>>79621383>inevitable plot point where the young boy character is forced to grow up, take responsibility and stop being an obnoxious little shit, in sync with his VA's voice becoming somewhat more manly and thus necessitating that the character age a little too in order for it to make sense>drawbackMore cartoons need plot points of wimpy/annoying/stupid main character kids getting better and kicking ass as they grow older, if only to show real kids of that kind that being weak and shitty in general is a temporary state they should strive to overcome. None of these "you're fat/weak/dumb/just plain freakish, but that's okay because everyone will like you and women will crowd around you because you're a good person, no doubt" horseshit messages accomplish anything, except for sowing massive amounts of disappointment.
Too much pussified shit nowadays that's either "women and lesbians are the best thing ever, also there's a fat kid in here somewhere who's technically the main character, but who gives a flying fuck about him", or "men are universally shit, women are the best, now watch these women outperform all existing men in every sense effortlessly". All stemming from wimpy boys without strong role models, growing up unchanged to become pathetic men with no backbones, no creativity and a crippling inability to say "no" to the whims of anything with a vagina.
I remember the days when men/boys being tough and kicking the asses of their enemies in media was celebrated as heroic and worthy of praise, rather than demonized since diplomacy and friendship is the new war, or handed off to any woman in a 100 mile radius regardless of her character or physical capabilities. We need to go back, goddamn it.
Not that I don't love tough, masculine acting women, mind you. Tomboys are the fucking best. But men have been pussified within an inch of their lives and masculinity as a concept's been crucified, which isn't exactly "equality" by any but the most biased definitions.
