Samurai Jack S05E08/"Jashi" Salt - Heterosexual romance in cartoons = homophobia; also, ~20-year-olds are now underage, apparently

[Somar]

lmao at all the ones who say they're going to boycott the rest of the season, we all know they're just gonna come straight back once the next episode airs so why even bother?

If they are boycotting whole season just because of one episode that didn't go the way they wished, they didn't even bother watching show for the story or Genndy's storytelling, they just wanted to masturbate to their own headcanons more than anything.

When that last scene with kiss rolled in, and Dean Martin started playing I was laughing my ass off. That's Genndy 101.

In the year 2232, under New Tumblr Dominion law, being in a heterosexual relationship is a capital offense. Perpetrators will have their privilege checked to death.

Don't worry... You're just having a nightmare - nothing ever comes to pass in nightmares. Especially not Tumblr getting their way in such a fucking exception manner.

Even if Samurai Jack was 'gay' (didn't need the mental image) Tumblr wouldn't have been satisfied anyways. Mister Metokur has a video that applies to every article of outrage from them.

Spoiler: More Tears

And on the other side of the coin:

"I don't need to justify for Sonichu and Rosechu. They can take care of that themselves."

THEY'RE NOT REAL!!

 

[bearycool]

Literally, Samurai Jack has been dealing with 50 years worth of bullshit. Ashi similarly has had to deal with fucked up bullshit.

Let the fake characters have this. My God, they at least deserve something after what they've been through.

All of this because Gendy can actually put out good media and didn't start his career from a snowflake echo chamber hmmm...

Meanwhile, two characters of the same sex can't look at each other without tumblr going on about queer coding and shipping them.

 

[Syaoran Li]

Tumblr was a mistake and I get the feeling that even if they made Samurai Jack or Ashi into gay characters, these whiny creampuffs would still find an excuse to bitch about it. Something about "queer-coding" or "representation" or some bullshit.

Either way, Jack and Ashi are fictional, so why does it matter? Does every cartoon need to become politicized these days?

Spoiler: Even more

 

[Black Waltz]

lol it's a fucking cartoon

Don't get me wrong, I would pull a tumblr and ship Samurai Jack with myself.

Fake cartoon romances and their shipping have stricter codes of conduct than Sharia Law it seems.

 

[Intelligent Calcium]

This idea that cartoons are serious business and have an effect on real life is only ever spread by people who do nothing but sit on their ass, watch cartoons and sperg about them on the internet, most likely in an attempt to validate their horrible life choices. Clearly, if it weren't for them these shows would be causing mayhem.

What is it with tumblr types and claiming that characters are gay or trans or whatever without evidence? It's like they can't even conceive of a world in which people are normal folks who aren't defined by their sexuality.

Ed Edd and Eddy had bulldykes why can't they just obsess over those?

Because they were female rapists, who don't exist in Tumblr Land.

"They act friendly? Totally boning behind the scenes."
"They hate each other? Sweet, sweet hate-fucking."
"They met once? Time to write a lonnnnnng story about their elaborate romance that fills that gap in canon!"
"They never met? Clearly trying to avoid each other because they're attracted and are closeted!"

I'm a little salty about this not turning out to be a father-daughter relationship despite a vibe that this was going to go another route. Shit, I'm surprised we're not seeing more of that kind of salt, but then again people are at least acting pretty civil about that as far as I know.
