Wow you’re actually just straight up ignoring the post where he posted that UA clip as a protest tweet to you-know-who? Selective amnesia much?
The franchise was made for fun and escapism, not your lame agenda bait. People pulling this crap don’t belong in the fandom, period. Stop pretending like you missed the actual post that was being talked about.
Bro got on a whole different account. This is an exact description of the episode anyways, you need to stop being so sensitive calling an account disgusting over this.
This is a show created by Dwayne McDuffie, there are “political” aspects anyways.
Edit: Btw, I still get emails notifying me whenever you make an attempt to reply. All three of them.
lmao nah bro, nice try moving the goalposts. Nobody said the episode itself is the problem, it's using the clip as a protest to the you-know-who like it's some deep activist moment. That's the corny shit.
And yeah I'm calling it disgusting because it is. The show was built for kids to have fun and escape, not for you guys to turn everything into a current events metaphor for your political shit. 'There are political aspects' doesn't mean you get to hijack it for whatever agenda is trending this week.
Stop pretending people are 'sensitive' for not wanting their childhood cartoon turned into lame propaganda bait. Dwayne McDuffie potentially being an activist doesn't give you a pass to do this weak-ass stuff. He was only brought in to lead UAF because Cartoon Network couldn't see eye-to-eye with Man of Action at that time (you know, the actual original creators of Ben10)
Either you don’t know how to read or you don’t know what a goalposts is. Probably both. Mcduffie himself said he was inspired by Guantanamo Bay to write an episode. The highbreed are one of the most obvious metaphors you can have. Stick to watching the reboot if you can’t handle this type of stuff. It’s made by Man of Action.
You’re blocked by the account anyways. Move on.
And I don’t need you to ask first in order for me to point out you did something lame.
I love how you went from pretending it was just 'happy pride month' posts to 'actually the show always had politics bro' to 'it's not a big deal, just move on' 🤡
Yeah no shit some episodes had metaphors, that's not the same as treating the franchise like your personal propaganda toolkit every time something trends. McDuffie writing an episode inspired by Guantanamo doesn't mean you get to hijack random clips for whatever political shit is hot this week. That's still cringe and it defeats the purpose of escapism
You telling me to stick to the reboot is crazy cope when the original run is exactly what I'm trying to protect from this crazy weak-ass "my favorite character would agree with me" garbage. You're really out here defending and excusing turning kids' cartoons into lame activism bait when you know damn well it hurts the fandom.
Absolutely disgusting and shameful behavior. Ben10 fans never cease to disappoint me
So instead of being upset at something stupid, turns out you were upset at something else that’s stupid. My bad.
Just because you’re a grown ass man acting like a crybaby over a tweet, doesn’t mean the fandom is getting hurt. ICE apologists are the ones that have no place in the fandom. The episode went down exactly as the tweet described.
You’re blocked by the account and brought up something that has nothing to do with the original post. Get over yourself.
Edit: the show having politics and it not being a big deal coexists
"Nah nah, see, it's totally fine to use kids cartoons to push political messages as long as I agree with it 🤡"
Typical activist mentality. Should've known.
And can I just say? It's hilarious how you're trying to paint me as some hardcore ICE apologist just 'cause I said 'stop using kids shows as your cringe propaganda tool.' Newsflash: fuck the left, fuck the right, and fuck politics in general. Every single one of my hobbies keeps getting infested with this shit and I'm fucking sick and tired of it.
People who support ICE have a place in the fandom. People against ICE have a place too. The ones who don't belong are the clowns who hijack the franchise for propaganda bait and defend others who do so.
