It also feels like over the last decade or so there's been a huge shift away from "let's hire the usual stable of people who can voice like 8 different characters each" to "let's get individual VO's who only play one or maybe two characters tops."

Somebody recently wrote a big paper on the problem of cartoon porn that I feel like this thread might find interesting. https://medium.com/@brazyintheday/kids-tv-has-a-porn-problem-84592d9514fc Thompsons posted:If you want to go far back enough you could argue it really began with Batman: The Animated Series It's probably more from just how things have pivoted towards more serious stories. It's easier for one person to do multiple characters when they're able to do wacky exaggerated voices rather than having to seriously act through a variety of complex emotions. Like the much more wacky OK KO has IanJ doing two main characters and a common recurring character.

I feel like it has some really good examples (Kill La Kill is creepy and awful and definitely does sexualise young girls), but then its criticism of Steven Universe for being too "suggestive" thanks to some of the subtext around fusion and the fact that characters sometimes flirt with one another is really overreaching, and makes the whole thing come off a bit moral panic-y. Also - the repeated suggestion that (textually adult) characters like Ruby, Sapphire and Peridot are equivalent to children because they're small, and therefore scenes where they have romantic tension with other people are too suggestive for kids. That just comes off as really dubious to me, especially since those same scenes are such an important part of the show's groundbreaking record on LGBT representation.

Yeah, the idea that the married couple who predate human civilisation are little kids because they're short is a huge overreach. Same with Peridot. That said, there are some good points in the article, specifically about Studio Yotta associating with creeps. I just think it paints with too wide a brush, and kind of trips over its own feet in the process. I also don't think Rebecca Sugar's weird fanart is really equivalent to porn artists who are pumping out images of cartoon kids for people to masturbate to - I never got that vibe from her old stuff. It always felt like it was meant to be artistic and absurd, rather than a consumable piece of pornography.

I think the only Gem that outright reads as a kid is Aquamarine. Which feels pretty intentional since she's very much Verruca Salt in Gem form. I think saying Peridot "Looks and acts like a child" is pretty ridiculous just because she's short and throws tantrums. I work in a retail job. Do you know how many grown rear end adults I encounter who THROW TANTRUMS? More than the children, y'all

Not going to read the article because I want my medium newsletter to not recommend related articles, but it burns my rear end when people bring up poo poo Rebecca Sugar drew as a teenager. No one does that poo poo for male artists or unprogressive artists, while I've seen chuds bring it up to show her "degeneracy" Fan art and fic is kind of beside the question of analyzing what's published anyway. Too much is made and anyone including kids can make it.

Honestly, I never thought much about the short gems, the most uncomfortable I ever got about Steven Universe was back when every fusing was shown as a highly sexualized event and then the Stevonnie episode happened and all throughout the episode everybody sure is sexually attracted to these two 12-year-olds in a trenchcoat. You're obviously not going to stop all porn artists, but it's a subject worth talking about. The world could use a little less porn art of underaged characters, or at least for people not to be making money off of it.

There’s some good questions buried in there but yeah, the article is reactionary trash that groups a lot of wildly different things together under the banner of child porn regardless of context or creator intent. I’m sorry but Ruby and Saphire are just not Rebecca Sugar doing the 10000 year old sexy anime grade schooler thing and to imply such is loving infuriating.

I was surprised at how knowledgeable the article was about several "big-name" porn artists. It was a well-researched article and its a topic that I think really should be talked about more, especially in the current digital age. The pervasiveness and accessibility of porn in fandoms of shows targeting children really is concerning and a complex issue. And with sex being such a large part of the psyche, I really do think we should be talking more about why people seem so obsessed with sexualising stuff from their childhood or intended for younger ages. It definitely stumbles a bit (I can't see them actually mention KlK, it just seems to comment that its 'questionable' for SU to have had a Trigger artist guest-animate one of the more beautiful moments of the show, which is dumb) but overall its in the right place.

Well that was partially supposed to be uncomfortable. I took the episode as a metaphor for someone going through puberty and suddenly having to deal with people treating them in a sexually-charged way that they aren't really equipped to handle. Stevonnie doesn't even realise Lars and Sadie had the hots for them, they were just happy to get free donuts. They know whats happening with Kevin though. The episode isn't exactly risque and its an important thing to prepare kids for imo.

