Reply to comment by Iamwallpaper in What are some shows that were advertised to one demographic, but became successful outside of the target demographic? by blqckwidow
That's just weird ngl.

It didn’t start out weird. It actually started out really wholesome where some critic bashed the show and said everything about it was awful even making false claims that the show was racist, and then a bunch of dudes who would normally hate girls’ cartoons checked it out and were like actually this is a good show, we’ve decided to defend it against people who hate it for no reason.

It got more wholesome over time, it started out on 4chan

Oddly if I recall right it it did start out as wholesome even on 4chan for the most part. Because "ironic" humor of people like them enjoying the show was still big at the time.

It was weird, but I miss the positivity from those times. I got to take a break from cynicism for like 2 years, and not alone, but with a bunch of other weirdos.

It won't do you any good, but whatever.

Sooo many people didn't get this, I feel for you bro.

Thanks...
I know that making a joke doesn't always come across in written text without my stupid grin, but I thought this would've been obvious...

I thought it was pretty obvious too but I keep forgetting to remember that the average person is dumb as fuck, and half of all people are dumber that that.

Try Stargate

Give it a try. It's cute, funny, and has some great messages. I've only seen a few episodes but it's really nice that a show that teaches important lessons on friendship and health is available to all ages. Especially when some of those lessons are things you wouldn't pick up until a teenager or young adult.
frenin t1_j6hb2ef wrote
No.
EsquilaxM t1_j6hcjkb wrote
Ok. Just doesn't seem fair to call it weird. (Unless you're referring to some of the more sexual parts of the fandom)
Grey_wolf_whenever t1_j6ishce wrote
that is a massive part of why that fandom is seen as weird
Solidsnakeerection t1_j6omyct wrote
That is a minor part of the fandom that is common with any kid show
traceitalian t1_j6hepiv wrote
My daughter tried watching it and even in comparison to her other shows the writing was bad and the characters lacked any depth or nuance. It's a kids show, yeah I understand but there's other shows aimed at the same audience that aren't as terrible
Solidsnakeerection t1_j6on3vb wrote
It took about a season to find its legs but thinning the characters lack depth is simply a sign of not playing attention.
traceitalian t1_j6oobjk wrote
It's a kids show and not a good one, it doesn't hold a candle to comparable television.
Solidsnakeerection t1_j6oqlhl wrote
That isnt true. What do your base that off of? Its better then most shows
traceitalian t1_j6oqzcd wrote
The writing, the characters and the storylines.
Solidsnakeerection t1_j6orx2a wrote
How much did you watch and what issues did you have with it?

So you're saying you should watch it if you're an emotionally stunted weirdo? Gotcha.

So? Still is the most accurate answer for this thread weird or not.
