>>120827098>Oh please, ever since this shit came out it's literally used either "look how tolerant and diverse we can be!" or "look at all the references hahaha!" as it's selling pointYes, what a discovery on your part, big media corporations are exploiting social issues to gain clout on social media.
See: Basedbomberguy's video about viral marketing where he explains how big business uses political pandering in their promotion to gain free advertising from both the left AND the right, earning them massive net profit.
>Do kids really give a shit about 90's anime referencesNo, but i didn't care about an Elvis cameo when Eek the Cat did it in the 90s. I didn't care for multiple episodes of Johnny Bravo that parodied Twilight Zone.
Cartoons have featured jokes/references aimed at the parents since dinosaurs walked the earth.
>or what color/gender/ideology the characters are?As far as their enjoyment of the show? No, they really don't. They're not gonna think that a show is good because it features all black people, or because it features all white people. They're just gonna focus on whether it's funny or not.
But you just know that in the playground, the black kid is always gonna be told to be the Black Ranger, and the girl is always told to be the Pink or Yellow Ranger.
I know that I was always made to be fucking Billy just because I wore glasses.
It shouldn't be a problem to feature a lot of different, varied characters in your show, both in terms of personality and appearance.
>Does it really drive you nuts when somebody says they don't like a fucking cartoon?No. Why does it drive you nuts when somebody says they DO like a fucking cartoon?
