier.
Yeah no, he'll be fine. Cartoonists don't care if you don't like mlm. It's only if you insult wlw you'll get shit
Yep. Let's go back to talking about the best batch of episodes yet because discussion of them was cut short.
>I was Torbclaun the whole time, Mao!
>Remember that time you got sick, Mao?
>That was me!
For...what, exactly?
3rd times a charm?
Like seriously how do you fuck up this much. Just say whatever will please everyone the most.
You don't even have to fucking believe it yourself, Parker is probably thinking "God, fuck fags." right now, it doesn't matter, JUST SAY PASSIVE SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE YOUR WHOLE FANBASE HAPPY.
to make sure the show is what Parker wants
no fags allowed
No, I mean what rule is shipping supposed to break?
>Tanya's "illusions" have the mass and likely other qualities of the objects they take after
She could totally wipe out a nation if she were to clone the right germ. Or just kill all of them anyway when leaves explode out of their veins.
>show introduces a bunch of maomaos old teammates as cameos
>later on they show them all teamed up with his sisters and lead exciting full lives
>be Parker Simmons
>check out one of the largest Mao Mao fan blogs
>agree with them saying the intimate friendship Mao Mao and Badgerclops have is a great thing to show on television
>decide to let them know by posting about your intentions when you were planning out both of the characters and their relationship
>by outright stating that they have a platonic friendship and that was the core idea behind their dynamic, inadvertently shit on hundreds, if not thousands of shippers

>spend the next 3-4 hours panicking, realize that a throwaway comment could end the animation he spent his entire life dreaming about doing before it even began
>decide fuck it, delete the post, think about it for an hour or two, then decide to reply with a milquetoast, inoffensive apology to avoid furthering the controversy anymore than his own mistake already has
>stay awake, panicking and hoping that this all blows over before he has to turn in the towel, go back to Titmouse, and start doing furry commissions to make ends meet
>let panic get the better of him, go ahead and delete the apology because maybe, just maybe that'll make the controversy go away and the culmination of his life's work won't be on the viewing public's chopping block anymore
Dude is scared and doesn't know what else to do.
>Remember Badgerclops?
>It was me, Tanya!
>Go back to titmouse
he's already been back at titmouse since he left OK KO
they're the studio that makes Mao Mao in the first place
I just downloaded the Mega and I'm going to avoid any discussion about it for the next 3-5 days. Pls don't crucify Parker while I'm gone.
>>decide fuck it, delete the post, think about it for an hour or two, then decide to reply with a milquetoast, inoffensive apology to avoid furthering the controversy anymore than his own mistake already has
It wasn't really an apology, it was more like a passive aggressive "Uh, you homos must've read my post wrong or something" thing.
I'm retarded.
>*go back to the bottom of Titmouse/Newgrounds
I wish I could dial back the clock and let him know not to make that mistake.
That time you lost a thumb war? All me Mittens. I was your thumb.
>tfw Mao Maos never gonna adopt Adorabat
I want to know what the fuck's going on with Adorabat's family situation.
low quality
I really want to see her dad now. Just for the curiosity of whether she can get any bigger.
Right, well, good luck with that.
>I knew it was you the whole time.
What's with the spoilers?
Fellas is it gay to make out with a girl who's transformed into a guy?
It's off-topic meta-posting.
If sinking ships is all it takes for you to get autistically mad, then you didn't like the thing in the first place. You just liked your weird circle jerk.
Well no shit, the last is a given. What's he gonna do, put a camera in my house? His permission to ship wasn't the issue.
I didn't give a fuck about the ship and think Parker's goal to normalize aromantic male intimacy is admirable and should be lauded, I'm just worried about the fracture in the community.
Test
Would Mao Mao bust someone for weed?
I'm talking about the shitty people being bled out. It's a good thing. Lord knows ponyshit needed a good bleedout back in 2012.
Blue is my boyfriend.
Blue is the only sane one, but even he would get boring and is an awful match.
Shoverclops
it's off topic and on the wrong board
go to /y/, Yea Forums, or /trash/ if you want to talk about gay shit
Parker says no gays in Mao Mao means no gays
I dunno, he's only seen smiling when there's total chaos erupting among the people.
I've bullied enough today, okay?
Is shoving
Did he? I can't find any such post on his page. Guess that means it didn't happen.
I guess you're right, but it's still a bummer this ruined a good show for so many people. Even if I personally don't agree with their shipping and find it a bit distasteful, I still want them to be happy with it, you know? They've lost that and it's a shame Parker lost 5-10% of his first show's adult viewerbase over a one-off Tumblr gaff.
Chubbum is so based.
Why would anyone even /want/ Mao Mao to get with Badgerclops?
He's fucking disgusting
The only sweetie pie more based is Pinkie.
I meant to say BEEN bullied but whatever.
You are mistaking their fixation in material unrelated to the show for interest on the show.
They're both dudes that live together with their daughterfu and go on kickass adventures. Don't be so mean to Mao Mao Mao, he doesn't deserve it.
He deleted his shit, so I can get over it faster now.
I just hope that, if he makes ANOTHER apology post, that it's not awfully written this time.
This character made me wonder what other magical mythical animals live in that world. Are the powers that be actually bigger magic creatures that normal animals cannot compete with?
Maybe you're right. If someone's appreciation of a show hinges on the possibility that the two main characters are secretly having sex, and the creator's clarification that they're only close friends is enough to no-sell even watching it for them, the objective quality of the show's animation, plot, pacing, and characterization was always superficial for them, wasn't it?
women see two male cartoon characters and like to imagine they fuck because it's their fetish
His biggest sin was actually saying anything on tumblr. The place that created the sjw reputation and where all the incredibly shitty inclusion art comes from.
how does this show go through so many threads despite not seeming to be /that/ popular? Granted the early OK KO threads in 2016 were like this
Why do Ketchup and Plippy look like they’re on drugs?
I see like 2000 waifu posts a day without even trying to, I don't feel bad about my fetish anymore.
Pussy-ass snitch.
I trust Simmons not to stay silent in a pivotal moment when so many things are teetering on the brink.
fuck them, they're cancer and can stay away.
Recent nontroversy trolls keep perpetuating.
You didn't really think the Ruby Pure Heart wasn't that kind of rock, did you?
Adorabat is cute, CUTE
I just don't understand where it came from. When I grew up I never once gave a shit who was with who in a cartoon. Was this always a thing? Were there people out there shipping Dexter and Mandark? It's all so tiresome.
Tanuki are actual animals, tho. And she didn't use her testicles to fly, so she is not mythical. And everyone has access to magic to some degree in the setting.
For all we know, Tanya's leaves are equipment, not unlike Sister Mao's hat.
screaming bone-collecting cockroach-eating psychotic bastard child
>When I grew up
That's exactly it, kids don't ship cartoons, that's the provenance of adults looking for escapism and autistic outcasts sitting in the corner of the lunchroom like me.
What do you think the truck's storage space is for?
Best Bat.
So more like Tengus instead of crows, 9 tailed foxes, monkeys with super poles that can fly in clouds?
Dragons exist but they are dumb animals. So maybe unicorns or something.
based mao mao mao enabling her
Adorabat is pure, PURE And also the most dangerous character in the show from a purely mental standpoint.
Tanukis actually exist you stupid mutherfucker
She's feral, she's unhinged, she's going to murder someone one of these days
Holy shit I didn't notice this.
Yea but taken the folklore version where they can change shape. Lots of other animals have similar myths about them like coyotes and foxes doing the same thing.
Why do you think technology is so advanced?
Why the hell isn't she dead?
She's 5ish, a light breeze should be able to knock her out.
why didn't you protect him?
I assumed it was for the criminals she captured. If she had a wheelbarrow, tho.
I think she's isn't a Sweetie Pie and that the dad she mentioned is some sort of monster.
Or why most of them are cyborgs. Probably so smaller animals can compete with bigger shit like leopards and kodiaks.
But using the myth version of some animals could be cool.
I guess owls, wolves, and coyotes could be magic somehow
Mao Mao Mao's training is just that good.
cause she's not really 5
she's just pretending so people will drop their guard
True
She is driven by a bottomless rage we cannot begin to fathom.
He's so pure
I still think environmental activism is considered criminal activity because monsters rely on the environment to grow large and strong enough to threaten civilization.
KONO TANYA DA
There are myths about a were-(literally everything).
If you could be a specific kind of were-beast, which would you choose? I think I'd honestly go wereboar, for maximum undergrowth-fuck-uppage potential.
Which else BlueMao here?
