Prof: SpongeBob perpetuates 'violent, racist' acts against indigenous people

[Reverend]

What's next? Ed Edd n Eddy promotes sexism?

Garfield's problems with obesity stem from society's need to fat and body shame Xirkin.

Project MUSE - The Contemporary Pacific-Volume 31, Number 2, 2019

The Contemporary Pacific: A Journal of Island Affairs covers a wide range of disciplines with the aim of providing comprehensive coverage of contemporary developments in the entire Pacific Islands region, including Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. It features refereed, readable articles that examine social, economic, political, ecological, and cultural topics, along with political reviews, book and media reviews, resource reviews, and a dialogue section with interviews and short essays. Each issue highlights the work of a Pacific Islander artist.

The person responsible for this essay is this woman (it's always a woman, I keep telling you fuckers it's always a goddamned woman.)

The professor complains that "all of the main characters on the show are male," except for Sandy Cheeks the squirrel, whom she suggests was only created in order to boost the gender diversity of the show.

How shit are you as a woman that you think a fucking cartoon squirrel living at the bottom of the goddamned ocean is a signal of your representation being threatened? The kids are watching a talking SPONGE and an autistic STARFISH and you're worried that only girls are going to feel left out?

Wow, I never knew spingebill was racist. You learn something new everyday (in clown world).

 

[Damn Near]

These days, it's really hard to find fault with Pol Pot rounding up and exterminating the academics

 

[NeroRisotto]

Indigenous people lived underwater apparently.

 

[Manwithn0n0men]

The fuck, isn't the Bikini Atoll Spongebob theory that the nucelar contamination created talking sea creatures how can they be American occupiers? I mean the whole thing is fucking dumb but she didn't even get the theory right.

The Atom bomb converted them to americans

 

[Kamov Ka-52]

Post-irony is so tiring.

Indigenous people lived underwater apparently.

They were so superior to whites that they could sprout gills on demand.

They mostly abandoned the US in '86, so it really shouldn't be the US's problem anymore.

Priviliged white woman informs minorities what they're supposed to be offended by.

Farmer Hoggett here needs to brush her goddam teeth. Though I guess when your job is spewing bullshit, some discoloration should be expected.

Besides being wrong (depending on what you call "main character" there's also Ms. Puff, Pearl and Karen), Sandy is smart (a scientist no less), incredibly strong, independent and whatnot. You know, the things they claim a female character needs to be good representation. Her being "the girl" almost never comes up in the show.

This person is looking for deep themes in a children's cartoon. Sounds like a TGWTG member, not a professor.

So this is what happens when Enter finally goes to College.

I've said it plenty of times and I will repeat it until I die choking on my own sap: The people bitching about this shit do not consume the media they're bitching about. It ain't exactly surprising to hear they haven't got a clue.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

I would love to have that much time on my hands to dedicate to accusing a children's cartoon that's been on the air for 20 years of being problematic.

OOOOOOOH WHO COMMITS GENOCIDE UNDER THE SEA, SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS
POROUS AND IMPERIALIST AND WHITE SUPREMACIST IS HE, SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS

 

[heyilikeyourmom]

An adult admitting to watching a children’s cartoon is embarrassing enough before writing a fucking article on it.

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

So another Marxist tries to infiltrate an IP via call to action.

Okay.

 

[Red Sun]

In this case, wouldn't the humans who possessed the means to move away from bikini atoll be the privileged ones? I mean, the sea creatures were "natives" too, except that they can't just decide to leave, and the implication of the show's title is that all the talking sea life is the result of horrific mutations, right?

All I'm saying is that even if this was a project to intentionally create a far-fetched position to defend as some kind of test of your argumentative skills, she should have failed. Her position is stupid and undermined by its own premise.

 

[Brit Crust]

Well, that's a hell of a hot (and incredibly dumb) take.
