>>125175681Do you mean Roadside Attraction? That happened because Dana Terrace and Emmy C were getting deep inside Alex's pants at that point and they wanted to project their white feminist anti-WMAF insecurities into the cartoon by killing a nascent ship between two characters that had comparable chemistry simply because of racial implications. People wonder why the last few episodes sucked and it was because by that point Dana and Emmy C (who was working remotely from Massachusetts) were riding manlet cock to top tier storyboarding positions, hell Dana was practically treated as a co-showrunner at the end and in post-finale interviews. Meanwhile actual talents on the show like Matt Chapman and Joe Pitt (who wrote a lot of the romantic Wendip stuff) were seeing this and realized it was best to just phone it in and get the fuck out of dodge.
RA had an insipid plot where Dipper is inexplicably repulsed by Candy, a character he had only shown moderate annoyance with at worst and cordial warmth on average, while having no problems with flirting with two white girls and a token black. Candy is portrayed as creepy and in the wrong for wanting to be closer to Dipper, and dumps him for a shallow reason while Dipper is made to look like a beta cuck fool who apologizes for all this anyway.
It was character assassination for both, but it hurt Candy more because her lack of screentime afterward gave her little chance at redeeming herself. She took a backseat to her fatass mtf friend who was given the happiest ending of all while Candy was left to suffer and abandon her friends. Great writing.
