The thing about the TADC copypasta is that you really can just use it for fucking anything. On account of it being one of the dumbest anti-criticism sentiments ever made.
ANYTHING could be deep if you pretend it's deep enough! ANYTHING could be niche if you pretend it is! ANY plot hole can be justified if you pretend it was intentional!
By this logic Teen Titans Go is a genuine commentary on how people take cartoons too seriously to the point that it's detrimental to the cartoon characters themselves! Rocket Monkeys is a thinkpiece about scat fetishism and how you can slip anything into a kids' show with little pushback until it's far too late! Bratz Babies is about the beautification of literal infants and how kids should be allowed to just be kids but rarely ever are, especially when they're girls! ANYTHING CAN BE ABOUT ANYTHING!!! IT IS THAT DEEP!!! BECAUSE I'VE DECIDED IT! RIGHT NOW!!
Thomas and Friends: All Engines Go’s biggest problem is that it was written to be a niche preschool cartoon aimed at weird analytical queer toddlers with actual media literacy and it accidentally blew tf up and hit the mainstream and a bunch of longtime fans- i mean people who have never had a second thought about anything got into it
Making one more post about this stupid thing so I can finally stop talking about it - to clarify, all my recent posts about the casts’ harassment have been in no way trying to downplay anything that actually happened on that livestream. The whole ‘seven years’ thing I’ve brought up because I (at least certainly want to believe) they’ve had time to grow and become better people, not that the ‘two white people joke about a racial slur’ thing was anywhere near acceptable in the first place and people trying to say everyone’s too sensitive nowadays and we aren’t allowed to have fun anymore or whatever are fucking stupid. Listen to black voices and listen to the people getting actual racist harassment over this thing for voicing their disappointment. Michael and Ashley’s apologies aren’t ours to accept. When I’ve been referring to this situation I’m only referring to UTTP and the UTTP-adjacent dumbfucks who certainly don’t give a shit about any of the actual harm that was caused and only saw this situation as on opportunity to send death threats and doxxing to the cast of a show they find cringe and gay. (I’ve also only been fed the information on this situation up til very recently on the scarce discord post and instagram content farms, so I had no idea how severe the racial harassment was, and I apologize profusely for that.) I’ll shut my white ass up now.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR TADC EPISODE 9, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK
If the "Isn't She Lovely" scene in TADC episode 9 was meant to be some kind of apology to black fans...
Yeah, apology NOT accepted. TADCritical is practically seething for a very justified reason
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
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.
I said I’d wait until the finale of The Amazing Digital Circus came out to post my full review, but I decided to go ahead and post it now anyways. Spoilers for the finale of TADC under the cut.
Episode eight already had me uneasy after Jax basically got off with no consequences for his actions, so I was waiting to see if the finale would redeem it or let me down. I generally try to wait until a piece of media is complete before judging it, but I was already having doubts about the finale. Spoilers: it let me down. Here are my thoughts on it:
Jax’s abstraction practically came out of nowhere with so little buildup I literally thought it was a previously abstracted character who emerged from the cellar that was onscreen and not Jax. I thought we would finally get to see how abstraction occurred on screen but nope. The whole abstraction has practically no build up and just serves as a way for Jax to dodge consequences for his actions and sets up a pity party about him.
Jax continued to be an abusive asshole to everyone until the very end. Even in his own mind Jax is an abusive asshole to everyone. And the scene where he basically fantasizes that Gangle likes his abuse and wants to sleep with him was utterly disgusting, and that’s before his casual queerphobic jokes towards Zooble and him assaulting Pomni! And all for a disgusting pity party of a narrative about how we should pity an abuser who’s the architect of his own and everyone else’s misery because he’s sad and suffered (as if the same isn’t true for every other member of the cast). It’s Catra all over again and I hate it.
