It wasn't a gender swap because they weren't the same characters and it was also not 'real'.

No they were all made up characters and gender swap would mean it's Finn who's now a girl which wasn't what the episode was at all. But please let's argue about this. And also I think Price Gumball was gay, I mean hello they got NPH to voice him. e: Just for clarification the Futurama episodes Bend Her and Neutopia are gender swap episodes of something.

Dude I've read the entire thread, I get what the argument for that episode is and I disagree with it but I wasn't even talking about that in the first place. I wasn't making a semantic argument, a gender swap episode deals with perceived gender norms and they're fish out of water stories about seeing how the other half lives. Both episodes that I went back and mentioned in my other post deal with this. That isn't what the Fionna and Cake episode was about, no one learned a lesson about gender in the end and it turns out the whole thing was just a crazy made up story anyway so any point that it might have made goes out the window. But that's the last I'm saying about it because I don't care to discuss the issue any more, I just didn't want you to think being a jerk scared me away.

You know, I've been re-watching a lot of the older episodes, and I think the one that stands out is the one with movie night. They don't pour all the time on one character, which can get a little boring, so they string in a heap of the secondary characters instead. I liked the allusion to the time before the Mushroom War, and just seeing the citizens casually doing strange things like balancing an apple over someone's mouth or rolling coins across a stone wall. It's perfect. Nnnnncheck please!

Anyone else think it's a little ridiculous someone got fired over that stupid video? It was obviously attempting to fuel some fire, but come on, it's only become such an unending issue because the more obsessive fans will not shut the gently caress up about it. Which, granted, the company and staff member in question should've expected because when has a fandom not had this underside, but still, drat. Don't approach the situation as if the person who flubbed up is also masquerading as every idiot getting sanctimonious about their shipping validity.

I can't believe some poor bastard got the sack over this. Well, sadly I can. They went off message, no matter how innocently, and the money people don't like that kind of thing at all. I never saw the Mathematical video, it was pulled before I even saw the episode, but from the reactions I saw in the thread, it seemed like all they did was make some joking passing comment about Marceline and Bubblegum having gone out. Was that it or is there more that I'm missing?

What's really stupid about the controversy is that, as far as I can remember, no one from AT even said that the characters weren't gay. They said that the Mathematical video took it too far and used too racy of fanart (because come on, the show's for kids, don't have your official marketing company encourage shippers and show sexy fanart of the characters), but Muto never said "the Mathematical video hinted the characters were gay when they're not." He just said that it was over-the-top and that they intended the scene to be ambiguous. The response from the AT team hasn't been homophobic at all, they've just been upset that their marketing people were doing stuff directed towards the worst part of their fanbase.

moss piglet posted:Hahaha Isn't that like a completely subjective opinion or something? Here, have my subjective opinion: I haven't been able to get the songs out of my head for the past five days, so that should tell you something about how catchy they are. I thought it was a great character study that let two characters we don't normally see together get some face time.

Yeah, it was pretty obviously a good episode, the songs were very catchy and well-done, especially the first. There were a bunch of good jokes, but not every episode can have Party God moments, or they would get stale. It was incredibly great.

It's all a matter of taste. I thought it was just alright, but I'm also incapable of hating and Adventure Time episode. I thought the songs were mixed with Marceline's being the best but int general I just couldn't get into the friendship magic thing. It makes me roll my eyes in JRPGs and it makes me roll my eyes here. As mentioned it was also not that funny. Sure there was character development, but it was very slight at best. Basically "Marceline and PB don't like each other got expanded to "Marceline and PB don't like each other, but they used to hang out". It wasn't really enough to make up for the episode's shortcomings. Once again, not bad, but also not obviously good.

To be fair, this isn't really quite people freaking out because these characters aren't gay. They're freaking out because it was slightly implied by an official source they might be gay and then that video was immediately taken down and the person that came up with the video was fired. They aren't freaking out because the characters aren't gay, they're freaking out because the idea that the characters might be gay is being treated like it's that this bad thing. I'm not saying that I care or that the amount of mouth-frothing was justified, but it's just not the same thing.
