Its been NINE YEARS and i still dont think anyone knows exactly why teen titans was cancelled

[mediumsizetex]

Same reason Young Justice and Green Lantern The Animated Series were canceled: Girls liked it. Bruce Timm finally up an’ said it out loud in an interview a while back when he was asked why in the hell GL:TAS had been canceled when it was doing so well on every front; DC’s animation department has institutionally decided that feee-males don’t/can’t/shouldn’t like superheroes, so even if a show is drawing in great viewership numbers and has great toy sales, once they find out that it’s popular with women and girls, they pull the plug on it. Cartoon Network loved Teen Titans— two million viewers for new episodes will do that— and wanted a Season Six, and the production staff was already in the planning stages for it; they were going to have a big arc about Terra and why she was Living Normal, and do a lot more with the extended Titans team members.

This is so fucked up.

[prokopetz]

To elaborate on this point a bit, the reason this happens is that modern television merchandising aims for total market segregation.

In a nutshell, it’s much more efficient to sell things to people if you can divide them up into tightly defined subcategories that have no interests in common; that way, you never risk accidentally competing with yourself.

This is why children’s toys (and toy sales channels) are actually much more strongly gendered these days than they were forty, thirty, even twenty years ago: one of the basic market segregation splits they’ve decided to use is “boys versus girls”.

Ever wonder why you see Avengers t-shirts that leave Black Widow out of the group shot, or Guardians of the Galaxy action figure lines with no Gamora? That’s market segregation in action.

The upshot is that shows with crossover appeal can actually be cancelled for being too popular with girls; they’re viewed as “stealing” the female market from the specifically girl-targeted media that rightfully “owns” it.

This is the sort of thing folks are talking about when they say gender roles are socially constructed, by the way. The gender split in media merchandising? It’s not just artificial, it’s deliberately imposed as a top-down marketing strategy. When folks try to justify it by saying “this is the ways it’s always been” or “this is just what the market wants”, they’re lying through their teeth - this is, in fact, the merchandisers dictating to the market what it wants in order to sell stuff more efficiently.

(Interestingly, the reverse isn’t always true: if a specifically girl-targeted show unexpectedly becomes popular with boys, sometimes rather than being cancelled, its merchandising will shift to court the male collector’s market. TV execs are so sexist, even their sexism is sexist.)

[taxfrauddotcom]

It gets worse.

Paul Dini, a writer/producer said this on a podcast: “ That’s the thing, you know I hate being Mr. Sour Grapes here, but I’ll just lay it on the line: that’s the thing that got us cancelled on Tower Prep, honest-to-God was, it’s like, ‘we need boys, but we need girls right there, right one step behind the boys’—this is the network talking—’one step behind the boys, not as smart as the boys, not as interesting as boys, but right there.’”

Cartoon network and Warner brothers deliberately made the conscious decision to dumb down their female characters because they want to push female viewers away. In fact, Tower Prep was cancelled because it had too many female viewers because the writers made too many well written female characters.

So shitty representation of girls isn’t something that just happens. It’s the result of deliberate planning just so the execs can make more money.

And it’s not just cartoon network. I mean, why do you think Nick fucked over Korra so badly? Remember them telling Bryke they didn’t want a female Avatar? Why do you think there are no Korra figurines or action figures?

“shitty representation of girls isn’t something that just happens. It’s the result of deliberate planning”

[official-mugi]

And then these same corporations will try to play the “boys gatekeep girls out of hobbies but not us please give us your female money”

[whadd-up-babie]

If I’m being entirely honest, I don’t think I’m gonna write all that often for this account. I’m just lacking the motivation to write about real people. However, I will most definitely be posting on my main account ( @goddess-of-geeks ) which is based off of fictional characters. I’m sorry if this inconveniences anyone, but this is just entirely what I want to do. Have a lovely day. 💛

[whadd-up-babie]

I believe im good enough to begin writing again. My first plan is to finish that one corpse fic with the Greek Mythology AU. yay!!

oh my god, i’m turkish and seeing foreigners reblogging this honestly brought me to tears.

since the post above, three more people have died and thousands of more homes have burned down, but thankfully some of the fires have been extinguished. but this doesn’t mean the fight is over.

these photos were taken in the province of Antalya, one of our biggest tourism centers. for decades, people have been setting entire forests on fire in touristic places to make room for their huge, 5-star hotels and resorts. everyone knows this. the government knows this.

for anyone that doesn’t know, our government is as corrupt as it gets (i’m not gonna go into details, or we’d be here all day and i’d probably get arrested). they’re trying to cover up these news with the resignation of the minister of education. what’s more, so far, the only fire-extinguishing planes we have were sent to us by Russia. not our own government.

they don’t care for us.

our only hope is you. even a single Euro/Dollar you donate would make a difference.

please. we need you.

[geekwritersworld-deactivated202]

Please please reblog, donate , anything you can do to help Turkey!

Turkey needs all the HELP it can get right now. If this shows up on your blog please don’t just ignore. Reblog it, if you can, donate.

Even the smallest thing right now is of massive use to Turkey ❤💔

The way that exclusionists treat ace and aro people often reminds me of how the average person would treat me when I started being open as non-binary. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a thousand times, we are not enemies. Our experiences do not oppose each other, they are intertwined. If you’re ace, if you’re aromantic, if you’re any variation thereupon; your home is here. You belong here, too. You are beautiful, and powerful; and you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone. You are a valued part of this community.

Here’s something else I made, Reblog if you are anti maps

[prettytiredtobehonest-blog]

I’m pretty sure MAP is pedophilia so I’m putting this on my blog for safety if it means something else please do tell me.

[youngcreativenerdgoddess]

FYI: a MAP is the name p*dos came up with to sound more acceptable. It means ‘Minor Attracted Person.’ If you see a MAP, it’s okay to punch/castrate them

[noctwolf-deactivated20201024]

Go away p*dos, this acronym belongs to Multi Animator Project.

[itty-bitty-rampaging-committee]

More than a dozen women from Los Angeles have come forward with sexual assault allegations against Alan Wagner, the guy who created this along with lots of other funny viral posters with the watermark @truewagner (his insta handle). Because he used his celebrity to find with the women he assaulted, these victims have called upon Wagner to deplatform himself. Also, it’s just shitty to be reminded of your rapist when you’re just trying to scroll through some memes. So far, Wagner has refused to deplatform himself or apologize to his victims and has limited comments on his insta.