>not Pinkieclops
Step it up.
as much as I believe that Parker's heart is in the right place by wanting to normalize closeness between men in platonic friendships, I think dismissing any and all homosexual subtext while implying that the burden of solving homophobic bullying is on heterosexual relationships was not very wise. not only does that make the sinking a gay ship sting worse, he's also not giving legbutts and allies a reason to keep watching. I'm not kidding when I think the only olive branch to the fans he lost is promising to include male homo repesentation. hopefully he sleeps on the next apology he has planned, because a third deletion is just going to be sad
>can't find badgermao art because the tags are filled with drama
I hate you all
How about we don’t force lgbt shit into Mao Mao? Parker has actual gay couples (for example the guards) but Mao Mao and Badgerclops are not one of them.
I want pinky to bully badgerclops.
the two male dog sweet pees are always holding hands, wallah
The whole situation sucks, and shitty timing too because 4 amazing episodes just came out. I just wish he said nothing in the first place.
>actual gay couples (for example the guards)
>the same guards who haven't had a single line of dialogue in over 20 episodes
So Baderclops' yellow eye is robotic, explains why it isn't blue anymore
then get a secondary ship in the meantime
Snugglemao might be up your alley
Penny (pink, female) and Benny (yellow, male) are siblings.
Are you trolling me
>hopefully he sleeps on the next apology he has planned, because a third deletion is just going to be sad
He's the type of 30 year old boomer that thinks that deleting something off the internet makes it go away. Someone should tell him it doesn't.
We'll see how it plays out but I'm hoping for the best.
This. He never meant to start controversy but now he has to live with the consequences.
Whoa, I thought they were a heterosexual couple.
That poor, poor bastard.
Wow, I missed that completely
Why didn't he replicate his old eye?
When was that shown?
You mean in Head Chef? Remember that Mao Mao also got his own HUD with the space arm in Trading Day.
Wow a 5 second joke in a separate universe. Forgive me for not being impressed.
the drawing of monster adult adorabat is done.
in my version she is transformed by the rubi pure heart, unleashing just a tiny bit of her real power, mao mao has to stop her even if it kill her before her body awakens her full potential.
... after mao mao's victory she goes back to normal and realizes that her body has absorbed the power of the rubi pure heart allowing her to transform into her monster form anytime she wants.
what do you guys think?
Obviously meant "spare arm." Point is it's probably all in the arm.
He can go fuck himself. What an evil fucking asshole.
Seriously, stop being a fucking self-entitled cunt. Parker deleted his tweets so he wouldn’t even bother debate with guys like you.
Is he? He hasn't done anything overtly bad other than try and kill the main three after they had repeatedly beat him up sometimes for no reason.
I'm an entitled cunt because your completely unrelated video meant nothing to anything?
The king's guards aren't a couple you asshat
I like it. I think it'll be revealed her "dad" is some sort of Lovecraftian monster.
He also set up a mounted gun atop a random sweetypie's house like he's fucking Djura from Bloodborne.
This is some nice stuff user.
The king’s guards are references to those guards, you fucking idiots. I actually told you two that Mao Mao should not be forced to have lgbt stuff in it.
>How about we don’t force lgbt shit into Mao Mao?
Quit forcing it.
So what's the outlook like for a Season 2 getting greenlit at this point?
Get a fucking argument.
Mao Mao is cancelled.
The guards with no lines are not an argument.
I really, really, really hope this all never gets referenced again in a future episode
Please
Also, are Parker's comments on Twitter and Tumblr making anybody wonder what's going on with this show?
Let's let bygones be bygones, Simmons clearly recognizes he fucked up, he deleted his shit and is either waiting for it to blow over or prepping an apology at this very moment. There's no reason to shame or browbeat the man for a slip of the tongue, everyone knew what he meant from the get-go and if he phrased this better there wouldn't be an issue.
How many episodes are planned for Season 1?
>I'm not kidding when I think the only olive branch to the fans he lost is promising to include male homo representation
Ha, what a fucking joke.
Simmons didn’t fuck up shit. It’s just that folks like you are so hilariously fucked up, Simmons didn’t want to hear jack shit from you.
>The Sweetiepies ask Mao Mao and Badgerclops if they're a couple
>It's because they work so well together and are very affectionate with each other
>They think the thought is cute, but say no
>The citizens of Pure Heart lose their fucking minds and try to ruin their lives culminating in riots and Pure Heart burning to the ground
>They wonder if any of this was worth it
>The lesson of the episode is shut your fucking mouth and let insane fans think what they want, no matter how good natured your intentions
I don't know what Adorabat's role in this is
The quicker we get over this petty divide the quicker we can go back to talking about the cartoon as-scheduled. Yea Forumssmopolitans and Tumblrites might mean less than shit to the viewership and therefore profits on a macro-standpoint but they're enormously over-represented in these threads and if that kettle doesn't stop boiling, I won't have anywhere worth being to discuss Adorabat's antics.
>next apology
Maybe he just shouldn't say anything at all and shipfags should stop being reeeeing autists who shit the bed for the rest of us. God, what a perfect world that would be.
Eh, drop it, there is no arguing against shipfags unless you're willing to cave.
Is Simmons really based enough to challenge the meta AND shit on hardline-straight fags?
Taking the opportunity to torch buildings like the psychotic chuuni she is, obviously.
CN probably blames it for not getting ratings even though they've set it (and OK KO previously) up to fail
God I forgot how gay this scene was
If Cartoon Network cancels Mao Mao before a second season after only airing them during the least trafficked hours on weekends in favor of flooding the catalog with Teen Titans Go!, I'll send them some sternly worded emails.
Adorabat would fuel both sides of the debate because she just likes hearing people talking about her heroes.
I don't know, Mao Mao is doing decent for a first season from a minor animator, and considering how badly the broadcast schedule is gimping them, that's impressive.
You think Adorabat would pass up the chance to have Mao Mao legally declared her father?
She's part of this
So like JLAction, or Apple and Onion, My Knight and Me, or Be Cool Scooby Doo?
I would be amazed if it is not sent to Boomerang next month.
If they could get some decent hours, that might be a good thing.
We need another Swap Day episode to fill in the swaps that didn't happen.
Is this for real? Jesus shippers just want to ruin every show don't they?
I know you're joking, but if it came to the wire you think Boomerang would take them? I honestly doubt it, shit would be /comfy/ as fuck though.
Dig through the last three Mao Mao threads in the archives, shit has been a dumpster fire and some Tumblrites are on the verge of rioting.
It's not just that, what's worse to me is that he catered to the "WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO TURN EVERYTHING GAY, WHY CAN'T TWO GUYS JUST BE FRIENDS!" crowd, who are the worst people imaginable.
Don't think you understand. Boomerang is where underperforming CN series go to play out the rest of their first season before cancellation. user listed every series that only played on CN for a few weeks before they were moved to Boomerang to play out the rest of their episodes and then they were cancelled.
you can cater to any shitty demographic with any statement you might make, doesn't mean much
ok, shipper
Mao Mao's performing above expectations for the schedule they're on, but I hope corporate thinking heads won't can them for turning mud into silver when they wanted gold.
Their both shit, just enjoy the damn show. Fuck.
It's not that hard
Instead of saying "Yes, I am very proud of myself for making them close friends and nothing more. I'm glad somebody finally caught that they're not supposed to be gay!" he could just say "Thank you tumblr guy, their friendship is indeed awesome and I cant wait to see where they blah blah blah."
There, I'm not even the head creator of a show and I already know how to make less controversial tweets.
Why the fuck can't they just be friends? I got the shit beat of me in high-school until I had to have my braces readjusted because I hugged my friend in the cafeteria after his divorced parents remarried, because some "people" thought I was gay. Why the fuck couldn't we just be friends? Why the fuck did they have to drag their false impression of our sexuality into our friendship? Shit is a problem even if you don't see it and it doesn't effect you. Check your privilege.
Man I really wanna see MaoMao's sisters. By which I mean I want to see them, so that people have a base to make lewds off of.
Just being honest.
I think the dude had more concern over making the show then trying to quell a none issue.
I'm just gonna assume this post is a joke.
The man made a mistake. It's not like Tumblr or Yea Forums impact Mao Mao's ratings in the slightest, 99% of us openly pirate the shit and might as well be invisible.
Don't decide what's important for everybody else.
Growing up in the bayou is no joke.
Well I'm not you dude, so its not important to me. Its kind of how people work.
Do you play the Banjo or at least the Harmonica, just curious.
But it can be to others. Some people watch shows for different reasons and get different responses and reactions out of them.
I can do a few chords with a harmonica but the intricacies of the banjo are beyond me.
Real shit.
Well that doesn't mean someone can use their projected interests to get mad at a creator for making a show how they want to. If they made stuff for other people it wouldn't be their show.
