The fact that the TADC finale is releasing on yt on Juneteenth is so telling. Oh? The creator of this show is a racist neonazi? SHHHH lets post it on this day made for BLACK PEOPLE, despite being racist to them and the fandom calling said racism "nothing burgers"!!! Mhm!!! Great decision chat!! Good for you. If i see ANYONE say sum "Its tadc day guys!!111" on juneteenth im gonna tweak the fuck out.
...I just realized that tadc releases it's finale on YT on Juneteenth.
I just realized Glitch and Goose are going to put out an episode where they use a blind black man's song about his daughter in context of pity partying an abusive character while the song is covered by white Thai anti-woke lolicon enjoying singer...
ON JUNETEENTH
Bruh that's... That's bad
i’m saying this as someone who actually really enjoyed the amazing digital circus up until the more recent episodes, so no i’m not just “some salty hater” or whatever. anyways. black people are more important than the mid circus show written by a nazi. and i know i’m probably swinging a bat at a hornets nest here because “fandom culture” especially here on tumblr is just an excuse to let racists (and pedophiles for that matter) have a safe space to be awful, but it needs to be said. fandom spaces are extremely hostile towards people of color and that’s a problem that matters far more than seeing the ending of the jax and playthings show. block me if you disagree, my blog is not and will never be a safe space for racists.
"B-but the song can have different interpretations" Oh my god bro, turning a song about a father showing his love for his daughter by dedicating a song for her and turning it into a romantic funnybunny song is not even an interpretation.
It's flat out taking a song and twisting it's message into something else to fit your narrative.
Given today's context I do NOT like it when machines or even worse AIs are written to be empathetic in media.
We already have a millions companies up our ass trying to convince us that they're "extremely necessary tools!" And now you're trying to make it seem like the machine actually has feelings and original thoughts that have to be considered as if a human had made them????
the music choice was probably locked in long before people started criticizing the VA's for joking about the abbreviation of negative sounding like the N-Word.
there are a few details this anon is missing in their defense of “isn’t she lovely.”
glitch, goose, and some of the vas already had racist pasts online for anyone to see. there was that video of michael kovach (jax) repeatedly using the n-word in a rap skit. sean chiplock (kinger) had multiple tweets blatantly using the n-word. even if the “nega” stream never recirculated, nothing changes. goose knowingly collaborated with people who have documented anti-black history, selected a black song about black fatherhood—inherently black art—and redefined it for her white queer story.
this happens to every facet of black culture. take the product, leave the people.
look at k-pop for instance. they use grills, braids, aave, locs, trap beats, and hip hop, then continuously exhibit anti-black behavior.
labeling our upset as an “i love pancakes, so you hate waffles" take is disingenuous. this suggests you think this is black people getting frustrated at a boogeyman we made up. but that’s not it at all. we’re calling out the whitewashing of black media that is blatantly happening in front of our eyes. we’re calling out gentrification.
you know what? let me put this in a way white queers will understand.
let’s say a lesbian musician wrote a heartfelt wlw song about her wife. it’s very personable, and even features her name in the lyrics. a director with a homophobic past uses that song as the background track to a straight couple kissing in his movie. the fandom then brands the song as that straight couple’s song. any gay person who talks about how the director misused the artist’s song gets told to shut up because songs have many different meanings, and there’s nothing wrong with a homophobic director taking a lesbian’s love song, and applying it to a straight couple. in fact, it’s beautiful sentiment and anyone uncomfortable with the situation is an old man yelling at clouds.
do we see the issue here?
i couldnt have put it better! thank you so much. i didnt really understand exactly what they meant by the waffles and pancakes comment, it seemed to have nothing to do with what i was saying like. at all.
again thanks so much, i truly could not have said it better
I'll be reblogging them individually in a sec but. A bunch of white people constantly saying "nega" and laughing hysterically at it for your viewing pleasure.

"Isn't She Lovely" is very explicitly a song about Black joy, specifically the joy of Black parenthood. Stevie Wonder's first daughter, whose birth the song is about, is named Aisha, which means "joy". If you need the evidence any clearer, the opening of the song features a newborn's cries, and in the extended version there's a long instrumental section over audio of Stevie giving Aisha a bath.
