wow! great! teaching kids their very first strawman argument and forever internalizing young minorities that they shouldnt speak out about their oppression! this sucks!

what the fuck I trusted this show. Why did they do use dirty like this.

Man reading the comments is kinda disheartening because people don’t seem to see what this video is trying to say.

This isn’t saying you shouldn’t speak up for what’s right. It’s about getting so caught up in your own beliefs that you think that people are purposefully trying to be malicious, and instead crying “Social Justice” as a pretense for actively trying to prove people wrong and make yourself look better. This isn’t to say that you can’t look at things critically or voice your opinion, but it is true that many people try to “call out” small things that people say that most likely wasn’t even intended to be malicious. Trying to unlearn prejudices is a work in progress for everyone.

And honestly this video is so accurate regarding the culture that this website has produced in regards to social justice. I do support social justice, but there is a better way of sending your message than just shouting at others who didn’t even intend to be mean or ignorant in the first place. You’re lucky to have this kind of access to knowledge because you have access to the internet. Knowledge is power, but it should empower you to share it with others and educate them instead of trying to degrade people.

I’m a Bisexual WoC with a limited amount of money. I get it. There’s so many things to be upset about in a world that hasn’t leveled the playing field. And I’ve dealt with some really difficult people and mindsets. But your own passion shouldn’t overshadow your compassion. Pick your battles wisely.

except this show is for ten year olds and they’re not going to get that message at all from this clip

i’m just confused as to why gumball would fucking do this when this show is aimed at an audience of children, but this scene uses jargon that most kids have never heard

The audience for Gumball I believe is like 8-14 and while I highly doubt all kids are like this, it is very likely lots of kids have actually heard lingo and jargon like that from spending time on the internet.

I feel like maybe it was a bit of a mistake on their part but I don’t doubt that most kids who like Gumball and who have some kind of interaction with social media in general can understand what’s actually happening and what the characters are saying.

Even taking that away, still to a kid even if they didn’t understand what was being talked about, it would just look like the cactus girl was saying something simple and Gumball blew it out of proportions and tried to fight her when previously she was just trying to point something out or help, which on its own is a simple message to understand.

The thing I have to ask, is why do people tend to think the audience for this show are babies, and 8 mean legit babies.

Because they’re morons?