It's definitely a fairly well researched piece, but it does ring a bit too much like moral panic. Artists art. Drawings of subjects in erotic poses or actions are as old as time. Fictional ones at that. What changed is that the original intent of the fictional characters is now "for children" so the adulteration (so to speak) by others (or even the creators themselves) into situations that might be considered too extreme for children takes on a different context. What I do think needs to be considered is how children are internalizing these things and if it's in a healthy way. Just randomly stumbling onto porn of a cartoon character certainly isn't healthy, but so is accidentally stumbling onto porn in general

I don't understand what you're talking about Rebecca sugar drew ed edd n eddy characters having sex (the article puts some kind of artsy spin on it that I haven't really heard before). The poster I was responding to was upset that rebecca sugar gets dragged through the mud for drawing cartoon porn as a teenager, but Male artists in similar positions never do. I responded that that article specifically brings up the way that many professional, frequently Male cartoon artists got their start drawing cartoon porn before being hired on to make the actual cartoons themselves, and is in fact the context in which rebecca sugar was brought up and is a major theme of the article. What am I missing here? What other thing has rebecca sugar drawn that changes the context of what I've said?

Yeah I’m now questioning how “well researched” this article is. While skimming it I noticed this bit:quote:According to some experts, the potential dangers of children being exposed to porn include depression, social anxiety and self-harm. The underlined part leads not to a study but to a blog post here: https://psychcentral.com/blog/growing-up-too-fast-early-exposure-to-sex/?source=post_page--------------------------- This seems to be the passage the writer got this from: quote:According to Victor Cline, Ph.D., when children are exposed to pornography, arousal is imprinted via epinephrine and can be challenging to obliterate.2 In the case of this now tween-aged girl, she finds it compelling and wants to learn more. Her parents and therapy team are working together to foster age appropriate curiosity and warning of the dangers. These include: This is purely anecdotal and no studies are cited. I buy that a couple of these points are plausible but the inclusion of things like harming others and suicidal ideation seem pretty extreme for casual pornography viewing and make me call the whole article into question. I just don’t buy the idea that just looking at people loving can make you a suicidal sex maniac and the article offers no real proof to back it up. Also no, the study that blog post linked doesn’t back up their point either: quote:Abstract This is a 3 page online survey that looks at age of exposure and initial reactions. It doesn’t actually establish any sort of causation with other negative behaviors. I’m tempted to do a deep dive and really dig into the article’s sources... but on the other hand the subject matter is gross and I really don’t want to. Maybe if I’m bored and have nothing better to do tomorrow. Disclaimer: I am not defending showing children porn or child pornography. Both of those things can gently caress right off. My concern is that this is a poorly researched article that may me coming from a much more regressive place than the author is letting on. Hyperbolic claims and poor research are big red flags in this respect.

I agree that artists creating porn of fictional children are uncomfortably buddy-buddy with staff on kids' cartoons. I don't agree with - in fact, I'm pretty offended by - the assertion that neuroatypical people are intrinsically too childlike and innocent to explore sex and relationships. I'm an autistic adult and I'm fully capable of informed, consensual sexual activity.

One of the rubs is that there's a lot of crossover between people who draw for kids' cartoons and people who create porn of kids' cartoons. In a number of cases, it's how they basically became known since the more popular artists basically honed their skills doing that and likely shared the same artist networks.

Rumor has it that Julia Vickerman was a massive pain in the rear end to work for, but whenever I start looking in to those rumors I get redirected to something someone posted on 4chan and I don't view the website that gave us QAnon as a reliable source of information so who knows what happened. Also, according to that trailer, the show drops today so if anyone wants to fill me in on whether or not it's any good, be my guest.

Current rumors claim personal misconduct from Vickerman being the reason the show was quickly wrapped up and dumped. She was apparently replaced and there are court documents floating around showing the production company was sued over mishandling the situation, so the outlook definitely doesn’t look good, /co/ rumors or not. It would certainly explain how quiet everyone involved has been on social media, except for the apparent replacement showrunner. Either way a second season’s definitely off the table. Earlier rumors suggested that a very complicated set of circumstances involving contractual obligations were the reason Netflix begrudgingly picked up the show to begin with.

So I started watching Scooby Doo and Guess Who. While I admire their commitment to recreating the aesthetic of the original show, I think they took it too far, particularly with the voice acting. I can only picture the director telling the cast “no! More stilted! More wooden! I want the audience to hear the recording booth around you!” It’s a shame because I know from the VAs’ other work how talented they are. I’m also not sure who exactly benefits from the 70’s throwback animation. Kids won’t get the joke and adults will get bored. Maybe I was just spoiled by Mystery Incorporated.

Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? looks like it's meant to be made as cheaply as possible. All of the voice actors that aren't the guest stars are the same for every episode. This is probably to afford the celebrities though.
