Is this hated because it's ACTUALLY bad? Or because...
...rightwingers are offended that there are so many brown people on screen?
shareFrom what I'm understanding, the show is genuinely unfunny and poorly written, but the conservatives are also pointing a lot of their criticisms on the brown gay people/
shareI WATCHED IT LAST NIGHT...IT'S LIKE ANY OTHER SECOND TIER CARTOON NETWORK ADULT SWIM TITLE IN TERMS OF CONTENT...I LAUGHED A COUPLE TIMES...I ENJOYED THE SHOW...BUT OVERALL IT WAS FAIRLY SHITTY IN THE WRITING DEPARTMENT...ALL OF THE CHARACTERS ARE SCHIZOPHRENIC ASSHOLES LEAVING YOU WITH NOTHING TO LATCH ONTO OR CARRY YOU THROUGH THE INSANITY...IT'S OK...IT'S MEDIOCRE...IT'S SOMETHING YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN AFTER AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE AT 2 IN THE MORNING 15 YEARS AGO....MINUS THE MAD CRETIN OUTRAGE OVER SHADES OF BROWN AND GAY IT WOULD HAVE COME AND GONE AND BEEN FORGOTTEN.
shareI watched the first two episodes. The "woke" stuff that the right always whine about is barely worth noting. Black Shaggy is actually an awesome idea that should've been done decades ago. The political humor that pokes fun at white people, and other people as well, was also fine and not really an issue, other than it being generally unfunny in a basic unfunny way. The show itself is just pretty bad. It's made me officially sick of the meta "self-aware" humor where people sarcastically say really lazy dialog. I was also pretty uncomfortable with the high and bizarre amount of teenage sexualization of the show; the first scene of the first episode has visibly nude teenage girls showering together, with asses and side boobs clearly seen. The show makes Mindy Kaling seem like a pretty horrible and toxic person to be around, that she's a very bitter and hateful person who still hasn't gotten over not being popular in high school 30 years ago. If anything, the show is a very interesting Freudian look into Kaling's depressed psyche.
shareI AGREE WITH THIS.
shareWhy am I not surprised to find you on here Kowalski. This cesspit of a show speaks right up your alley.
shareYES...IT IS KIND OF TERRIBLE...I DID NOT FINISH THE SEASON...BUT I SUSPECT OUR REASONS FOR IT'S TERRIBLENESS ARE DIFFERENT.
shareSo what part did you like? White bashing, rainbow promotion, race changes or all of the above?
shareI DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THOSE THINGS...I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A SHOW THAT IS FLASH OVER SUBSTANCE THAT ULTIMATELY FEELS LIKE SOMETHING I ALREADY WATCHED ON ADULT SWIM 15 YEARS AGO.
