Thank you sm Jazzy, ur voice means a lot in this fandom to a lot of people, a lot of us really admire your work, I know I do, and I’m always happy to see people keep an open mind, again I’m so sorry for arguing, have a good night :)
Yeah I agree with that too Twitter sucks and the harassment to Jazzy is insanely awful, I’m just saying it isn’t a Twitter issue!!!!
It kinda did, I totally get why ur frustrated and annoyed by all this rn I’d be too, I just wanted you to know that. Well. People do care. And it affects them, even if it doesn’t affect you. But of course as I said, it’s totally not ur problem I’m sorry for all this
That’s perfectly understandable and I also don’t want this to devolve into an argument, I just couldn’t stay silent on the shallow “it’s not that deep” sentiment I’m sorry
And writing it off as “well it’s just a Twitter thing” is not good
I agree, I’m just upset about the sentiment you’re showing to people who are criticizing it and the whole “it’s not that deep” thing. It does matter to people. It does.
This is not a Twitter issue this is a fandom issue
I think eating disorders are fucking serious. They are and joking about it isn’t cool. This isn’t ur fight to fight this should be for Adam and again the harassment you face as a trans woman just for breathing is BULLSHIT.
But please just, offer some kindness to people with the eating disorders
Girl I’m sorry but you are being such a hypocrite. I agreed with you on the smiling friends thing and I get that ur upset about it I am too that was so bs but if ur allowed to be upset about jokes about transphobia then ppl with EDs are gonna be upset with jokes about eating disorders come on
I respect that you disagree. I also don’t think it’s worse than everything in the OG S1, just providing an example. I also just think the “it’s not that deep” response is… incorrect and unfair to fans who obviously care about the show, yknow?
Binge eating is also a part of bulimia where people will starve themselves, then impulsively eat a lot all at once because they’re of course starving, and then throw it up— which is VERY VERY similar to what we see in the episode
Also I will say a panty and stocking episode from two decades ago should NOT be where the bar is set lol
There have been complaints on tumblr too fyi (this is the first one I nabbed)
I get that, although I think its a bit cruel to shut out a large group of fans who are also human beings with feelings, I also know how awful people there are. I just think the whole “it’s just a funny gay object show!” when the show can be so deep and thoughtful just looks like a silly thing to do.
Oh of course I agree lol as I’ve said multiple times (and even told people NOT to do on twitter I’m really annoyed people are still doing it) this has nothing to do with the VAs or animators
They could’ve left out the binging remark. As a kid I also was influenced myself by cartoons with similar “humor” towards anger issues (smth I love how ii handles!!), kids aren’t stupid and deserve thoughtful content. People CARE about this show Jazzy, it can be a very serious and deep show!
It’s NOT a category 5 hurricane here, it’s just a flawed joke that came across poorly and viewers don’t wanna see repeated! I’d hope everyone is being respectful in their criticism too.
Oh no of course not, I don’t think the writers are at all this evil demonic entity that intentionally meant to make fun of eating disorders lol, they seem like great guys! The joke just came across poorly and fans are criticizing it cuz we know Brian and Adam are kind and receptive!
Again it totally sucks people are bothering you I’m sorry, but heres what my girlfriend, a causal viewer who DOESN’T think the show is “that deep” has to say. I can’t say it any better.
It IS serious. Is it the end of the world? No of course not! But it is a serious topic and it does impact viewers.
People care about this show, it means things to people and it does handle heavy topics with grace and care, I love how II has handled its portrayal of disability! Fans speak up cuz they KNOW the show can be better than this. Sorry to yap so much, but it’s cuz I care! It IS deep and it does matter!
There’s of course bigger issues and II making a small joke about it isn’t the BIGGEST issue in the whole world lol, but it also just isn’t necessary to include and it weirded a lot of viewers out, so why include jokes about something like that?
It would suck just as much for a “goofy object cartoon” to make fun of characters suffering from ableism or transphobia— stuff that used to be in II but thankfully has improved. Joking about women suffering from misogynistic ideas isn’t cool either :/
Obviously that’s not your problem to handle and people targeting you about it is mad weird too, this is criticism for Adam and his writing of the episode, but I think it also sucks that alot of fans with eating disorders are having to speak up in discomfort, and that shouldn’t be brushed off.
Hey Jazzy! I’m sorry to hear people were bugging you about something that isn’t your responsibility, that’s bs, but I gotta comment to say that the issue with the joke is the use of “oh no we binged” and how it’s directly mocking of diet culture and binge eating. It just comes across mean-spirited
I FORGOT HOW FRUSTRATING THE QUALITY HERE WAS AUFHHGH
I never hear about it anymore… and I forgot I had it whoooops
Uhhhh Go My Paintbrush/Lightbrush sketches!!!!
Maybe I’ll try to post sketches here more sorry…….
I’m more productive on tumblr if you wanna keep up with my art but all my shitposts and Being Annoyingness is still back on Twitter I apologize….