Ribbit literally only existed to be a sad backstory for Jax. She got one scene about her backstory and it’s mostly to serve as a way for Jax to open up about his. The rest of her scenes are just Jax abusing her because of trust issues, Ribbit isn’t allowed to exist on her own, and the whole time the narrative weight is on Jax’s regrets. Ribbit isn’t a character, all she exists to do is serve Jax’s character and story, she could literally have been replaced with a frog-themed lamp Jax was sad that he broke. We also got practically nothing on Kaufmo, so even more disappointment there.
Jax’s sad backstory is vague cliched tripe about abusive parents that is told instead of shown, and once again it’s all about him and not the people that he’s hurt. For crying out loud he basically said he injured and left his mother for dead and the narrative wants us to sympathize with him and think he did nothing wrong! He literally injured his mother and probably left her to die! And it really feels like he “missing missing reasons’d” his own backstory (just google the phrase and you’ll see what I mean, but tldr it feels like he kept certain details vague (for example, what did he actually say to his mother that he really regretted) so he could make himself look more innocent). And to end that scene with Jax basically threatening Ribbit into secrecy before saying it was all a lie and then pushing Ribbit down the path to abstraction, it just makes me hate Jax more. Honestly I’d be glad he’s gone, but the narrative expects us to feel bad about him so I can’t even have that!
The reveal that Caine was still alive also came out of nowhere and made no sense. I thought he was completely deleted but I guess not! Episode eight was a good end to him (well good enough for this show), but somehow Caine returned I guess we need him back for vague pretentious scenes. What was the blue thing in him that made him antagonistic? What is the deal with the talking moon that only existed as a gag beforehand? Why didn’t he try looking at the cast’s brain scans and social media before to see what they liked, what was stopping him before? And he’s practically instantly forgiven with minimal pushback on Zooble’s part, everyone instantly forgives him even though the cast has no reason to trust or forgive him. And why didn’t Kinger and Caine have any reactions to each other, despite Kinger being Caine’s creator?!
The whole scene where Caine apologizes by basically going “you’re all basically copies and the real people you’re based on are happy in the real world” and the cast is all happy with this. That wouldn’t make me feel better at all! Knowing that you’re just a simulacrum living in a digital psychological hell with no way out while the real you is living the life you never had but always wanted, that’s not reassuring that’s horrifying!
And then the cast rejects their real names and identities for their virtual ones, and they all lived happily ever after in the digital world. Where have I seen this before? Oh god it’s Ready Player Two all over again! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, one of the greatest sins you can commit as a writer is reminding me of the works of Ernest Cline. And nothing is done to help the abstracted people, the only difference is that now they writhe in suffering on the surface rather than in the cellar, but they sure do look pretty in their agony!
And we don’t even get any answers to the most critical questions of the story! When, where, why and how did the characters get their brains scanned?! What is C+A?! Why was the circus created, what is its purpose and why is it like this?! No answers. Nothing. No satisfaction. The whole show feels pointless at best. Ordinarily when I find myself hating a piece of media there’s at least something good that I can take from it or say about it, but TADC, nothing, I’m left with nothing but disappointment if not outright anger that I ever got interested in it.
elmo thinks human lives are more important than your soda drink. elmo is very sad that even though you know the harm coca cola and other major soda companies inflict, you continue to support the brand for the convenience. elmo doesn’t think that’s very nice of you!
elmo also can’t afford the fancy organic brands, so elmo just drinks water! its a very healthy and yummy replacement, and it doesn’t taste like genocide! (:
"Back in MY day, we didn't call them 'crashouts'! We called them 'Rage Breaking Points' like the respectable TV Tropers we were!"
apparently media criticism automatically = misunderstanding the point of the author now! and calling out racism = harassment, defamation and overreacting lol. love that for us in 2026; you get a free pass for shitty behavior because [insert identity label here] and you're an "indie" creator so you can do no wrong
FLY is a story about a boy who gets a second chance. Help his story take flight June 9th 11am EST on Kickstarter. Thank you for being the wind beneath my wings I hope this story lifts the world to a brighter place.
A coming of age story about Black kids who finally have power to fight back against systems designed against them.