If you like that part of the show, then like it. Share your thoughts who do like, but if you get mad at people or the people who make the show for not following your head space, then thats on you.
>shipping is important
yeah sure
Why are we even talking about Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart if there's 9/10 odds Cartoon Network's not going to give it the chance to get enough ratings for a second season?
It's not that, it's that he said stupid insensitive shit "Male friendship is long overdue!" or "I never see close male friends on tv!"
Watch an episode of Spongebob twat.
I cannot help but notice that in the last three episodes Mao, BC and Adorabat are progressively starting to look more and more like a family.
E22 - Mao and BC finally realize they were tending a kid this whole time. Mao is terrified for a moment but then gets distracted.
E23 - Mao and BC are preparing breakfast for Adorabat. During that minute, there's so much going on on the screen, I wouldn't even try to describe it in words. That scene just screams they live like a happy and vibrant family.
E24 - "picnic" scene, "bad-weather-comfy-couch" scene. Gods, this is my favorite so far.
They really couldn't show it any more clear that Adorabat lives with Mao and BC 100% time, day and night.
All that leaves me in no confusion regarding that moment when Adorabat referred to her -dad- in E23. For me, she could only have meant one person.
Look man, he could say the sky is purple and I'd still watch the show. If it bothers you that much then don't follow his tumblr/twitter/whatever.
I don't, it's Yea Forums that informed me.
Haha pwned
HE DID NOT SAY THAT SHIT, HE SAID THERE'S NOT ENOUGH MUTUALLY AFFECTIONATE PHYSICAL INTIMACY BETWEEN STRAIGHT MALE FRIENDS ON CHILDREN'S TELEVISION, AND HE'S RIGHT.
>inb4 it turns out Adorabat thinks of Mao Mao as her dad but doesn't mention it around him out of worry he'd panic
Can you imagine the /comfy/?
What was the other reply he deleted?
The only reason people are talking about this show is for shipping, it's like We Bare Bears, where nobody talks about anything but wanting to fuck the bears
Well there's your problem you used Yea Forums as a reference. You realize you can make up anything and say the dude said it. Unless you got like legit pics, its all hearsay.
He said he didn't people noticed that he was replying to one of, if not the most popular fan Tumblr's pages saying that the platonic friendship between Mao Mao and Badgerclops is amazing, and there needs to be more of it on television.
What physical intimacy? The occasional hug torced on Mao Mao that he hates 90% of the time? That one time Badgerclops ate a bit of food from his mouth? Fucking Rigby and Mordecai are closer than they are. Mao Mao is not filling in for the physical intimacy.
It was basically a reply saying "Uh I think all you homos read my posts wrong, I was just agreeing with some guy who said how awesome it is that MaoMao and BC are only friends."
And...that's basically it.
Dude if your going to talk, fix your CAP button first.
Oh, right, and there was that time they held hands. ......So that BC wouldn't go to jail. Damn, Mao Mao is breaking all the physical intimacy molds, because that's how that works.
Badgerclops has been more physically intimate with pastries than Mao Mao.
Damn...Good thing they're not gay and definitely not married then.
I know, right? If they were gay and did that stuff I'd have to murder my children.
Having kids? You a pedo?
Not that user but I'm sorry you feel persecuted. The intimacy's much more subtle with Mao Mao but it's undeniable, you can see hints of it in the dialogue. "I cherish you." "He's the wind beneath my sails, the light of my life."
Why is it always the same 2 examples? I swear Mao Mao has complimented Badgerclops like 4 times throughout the entire series. Maybe 8 if I count "Good work" as a compliment.
Scoops is a girl?
>HE SAID THERE'S NOT ENOUGH MUTUALLY AFFECTIONATE PHYSICAL INTIMACY BETWEEN STRAIGHT MALE FRIENDS ON CHILDREN'S TELEVISION, AND HE'S RIGHT.
I mean, I'm not against close, affectionate physical intimacy between 2 sweaty straight guys, but I don't know if I'd say that Mao Mao is setting any records.
Mao Mao's personality is buried under a mountain of baggage and outside of his justice-boner and daddy-issues, is subtle. Why am I defending the same dialogue you thought was great at the time? Is it hideous in retrospect? Was Badgermao that vital to your appreciation of the show for the animesque action comedy it is?
Dude is aloof as hell but it shines through here and there.
You sure are verbose over a whopping 2 lines of dialog. They're good dialog but they're not game changers, they're basically just queer bait now.
>tfw despite the shitstorm im still watching mao mao for wholesome shit like this
>+2,000 in barely twenty-four hours
>verbose
I'd say give the character time to develop but I doubt Titmouse will get renewed for a second season.
How is this for intimacy? Does it matter that much that one isn't power-bottoming? I think this shit is getting blown out of proportion.
It's cute? What else am I supposed to say about it.
That's it, that's the point Parker made, a cute male relationship is not necessarily gay and there's nothing wrong with that.
Great, thanks Parker, I'm glad you taught me it's okay to be NOT gay with that dip.
Exactly, and he taught tens, if not dozens of ridiculously early bird kids the same thing.
Awesome, I can feel the world changing, becoming slowly less gay bit by bit with each straight platonic hug.
best adorabat
>badgerclops was abandoned by his allies
>mao mao was abandoned by bao bao
>mao mao let badgerclops join him because mao mao empathized with badgerclops
How did I just realize this?
Thoughts on this Snugglemagne?
>Can you imagine the /comfy/?
Indeed I can!
>that cooking show they were filming airs in a week or so
>Mao's watching TV with BC
>Mao with slight outrage:
>"What \"dad\"?! It was ME who told her that!"
>"..."
>"Ehm, Mao, are you alright? You suddenly froze, like, five minutes ago, I'm starting to worry."
As opposed to making every close and supportive relationship romantic?
Every huh? Name 10 CN shows where 2 male characters had a close relationship that turned romantic. Should be easy if every one is like that.
I’m talking broadly, not just guys or gals. Hereto too, it’s the type of shit that led to Star Vs being an absolute dumpster fire when Marco had better chemistry with a supporting character than he did with his love interest, who worked better as his friend.
I'm still waiting for my 10.
I'll settle for 5, can you do that Mr. Every relationship?
Is Mao Mao the literal ring of the litter? I mean, if his sisters are anything like his Dad, they must be taller than him.
>Adorabat’s dad is a tall, ripped af bat monster with a chiseled jaw and golden brilliant eyes
>Mao mao’s insecurities when
Only if he has a cooler sword to top it all off.
Have you ever had to watch a five year old for a few hours?
They’re fucking maniacs
Different user here, but I think was referring to those who look at any close relationship and automatically think, "Ship!"
>his sword is just mao's but it glows way brighter
Scoops is voiced by a girl, at least. Of course that could mean anything
Reminder that mao mao and badgerclops are 100%, totally not gay.
>episode ends with Adorabat pulling one of these
Holy shit yes.
What the fuck happened to Yea Forums? I remember when regular show threads were a thing there was that little Mordecai/Rigby homo army but even they generally accepted that it was purely fanfic they were amusing themselves with instead of flipping their shit over not getting an onscreen butt pounding session
The homo army got several inches since then and now their ships aren't as easily dismissed because of it.
>it's a "fag shippers ruin another fandom" episode
GET SOME NEW MATERIAL I HATE RERUNS
Trolls have been trying unsuccessfully to get their foot in the door of these threads for months and seem to have finally found something that sticks. Although I’m still not convinced it’s not just a few anons gently hand-feeding each other bait back and forth.
Just ignore it and keep speculating about what Mao Mao’s next suffering will entail.
Ha ha... “en tail”
He looks more like he's shitting blood.
Based Parker for saying no to fags
he's right nobody want fags in their cartoon
and we should remind every fag on Twitter and tumblr who tries to draw Mao Mao as a fag that they're wrong
Life imitates art.
>hardly anyone is raking him over the coals on Twitter
>Parker's posts on twitter and tumblr are probably viewed by hundreds, if not thousands of people
>one retard sperging on twitter with 18 likes is apparently valid proof to debunk the "hardly anyone" narrative
absolutely based
libtards DESTROYED with FACTS and LOGIC yet again
>It's not just that, what's worse to me is that he catered to the "WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO TURN EVERYTHING GAY, WHY CAN'T TWO GUYS JUST BE FRIENDS!" crowd, who are the worst people imaginable.
Shut up faggot. I'm sick of you dingles ruining a good show.
Kill yourself faggot
No, it won't be the same. And fuck me am I happy about that. Any talk of this show in the past months has resulted in faggots dumping gay art and shipping talk non-stop.
Your ship got sunk. Shut the fuck up about it.
