i appreciate you understanding what i actually tried to say and ignoring my flub
also, i'd argue that's not the case
yes Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile in general had a lot of tourists that came about as a result of a misguided understanding of what this website is, and for the longest time it was an image that we projected, but in recent years that image was completely unrelated to us
the most recent bout of tourism, the 2020 covid tourism, brought in a buncha normies who think, or want this website to be, like every other social media website
seriously observe the normalgay language, all the "yikes schizo, tell me __ without telling me ____, touch grass, my brother in christ this is a denny's" yadda yadda, observe how often people get angry at even the notion of a 'normie' (the first sign that outsiders are taking over a community is the attempt to dismantle words that seperate the outsiders from the community), notice the way they try and de-anonymize everyone by digging thru the archive like it's someone's reddit posting history and comparing reaction images
these are the worst types of people in my opinion
because i'm used to Cinemaphile and it's insanity, i can handle idiots, i can handle sex weirdos, i can handle annoying buttholes, i can handle atists
but what i cant put up with is the shit that is the normie world flowing in here like a sewer
i cannot handle skinwalkers
NTA but I would suggest being more sincere. Basically, you have to call out morons for being morons and be honest when you write stuff. If irony and post irony have poisoned the internet, it must be washed out. Do as one pleases; if homies be too irony poisoned or whateverpilled or what have you to read legitimate opinions, frick 'em and write what you actually think anyway.
I'm with you there homie. At this point i treat every ragebaiting shitposter as a /b/ era troll that's just trying to collect (you)s while knowing what a homosexual they sound like but le Cinemaphile trolls do this so they have to.