NO TADC fandom, I refuse to believe that the violently abusive misogynist, who actively fantasizes about sexually assaulting a vulnerable mentally ill woman, commits suicide, gets put in a collar and leash to serve as the lobomized dog of the rest of the cast, and is living happily in another life as a cis man is actually a secret trans woman. What is wrong with Glitch.
Edit; The Jax stans are out in full force telling me to kill myself in the asks and messages. Y'all really are desperate to be your precious stupid purple bunny. Block me if I piss you off, but this behavior is pathetic. My asks and DM's are gonna be closed til July.
Bullies and harrassers when you ignore their bullshit:
(Oh, they're not gonna do anything when I basically abuse them? Oh well, guess I can keep doing it without any external pushback)
Bullies and harrassers when you call out their bullshit:
OH MY GOD BRO FELL FOR IT AHAHAHAHA IT'S JUST RAGEBAIT BRO WHY ARE YOU GETTING SO EMOTIONAL HAHAHA DON'T YOU KNOW HAVING HUMAN REACTIONS AND EXPRESSING NEGATIVE EMOTIONS AFTER BEING TREATED BADLY IS SO FUCKING HILARIOUS AHAHAHA
WARNING FOR CONTAINING TADC EP 9 SPOILERS!!!
I can't find the og post, but I don't really get the sentiment of "Digital Circus' biggest mistake was that it was written as a niche show" like... Shouldn't that mean that it should have a really, REALLY good narrative nonetheless? So that it's a piece of hidden gem that you should share with your friends because it's THAT good?
Hate to break it to ya, but TADC being written as a "niche show that went mainstream accidentally" won't save it from the amount of plot holes, character assassinations, and messaging inconsistencies it has.
Maybe this could've been prevented if Goose kept her mouth shut about answering certain parts of the cast, but still. The finale ruined every episode with a meaningful message in it, and I'll list it down:
"The worst thing you can do in this world is make anyone feel unwanted or unloved", and "I don't want anyone to feel that way"
Caine was made to feel this way by Pomni and friends and wasn't given an apology (double empathy problemmmmm)
" Accept the good and bad parts of you"
Caine ripped out the bad part of himself
"Relationships are a two-way street"
apparently not because Jax still had Pomni and friends.
Not to mention, there's no effort of understanding Caine by the humans' end.
Ragatha barely gets any form of comfort either, before it shifts to another person. Ragatha ALWAYS has to be the one to comfort someone
"Caine is an AI who does not understand humans"
He was torturing them willingly and not willingly at the same time? And welp, guess he just needed the internet and to rip out the blue AI, in order to be perfectly capable of understanding them
The humans are very hypocritical and do not get to change their ways. The circus remains the way it is, the only one who truly changed is Caine. This isn't "finding meaning in a stagnant life", this is "compromising until you've stripped away half of what you are in order to make people accept you"
God, I look like I'm glazing Caine so much, even though I'm trying so hard not to. But everything this show tried to do with Jax, worked a lot better with Caine because of how Goose set the character narrative up to be-- but even with Caine's redemption, it's so lackluster and unsatisfying.
There are so many contradictory moments in this show that it ends up being a clusterfuck of a narrative conclusion that didn't have enough time and effort to properly straighten out the kinks of what potential contradictions the messaging may have
Just to be clear, I never try to excuse Tenna's actions. He did some pretty bad stuff and should be held accountable for it (which he does, his employees leave him and he gets called out for his bs). My main problem is usually just certain interpretations making him out to be worse than he actually is but I'm not here to dictate how people see a character and hey, maybe Chapter 5 will prove that I'm wrong about my interpretation, who knows. I know some of my takes I've written were wrong. I just, personally, feel like it's far more nuanced if there wasn't a "bad guy" but just that the characters had hurt each other equally, whether intentionally or not.
But my biggest gripe is definitely when people just decide to dismiss Tenna's entire character arc, as well as significance to the story, and be like "actually, he deserved to get cleaved", HUH?! I'm sorry but any interpretation where Tenna "deserves" to be cleaved is just, missing the whole point of the story??