No, this had to happen eventually. I only wish Parker had stuck to his fucking guns.
early tanya concept from 2017
gives us a bit of a time-frame on when the show starting writing
>Simmons clearly recognizes he fucked
No he didn't. Saying that Badgerclops and Maomao are bros is not "fucking up" you retarded shipper.
This show is good, but people like you belong in the fucking /trash/
This fandom could use some straight lewds.
How many more threads until you retards finally shut the fuck up?
They won't shut up until the day of the rope claims them all
I'm not participating the debate here, but Parker has really made a huge mistake where he first said everyone can ship what they wish, then implied jarringly that one pelicular ship is not real. I felt like his wording could have sounded and worded better, so I don't blame people here being confused with the statement and questioning it.
Will the episode where BC joins the sky pirates be shit or can this team pull it off?
>”You can ship whoever you want, just know the show will not reflect any of it.”
Seems pretty cut and dry.
That still sounds bad, in my opinion. If I were Parker, I would simply thank the people watching and enjoying the show, and then affirm the kind of relation between Badgerclops and Mao Mao Mao I'm aiming, explaining that they are platonic, quite affectionate between each other, etc. I agree with what said.
Plus, alternatively, the creator can simply adapt the "show, don't tell" approach while staying silent, and let the population make their own interpretations, including the ships. Some person has said this before here, and I agree with it strongly.
But granted, of course, it's not like hearing simple and weak words over the kind of ship I like being dis-confirmed will automatically stop me from both salivating with pleasure Badgermao (and also few more ships) and watching the show itself. That would be silly, if I did stop.
In any case, apologizes for continuing the debate. I simply wanted to share my view, so certainly, let's go back to the show itself.
I enjoy the conversation.
Parker could increase his chances of getting his season 2 by working better with CN and his fans. I don't even think he's completely in the wrong; CN has mistreated his show in few different ways and what he said about obviously wasn't anything personal and would actually be more welcome after the show had ended.
Right, he made the "ship what you like, but" a sort of non-statement. You could infer that that means that he doesn't mind shipping, it doesn't offend him or he doesn't openly wish you would stop, but it could also mean "there is no law against it" or "I am physically incapable of stopping you". That, coupled with what comes after, spells out "you can ship, but I'm telling you right now that you're wrong".
The fun of shipping is the possibility of being right and in this climate of "surprise lesbians" it's actually fun for everyone, the shippers and the haters, to have something to talk about. Something to type in all caps about.
>Plus, alternatively, the creator can simply adapt the "show, don't tell" approach while staying silent, and let the population make their own interpretations, including the ships. Some person has said this before here, and I agree with it strongly.
I agree as well, based Rotor poster:
>The graceful way to handle this is to answer a question of "are they in a relationship?" with "I think what we see can be interpreted many different ways because we don't know everything about them and that's part of the fun, but what I see in them is the kind of healthy relationship men often want for themselves but are denied due to emotional barriers certain parts of society demands they put up between them. Openly reaffirming how much someone means to you even among friends isn't done enough because it's so unnecessarily stigmatized. Ship however you like, but know that I'd write them like this regardless of their relationship status."
Over zealous fans telling the creator how to run his show because they're butthurt the main character won't be butthurt.
Remember when creators could talk about their characters without offending a bunch of unstable freaks? Good times.
>the little shitty paper crown that he probably made himself
my heart
Based Snow Miser telling it how it is.
they were both so cute
what made them turn to a life of crime?
What about those posts makes you think they're offended or unstable freaks?
>posting on twitter counts as running a show
Since when?
DO YOU FEAR ME MAO MAO?
everything I don't like is a mental illness
>Remember when creators could talk about their characters without offending a bunch of unstable freaks?
No. Even the days of shows like Tiny Toons and Animaniacs, show creators and their insane fans went at it all the time.
The thing was back in those days there was one fundamental difference: the internet wasn't NEARLY as prevalent as it is now. There was no social media, and therefore no platform to give these people a voice. The most they could do is go on primitive internet forums to discuss with other people or write letters to the network.
And by "these people" you also mean the creatives and industry people, right? If it were just fans shitposting, none of this would have happened. He could even address a crowd at a con with what he said and people may be wanting to dissect it and find what's "problematic" about it, but ultimately in that context he was asked in a formal Q and A and so he answered, rather than just finding a post he agreed with and putting his words on the internet.
Yeah, it guess without internet it was easier to ignore the existence of these assholes.
That the "Bomb-Long-Ass Hiatus" format is fucking awful, and he is right, it is much nicer when you have a week to stew over and discuss each and every episode in detail, Bombs only work as gimmick events and Season Finales.
I didn't really like some of the new episodes, the orangusnake one and the chef one we're fine, but what the hell was with the other two? ?
Why was bc played as the voice of reason earlier in the show and now he's a completely different character? The stink episode was awful, mao and adorabat were going to apologize to him even though they did nothing wrong. He was acting like a child and not even funny to make up for him being an ass.
Then in the swap episode BC really DID have it easier then mao, give mao a week if that and he'd have mastered the arm and be more capable then BC. While BC was just bullying children, though it was funny this time. Like, what even happened to this character. But at least adorabat in that episode was golden.
Mao Mao said himself that Badgerlcops' life was a wakeless nightmare tho.
Besides he didn't have a week to master the arm, the thing was one second away from blowing a hole through his head out of frustration.
Well, BC is very consistent at being unstable. And I think the message with badgercops on swap day is that he is at constant risk of his arm turning on him. Like, I don't really think BC put that AI there.
I wonder if it's even possible at this point. The Sky Pirates have done so much evil shit that I think they're set in their ways, but they're all extremely cute and I want to hug them and tell them Mao Mao's not going to bully them forever.
>Mao Mao's not going to bully them forever.
He will though.
I think they'd be better antiheroes anyway
I want to see them change their ways and become good.
I wonder if it's even possible at this point. The Sky Pirates have done so much evil shit that I think they're set in their ways, but they're all extremely cute and I want to hug them and tell them Mao Mao's not going to bully them forever.
It reminds me of programmers who lose their minds over their code, and when they finally get it to work they can't even really explain how they did it, but DON'T TOUCH anything for the love of GOD
>I want to see them change their ways and become good.
I don't think that'll happen but I'm like eighty percent sure there's going to be a team-up episode.
My theory is something like Coby wanted to be a legendary hero but everyone told him he couldn't (how are you gonna fight monsters without arms or legs?) so he chose to become a legendary villain instead
Oh no no no no no my precious foe, I do fear you.
I'm just not in fear with you.
>Mao Mao: Hey, Badgerclops. You think you can do anything to make your technology a little less... murder-y?
>Badgerclops: Listen man, if YOU want to dig through one hundred thousand lines and find out where the short-temper subroutine is, be my guest!
>Mao Mao: Uhh... what?
>Badgerclops: It just WORKS, okay?!
>The Sky Pirates have done so much evil shit
I mean... what "evil shit" did they actually do?
Orangusnake was gonna throw Mao Mao & co off of a cliff, sure, but they *did* throw overboard the majority of his own crew so you know. Assuming the pirates in episode 1 died, Mao Mao would still have the higher kill count even if the Sky Pirates had killed him, BC and Adorabat.
And if the pirates didn't die, well then it's probably fair to assume Mao Mao & the others wouldn't have died from falling from that cliff either.
Other than that they just try to steal a big Ruby and occasionally some garbage, that's not too evil.
kek, that actually fits BC pretty well
Or maybe his parents were legendary criminals in a constant war with the Mao clan and he wanted to grow up just like them.
>theft
>bribery
>environmental activism
Inb4 they’re trying to steal the ruby to bribe companies to stop destroying their jungle home
>Why was bc played as the voice of reason earlier in the show and now he's a completely different character?
Not sure. It's not like flanderization over time because it's only been this season and the episodes were made all at once. Maybe it was intentional from the start.
I think he's funnier as a fat retard but I do miss when he was more chill in the earlier episodes. Anyways, how are we supposed to buy that he joins the sky pirates if he's supposed to be the level headed voice of reason?
Maybe he just joins the Sky Pirates to mess with Mao Mao for a laugh, rather than any serious commitment?
inb4 Sky Pirates almost steal the Ruby but accidentally shatter it, inadvertently saving Pure Heart Valley from a greater evil
I think it all sort of depends on who is learning the lesson in any given episode. In Sick Mao Badgerclops was the voice of reason, in BoBo Chan Mao Mao was the voice of reason, in Enemy Mime Adorabat was the voice of reason- kind of. The first half (?) of the season focused on Mao Mao’s arc with his parental issues, so he was the one who had to learn a lot. Now the focus might be shifting to Badgerclops’ issues instead
Badgerclops wasn't bullshitting about important spinning practice after all
>And by "these people" you also mean the creatives and industry people, right?