In a post ironic culture, genuine sincerity is the new irony. But we definitely need more of it.
>notice the way they try and de-anonymize everyone by digging thru the archive like it's someone's reddit posting history and comparing reaction images
Shit that never happened for $500
It’s does happen but it only happens to people that are schizophrenic morons that constantly spam the same shit daily (ie Barnygay) and make a general nuisance of themselves.
As a rule of thumb, if Op makes any political or sociopolitical statement, approach the thread under the assumption that it's the opposite
Leftist statement? OP is rightwing and is baiting
Rightwing statement? OP is leftist and is baiting
Always assume that and operate under that belief and you'll be alright
How is it projection? How many social commentary episodes depict chuds as the ones correct and regular people as being wrong so they can be upset and project it onto others?
Lobotomies, eugenics, genocide, and sterilization were all on the "right" side of history. In fact some of these things have been rebranded to still be on the "right" side of history.
It's not just that; it's that people keep trying to force their personal politics on their audience, who more often than not DO NOT FRICKING CARE what mental damage the creators have - especially when the target audience is kids. They then wonder why their dumb show doesn't last, and people talk smack about them and their preachy episodes, when all the audience wanted was the show they originally signed up for.
CARTOON WRITERS are given a week or two to reduce complex social issues to something appropriate to the target demographic and that fits in with the tone of the rest of the series. They just aren't good enough and don't have enough time to develop the idea.
Here's an article about a particularly poorly-received Captain Planet episode about the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The writers had no time to make it good.
>"Unfortunately, on a weekly TV schedule, I had precious little time to do research, and none for travel. I had read that in Belfast, there was an economic dimension to the conflict that I tried to bring out. But I didn’t know anyone from Ulster who could guide me on the dialogue and the tone."
>"On Captain Planet, I had 13 scripts to deliver in 13 weeks. Every Monday, I had to get at least one premise approved, plus submit a first-draft outline, a first-draft script, a second-draft script, and a final (polished) script that went to the actors to record.
>"Week in, week out, I had to hit all those production dates. There was no real time for research, though I had read a lot of news stories about each of the conflicts, and the issues behind them."
Not relevant to modern cartoons that dont even have writers or real directors, just storyboarders coming up witth stuff off the top of their head. Skeleton Gun wasnt a script rushed in a week, its an idea in a hat that they stewed on for months.
Old cartoon writers weren't great to begin with, but modern boarders are worse. They're art students, not English majors, and have no or minimal training on how to handle the subjects. Given time, the writers could've made something better - but the boarders couldn't, even with months of lead time.
It really shows how fricking worthless they see these shows as to let them be run that way. Even when its a cartoon for the teen and up demographic they consider it such low slop they would rather give artists more burdens instead of paying writers
Except it wasn't meant to be an allegory, according to the writers when questioned. It was just a stupid episode about an annoying magical horse; brain damaged internet types were the ones that claimed it was meant to be one.
>In addition to shattering old tropes and kick-punching dated ideas, the new “Powerpuff Girls” will also address issues of gender and identity. One upcoming episode in particular touches on ideas of gender identity -- a topic open to conversation even in animated shows, thanks to programs such as “Steven Universe,” which explores gender fluidity and rejects established gender norms.
>“We did an episode where there’s a unicorn. Basically when it starts out, he’s a pony, but he wants to be a unicorn,” Jennings explained. “He has to go through a transformation to become a unicorn and so it’s a whole [episode that asks], ‘What are you on the inside? What are you on the outside? How do you identify yourself? How do people see you?’ There’s a lot of subtext in that.”
>And while the showrunners are mindful of their target demographic, they don’t believe in shying away from more complicated themes, with a proper approach.
>“I don’t think you can be too young to start talking about those issues and thinking about those things and just presenting an attitude,” said Jennings, “and a voice that is going to resonate with people.”
1- the problem does not make sense in the context of the world.
2- many times it is contradictory.
3- at the end of the episode the problem is simplified so that the protagonist does not look like an idiot.
ah alright, they're probably cringe because serious issues are usually dumbed down due to their intended child audience which makes them cringe, they're not gonna show a black dude getting a knee in his neck on teen titans go (i hate that show) but instead show people hating cyborg for being part robot or something, also because most modern media age terribly as theyre set in the modern age and intended to be viewed in the modern age
Basically a gun control episode but the "gun" doesn't kill people it makes them into skeletons.
says
In a show where the MCs work as a literal convenience store that's shown selling weapons like bags of chips. In a show where every third person can shoot lasers out of their taint. In a show where literal walking talking skeleton people are already an established thing lmao
this one is worse than any older bullshit PSA or 'vewwy vewwy special episode' because everyone involved in this one was probably a True Believer(tm) of the messaging and instead of the tiniest hint of compromise they turn characters expressing reasonable beliefs into strawmen because they believe anything their opponent says is blasphemy to be ridiculed
it's a really sour stain on the show since I remember Parker being really absurd about it on social media when it aired. I want to like KO but episodes like this make it hard to enjoy
