>>106505750Perhaps your contemptible critique is just a reflection of your own inability to understand, or simply comprehend, any meagre aspect of the political spectrum to the point where the slightest mention of someone in popular culture who happens to have a political view, regardless of what it is, becomes imprinted in your mind as an abysmal attempt at politicizing children through propaganda presented as jokes and a personal attack on your psyche. In actual fact, some studies have shown children unknowingly and subconsciously take political stances as young as 10. Other studies have shown that children don't give a shit about politics and just want to watch some fucking entertainment. A political/famous figure having an anvil dropped on them, a pie thrown in their face or being hugely exaggerated does not take a 600 gorillion IQ to understand or find funny. The actual 'politics' in the show that confuddle your mind to the point of insanity are there to entertain the older members of the audience - parents, babysitters, guardians, siblings and such who sat down, dreading the concept of being subjected to hours of screeching bright cutesy cartoons of little to no substance, only to be greeted with something they actually enjoy and/or can relate to. Something with clever writing, great pacing and fantastic animation (I'd say for the time, but arguably it still looks decent even by today's standards). And that is where Animaniacs gets its power. Your baseless opinion is overshadowed by an entire generation of people who grew up with the Animaniacs. Keep piling on that salt while doing nothing to contribute to the industry you seem to yearn to reform through vapid criticism, meanwhile people who continue to be inspired by classics like Animaniacs go on to create new characters, new adventures and new stories. Or, bring back old ones. Enjoy the reboot, faggot.
tl;dr: Fuck off John. Eat shit, grow up and learn some Variety Speak, then get back to us.
