In all seriousness, happy 24th anniversary to The Boondocks. I don't love what you became, but I'll never forget what you pushed and inspired. There'll always be a place in my heart for this series.
You find that ride someday, I'm sure.
For those who don't know, yes. The Boondocks Reboot was heavily inspired by Capcom's character designs.
Megaman Battle Network and Rival Schools specifically. According to old artists, this was always the intent since 2003. Spoken about this at length about this on the channel.
I really like the idea that Aang embraced Earthbending primarily because in his own way, he was just as stubborn as Toph in his own beliefs.
Refusing to kill. Refusing to compromise his beliefs and way of life. Toph taught him to stand his ground, and it's how he beat Ozai.
"Just remember ALL CAPS when you spell the man name."
Rest in Peace, MF DOOM. You were one of the greatest to ever do it.
Madvillain. Metal Fingers. Victor Vaughn. Metal Face. Whatever the persona, you were did it like no other. Thank you for everything.
roger is a great sonic voice with a lot of vocal range and nuance. Anyone who's seen Boom knows that Roger leans into his Frontiers voice when the scene calls for it anyway.

- it's a Sonic Riders inspired 2D indie game i'm directing.
One Piece is simultaneously one of the most progressive and regressive pieces of media I've ever consumed. Cause' one minute Luffy is liberating a country & tearing down hierarchies, and the next Sanji learns to fly by being transphobic.
content warning for fascist rhetoric
apologies for the rough edit but sound on because you have to hear this shit to believe it. context is that he's reading a speech from a fascist in code geass
It's here. I can sleep, finally.
Let's talk about Colorism. Both the inception and the global impact it has had. We're long overdue.
Also, I'm officially convinced the title "Free Huey" was shadow banned by the algorithm, cause' they demonetised this fast.
Hobie speaks in both MLE and geezer cockney and so while I love seeing Black British representation, it's so clear that he was written by Americans who couldn't tell the difference.
"Cancel culture is toxic because it doesn't allow people to grow or change. They shouldn't be deplatformed."
Why is the condition to which people grow and change founded on whether or not they still have a platform to profit from?
@FDsignifier
You're probably going to get a lot of these responses, but please don't skip episodes of Mob Psycho. It's short and at that point, it's not even worth consuming.
There isn't really a single episode that doesn't add and the climax relies heavily on what's built up through the eps
I'm at a complete loss for words.
Dragon Ball was, in many ways, my proper introduction to the world of anime. It blew my imagination for what was possible and instilled in me the early lessons of self improvement and never taking yourself too seriously. RIP Akira Toriyama.
After coming to terms with the hijacking of socialist discourse by white leftists and personalities, I have concluded I have no further interest in identifying.
I don't even know what "I don't date black women" even means.
What does that even mean? How does one even form such a preference in the first place? No one is born with racial preferences. Above all else, I'm simply confused.
My heart goes out to the Asian community who are going to have to endure a lot of faux solidarity for the next few by influencers and corporations, and never again.
See, when we talk about the dangers of people's understanding of blackness being framed solely around being the Black American experience.
This is kind of what it means.

, it's an indie video game about fighting off spirits in central London.
Cheeky plug.
Teen Titans GO has a really good joke that I think explains the Invincible production in a nutshell.
There's so much that goes into the production of Invincible (and these types of action shows generally) that I think gets swept under the rug.
Just be patient, ibeg.
I know it's a joke but the takes on Invincible's animation are really rubbing me the wrong way.
Every episode is 45 minutes. Multiple backgrounds. Constantly introducing new environments, civilizations and characters. This isn't an easy adaptation.
@DoctorMemeMan
I think Frontiers can and should be criticised but anyone taking mods comparing it an actual development cycle for a game is wild
"Quick fixes" aren't always quick. Multiple platforms. Multiple people. Corporate strangleholds. Different builds. It's a whole different situation
The pirates in One Piece are a gang.
And the gangs do more for their communities than the government officials ever seem to do. That is my contribution to this discussion.
One Piece not designed to promote twisted activist agendas, or to make a political statement. At the end of the day it will always be a story about adventure, hardship & self-improvement. Something, that many of the activist types out there, fail to understand these days.
If you guys ever enjoyed any of the art in the storytime videos or Boondocks illustrations featured, I employ you to support Comixscape on Kickstarter. Share it. Support it. Do what you gotta do.

is incredible, and his work is genuinely cool.

This is the beginning of our Boondocks docuseries covering every aspect of the series and its history.
Show some love cause' this took forever.
FULLY FUNDED IN LESS THAN 36 HOURS.
You guys are nuts! Thank you so much for believing in this project. It means the world to me. I can't wait to show you what we have in store. THANK YOU! ♥️♥️♥️
Some white people have somehow convinced themselves that they're not racist on the premise that they don't call black people the N word.
This overt binary view of categorising racism in the media has conditioned people to ignore the often covert and systematic ways it functions.
Extra thoughts. This idea that making jokes about trans people or people with disabilities is some form of 'counter-culture' is so tone deaf.
Trans people are murdered for many of the 'jokes' cis-gendered people make light of.
What part of enabling that is counter culture?
FOUND MEDIA! THE BOONDOCKS PILOT JUST SHOWED UP!
This is a famous piece of lost media, originally made for fox in 2003, then rejected. rumors claimed legal reasons prevented it release, but here it is!!!!
the origin of this copy is unknown
The Boondocks got cancelled for a myriad of complicated reasons that I can probably discuss in a later video.
But, above all else, I think the team (and specifically Aaron) got too overambitious and greedy with trying to turn The Boondocks into a multimedia franchise.
Haven't tweeted like that in a while, but to end the night on a lighter note. Check out the amazingly talented
@MagmaSoap
who did the front cover for this month's FREE HUEY issue!
I'm really excited by how everything is shaping up. Full report available on Patreon by the 25th!
"Why didn't you say anything earlier?"
Believe it or not, a lot of people who experience discrimination whether it's racism, homophobia, sexual harassment, whatever realize these things retroactively. People don't just "switch up." They process that what you do is fucked up.
