You know in retrospect it seems like an incredibly poor choice to have the monkey girl be a black-coded character with a black voice actress.

She’s just upset because she knows Arthur is perfect and there’s nothing she can make fun of on him except for his comically oversized penis. :shrug:

She could cut his face off and then cut his cock off and shove it in his mouth like they did to your dad back in Vietnam :shrug::shrug::shrug:

Why does everyone know so much about Arthur? Even when I was a kid it was the boring nerd show. Now Eurekas Castle, there's a show worth remembering.

I'm pretty sure that Arthur was between two shows that I liked and I just didn't care enough to change the channel.

As far as Eureka's Castle goes, it got canceled when I was like three so I didn't have a chance to like it.

Doug was worse

Some truly insidious social programming in that poo poo

I remember that episode where Doug got in trouble for drawing a cartoon how he hated the cafeteria's "magic meat," and I assumed the moral of the episode was not to be mean and hurt other people's feelings, and then it ended with Doug emphatically declaring "But I hate magic meat!" to Vice Principal Boner. It blew my mind.

someone on the Brain talk page of the arthur fan wiki got big caremad over the idea that the character is canonically black despite his family celebrating kwanzaa and him having a cousin from Senegal

quote:

Actually, the Brain is not African-American, and nor are his parents or relatives. They do however celebrate Kwanzaa, but that does not mean they're African-American. And for his mother Mrs. Powers, her pale complexion and natural blonde hair since the second half of Season 2, can prove she is obviously not African-American, but looks rather caucasian. In fact, the Brain and his parents actually sound quite caucasian, and they look more caucasian, and they have always been voiced by caucasian voiceovers. Saying that the Powerses are African-American is actually an opinion, not a fact. --FrancineFan3883

Arthur is an aardvark which is indigenous to africa. Arthur's black even though the show doesn't want to admit it.

It's not like I MEANT to, it just happened. Is it okay in 2020 to assume that a dark-skinned/-furred character with African relatives who celebrates Kwanzaa is Black? I mean, drat.

Yeah Aarthur isn't in a total fantasy world, it's just our world but with animal people. The very existence of Kwanzaa is evidence that irl ethnicity exists there

Sort of like Cars pope and Cars WW2 have some very odd implications

Arthur is mapped onto our world because it was created as a way to entertain and educate children about our world, so it's not weird at all that the animals have the same construction of race and ethnicity we do.

Cars having a pope is the opposite thing. They made a movie about anthropomorphic cars cause it is fun for children makes money, and then they said, "hey, wouldn't it be funny if cars had a poep too" or whatever.

how does the Cars history work? like did they descend from horse buggies, or was there autoautomobilgenesis occurring sometime in the 19th century?
