but let us not kid ourselves sirs there was some pretty weird and gross shit going down with avatar and powerpuff girls and i am seeing The Signs
discovery relevant to weird shit surrounding powerpuff girls (and mlp by proxy though i doubt you need me to tell you so at this point): googling "frankie foster" brings up multiple links to porn on the FIRST PAGE
i mean i get it
rule 34ing cartoons is a time-honored source of lulz that long predates the internet and frankie foster is as good a target as any but honestly
Well I mean, I expect that from any kind of mainstream cartoon aimed at kids and early teens where their first tentative steps in sexualizing the opposite gender are being drawn from female characters they feel like they know. I pray to god this is why Sonic wankdom is so staggeringly massive. A not insignificant number of good male artists I follow have admitted that the sole motivation for their early attempts at seriously drawing the human figure were born from the mindless want to make pornography. It's weird but if you think about it, when you're that young, there's not a ton of other things that really command your attention/discipline quite the same. This is probably why there's so much of it.
With My Little Pony, I really feel like most of the rule 34 output has been trolling. It just seems like there's no way most people could get past the fact that these are, like,
horses, no matter how much they liked the characters themselves. Even with furries they make them human-like first.
Honestly, what genuinely bothers me is stuff like Cupcakes up there. I guess the concept is sort of funny in how a pink pony named Pinkie Pie would turn out to be the most sadistic monster ever to walk the earth, but you hit that point in the video where the creator spent the time to accurately create a scene where Rainbow Dash's intestines are being pulled out on a torture rack and like... they wrap it in a video with a look that most little girls looking for MLP videos are going to fall for. How exactly is this not a genuinely, unironically awful thing for someone to do?
I'd say it made me wonder if other artists these days are getting their start with the driving motivation of being good trolls and pleasing the 4chan crowd, but I just know this was done by a dude in his mid-30s.
