I was not allowed to watch cartoons as a kid and so as an adult I am going back and watching a lot of what was big when I was a kid, and most of the shows are like. Okay. I see why a kid would enjoy this, and I see why an adult who watched it as a kid would still enjoy it, but entering into it for the first time as an adult, there's nothing here for me. (Very occasionally we get one where I don't understand why anyone enjoys it.) However, Phineas and Ferb is kind of in a category all its own.

Most kids' media makes it for adults and kids both by having the bulk of the content be aimed at kids, with the occasional adult joke where the punchline is sex or mortgage interest rates to amuse the adults that the writers assume are being forced to watch this at gunpoint. Other schools of thought exist, such as what Studio Ghibli does where adults and children are more or less invited to enjoy the same content on the same level.

Phineas and Ferb has an element where the same joke or heartfelt moment would presumably affect a child and an adult, and in the same way, more or less, but being an adult adds an additional facet to it that is born of your own experience -- and your experience as a child is as relevant as your experience as an adult. I think it's a subcategory of something that some very good stories do which is meet the viewer/reader/player halfway, if that makes sense? Uh... laughing with you rather than inviting you to laugh at something it constructed itself? IDK it's very hard to articulate. Calvin & Hobbes and The Hobbit have similar qualities, if that helps

Always remember that the EU did a study in 2013 about the effects of piracy on media publishers and found that there is no correlation between piracy and sales! (And then they tried to hide that study bc that's not the result they wanted)

So piracy is at worst not even a problem, and at best it's free advertisement.

EU withheld a study that shows piracy doesn't hurt sales - Engadget

In 2013, the European Commission ordered a €360,000 ($430,000) study on how piracy affects sales of music, books, movies and games in the EU

I was feeling agitated and artblocked yesterday so I decided to give my brain a rest by watching TV and then the next thing I knew these were in front of me

I've seen this clip many times, but never really appreciated the power of "what was her problem?" Just casually assuming that lesbians come in a wide variety of shapes and being inclusive. As a transbian who is probably still closer to Homer shaped than to my ideal, that's huge!

I'm gonna be super real, gang, the repeated assumptions in the replies that all of these people are autistic is uuuuh. I mean it's extremely inappropriate, if nothing else. and I'm also deeply concerned by the degree to which "autism" gets conflated with "academic expertise" on this website.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

okay. unexpected interpretation.

did not think I'd have to clarify this but the issue is not "some autistic people don't have degrees" it's "behaving as if every knowledgeable person must be autistic is asinine behavior."
