My post was sarcastic, but I have seen two episodes of Spongbab and it was what it was. I couldn't make sense of anything going on. Granted, I was watching it while visiting my middle/high school friend I haven't seen in years and he was on the phone while I was in the living room waiting and watching with his two elementary school-aged kids.

Pro tip: Hanging out with a divorced dad of two is depressing as hell.

Like, I wouldn't go back and rewatch more than one or two episodes, or watch Steven Universe, because they're kids cartoons, but me and all my millenial friends have several episodes loving memorized and there were some really funny parts in the early seasons.

I was hanging out with a friend who has a wife and a kid who was four or so at the time. We wanted to go to some store but he was concerned that if we went with the kid without his wife people would think we were gay. I convinced him to go and it turned out lots of people thought we made a lovely family. I hope things turn around for your buddy.

Caught my first ten minutes of SU on the ol' cartoon network today, it seemed really weak and feeble. It seemed like having a very wimpy mind and body would be a prerequisite for enjoying the show. I would rate it as being sissier than My Little Pony Friendship Is MAgic. That's my review, thank you for reading.

edit: I can appreciate the concept of a western harem anime with gem themed pokemon-girlfriends however.

Again if we follow that rule about not projecting sexuality onto a children cartoon, We dont have to worry about the gender of a boy and a girl making a bigger stronger body.

Can someone more intune with these topics explain how this show virtue signals to its fans?

We have Bojack horseman, Venture brothers, Rick and Morty. that all address dark depressing sexy themes. But yet this show really grabs a certain group.

Also the only cartoon I even look at with a sexual context is FLCL.

I mean I get that teaching children "Just because someone is different doesn't mean they're bad" in a children's cartoon is a good thing. But adults who should already have learned that lesson turning that cartoon into an overly sexualized fetish cult is pretty goddamn gross, and that's before they show up to wallow in it.

where did we fail as a society

When we started letting broken people who draw cartoon pornography helm children's shows. This is all Animated Batman's fault

I say reactivate dachau and fill it with Stephen Universe fans and bronies, then we can argue over who goes to the back of the ovens instead

I'm pretty sure one of the writers acknowledged that harem anime was an influence. Usually harem anime is about a guy going around solving problems for a bunch of girls and being rewarded by them lusting over him. Sometimes the girls have magical powers. Steven Universe is basically that but it does away with the reward, makes the problems more about being emotionally broken and the women all significantly older and more lesbian than the main protagonist.

So why is it that the same people who constantly whine about people being mean to them for "liking things" are also the first ones to jump in and say "no no no not liking thing is WRONG". And then proceed to be extremely annoying and pushy.

Because people who perceive themselves as having been bullied are normally massive jackasses who don't realize they were being ostracized for a reason and lack the level of introspection needed to correct that behavior and instead play the victim card before proving that the aggressors were right in their behavior towards them