It doesn't surprise me that "Isn't She Lovely" was used as a coming-out allegory— transitioning can definitely feel like a sort of rebirth— but it saddens me that it was at the expense of the song's Black core. Considering Goose and her track record, this was likely a fully conscious decision and not simply an ignorant misstep.
I feel like the whole "isn't she lovely" song being used just feels even worse when you consider the fact that they literally have people who create music on the crew. They did not have to take that song to use for the damn funnybunny flashback montage.
Or hell, even if they did want to use a song they didn't create for the montage they literally had a million other songs to choose from, even if excluding songs that have no lyrics. Like, why not some shit like hidden in the sand for example, that feels like it'd be more thematically fitting without just flat out taking a song about a black man's daughter and twisting the meaning to fit the abuse ship! or hell even just a lyricless song associated with the whole weirdcore aesthetic the series has going on? They had a million other options, it feels like it was absolutely a conscious choice with all the drama rather than just an unfortunate coincidental pick.
I was also surprised to see they didn’t make a special Jax song. Caine’s song was so far removed from the show’s writing I felt like the least they could’ve done was leaned into the songwriting a little more and really vent.
But they don’t have the tools to convey the emotions they want to portray. Again…look at Caine’s song. They’re the most literal lyrics I’ve ever heard, redundancies everywhere, and nothing about the melody itself was truly compelling. They’ve spent so long writing Caine as this “silly little guy” that the switch up just pissed me off.
Back to the point, they couldn’t conjure that emotion themselves so they had to take from something else. It was a terrible job too! The song doesn’t even match the scenes, and there’s no irony! I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d had this song laid out for a while, as most of TADC’s writing to me felt very out of order, as if they thought of scenes before they thought of plots.
I'm gonna post actual content pretty soon, I have a life outside of this hellsite, but
I swear to God, Gooseworx and Vivziepop could just straight up KILL A GUY (not even abuse them, just KILL THEM OUTRIGHT), and their mindless criticism-blind defenders will still be pulling the exact same excuses
(sarcastic "enchanted voice") I can already see the Reddit and YouTube comments now...
"OMG it's been SOOOOO LONG THOOOO it's only been 2 days!!! they could've changed in 2 days!!!"
"Well it was his/her fault for being near them anyway! It was the murdered person's fault for ~harassing~ the poor innocent victims by breathing in their direction!"
"They're just two little babies 🥺🥺🥺🥺they're just a few thirtyteen year old infants 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 how could the poor little embryos possibly have realized they were doing something wrong🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺"
"GAWD your so PRFORMATIVE why do u care so much u didn t even know the person they murdered!!!! becuase as we all know you can't have empathy for other people who are going through heinous stuff becuase you didnt go through it personally which is why i support isreal, OBVIOUSLY"
"Oh my god this is just a distraction from the last act!!! your trying to overshadow the movie and that's bad!!! also i can excuse racism and misogyny and potentially GROOMING (TW FOR SEXUAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN AN ADULT AND A MINOR. – @tadc-crit on Tumblr) but i draw the line at spoilers!!!"
"WAAAAAAAH BUT THEYRE INDIEEEEEEEE THEYRE INDIE SO THEY CANT DO ANYTHING WRONG EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE PARTNERING WITH MULTIMILLION DOLLAR CORPORATIONS LIKE NETFLIX AND AMAZON BUT HTEYRE INDIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE AAHGSYDHGSCJDSHGCBDH"
Literally the exact same bullshit every single time with these people, it's exhausting.
"This controversy is just an overblown nothing burger! Poor goose her fandom is so horribke too her!"
tadc fans after flooding the comments on a song about a black father loving his daughter with a misogynistic purple rabbit made by a racist
Regardless of what you think of the N-word jokes controversy, TADC using a song by a Black singer ("Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder) by having it be covered by a non-Black man with strong "anti-woke" ties (JobbytheHong) was... Well, that was certainly a choice.
Just... Make of that what you will. No further comment.
