What's with recent shows and having a bunch of creator drama?
12forever creator is pedo
1. Social media was a mistake
2. Most cartoonists are crazy one way or the other, it's in their nature, otherwise they wouldn't be cartoonists
3. Maomao's creator told shipfags to fuck off? Based
The industry's new blood are unprofessional (pic somewhat related)
>MaoMao creator told everybody that their ship isn't canon
More info?
Twitter.
i dont think the Mao Mao one counts as creator drama, Jhonen Vasquez said similar thing in InvaderCon and it didn't matter for shippers
Vasquez's disdain for his fanbase has been common knowledge for give or take a decade
>telling shipfags to fuck off
based
>MaoMao creator told everybody that their ship isn't canon
What a legend
That's some effective publicity. I wasn't interested in Maomao but now I'm gonna watch it just to dab on the shipfags.
>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

Dude is scared and doesn't know what else to do.
it's a great platonic friendship regardless
>Shitting on shippers
Sounds good.
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. hopefully he sleeps on the next apology he has planned, because a third deletion is just going to be sad
I would say he should just ignore the fujos, but his show needs viewers (his show is the bottom of the Cartoon Network totem pole) but total props for not feeding the crocodile
I don't like vore but the way he nonchalantly talks about it is great, and he shits on shippers too, this guy is great. Too bad all of this means the cartoon will get cancelled because we can't have nice things.
Is this pasta? Because if not, fucking wew lad.
>>Infinite train creator believes that every cartoon is excempt from criticism and is a heneral douchebag
let me guess, they said Yea Forums should fuck off and you got butthurt about it?
based
it's funny but he's a dumbass for explicitly wandering into that minefield
>people give a shit what random cartoonists are doing on social media
Why
Isn't there other shit in the world to care about
Simple. The creators got social media accounts.
What you think this is a new phenomenon or something?
>vore artist ruins his career
Good. I always had a bad feeling about Mao Mao. Glad I never got into it.
Nah, he'll be right. I just took a quick glance at the Mao Mao tags on Twitter and Tumblr and there's about a 75/25 split on people who are fine with Simmons' statement (shippers included) and people who take offense to it. And I had to go down a decent way to get to people talking about it too, the majority is just furry shit and people talking about the new episodes. This'll blow over in like two days.
>12forever creator is pedo
what?
...
Not many IZ shippers in 2013 knew about JTHM chapter 7
>this whole post
Shut the fuck up Yea Forumsmblr.
Males don't deserve affections from anyone who isn't another male they're having sex with. Why the fuck do you exist if you're not a handsome Chad fucking other Chads for female enjoyment? You should kys and protect Earth's atmosphere.
>What's with recent shows and having a bunch of creator drama?
honestly one of the first clauses any media company should have regarding their employees is to ban them from using any form of Social Media unless it's their specific job
>a heneral douchebag
So, like, a hemroid?
Whoa, that's a part of my comment right there in the image, almost word-for-word.
Does anyone have screencaps of the deleted posts? I want to see if he really fucked up or if it's just the LGBT mafia being bullies while pretending to be victims again.
Why the fuck do you have to make straight male friendships about the feelings of unrelated faggots?
you overthink stuff too much
I think of he is scared or intimidated by anything it's because apparently CN and rebecca's sugar are big into firing people because of something they did that they don't like. Things like having an differing opinion than them posted on social media.
>MaoMao creator told everybody that their ship isn't canon and shit hit the fan and instead of shutting up made things worse. And was revealed to like vore
How is this drama? This is him being awesome.
Eat shit faggot. Male camaraderie has been neutered by you pandering shitheads.
I mostly agree with this post. Even though you got carried away with the "legbutts and allies" part.
It's pretty retarded seeing straight guys get worried about being seen as gay.
Because faggots have co-opted male identity, just like dykes have co-opted female identity.
It's like a double edged sword; You gotta have social media to get noticed and hired, but if you actually use it passionately, you're gonna post something questionable and possibly ruin yourself.
I don't even know why the vore thing is anything other a slightly humorous mistake. Who cares?
Found the post. I get his point, but I get why people are mad. Platonic and affectionate male relationships are important, but he's making it seem like it's rarely done.
