Why does everyone hate this episode...

Why does everyone hate this episode? It's the only time Dipper is unique and interesting without another character being involved.

Because no one likes Dipper

I've never understood why this one is hated. There are wayyy worse ones in season 2 and some of the shows best jokes are in the episode. The whole montage in the middle, Pitiutaur, the manotaurs doing stupid shit, and all the stuff with Lazy Susan is great. I'd argue there's not one bad episode in season 1. Season 2 is another story but season 1 was hilarious and well written from beginning to end.

This episode is hated? I’ve never see that. More often than no I see people (rightly) shitting on The last Mablecorn or the road trip episode

You're full of shit OP. But if there are any complaints it's that it's another muh toxic masculinity episode. So you'll either like it or hate it based on that. There was never a massive outrage storm, you're just trying to make one.

I don't think anyone hates this episode outside of Tumblr for promoting 'toxic masculinity' or some other bullshit nonsense. Tumblr isn't people though, so does that even really count?

So is the episode for or against "toxic masculinity"?

Whatever not killing singing bears falls under.

I don't get it either, OP. In this show's entire run the only episode I genuinely disliked was Roadside Attraction.

It's fucking boring and was replayed a million times.

It's solidly agianst, the whole ending of the episode has dipper turn agianst the traditionally masculine crowd and side with a feminine monster. Tummblerites are morons though, remember these are the same people who thought bioshock 3 was racist because it takes place in a racist society you are actively dismantling.

The only other thing I could see is the final moral. Being a man is about standing up for your own convictions and not falling to peer pressure. Which, If that's toxic masculinity to you then Jesus Christ.

The message of the episode itself is about not letting the world define what's masculine to you, and how doing what's right because you believe in it even in the face of opposition or at personal cost is what actually makes you 'your own man'. Stan even summarises as much at the end.

Tumblr, being filled with drooling retards and crazies, thought that this was promoting 'toxic masculinity' for some reason. I guess anything focusing on masculinity that isn't automatically demonizing it just triggers them

>bioshock 3 was racist because it takes place in a racist society you are actively dismantling.
To be fair, it does end up portraying the underground minority fighters trying to dismantle the racist society as extremists taking things too far and they all become antagonists in the last batch of the game.

Is nobody going to say anything about shotabait? Despite him running around in just a loincloth half the ep?

We're keeping this discussion civil for a change

Yeah but the people complaining hadn't played the game through

>agianst

a·gainst

Also that lowkey bonding moment between Dipper and Sanji.

>Sanji
*Stan
I don't really know what I was thinking about.

So based then?

>twf no episode of Dipper helping Sanji get over his eternal pining for a girl that’s just not interested in him.

If anything that's especially non-racist, because it treats the characters as flawed humans no matter what race they are.

All the examples you mentioned were really bland and weak compared to the other episodes, which were way funnier.
S1 had some dud episodes like this one and Boyz Crazy. If you laugh at every single joke then that says much more about you than it does about the show.

Don't forget the cobra tattoo emerging from his groin.

True shota bait would have included a view of Dipper’s bare ass. The loincloth blows aside at one point, but he has no bum. Kind of a letdown.

Because of 1 dimensional masculinity is why I never care for it, it was a muh episode. Gravity Falls does best at mystery not Shipping or Love or finding one self.

It was the first episode that just felt like a standard sitcom cartoon and not about a special mysterious town and it's mysterious mysteries. It was all downhill from there.

Disagree about the Love part. The romance was so so, but the familial love in this show was fantastic. The ending of Soos' birthday episode still gets me every time I rewatch it.

It's straight up my favorite Gravity Falls episode and the one I most rewatched.

Some humans have more excuse to be flawed than the others. They had it rough, growing up in the world of white oppression. What excuse do white incels have?

The familial love started to fall apart in season two.

This episode is hated? Bro Dipper becomes bros with a Multi-Headed Bear. I wish Multi-Bear was in more episodes, so he could bro out with Dipper.

Mabel gets to hang out with her lame friends and shit. Why can’t Dipper hang out with his brother bear and investigate creepy creatures with him?

Blendin’s Game is objectively >>>>>>>> Weirdmageddon and Tale of Two Stans. So you’re right.

Manotaurs were fun

Because Alex is a hack

Strongly disagree, but I adore all three episodes anyway.

Because aside from a love of the islandic pop group Baba, they really had nothing in common and the bear would probably prefer to be left alone and chill in his cave then go babysit a 12 year old all summer.

Only if you somehow missed the entire message of the show. The bonds were tested because conflict is necessary for any story, but they all come out intact and stronger for it.

Or, you know, it "both sides" the situation. When one side are fucking slavers and colonists, while the other are, you know, slaves.

it was boring and uninteresting, not funny either. one of the worst episodes which is saying something. Dipper wasn't interesting it was just the typical "I feel emasculated :(" shit. I remember just wanting the episode to end first viewing.

The message got messed up when it was no longer about a family looking out for each other and became about one-sided sacrifices. Mabel needed Dipper more than he ever needed her, and Stan ultimately ruined his own life.

You're on Phantom Limb's shitlist.

>If you laugh at every joke it says something about you

When did I say or imply I did?