i came here to see softcore porn of pacifica northwest and wendy corduroy dumbass how did you not know that, but something about this thread enrages me that i had to call you morons dumbasses
gotta love the irony of a world where magic kung fu and deadly robots are commonplace but a heckin' NotGun is treated as the most serious thing in the world
The funniest thing is that skeleton people are a real specie in that universe so the episode accidentally delivered a racist message as well >You don't want to live the rest of your life like a worthless Skelton don't you?
Because cartoons aren't real life. That might seem obvious, but every cartoon has to work within their fictional world rather than our real one. So when you try to push our real world into the cartoon one, you put everything out of balance.
Because they aren't commentary. They are preaching coming from a place of profound outrage made worse by profound ignorance and a stubborn unwillingness to engage with reality on reality's terms.
It's why you can point out that every mass shooter was known to the FBI, sometimes for years in advance, and certain types of people will still insist that the solution is simply to ban guns, instead of realizing that the people who have the power to prevent tragedies are instead seemingly encouraging them.
The thing OK KO really suffers from is that when it wants to be tongue in cheek about something that was super lame, it doesn't change the fact that it is still super lame.
>Change of tone from all other episodes >Message is moronic because is being written by Cali nepobabis who never experienced life outside of university and their cliches >As such they often are poorly researched as well, often just parroting telephoned talking points from the writers favorite shitty news channel >Sometimes they just outright lie to push their point
There are so many factors working against them since they inherently are about sending a message first and telling a story second. They are difficult to pull off properly, so its no surprise that most just suck.
Static Shock did it in 2002, literally aired months after 9/11 and only three years after columbine. If a show two decades old can make a far more coherent and intelligent statement on guns than OK KO, there is a problem on the shows fault.
The Skeleton Remote episode is especially bad because it felt like it was written by a child. It had no nuance on tbe subject of gun control and seemed to argue that banning all guns everywhere forever was a valid solution to the problem.
no, because alignments are not rules, they're guidelines
also it's stupid because hell is STILL a plane LITERALLY aligned with EVIL
ANGELS are LITERALLY outsides aligned with GOOD AND BENEVOLENCE
there is no point to gods without alignments
>restricted RP
imagine thinking that a character that has no worldview or principles is worth roleplaying. imagine taking away the motivations for a character. like what the frick kind of a question is that
>character creation
that's not an argument either, because characters can change from the time that they're created. it just has to make sense and be gradual
how is this such a huge leap in logic for some people?
also, dungeon masters should put guidelines in place because if the party is a bunch of murder hobo shit, and the DM punishes them with a TPK, everyone has no one to blame but themselves because the DM didn't put in alignments and the players didn't have any sort of discipline about their make believe
These "social commentary" episodes always fall flat when the cartoon in question thinks they're making the world different by being preachy.
Meanwhile Smiling Friends just had an episode about the president and election BS. Not gonna pretend that episode is a scathing satire or anything but it doesn't need to be. It's a goofy comedy.
>O...K...K...O... O K K O...Is that short for something? Someone find out. Anyway, folks, you've got this show here, this cartoon, which by the way is not like the cartoons that were on when I was a kid. You see the way they draw hands? They're just circles! They can't draw hands! I tell you, my son Barron, so talented, even he can draw hands. They must outsource the drawings to CHINA! I don't know...I don't know...anyway, so this cartoon, turns out it's owned by warnermedia, which also owns CNN. The Fake News, CNN. So I watch an episode of this show, unbelievable. Their boss, Mr.Gar, standing there with his nipples protruding, very very disrespectful. And it's not just me saying this, but the women on this show, and we love our women...but so thick. Some would say, too thick! I mean, you look at them, and they're all legs! And it's not just me, but many people are saying this, MANY PEOPLE! So I call up my guys, I call up Jared, he knows about these things, and I say "look, we have to cancel this show." You hear those cheers? They had to insert those cheers when Dendy walked in, FAKE CHEERS, but our people, the BEST people, they knew we had to cancel the show. And boy, did we cancel it. 40 episode season, yuge season....and we halved it! Down to 20! Cancelled it bigly!
Social commentary episodes can be good, but they require one to keep the show good, deliver the message in a way that doesn’t come off as condescending or hamfisted, avoid pulling punches while being reasonably appropriate, and be precise with the point. If you aim to have opposing sides, there has to be some room for an actual argument rather than bad faith… the exception of this being something that is pretty obvious for kids to know is bad like smoking or littering. Nobody’s perfect about this, but at least avoid being hamfisted.
OK KO bungled its anti-gun episode with its cowardly execution of the consequences of using the skeleton beams being relatively harmless, Static Shock did a good job by not holding punches with the dangers of guns and showing why someone would want to use one.
Because they usually remind chudcels they are on the wrong side of history or some shit. Is that the response you wanted?
Actually yeah thank you for being a good faith position reader anon, hope you have a wonderful and blessing day.
i have Cinemaphile so much, bros
I hate it as well. We acted like morons for too long and now the real morons have taken over.

