The Powerpuff Girls was a gender neutral show that just happened to have female protagonists. The same goes for Kim Possible and My Life as a Teenage Robot. I find it weird that people think these are aimed specifically at girls when they were more gender neutral. Winx Club was much more specifically aimed towards girls than these three

I think this is true. Look at things like Buffy the vampire Slayer. She’s a girly girl who got chosen for something she didn’t want but she’s likable and grows as a person.
What makes a show gender neutral? What makes a show aimed at girls?
Style over substance = aimed at girls
Style and Substance = gender neutral
Bit sexist innit?
It has to do with the tone and feel honestly
soul (neutral or for boys) vs soulless (for girls)
>What makes a show aimed at girls?
The protagonist being a girl
>what is The Legend of Korra
On that note, I'm probably the only one who hated The Legend of Korra
Pretty sure boys aren't crazy about love triangles and dykes holding hands
I guarantee you that you do not hate The Legend of Korra as much as me
I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't find Powerpuff Girls, Kim Possible, or Teenage Robot to be "girls shows"!
This isn't really a hot take. Tons of guys liked these shows, many of them just weren't vocal about it as kids.
That’s not true. People didn’t care about identify politics back then. Good cartoons were good cartoons regardless of who the main character was
I must have dreamed about all the barbie stuff then
Kys
That is true, though one exception I noticed is that The Horse Show was aimed at girls and that had a large male following
>many of them just weren't vocal about it as kids.
Bullshit butthole everyone was talking about PPG. It had action, blood in the intro and was funny. Kids who didn't talk about it were the ones who didn't have cable. Boys were starved for action and outside of Toonami and MAYBE an episode of Dexter's Lab or something nothing else could scratch that it. Outside of wrestling.
That's a hot take?
Shut up Faust
>The violence is the only reason why The PowerPuff Girls became Cartoon Network's biggest hit
>Ron and Rufus antics sold the show (most preteen girls thought cartoons were too kiddy and preferred live-action kidcoms)
and Teenage Robot?
That one episode where the Rowdy Ruff boys show up and Buttercup charges in first and attacks the red one (I can’t remember their names it’s been forever) but then they all jump her. It was good shit. They also had a bunch of great villains honestly and the PPG were fleshed out and unique
>Burgers trying to convince themselves that shit like mlp isn't for girls and that girls can reject pink
Meanwhile shounen = for boys and shoujo = for girls
How shocked would people be if I say that according to Genndy, PPG was more popular with boys than with girls?
about 5-8 shocks
The merchandise was entirely aimed towards girls.
There's your answer, homosexual.
^
They criticized the merch in one episode and basically used a weeb character who owned all thing power puff girls. He was a creep so….
They also criticized it in the bootlegs episode when a fake Buttercup says "girl power!" and the real one cringes when the Professor thinks its her catchphrase
Cause she's a tomboy you moron
So how much of a hot take is it that I think PPG was aimed towards gender neutral audiences, but the merch was aimed towards girls?
Bump
Kys pedo
"Hot take" and it's just an objective fact that Cinemaphile is too moronic to accept.
Slay it queen
>Kim Possible
>gender neutral
wasn't Disney Channel a channel specifically for girls?
It was a gender neutral show, but all of the merchandise was aimed at girls which i think gave a lot of people the wrong idea.
Explain this then
read
Thanks a lot for that really hot take, moron
Now we're not getting any actual hot takes in this thread
The Problem Solverz was good once you get past the art style
ITT trannies and pedos
Which one are you?
Check
Here's a hot take
Fanboy and Chum Chum was actually a creative and fun cartoon
Forgot to say that I love the owl house and she-ra btw
Why was Johnny Test hated so much? I thought the first season wasn't that bad
Cheap knockoff of Dexter's Lab with endless whipcrack.
Jimmy Neutron was also like Dexter's Lab, yet it was never hated on as much
Season 1 isn't hated
Ed, Edd n Eddy is overrated
Jimmy Neutron was good
The Simpsons has gone downhill and is now a zombie that needs to be put out of its misery
Family Guy sucks now
The Nutshack sucked
The SpongeBob episode The Splinter was horrible
Hot take: Family Guy sucks nowadays. It's not even funny how much it blows now
LGBT doesn't drive sales in male-dominated IPs. They never have. They never will.
That is the most lukewarm take I've ever heard you moron
Powerpuff Girls being a gender neutral show is a lukewarm take?
Yes, because the only people who think otherwise know literally nothing about the show. Something can't be a hot take if it's the default majority-held opinion.
Dreamworks is overrated and it's fans only like it for Shrek or Puss in Boots ignoring that is the same studi that bring us fricking Shark Tale and Turbo
Fosters home is a fun show
>OP thinks this is a hot take
Have a reaction image.
Breadwinners was kino
Sanjay and Craig got better after the first season
Now that is pretty hot, OP.
Anon coping because he got made fun of for watching girls cartoons when he was younger
