Caricature and why the new Proud Family is so stupid
Exploring where this sad mess came from.
Season 2 of The Proud Family Louder and Prouder has just been released, and has the satanic stupidity that can be expected. It features middle schoolers spinning around like a carousel as they demand reparations in perfect unison.
Diversity and inclusion means different bodies and the same mouth, bypassing the inherent differences of peoples with neuroticism and “activist” whining which is begging for therapy and SSRIs, or perhaps more drastic interventions.
Spiting a special era in God's plan for History, it does its best to actually avoid coming together to understanding the different races of the world who have recently been united through technology and other factors. They seek the opposite of what they say to kids when they are first being initiated. Or at least that's how it used to work, perhaps kids are just being expected to become insane politics ranters now, as how this show depicts kids, to you know participate in society. Glad I didn't when the cost of doing so was less pathetic
Caricature
An odd thing about mainstream culture is how much it hates caricatures. This proceeds out of caricaturization drawing out inherent traits, and drawing out inherent traits finds their significance, and finding the significance of the differences between people points directly towards God's original design for creation before it was corrupted.
Bob Clampett excelled at this, so he was called a racist, which involves a certain satanic play on words of someone who studies the races like evolutionists study evolution or physicists study physics. I wonder how accepting such casual study of other peoples would have brought people together if it wasn't interfered with all those decades ago. Bill Cosby struggled to make Fat Albert, even though it lacked key cartooning ingredients, it had a certain coal black Sensibility.
The Proud Family triplets were really just a blander version of fat albert, but at least they resembled kids in real life. In the new series they are young teenagers who are already lifeless, dying their hair as is the “culture” woke media allows Asian Americans to have. Asians have their hair fixations, black people have another, the nice thing about hair is that it is very easy to change compared to someone's face or body, and so it is easier to obscure inherent traits, and so that is what the mainstream culture prefers.
Obsessed with Kpop because you know there's really no difference between the various brands of Asian Americans. On track to receive their therapy and ssris which is what the culture wants kids to anticipate instead of the Wonders which real cartooning can show them, like The Jungle Book or the great piggy bank robbery.
Whining about nonsense like “model minority", despite supposedly fixing the racism of the original series it has merely become the focus of their lives. No longer happy, no longer unselfconsciously participating in Chinese culture. Each character is a gripe machine for the privileged writers behind the show.
The change gets praised even though the Originals actually look Asian, only looking racist to the hypersensitive eyes of people who allow themselves to be exposed to the media. Social media says that they had “a glow up,” which at the end of the day will probably be really the only praise And discussion of these characters.
This nonsense goes back to World War II era caricatures in propaganda and other things like comics. Because apparently their great-grandparents still smarting about Pearl Harbor isn't a better explanation of their natural feelings about those drawings than them drawing Asians as they actually look.
Nobody says they were being racist against Hitler, even though that could be plausibly explored when people see remote association with everything about Hitler as good enough reason to condemn everything, like the idea that you can judge someone by how they treat animals.
This looks like it could be a photo reference used by Dr Seuss except that the drawing looks older. When they're discussing evil cartoonists, they never mention it's basically all of them.
Even the buckteeth can be identified. Instead of authentic features they choose ones so vague literally dozens of kids in any school who aren't identified as particularly Asian can fit these new Proud Family designs. There is - JUST a little - energy of trying to depict specific characters well in the overall show, which goes to show how the modern calarts style is derived from ruining my artistic revolution in the late 00s, desperately trying to keep a few weak Vapors from those days going. Which can also be called farts, or as Andrew referenced, horses.
The bizarre perceptions grow increasingly from wokes, wildly spinning away from the Reality they brushed up against through me and other sources back around the early 10s. Increasingly individualized and neurotic, they lose sight of what they were aiming to achieve in the first place back then, back when there was still life to their spirits. Their war on caricature is a war on sensation of the people around us and their cultures and the things they make. Becoming so mentally ill, stilted and incapable of real art.