Yes, the creatives and industry people are not shielded from criticism either. They were once those same fans who watched content and discussed it. They can be just as idiotic as fans are when it comes to expressing their opinions and engaging their audience and again, some people don't deserve a platform to spout nonsense and inflate their already large egos.
I feel like Parker should craft a response to the outrage that addresses all the points the fans on both sides brought up, because he wasn't intentionally trying to be malicious. He's just a weeb boomer and he probably didn't know people would react the way they did. But what he shouldn't do is delete whatever he posts next, because he has a bad habit of doing that and it makes him look bad imo.
Nice catch and filename. Another neat thing about this episode that I saw someone on Tumblr hypothesize was the idea that Mao Mao was goading the sky pirates on because of the comments Shin Mao made about them.
>that highlight on the booty
Rip junkmix you will be missed
It's ridiculous how intricate some of the show's episodes are
The fact that they're actively trying to cost the man in question his livelihood over the sexual orientation of cartoon cats and badgers.
I'm developing a slow burn fetish for badgerclop's fat thicc ass

I don't see how any of them are trying to make him lose his job.
It's Badgerclops' fault. He pushed him into this life.
Shut up we all are. You ain't special.
I read that in his voice. It's too perfect.
This has never stopped people from making gay art even if they have a true straight life. Still I think it was dumb to bring it up regardless especially on Tumblr of all places. He could have stated they were gay and they still have a melt down because they are never happy.
>he holds and sucks it like a dick while looking up to make eye contact
This fucking show.
You're mostly correct, but
>He could have stated they were gay and they still have a melt down because they are never happy.
will always be a weak talking point. It's always a moot point, always a non-statement that oversimplifies the situation by seeing them as the same people, rather a group of individuals with different ideas and tastes.
Two bros, raising a child, sleeping five feet apart cuz they're not gay
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
for every screetching harpie on Twitter saying they're never going to watch the show, there's like six posts defending Parker and his vision. It's a complete non-troversy and has no bearing on the show's success. Shipper's gonna ship, and Parker learned his lesson about harshing the buzz. Can we please stop bringing it up?
The conversation is dying down, slowpoke.
>He's using his pinky
What a disgusting slut.
The threads are getting slower too. The one yesterday had over 700 posts or some crazy shit like that.
They may not officially be a thing but Badgerclops is still gay as fuck for food.
That's not really what he said.
He's too much!
>this thread
Wow, shippers are absolutely fucking cancer. I hope you people die horrible excruciating deaths like in the cartel execution videos.
requesting this image with Mao Mao and Badgerclops
Don't.
First of all no one cares
Secondly, this won't affect his future career at all. No one, and I mean no one, actually working in the industry, cares about a small group of shippers being upset on the internet
it was just a handful of gaycels getting mad and stirring the pot. everyone else just wanted to talk about Orangusnake and Adoradad
>implying Badgermao wasn't half this shows fanbase
Adorabat is driven by unfiltered bloodlust. All those bones in her bone collection are from monsters she's killed for fun and a few sweetiepies
>adorabat’s dad is a cute little sweetiepie
>adorabat’s mom is a hideous forest monster who got seduced by dat bat diq
>Adorabat left home because she was looking for a glass of water
>mao mao's real name was mao mao mao
>he was lying to me
Badger is so fucking stupid it's great
He's so hyper sensitive.
It wasn't. Most of the show's fans are children who don't give a shit about shipping. And even of the adult fans most of them probably aren't shippers and don't give a shit. And most of the shippers probably don't follow Simmons tumblr, and don't give a shit. And most of the really small percent of the fanbase that are badgermao shippers who follow Simmons on tumblr, probably still don't give a shit whether or not their ship is canon. And I'd be willing to bet, of the ones who are upset, most of them aren't seething retards who are going to try to destroy a man's career over it.
And whatever 40-50 people are left over who will, are fucking irrelevant to titmouse and cartoon network.
>his weird fear of Shin and the teacher
There’s something going on there
>I found out that Mao Mao named his sword Geraldine. He's been keeping secrets from me. I should just run away.
i was wondering, in the giant orangusnake robot ramaraffe when into arm, and ratarng into the center chest piece below tanner's head, but where did boss hosstrich go?
It was. The only thing you're right about is that a lot of shippers might not have even seen it. And that, hopefully, any new fans will never know that Parker said nope.
The other arm
i dont see him, nothing resembling him at all.
>"Just found out that Mao Mao considers our relationship to be platonic. I'm thinking about running away."
As if I didn't have enough reasons to hate shippers already.
Oh wait you're right, I was thinking of earlier when he just shoved his fucking arms down their throats
Maybe the exhaust pipes on his chest? I don't think Boss Hosstrich has exhaust pipes but it's still within the motorcycle theme
Fuck that mech is bad ass
>I saw Adorabat's bone hole for the first time. Definitely gonna run away.
You're retarded
>He really did run away each time
>It's just that he came back after a few hours each time and nobody noticed
When will this season be done?
I want to watch this thing whole.
That huge thing with robot arm is cute.
Is that a dog?
I'm sure it's just coincidence that 70% of the fanart is Badgermao.
TOO MUCH!
>Why didn't she tell me about the bone hole? Am I not good enough to know about the bone hole? I'm just gonna run away.
Badgerclops has problems.
>"Hey guys can I come back and live with you guys? Sorry for running away..."
>"I thought you went for milk?"
>"Im thinking of running away again."
>So, this is like the fifth time they didn't notice that I ran away, and, I'm thinking of running away.
Ha! Classic Badgerclops!
Where is E17 to E22?
Shippers are obsessive fucks? What else is new.
mega.nz
What the fuck does drawing fanart have to do with being obsessive, cunt.
>Adorabat ran away and it made me think I should run away too.
>Adorabat ran away today. What's so bad about me that she'd wanna do that? Maybe I should just run away.*
He did run away to live with Bobo Chan.
Why does he want to run away so much?
What, you think there's a problem with running away? You think I should stop running away from my problems? Screw you, I'm running away.
Guess he took Shinji's advice a bit too much
That's literally not true, and shippers drawning a lot of art doesn't make them a large percentage of the fanbase.
So does Badgerclops care about people liking him or not? He didn't care about smelling terrible in Truth Stinks, or being a giant douche in Ultraclops.
It's a running gag.
Dammit Carlos
That's it. I'm running away.
CARLOS RAMON YOU FATHERLESS FUCK.
He’s bad at confronting his problems and when backed into a corner he blows up, because he was overly criticized as a child from his mother without ever learning how to make her stop in a proper or mature way due to the power imbalance between them during the crucial developmental stages of his life so now he chooses to either avoid criticism completely by extricating himself from potentially dangerous social situations, or lash out violently in an attempt to shift blame onto another target when escape is no longer an option.
Fuck, that's dark.
>His mom acts exactly like his robotic arm, voice and all.
The amount of mommy issues this guy has is immense. When do we get to learn about them in the show?
>scared of daddies
>mommy issues
>hasn't talked to gerald in a long while
this tubby fuck needs help
Fuck, that's dark.
>Why aren’t you happy? This is what you asked for, ISN’T IT?!
We need to stop going down this rabbit hole before I start projecting
>his robotic arm IS his mom
This is going into Evangelion levels of bullshit.
Gerald's his step brother too, so could be a divorce thing in that story, maybe some step family dramaticals causing conflict with his mom and alienation
I wonder if he ran away from home to join a gang
>The robotic arm IS his mom
>"Oh boy, suck time"
at least he had a good relationship with his grandma, as in the first episode
And his dads pretty buff, though thats not really good or bad
So basically like Rad Spencer’s arm from Bionic Commando (2009). Except Spencer’s arm had the mind of his wife inhabiting it.
probably started hitting the gym after the separation
If Gerald is older, it’s likely it was HIS dad that she divorced- and Badgerclops’ dad was the new dad
Now that I think about it, that’s probably not his real name huh
>mom named him badgerclops just to make a joke about his one eye
>Mao had neglectful parents
>BC had overly harsh parents
I’m glad they finally confirmed Adorabat has loving parents. And I don’t just mean her platonic dads.
you guys are totally over exaggerating this drama
It's not an exaggeration, user
Badgerclops really does run away a lot
Yeah we need to quit overhyping these guys’ parents, were only going to end up disappointing ourselves
Chubby IS the biggest bully in the show and you can't prove me wrong.
Shoverclops is an emotional blackmailer. You have to do things his way, or he will emotionally assault you (sometimes physically, too)
>Badgerclops made Chubbum into the greatest villain of all
Deepest lore
You mean to tell me that a few cherry-picked tweets from literal whos doesn't represent the majority consensus?
wtf i've been lied to
Overexaggerate? OVEREXAGGERATE?
