You know how we all keep saying, "X could be the greatest trainwreck ever?" I honestly feel this could be it! Hell, it might even be a second Sonichu - in that, for years after its release, we'll be saying, "why doesn't Black start a GenZed Patreon? I would pay good money for new episodes!"

Oh, just to play Devil's Advocate for a moment... I do like the background in that shot of the extended family. In fact, all the backgrounds are attractive - and though others may not be as keen, I've always liked the contrast in certain cartoons (such as Watership Down) between pencil/pastel backgrounds and inked characters. Though I'm honestly not sure just how successful the contrast is in this case. (It's hard to tell when the characters are that Goddamn ugly.)

I daresay I agree with you, Silvana. This actually has a better shot than Growing Around did, and it will crash and burn with the force of a nuclear firestorm. If it doesn't, the show has the likes of us to thank for any lasting any length, since the mere fact we could enjoy it makes it guilty of wrongthink. No matter what they do, we win. The resulting salt-pocalypse is going to be amazing.

He doesn't understand how humor works.

I was wondering whether or not it was because she has a genuinely good design or it's because the others are so horrific that it looks the best by default or something.

Well, it's not a terrible design. A bit stretched and noodly perhaps, but the choice of colors, clothing and hairstyle are pleasing. It's a design that could work in hands of a more competent artist/animator.

But then again, her design is the most competent of the bunch so of course it stands out. It's like whatever little amount of effort was put into this, was given to her. The asian girl would look okay in normal clothes instead of that wardrobe tornado she's into, the angry dude could work if his skin didn't look diseased instead of tatooed, and the poor, poor black guy...uh, I got nothing. He looks awful. I feel as sorry for him as one can feel for a fictional character, he got shafted in every aspect. It's not just that he's overweight and very sad looking while having the saddest backstory, it's more like he was quickly scribbled in a napkin and sent to the animators as the master model.

Ouch, my funny bone, I think it broke.
 
You know, we keep thinking that tumblr wont care about Hayden's twitter feed because of the hypocrisy factor. However It might be different this time. The tumblr croud is already iffy about gen zed even before its been released. What's stopping them from cutting their losses? Hayden is not a part of their world. They get to call out a shitlord and loose nothing of real value in the long run.
 
I would almost admire his blatant SJW money trap if he weren't so obnoxious.

I'm waiting for Hayden's twitter feed to get noticed.

I can't wait for the 'Hayden black is problematic' articles on The Mary sue and Slate.

I've been waffling between obvious ruse/money scam and genuine project... it just doesn't add up, between what actual money and effort went into it and Hayden Black's amazing personal views.

Could this all be some sort of elaborate and well-funded "social experiment"?

"Well-funded"?:story:
I don't know, the animation looks incredibly cheap, anyone got any numbers on production values that we can compare to other low-caliber shows?

EDIT to not doublepost: Oh shit I checked that Twitter posting of my pic:

Well, well-funded if it was just something made to get a quick jab at Tumblrites. *sigh*

Besides, they still had to hire 'voice actors,' and whoever did the backgrounds wasn't half-bad.

If it were successful, I'm sure he'd run with it. But, judging by the reaction from its target audience, I'm guessing he'll pull the "I WAS ONLY PRETENDING TO BE RETARDED GUYS" / "le epic troll" card, regardless of its original intention.

It does really remind me of one of Sam Hyde's pranks. However, people like Jane Wiedlin are apparently involved, and she has been involved in similarly political projects in the past.

I have a feeling us "haters" will be bigger fans of this show then the actual target audience :lol:. For starters we are not going to jump down their throats for wrongthink.

Yes, quite! If nothing else, Black has succeeded in generating some serious interest amongst us Kiwis - and I'm sure by the time it airs, you'll be able to cut the anticipation with a tranny's chin! :)

I'm afraid I can't agree, Arietis. Psycho Dude's design I rather like. Fat Albert and Drug Whore I'm utterly indifferent towards. Chinstein, though, I consider a guvking appalling design. As you say, colour, clothing and hairstyle are okay, but it's the stretched quality of the character that ruins it - far too noodly for me.

I'm continually changing my views on this. One minute I'll think, "it's a scam and nothing more". Then I'll see some of those "jokes" Black insists on tweeting and I'll think, "master troll confirmed". Then, I'll take a look at the artwork and decide that, if nothing else, the backgrounds are rather nice and think, "maybe we should just apply Occam's razor? Maybe this guy is in earnest - he's just working near-as-dammit singlehanded (and on a ridiculously low budget), which would explain the various technical flaws - and while he sympathizes with assorted "social justice" issues, he doesn't really understand the culture or have any real idea just how fickle his targeted audience can be? That, plus he's a writer of somewhat...doubtful ability?

It's very hard to say for sure.

He wants to write clever one-liners - basically the only kind of joke that works on Twitter - but that requires editing and refining the material. It's like he realizes this collection of words could be used to make a joke, but can't put them in the right order.

I am resisting the urge to pick this joke apart and do a word-by-word analysis of why it sucks because that would be a whole essay, and I'm too lazy to format all the headings and shit.
 
With Hayden's totally unfair smear against the Young Ones, I may need to do a shitty MS Paint thing...

Oh we do agree, she's overly stretched. But that's why I say that design can work if done by someone else. It's an actual problem with the style itself. Give it to someone more skilled than them or me and it can look pretty nice.
The psycho dudebro actually benefits from the style to an extent, the main problem is the color of his tattoos, which make it look like some sort of burn or skin disease.
 
Given Hayden's history of comedic talent, the only funny thing this show going for it is a contender for possibly the most unfunny thing in existence.

This won't even be like The Room or Birdemic or even Rocky Horror Picture Show in "It's so dumb and stupid that it's funny." It's just "It's so dumb and stupid that it's dumb and stupid why are we watching this again?"