It's posted a lot that people get bothered when fujoshi see two close male characters as romantic. But it seems like the solution to that is to normalize gay relationships more, rather than just showcase affectionate male friendships. If being gay wasn't seen as taboo/wrong, then heterosexual men wouldn't mind being affectionate.
>normalize gay relationships more, rather than just showcase affectionate male friendships. If being gay wasn't seen as taboo/wrong, then heterosexual men wouldn't mind being affectionate.
Never gonna happen.
Then things might never improve.
That's what happens when you use utopian thinking. You'll always fail.
Homosexuality will never be completely normalized, because it isn't normal. Not even in a moral sense, but in the sense that it isn't the norm, and so long as our species survives it never will be.
So make all televised close male relationships gay, so that when two real male friends are close, people assume they're gay, just like now?
Even if homosexuality was seen as a positive thing rather than neutrally, I think men would still be somewhat sensitive to being labeled as such.
He's completely right in every single way and didn't say a single thing wrong. He didn't even condemn people for shipping them, just that he didn't view their relationship that way personally.
I say he's not wrong to be bothered about that. Same applies to siblings - there's no way out other than writing them as vicious enemies. If they get along too well shippers just assume they must be fucking then.
Liking platonic relationships is suffering.
Why can’t we have more gay relationships *and* more affectionate male friendships in media? One doesn’t have to cancel out the other. I understand what Parker Simmons was trying to say. He was trying to argue that toxic masculinity prevents men from being openly affectionate with their male friends. He was a bit clumsy when writing about it, since he doesn’t know the social justice lingo very well, but the Internet is always too eager to ‘cancel’ the next person and start a mob over a misunderstanding. Add that he’s telling shippers what they don’t want to hear and that results in this overblown outrage.
that's some short sighted and self centered thinking right there
I get the feeling that you've never actually realized there were already times and place and cultures where it already was normalized?
>as long as our species survives
bitch people don't even need to have sex to reproduce anymore
>that's some short sighted and self centered thinking right there
So acknowledging basic facts of life is short sighted and self centered? Fuck off. You're the one trying to make the world cater to what you want, cunt, not me.
>I get the feeling that you've never actually realized there were already times and place and cultures where it already was normalized?
I get the feeling you don't actually understand those cultures, especially because I can predict that you're going to say ancient Greece. And you'd be wrong.
>bitch people don't even need to have sex to reproduce anymore
And you think that will suddenly make people non-hetero? Face it, the gay population is 5% of the world. It can't be normalized because it is not normal by definition.
>makes flaming faggot king character
>constant homoeroticism in the friendship
>"It's just platonic!"
Seems more like there's some unresolved issues in him that could be solved by playing Catherine Fullbody.
I know he needs views but I hate how cartoonists bend so fucking far for tumblr users. Who the fuck cares what they say or do
Vasquez did it best by giving even in a 40 mile radius the middle finger
Your fanfics doesn't make the characters gay. You're part of the problem.
>Infinite train creator believes that every cartoon is excempt from criticism
No-one gives a fuck about that.
>and is a heneral douchebag
whut
>Matt Braly is perfect
Heterosexual men ARE affectionate, just not when (single) women are around.
12forever lady is a molester?
Can I get a rundown?
(Bogdanoff rundown style is welcome)
You reading eroticism into cartoon cats is your own damage, bro.
>Maomao creator is a monster girl quest vorfag
That actually makes a lot of sense.
I don't know dude that one with the Raccoon girl heavily implied he had a romantic relationship with her. Smelled a lot like Batman and Catwoman.
Can you blame him?
>What's with recent shows and having a bunch of creator drama?
They're all made by dysfunctional people and we live in an era where extremely dysfunctional people hold a disproportionate amount of power based entirely on how much gossip they can wield against their foes.
In a land of NPCs the dysfunctional man is king.
>Like Leslie and Ann on Parks and Rec
What a fucking normie.
Hawt.
Kill yourself yaoifag.
I think the general takeaway from this is that anyone who takes shipping seriously is a mentally ill mega-fag.
>Telling Fujos to fuck off is a bad thing
Good on him. It’s nice to see someone nipping them in the bud instead of kowtowing to them. I didn’t care about the show before, but i might actually give it a chance now.
>Dude is scared and doesn't know what else to do.
He doesn't have to do anything because nobody cares.
Cartoon creators are perverts. It shouldn't be that shocking. People are just prudes.
