If Teen Titans Go plays instead of Steven Universe tonight

[gem--glow]

not gonna lie teen titans go does have funny moments and is very self aware sometimes but it feels like the writers are being held at gunpoint to keep making butt jokes

[titans-confessions]

“ I don't like TTG. Not because of the characters, but because of how problematic it is. Abuse is often shown as funny. They lightened cyborg's skin to make him a light-hearted character, they make jokes about people with voices in their heads, and the characters appropriate cultures in various episodes. Is this what we want to show to children as funny? Abuse, Ableism, racism, and appropriation? It's disgusting. ”

Some TTG hater, one of many: Teen Titans Go! is a joke!

Me: yeah.

Me: It is.

Me: That's the point.

Me: That's what the creators were actually fucking going for.

Me: Glad you see that now.

[titans-confessions]

“ I don't hate TTG because it's not a continuation of the original or even because it's aimed toward a younger audience. I hate it because it took the amazing characters that taught me so much about life and friendship and so many other things have all been reduced to perverted versions of themselves. Young kids today will never sit in front of the tv and literally feel love between the characters that I and so many others felt watching Teen Titans. ”

I'm curious, though: in what episodes of Teen Titans Go was there signs of ableist behavior?

robin being crazy as fuck to the point where hes literally unstable played for laughs, mostly. its not uncommon in shows [esp kids shows but tons of shows do it tbh] but its still ableist. its like “hahaha he cant control his actions cuz his brain is malfunctioning this is too funny” kind of stuff

i keep seeing that anti-ttg post and its totally fine cuz i enjoy seeing actual valid reasons to dislike ttg but then so many people referring to 2k3 tt as “groundbreaking” and acting as if it was devoid of anything gross or sexist or whatever

like i hope everyone recognizes that slade literally stripping the clothes off raven to the point where shes barely covered was not just fucked up to watch but completely unnecessary and the writers/storyboarders didnt think it would get passed the censors, yet somehow everyone thought the visually implied sexual molestation of a teenage girl was AOK to show on tv? because its in a dark scene and its edgy??? but of course most of the comments on it are about how hot raven looks with long hair and no clothes, but, yknow, okay

also how often did starfires boobs have to jiggle? it was usually pretty subtle so its not an issue of kids seeing it more of an issue of why did the animators do this? for “realism”???? so stupid

and tho people dont wanna admit it, every single girl hero that was in more than one ep [sans pantha? i think?] had to be saved by a boy character [not once, but regularly]!!! starfire and raven got saved by robin on a regular basis, terra’s entire storyline concluded because beast boy reached out to her consistently, bumblebee was saved by cyborg the one?? out of three times she had a significant role in an episode and jinx was saved from continuing the evil life she clearly did not want [tho it was only clear in that episode hahaha no foreshadowing to it at all] by kid flash. and this isnt rare or something totally foreign in a kids show but yall actin like the first series didnt have its share of problems it just annoooooooys me. ttg can be pretty gross pretty often but there is literally no one denying that whereas tt had shitty moments that people just brush to the side with “but normally its so good”

its one of my favorite cartoons ever cuz it IS so good but it also has lots of shitty stuff in it [but not looking at sjw stuff it has pretty inconsistent writing and characterization and repeated plots...and i love “temptation of evil” plots but literally every season except 5 was about a good guy being seduced by evil like...yall can come up with other stuff maybe...]

Why? (explained)

I should specify why my last comment was so… errr... "rage-filled".

I don't know about you, but I just get so CHEEZED OFF when unnecessary hate is squandered on a children's show. (the show's been out for almost a year already, GIVE IT UP!) Its like my SOUL transforms itself to become the fiery pits of Mordor.  I weep for humankind when times like these surface when we can't even introduce our children to characters we grew up with, just because a bunch of haters dislike the new interpretations of the characters.

Don't get me wrong I loved the old show and would love it ever so much more if there were a 6th season, but I miss the interactions between the characters more than anything.

… just give it up.