>Parker took down his "ask me anything" thingy on tumblr
I just hope the people who yelled at him properly explained why deconfirming the ship wasn't really a nice move that benefited anybody who's a good person.
Bu engaging the LGBT community as a whole simply to shut them down, he was acting against the LGBT community. He was effectively being as anti-gay as he could be right there. It's pretty obvious what he was doing no matter how much he wants to pretend to apologize or shove it all under the rug.
It benefitted these threads greatly. And we are the goodest of good people.
I'm sure he didn't have any malicious intent, he just didn't think his words through.
You didn’t get what you wanted. You should run away.
>if you don't think of the same-sex anal fetishist community when you engage in dialogue with the fandom you are actively victimizing them
How did it benefit these threads exactly?
>He was effectively being as anti-gay as he could be right there
you're reading too far into this: Hanlon's razor and all that
Good, FUCK the LGBT community
t. LGBT
Butthurt is amusing to read. Shipping is just cringe.
The dumpsterfire that was Voltron says otherwise.
if he had no intent then there is no reason to speak to them. He went out of his way to speak to them specifically to shut them down. That's anti queer activity.
hah, you'd like that wuldn't you. gey
>It was then that Saxon came to hate
If I were a showrunner I'd hate having to deal with a fanbase of overly entitled children, and actual children.
Then why did he have to show up just to say "No Homo" at all? He could have left it all alone and not caused any problems at all.
>I just hope the people who yelled at him properly explained why deconfirming the ship wasn't really a nice move that benefited anybody who's a good person.
What the fuck are you on? You aren't owed a ship you want, faggot.
You're right, he didn't need to. But he didn't know it was anti-gay, to him he was just talking about how amazing it is that you can be close and not gay. I really don't think he wanted to be mean.
Mostly because no show creator would be stupid enough to blog something purposely malicious.
*overly entitled manchildren
This right here is EXACTLY why showrunners close themselves off and have no communication with other people at all ever. Because some asshole will take something the wrong way and lose their shit over it. And then the show gets bad ratings, it gains a reputation etc. Better to just never talk to normies at all in the first place.
Because he was clarifying his intent and explaining why he did so. But that wasn't enough for you fucks.
He has officially joined the ranks of every other content creator.
Tumblrs fucking dead
Nobody is owed anything ever. You're not owed the basement your parents are giving you.
Who the fuck is he to come in from nowhere simply to tell people "Fuck your gay ship!" He has no right to tell anyone who they can or cannot ship in the first place.
Good, because I pay for it.
He's the creator, and he didn't even say you can't ship it. Just that it's not canon and not what he intended for the show.
Who the fuck are you to complain?
I love how telling people to stop shipping an obvious gay couple, but only the LGBT community, not everyone else, is"clarifying"
The correct term is queerbating.
Good thing you're not a show creator, showing a tactless "IT'S MY SHOW I CAN DO WHAT I WANT, FUCK THE FANS." attitude doesn't please anybody but trolls and assholes.
>Saying these two characters are not boinking is anti-queer activism
If he wants viewership, ratings and his show to continue he better start giving fans what they want.
Deconfirming the ship didn't please anybody but homophobes who are happy they're not gay.
queerbaiting is purposefully including false queers to attract an audience. I don't believe that was his intention, nor was it to fuck over the shippers
If he shows up specifically to tell the LGBT community they are wrong, that is anti-gay activism. He so far has never tried to tell anyone else any other ship is wrong. He does nothing to invalidate anyone else about any other part of the show. But he did make damn sure to shut down any queer fans the second he noticed them.
He didn't think when he was posting. Big whup, no different from the complaining we'd get if Pendleton came out and said Finn and Jake weren't getting jiggy with it in Season 1.
it was pretty unnecessary. Plus it seemed pretty obvious already the whole show isn't gonna have romance amgonst the trio because of the dynamic being more about comedy, not a romance. Tanya keys is also not outright referred to as romantic. Badgerclops' gay fling with that blob was his friend too. That was just the language of the show. No one expected any canon. But maybe he was scared if the shipping went on, as with everything, ppl would expect the show to carry more lgbt responsibility when any romance is mostly just light hearted subtext, until maybe the very end like how I've seen other shows do. Seems he's trying to be more direct about it but phrased it awkwardly. He'd been better off not talking about ship at all cause it leaves room for interpretation for more ppl to enjoy
Guys help.
How do I get this thing to quit bugging the shit out of me?
He didn't say that, but god I wish he did. You assholes ruin any talk of this show on this website by posting all that gay shit.
I wish he had taken a hardline stance like that. Him deleting his stuff has only further emboldened you assholes. I wish he had specifically said that they'll never be gay and that you should kill yourselves. Because there's no use trying to please shitheads like you.
Now, THIS is entitlement.
Which is exactly what he did with the two main characters and all their interactions with each other.
tell him to stand still on top of the Ruby Pureheart, then never go back
>Hundreds of people unironically upset that a stupid furry samurai cat cartoon for kids doesn't have two characters in a relationship the way they imagine in their dumbass fanfiction
I don't even hate the show (from what I've seen of it) but you faggots are embarrassing and you're the reason why people think animation as a medium and the people who like it are a joke.
>I wish he had taken a hardline stance like that.
So does everybody who wants his show canceled.
>WATCH MEEEEEEEEEE
He merely liked the dynamic the two had: people then read into it and believed they were gay.
This also assumes he meant to destroy the ship, which he clearly did not intend
>deconfirming a ship had no benefit but making homophobes happy
>You're so entitled!
Uh...what? How are the two connected again? Am I...entitled to feel that Parker did something unnecessary?
>WHO SAID YOU COULD LEAVE THE GARDEN YET MOO MOO
I wouldn't say loving. They just let her get involved in shit that will most likely end her
You're right, when a flaccid stance is taken as extreme, then people might as well take a hard stance all the time.
If his show is gonna get cancelled because he didn't give you autistic shippers what you want then you're to blame, not me.
But you just said you WANTED him to shit on his fanbase.
This entire controversy won't amount to shit unless a Cartoon Network executive wants to see a second season. That's what it all boils down to, how much money can Simmons bring in with the time-slot and budget he's gotten. None of the Badgermao shipping, magical realming, or parental abuse allegories amount to anything more than white noise next to a single overworked suit's signature. It's a cartoon and none of the kids are watching it for the gay sex appeal or lack thereof.
No, user. I said I wanted him to shit on you autistic faggots. You aren't fans, as is all the more evident with how hard you're throwing a hissy fit because your fanon gay ship was deconfirmed.
>obvious gay couple
They weren't
>only the LGBT community
No, just no
>queerbating
Again, no
Take your meds, dilate, go outside and apologize to Lauren Zucarites
We are very quickly moving past the era of a white male attempting to tell anyone what they can and cannot have or like. White male showrunner appearing just to tell the LGBT community "Nug uh fags!" is the same toxic behavior people have had to deal with for years and years and this boomer asshole does not even understand just how he might have dome something wrong. He cannot see past his own toxic behavior to understand that he is actually talking down to the LGBT fans and shutting them down in a way of telling the world he does not even want their viewership. He invalidates them, specifically them, and right now only them. No other content creator in 2019 is stupid enough to do anything like that. This is why Mao Mao is a third rate show on saturday mornings while Steven Universe is one of the top series in the history of the channel.
>No but yes
You really don't want a season 2, huh.
Thanks man, I can’t believe that actually worke-
oh god oh fuck oh god oh fuck oh god oh fuck oh god oh
But gay shipping creates butthurt in more ways than one.
I fucked up, nvm
Are there really 30 year olds that think like that? It seems like the past 20 years of internet should have taught them otherwise.
It really seems like out of all the types of fans, shippers are the ones who get the most upset and lash out the most over something not going their way.
Have you never looked at rule 34 before
Nah, because a fan wouldn't be crying this hard that their ship was sunk. A fan would want to see more of Shin Mao, want to see Mao's sisters, want to know more about the lore.
But all you fags care about is who is fucking who.
He liked how...they were not gay. Quit trying to make some kind of spin on that statement.
Yes and 99% of it is absolute garbage
I'm starting to get the impression that you might perhaps be biased because you don't have any personal emotional investment in their relationship and thus can't relate. Just a hunch.
This reads like a buzzfeed article.
Part of me is glad this happened but part of me doesn't. I like the idea of fans interacting with creators because it should be fun and beneficial to the people who like the show and the people who create it, but in reality it isn't. Parker just wanted to make a fun cartoon, and we broke him.
