Within the context of the show, though, Pokemon are portrayed as fully sentient beings that consent to the arrangement. Even with the bad guys, Meowth, Koffing, and Ekans, they're fully on board with Jesse and James' plans.

Koffing and Ekans are shown in their focus episode to be dumb as poo poo, mind. Though Team Rocket tends to gradually acquire Pokemon that are both increasingly comically poorly behaved and clearly thoroughly enjoying their whole incompetent supervillain thing. While treating your Pokemon well and equitably is a theme both in the anime and games. (Where the ones advocating seperation are usually shown as in the wrong because they plan to apply the rules to everyone else) Ash in particular tends to have his most loyal Pokemon be ones who basically actively chose to join up with him.

Though Detective Pikachu the movie does have some interesting subtext in that the protagonist is a lot more comfortable treating Pokemon as equals than as subordinates, probably one of the reasons that Mewtwo takes a liking to him.

This is pretty much just like saying water is wet, but I'd imagine that's very much an intentional thing on Ellen's part. Be really nice to and around people who you view as equals, and then treat your inferiors like poo poo.

I very much believe all these celebrities that say Ellen was always sweet to them and that they never saw her do a single thing bad. But that stuff isn't the issue, the issue is how she acted when celebrities weren't around and there's a lot of evidence that suggests she acted VERY poorly.

It's extremely telling if someone's peers and superiors have a high opinion of them while their subordinates and service staff have a wildly different view. People really do show their true colors in the way they treat people they have power over.

Yeah, that pretty much the center of most of the stories, that Ellen is incredibly ingratiating to all of her celebrity guests to the detriment of her staff. Holding up taping for 3-4 hours, spending an extra few hours taping because a celebrity music performance isn't coming together right.

Like, on one hand if they can make it... good? ... then I guess it'd be cool to try and rehabilitate those characters and remove John K from them entirely, because I miss being able to enjoy Ren & Stimpy. But you can't really do that without also rehabilitating John K's image and that's really not good, like we don't need the world to think a pedophile is a cool guy and gloss over the horrible poo poo he's done. I mean, again.

they may have fired him for the wrong reason that does not change the fact that here in 2020 we know he was a pedophile and should probably not work in animation on a studio level

he's also not made anything good in the last 2 decades anyways, and that includes a Ren and Stimpy show that sucked hot rear end

John K isn't anywhere near the new Ren and Stimpy, and isn't even collecting a check for it.

I kind of suspect this is a direct response to those allegations, and a way to try and take the legacy of the show away from him. In that case, I can't get mad. He was honestly a lot less involved with it in the first place than popular memory would make you think; something like two thirds of the show was made without him, and Adult Party Cartoon is only remembered at all as a loving nightmare.

Adult Party Cartoon revealed to everybody that 95% of what we loved about Ren & Stimpy was the result of the other collaborators, writers and animators of the show and not John K himself. They reigned him in, and when nobody is there to tell him "no" you get Adult Party Cartoon.

quote:

Louis C.K. Makes Surprise Appearance at Dave Chappelle's Summer Camp Comedy Show

Dave's material, dealing more and more with "cancel culture," has become more and more self-fellating and gotten into the mode of "actually, having rear end in a top hat opinions is speaking truth to power"

I guess my take generally is all these male comic boy's clubbers who venerate Carlin forgot that Carlin didn't do it for the adoration and for that matter his standup material fell off a cliff after he got old and crotchety
