I hope this person isn't on any other sites with this shit... I'm sure he is, but I like to hold out some modicum of hope towards the otherwise.

Anything else I have to say to this sounds to weeb-ish for me to summarize this fool.

That's assuming the other sites aren't some sort of hugbox. Even if he is on other sites, the mods there could be more strict and not look too highly upon what he does.

I don't know what's worse, the Johnny Test hatedom, or its fandom that feels the need to "defend" their favorite show.

The latter.

If you live in a world with this:


Or hell, even this:


And you spend your time on this:


You might as well have spent the whole time scratching your nuts.

Why is this show so polarizing? I actually watched some of it one time and it wasn't even bad, it was as Filthy Frank said: so mediocre it's cringey.

Honestly that's a good question. The piss-poor humor and animation might contribute to it. But then again, since other people hate it, these spergs might end up hating it just because someone they watch or like hates it.
 
It's also a rip-off of the "kid genius has funny adventures" genre that came along just as said genre was dying off while it's predecessors (Dexter's Lab, Jimmy Neutron, et al) had done it BETTER.

And I think in these sci-fi shows, where characters can find themselves suddenly shrunk, enlarged, gender-flipped, turned into animals, etc etc etc, you're tripping a LOT of fetishes, whether you meant to or not, hence the defenders who, whatever they say, are really saying "Noooo!!! Don't make them cancel my fap supply!!!"

So, as the mainstream gets tired of a formulaic show, the only hangers-on left are those who have other reasons to watch. The spergs.....

It's also (from what I've watched of it) very anti-science, which probably attracts the dumbass section of the sperg population.

(Sorry for going off topic)

It's competent enough it's not shocking it's actually on TV, but not good enough that anyone with any taste would be fanatical about it. It's also bad enough it's not really good, but not terrible enough to really hate it if you have any sense.

So if you have any strong opinions about it at all, you're autistic.

Yeah, I've caught it on TV back when it was airing. I could not form any kind of opinion about it. I didn't like it or hate it. Jokes were hit or miss and the animation, while not to the levels of most Flash shows of its time (I.e terrible), was just generic and gaudy.

Hence why I think both extremes of the coin are just as bad as one another.

All I can remember about Johnny Test is it sure existed. It's typical 'good enough to air on TV' cartoon schtick that at worst fills time and space before people forget about its existence ten years from now. So I'll join in on one sentiment: if anyone has a strong opinion about the show one way or the other, that's autism. And I'll lump both as equally risible.

The only thing I remember from Johnny Test is the line "Owe me ten and I'm in"
 
I personally would prefer for them to delete "confirmed" or "jossed" theories in the WMG section, but that's asking too much of them.
 
Hell, they should come up with a firmer definition of what WMG is actually supposed to be. I see it get used in seemingly equal measure for guessing future plot developments in a series, intentionally ridiculous bullshit that's trying to be funny, or long, rambling essays on stuff so obscure that even the creators probably don't give a shit about it.