I might be overreacting, but is this the beginning of the end for Mao Mao? I really want a season 2 and it going out like this is just depressing.
their writers are looking for something to make into an event again maybe?
ppl liked steven universe because of the lore. or at least potential lore, they kinda punked out of it a lot with the actual execution but the pilot fans stuck it out. plus straight guys only like lesbians, not male gays.
No, I just enjoy the show.
Try it some time.
I agree, same-sex intimacy must be assumed to be gay for the sake of LGBTQIA2+ representation
They are gay period
You’re right, but their disinterest in the show is just a confirmation that they don’t matter.
Yes, he did. But he did not do this with the intention of leading queers on. Or at least that's what I believe. According to Hanlon's Razor, it is more probable that this arose through ignorance rather than malice.
And if you believe ignorance of it is not an excuse, he also does not seem to have any problem with people shipping it, even if it disagrees with his design. Again, Hanlon's razor
>No
No you don't have any personal emotional investment or no you do?
Nah this is just Parker realizing that tumblr is a shitheap filled with bored teenage girls who have spent years learning how to twist people’s words to their benefit, which is why everyone left except to find porn, and then the porn got banned.
Isn't that how the industry has been working for a while now?
If someone appears just to say how glad he is that a character is not gay, then that is nothing but homophobe behavior. Just that.
Yup, tumblr and twitter are cancer, participating in thise platforms is a mistake.
There's nothing to twist, he made a blog post about how his intent was to make a friendship and that they're JUST friends on purpose, not because of network censorship or as a copout. This isn;t up for debate.
The only thing left is much malice he actually had in his words (probably none) and the fanbases personal reaction to this.
Dude almost no-one on here, Tumblr, or Twitter actually watches the show in a way that gets it ratings. None of our opinions one way or another are going to impact the show's chances of a second season in the slightest. If a show as shit as OK:KO managed three seasons on a schedule every bit as shit, Mao Mao should be cooking with Crisco.
>citation needed
I'm going to need a direct quote for this
Kill it.
lol, no it’s not. You’re just being sensitive and labeling everything you don’t like as homophobic. Just like some guy from Yea Forums calling everything cuck.
Yea my first thought here was
>Fuck....why on tumblr of all places?!
The very site where all fanart has to be ambiguous brown, fat, and vertiligo versions of characters or else you anger the tumblr zeitgeist and they try desperately to make you kill yourself.
It's not about that they're not gay, it's that they're intimate and not romantic.
No, I'm labeling everything that doesn't like me as homophobic
>Dude almost no-one on here, Tumblr, or Twitter actually watches the show in a way that gets it ratings
friendly reminder to WATCH AND/OR BUY THE SHOW FROM ANY LEGAL SOURCE ONCE THEY'VE AIRED AND BECOME AVAILABLE.
The crowd surrounding the industry, at least.
Parker Simmons weebtastic autism is too powerful to contain.
Pretty sure Ok Ko got multiple seasons because it was a mix of lots of former Steven Universe people making it and had several app games which brought in money
Come on...it's about how they're not gay. Not anything else, just that they are not gay.
Now do I put this in my Spinel folder or my Mao Mao folder
Their disregard for keeping consistency or quality of any type probably also made the show much cheaper to make.
So is accidental racism racism worthy of being tarred and feathered?
I intend to.
idk about all that. seems like the show is just still obscure somewhat due to scheduling and the fact it came out of thin air.(to me at least) once more ppl are exposed to it, when it catches popularity, this could be a huge show. What could kill it is ruining the character dynamic with explicit romance. I like the implied stuff better and then maybe a lil something in the finale. I'm still gonna look at r34 comics of maomao getting railed and then he and badger flip. But he could salvage it by saying he doesn't want any explicit and prominent romance involving the any of trio because of the show theme and focus on comedy and action
Why does everyone care when the true OTP is adoramao
In modern culture? Yes. Roxanne was lynched over a joke, despite being an old liberal herself.
>it's that they're intimate
They're kinda not though outside of like 4 moments in 24 episodes. I don't consider all those times BC hugs Mao Mao and Mao Mao looks pissed to really count.
I’m suffering this shitty app for YOU, simmons! I’ll grit my teeth through as many goldfish ads as it takes!
You better appreciate it!!
Fuck you. Mao Mao Mao spent the entire series claiming his name was Mao Mao and it was a fucking lie
I'm running away
Save two copies just in case.
it did get the papa johns guy thrown out.
accidental racism does completely annihilate a career pretty quickly
It's that they're straight but have an intimate relationship, he's said as much and like it or not, the author's intended portrayal is set in stone.
You start a new folder for Mindel, or Spao Spao.
Because a lot of people care way more about virtue signaling than the fact that Adorabat canonically loves Mao Mao.
I'm a faggot myself.
You must be completely and utterly retarded to think there ever was any chemistry between the badger and the cat to begin with. Your unhinged autism is a way bigger problem to to the gay community than any lack of "representation" ever will be.
That is all. Fuck you.
From his perspective there's nothing wrong with promoting male friendship, and to him that's all eh thought he did. He just didn't see how saying "Isn't it great that you can do this and not be labeled gay?" was not a smart thing to do.
>but have an intimate relationship,
But they kinda...don't. They fight and disagree more than anything.
Baderclops was more intimate with his beignets.
They all love eachother platonically
To be fair, that's a lot more than most cartoons, and more than the vast, vast majority when you consider that they weren't play for laughs so much as character development.
The thing that pisses me off about the papa johns thing is that he wasn’t even being racist. It was literally a meeting about avoiding racism and an example of racism during this meeting is what got him toast.
It’s like saying “It’s wrong to call black people niggers” and getting raped over that.
Were all faggots here. Only difference is some of us are faggots from Yea Forums and the others are faggot refugees who haven’t into board culture yet
user, they bicker like an old married couple. It's adorable. They're actually a really realistic already established long-lasting couple outside outside of the lack of any make-out sessions and any relationship words like boyfriend or honey and such.
Remember when we used to have entire threads arguing about how much of an asshole Badgerclops is? I remember. Things were simpler back then.
i love the expression on tanner's face
Not all intimacy is physical. Mao Mao Mao's affection for Badgerclops is much more subtle, but it's undeniably there.
I’ll buy it.
>Not all intimacy is physical
Emotionally, they fight and disagree a lot.
The only thing that really stands out in their relationship is that Badgerclops likes to hug a lot, that's really the only thing that isn't that common in other cartoons.
what if
HOOOOW DAAAAARE YOOOOOOOOU
The badgerclops autist is too busy protecting his ship and shitting ons Simmons to rant about how great Badgerclops is.
I'm a fa/tg/uy and /k/ommando, the only reason I'm here to begin with is to shoot the shit about Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart.
>Spao Spao!
>Posting spoilers for skypirate Badgerclops
Tanner would be devastated
No autist. Conflict is what happens when you have two characters who essentially are the opposite of each other. Your shitty pairing has been dismissed by the creator himself. You are a fucking moron who sees what he wants to see.
You know who else bickers and argues a lot, and doesn't have makeout sessions and pet names? FRIENDS Ever had one of those before?
They get along more than they conflict, autist.
>inb4 punished tanner takes the gloves off and makes the mega-mech look like a wind-up toy
It’s a combination of bickering and Badgerclops being a bit effeminate (and Mao too sometimes).
Perfection.
I seriously do not understand the outrage. Nothing is stopping anyone from writing fics or imaging them as gay. I know that when Tracer in Overwatch was revealed as gay pretty much no one cared and people kept making porn of her taking fifty dicks in the ass.
Why are fujoshits so sensitive? And I say this as someone who thinks it's fun to ship characters for shits and giggles.
>"hurr look at how they bicker, they must have buttsecks all the time!!"
>No retard
>"hurr but look at how they get along, they must have buttsecks all the time!!"
Fucking stop it you waste of oxygen.
Which means nothing in a gay relationship. The great thing about gay relationships is that in a gay relationship your best friend can also be your boyfriend instead of just somebody you put up with to procreate.
opposites attract. Tanya and Mao are opposites too and no one would deny the implied chemistry, yet it was never explicitly stated either. The romantic subtext is there and they do have chemistry. If the creator said tanya was just Mao Mao's friend no one would take him seriously. Their "friends" because its a cartoon for kids, everyones' friends and and no one has genitalia
They aren't logical and love to create drama over nothing.
Okay, this is great. Read it in his voice and everything.
>that Finn expy
Why is this show so perfect?
Who are you quoting? I think you quoted the wrong post.
mao mao practically presented his ass to blue. that's when I realized he was bi
Yeah, this is the only place I can talk about the show since Tumblr is dead and Twitter is the worst social media platform on the planet. I'd hate to lose this place. I like some of you guys.