I invented the term sameface and it proceeded to be misused many times, showing that you cannot pick and choose the parts you like and the parts you dislike, creativity is a holistic process and you must accept it all or simply seek creativity elsewhere. Perhaps they would be better at giving their woke characters interior life if I had spoken about the topic, as I could have if I was given a couple more years before I was crushed by mobs of idiots. The little pieces they retained from my attempted artistic Revolution drive them insane because they recognize a certain vast significance but are completely incapable of realizing it and manifesting it.
When I was a teenager I thought there was much more to life than just copying anime for a persona and doing things like that, a perspective that I tried to develop but got lots of hate for it. The spirit of this transferring through osmosis, they end up complaining insanely about a cute cosplayer while they spin around on the inside with an increasingly remote sense of anything that makes sense to the idiocy that they do. Staying on this path develops into hell
The Proud Family
When I was in adolescence I thought there was something special to The Proud Family. Wasn't really anything to do with how it was executed, but there was a vitality to it and a sense of honesty even if it was not complete. As part of their determination to spite my teenage self which they imagine to be an invisible powerhouse in the world, it is only natural they will completely ruin these things about it.
Siphoning Vapors to make it look not so ugly and incompetent as the other shows, their campaign of spite also directed to John K explains how they jump into doing things like putting White Fragility on screen, a big time jump from the plausible deniability they perceive that they are not in fact aiming to groom kids about politics and sex and related topics. Again my careful plan sabotages their efforts, as with Lightyear and the final clownshows of Homestuck.
Existing in a manic thrashing state, the mainstream community bounces from one narrative to the next, debuting new shows and movies that break the context they try to build for the world. Trying to hold onto Los Angeles as an entertainment capital, if their selves from 13 years ago could see how they are now I do not think they would like to be on this path
And so they combine attempts to make mainstream animation not so ugly with the most blatant grooming propaganda yet. Their audience scores crash and the usual industry Hangers-On leap to the defense no matter how fucking impossible their task is. Considering every possible sequence of events woke could have taken: I believe this whole affair with the proud family sequel, which is not even close to over, is one of the most damaging possible ones.
Despite believing they do nothing but succeed, as with She-Hulk and turning red and other things I mentioned they walk straight into disasters that can be developed for decades. And the opening into the 5th Dimension I foresee will add additional branching opportunities to utterly embarrass this entire history.
I would have liked to work on the Proud Family to manifest the spirit of potential I see in it, such as the cool basketball guy. But instead they make a scene where the black gay dad tells the white gay dad to use his white privilege against the rich basketball guy. The activist character Maya is a fitting symbol and Center of all the embarrassment which louder and prouder refines like a prism, all the way into the title.
By the standards of mainstream animation narratives the first meme I ever posted on the internet was a racist caricature of myself, which I posted while I was playing around out of expression of my identity. It is nice not to feel the way they experience the world. It is much more fun to be normal as God made the world to be than have endless nonsense grievances and bickering the most stupid defenses for a TV show no one could defend if they were fully sane.
Oh and in the /co/ thread which inspired this article a Defender was complaining about the concept of triplets. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has shots in the opening with Asian bad guys which seem stylized like classic comic panels. How much better things could have been if people didn’t climb up their asses until there was no way back, and stopped to appreciate all the wonders that have been built up by the efforts of great artists that already exist. As part of usual 5th dimensional events, the insanity of no longer accepting that identical triplets are real is a small example of the scrambling of ‘language’ that results when people climb to places that they do not belong and bypass the guides that will gladly take them there if they can possess enough patience. Beauty of the races has already been seen, but those tender vistas were sensitive to the brash hollering of people who need to abate the grim consequences via many artificial means of how they have already ruined what they claimed to achieve, such as one of the best symbols of the decade-long era which believed racism was becoming a thing of the past, the original Proud Family.