That’s why I’m absolutely deadpan when I see those irony poisoned morons.
Tl;dr
I've been here 18 years and you talk like a gay

No he's right. You'll see it a lot especially on the Cinemaphile derived boards.
It’s does happen but it only happens to people that are schizophrenic morons that constantly spam the same shit daily (ie Barnygay) and make a general nuisance of themselves.
Yeah, it’s gotten really bad on certain boards. Even niche boards like /m/ got hit pretty hard.
My fellow /m/an. I wish it was not like this.
I am sorry it's like this.
All because some rich girl committed suicide.

Cinemaphile is just Reddit but you can say Black person or homosexual

9/10 times OP posts are bait. The first post is the kind of response the rage farmers cream themselves over.

fpbp
Can you spell "projection"
How is it projection? How many social commentary episodes depict chuds as the ones correct and regular people as being wrong so they can be upset and project it onto others?
Because you are transgender
I accept your concession
Projection
This. Most incels here don't realize they're just a vocal minority and they hate that.
History is a fickle b***h
Lobotomies, eugenics, genocide, and sterilization were all on the "right" side of history. In fact some of these things have been rebranded to still be on the "right" side of history.
Because execgays and censors are too moronic to let them EXPLICITLY say what the episode is about.
It's not just that; it's that people keep trying to force their personal politics on their audience, who more often than not DO NOT FRICKING CARE what mental damage the creators have - especially when the target audience is kids. They then wonder why their dumb show doesn't last, and people talk smack about them and their preachy episodes, when all the audience wanted was the show they originally signed up for.
I care, get over it pissbaby
Because they are not nuanced. You need to have depths in characters - both good and bad.
depends how is done.
9 out of 10 of them are written by sheltered Californian liberals who are extremely out of touch with the rest of society and even reality

didn't they turn that Northern Ireland stuff into west side story?
I feel like regardless of your position on the sociopolitical clusterfrick, Skeleton Remotes are the worst allegory I've ever seen
Nah the Unicorn-trans one from PPG 2016 was way worse
How could it be worse? Let's Not Be Skeletons fails at it's premise for contextually and metatextually. It's a double whammy of failure.
So does that unicorn episode and if anything it makes itself look like an ANTI trans episode
Except it wasn't meant to be an allegory, according to the writers when questioned. It was just a stupid episode about an annoying magical horse; brain damaged internet types were the ones that claimed it was meant to be one.
No, they were serious.

Basically a gun control episode but the "gun" doesn't kill people it makes them into skeletons.

you guys are criticizing a childrens show theres no fricking way OMEGALUL, this show is for fricking children and you guys are critiquing it?
Do you realize that you are in Cinemaphile and that you came in to say that nonsense?
i came here to see softcore porn of pacifica northwest and wendy corduroy dumbass how did you not know that, but something about this thread enrages me that i had to call you morons dumbasses

Not all social commentary episodes are bad hunny.

you are a drag queen
The troon fear the old rad fem.
Agree, most episodes of Captain Planet are hilarious.
>Why are social commentary episodes always so cringe?
That one's so bad it's funny. Trying to use the gag a day format to tell a serious story was what birthed the meme.
because nobody turns on the tv looking to watch some after school special
Bump
Because they aren't commentary. They are preaching coming from a place of profound outrage made worse by profound ignorance and a stubborn unwillingness to engage with reality on reality's terms.
It's why you can point out that every mass shooter was known to the FBI, sometimes for years in advance, and certain types of people will still insist that the solution is simply to ban guns, instead of realizing that the people who have the power to prevent tragedies are instead seemingly encouraging them.

>waaaah, cartoon said I shouldn't shoot people with my gun
Do americans really?
People watch cartoons to be entertained. Not to be indoctrinated dumb bullshit. That’s what school is for moron.
The Skeleton Remote episode is especially bad because it felt like it was written by a child. It had no nuance on tbe subject of gun control and seemed to argue that banning all guns everywhere forever was a valid solution to the problem.
plus lots of people having far more dangerous powers than "turn people into skeleton" ruins it too
>people who think alignments in dungeons and dragons suck because they want to be "quirky" which just means chaotic neutral

So, was this episode a satire of gun control PSAs or was it a genuine PSA?
OK KO was cringe in general