>Nothing is stopping anyone from writing fics or imaging them as gay.
Nothing, the issue is the message the creator is sending that it's okay to be not gay. Which isn't something an lgbt fanbase is going to like.
This. Can't the drama fags just go back to the shithole that is Twitter already?
I think whatever was between Mao Mao Mao and Tanya Keys is long dead. I read it more like “I used to really like this broad, but then she turned out to be a piece of shit and I bailed”
Too bad there is absolutely no such chemistry between mao mao and badgerclops.
Worse comes to worst, we can always move to and ignore the Leaf nyaaa poster.
Eat shit you fucking niggerfaggot
And I think you should end your life.
>it's okay to be not gay.
But it IS okay to not be gay. WTF am I reading?!?
I know, thanks, you don't need to reinforce a message I've had shoved down my throat my whole life.
It’s not even a message. It IS okay to not be gay. There is no reason anyone HAS to be gay.
What’s the best Adorabat humanization so far?
There's no reason anyone shouldn't be either.
The problem is that the same message keeps hammering us that any physical contact between male friends that isn't explicitly violent/athletic is gay and should be shunned, which isn't psychologically healthy.
None because humanizations are stupid and so are you for liking them.
Which is why it’s okay to not be gay.
that was my impression. It came off very old fling, yet was specifically spoken about in ambiguous "partner" and "friendship" terms. Badgerclops came off like the new boo, who Mao Mao changed for/ more compatible with. It was cute how they get along (badgerclops and tanya) over their love of razzing Mao mao
Reminder that its one or two vocal losers who are still complaining about BadgerMao and if you ignore them we can have good threads
humanizations are dumb
What's the best Adorabat so far? She was cute in Mao Mao's cape
>There is no reason anyone HAS to be gay.
There's no reason anyone HAS to be alive either yet here we are.
WHAT IS THAT?!? AAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Again, I know, every show with male main characters is about male friendship with people who aren't gay. I'm patiently waiting for a prominent gay character in a cartoon.
>episode where coby and tanner argue and split up
>sky pirates don’t know who’s in charge and who’s orders to follow
Badgerclops is kind of a cunt. It's totally believable that he was a villain.
Not until you quote the right posts.
Aaaand you just made up an entire fanfic inside your head.
>that scene with the cockroaches
Why is Adorabat so perfect in every way?
>patiently waiting
>hellbent on shoehorning it in
okay
>Which isn't something an lgbt fanbase is going to like.
Since when was this an "lgbt fanbase"?
Which one has offended you the least?
So cute!
It’s a five year old menace! Aaaah!
Not until you learn how to read.
>Wanting a relationship in a show to at least remain ambiguous out of thousands and thousands of strajgbt male friendships
>STOP SHOEHORNING
Are you just a really awful person with no empathy or like, are you just joking. Which is it.
he tried to saw off adorabat's arm. It made slightly more sense when he said he thought they were the same age. I like the continuity in this show with the character behaviours. like that time the face on orangusnake weird body moved that one episode. Then we find out he's garnet later. planting seeds, i like it
When hundreds of Tumblrites latched onto self-inserting as Badgerclops.
Since you started being such a fag.
oh shit you're right. Needs a sex scene though. I'll update in 3 months
I had noticed that some people were weirdly angry whenever the fact that Badgerclops is a piece of shit was brought up. I just didn’t think it was a self insert thing.
is anything being said on twitter at all?
like 2 post with less than 40 retweets. So no, not really
>Things were simpler back then.
I can't believe I'm getting nostalgic for a few months ago.
Empathy for who? The retarded BadgerclopsxMao dumbfucks who has shat up these threads since day one? Maybe you should stop being so emotionally invested in some dumb headcanon of a silly comedy cartoon.
Also, you know you can't be here if you are younger than 18?
I feel like a retard for saying something like this but I feel that you are propagating a sort of "toxic masculinity" in which straight men cant act in sensitive or effeminate ways otherwise they'd be gay.
It's like a sort of sexuality purity spiraling under which you are gay until proven innocent
Adorabat riding Mao Mao.
Trigger warning: sexy, not gay, extremely homophobic.
Christ, you are really laying on thick that you don't want the gays to have any crumbs. Were you abused as a kid, is that why you're a terrible person?
These costume designs are amazing
Badgerclops is entirely white and thats bothering me.
Oh great, now Parker is a racist. Thanks user.
Has anyone managed to figure out how to get the full resolution from these recent Tumblr image URLs? 66.media.tumblr.com
F
here's your new thread
He was Polar Bearclops in the pilot/teaser stuff, he probably got a species change so he wouldn't overlap too much with Ice Bear
Here guy, I found this for you.
afaik tumblr automatically shrinks images so it’s basically impossible to get their full size from the site itself. Some artists post full sizes off site but otherwise you’re sol
>/trash/
that sounds like a bad idea.I'll see you guys when the next batch of episodes comes out and hopefully the threads are back to normal
I would prefer not to
>humanizations
Literally just as cringe as drawing furfag versions of human characters.
These threads have never been normal, tho.
DELET THIS
i honestly, and i'd never thought i'd say this
prefer the gay furry fanart than the threads right now.
humanizations are cool unless they are spongebob humanizations
that's just wrong
just let it be. Personally will prefer it if you guys took your autistic faggotry off Yea Forums for a day or two. Even if your show is ongoing.
>Yea Forums
>taking a break
They were literally before this weekend's episodes aired.
People keep talking about the drama rather than the show and thats sinking this thread. Hopefully in a day or two when it fizzles out we'll be able to actually talk about stuff related to Mao Mao.
I think the show's good and hopefully gets a second season.
I can understand why people do humanisations, but I remain convinced that they *always* lack personality compared to the original design
Probably because it’s designed by amateurs rather than professionals
Badgerfag is relentless and will not stop. Sorry.
Orangusnake's pupils narrowing as he processes the threat is a fantastic touch. Also nice that Tanner protects Colby.
viltigo badgerclops scares me
You can at least get 720p from URLs like this 66.media.tumblr.com
Even if there's a 500 instead of 1280 at the end you can just replace it. But the've implemented a new one that random images have sometimes and it means the image is stuck at the smallest size because you can't just change the number at the end like normal. For a long time you could get the raw resolution but they've been obscuring it more and more ever since that knowledge came out.
Cute
>Badgerclops' arm is a jerk
Me and my friend were talking about the posibility that badgerclops has been asimilated by his arm, and is nothing but a meat puppet for it. Which is why they have the exact same passive aggressive shitty personality.
Why do tumblr and twitter keep making things worse with their images, why do they make it such a chore to access the full-size image of something?
Badgerclops used to be Bearclops at one point in time. Maybe they changed his species because they didn’t want to clash with We Bare Bears, or something like that? You can still see him as Bearclops in the ”I Love You Mao Mao” teaser and the ”Bearclops Drawing Song” video from a couple of years ago.
Even then, humanisations will usually have retarded clothes or hairstyles just to keep the look of the characters recognizable with zero regards for what the character looks like.
Like your example - in what fucking world would a person like Mao Mao have a silly-ass cat ears haircut? It just feels like the artist has zero confidence in their own ability to make a human recognizably be "Mao Mao".
Which is especially weird since that's a perfectly fine Badgerclops (except for those little tufts of hair that look like ears, god dammit)
>zero regards for what the character looks like
Woops, I meant for what the character *is* like. As in, what personality they have.
>BC didn’t program the voice, but the other way around
Freaky
I love it
True, true. It's an issue with all humanizations in general. But it also plays into the fact that many of these artists are amateurs and not particularly good at character design.
I thought the spare arm sparking when Mao held it in his hands meant it was malfunctioning.
otherwise I think he really is just a bitch. he brings up his parents too much for it to be anything but mommy/daddy issues.
Shhh shshshhshshshhh
The evil has been defeated.
Let this dying thread drift gently out to sea, where we’ll never speak of this again
I interpreted it to mean he was holding unfamiliar technology that he had severely underestimated
my reply vanished, but that was the point I was trying to make. They are implied an old fling, but the language used is "friend" and old "parnter". Meaning that the show generally avoid romance thematically in favor of subtex, which isn't abnormal or anti anything
Case in point.
Could be. The arm was in storage, it was probably mad that Badgerclops wasn't using it, too.
I think Mao Mao was in agony because it was directly integrating with his nervous system
I want an episode centered around Pinky. Will there be one?
what if it was his old arm sleeve before he bit the bullet and sawed off his real one instead? maybe its faulty b/c its an old prototype or sumthing
time to move
Badgerclops seems like the type of tinkerer to let repair projects hang in the balance because he's too unmotivated to finish ;_;
