Sounds blackpilled afThat was one of the more recent episodes though. You should see the older episodes like the episode where Dexter gets a handsome face but it's spoiled by his short height and the episode where he tries to get with his babysitter by ageing himself to be more mature and around her age after she said if only he was older but he ends up looking like a nerd with acne (brutal agepill and acnepill tbh).
With the exception of some nuances the behavior of cartoon characters is not all too different from the behavior of normies in a group imo. Compare the frenzied angry mobs in shows like Spongebob to angry mobs IRL and on social media that like to gang up on and make a big deal about things just for the fun of going after someone.Sounds blackpilled af
Interesting how cartoons made for children can be pretty blackpilled while shows targeted at adults are full of bluepill lies.With the exception of some nuances the behavior of cartoon characters is not all too different from the behavior of normies in a group imo.

It's the veneer of bluepill sophistication (or really sophistry) in adult shows that is absent in children's shows imo. Both might have blackpills but those blackpills are much clearer in children's shows. Similar to how children directly bully each other for being ugly but adults try to rationalize such bullying as being due to "attitude" or socioeconomic or political factors instead of the more clear reason: the person they are making fun of is ugly and is acting out of order in their view.Interesting how cartoons made for children can be pretty blackpilled while shows targeted at adults are full of bluepill lies.

I can definitely agree with this. Not to say that adult shows and movies aren't also full of blackpills. In fact, some are so full of them that it's hard for me to try and sit through them. Just take the fact that good characters are usually portrayed by good looking tall actors while evil or incompetent ones are usually portrayed by physically flawed actors. The difference being that, as you said, the blackpills in children's shows are more direct whereas those in adult shows are often not clearly stated but instead suggested indirectly. This makes it brutal to watch for the trained eye, but gives room for the normies to cope with some bluepill reasoning.It's the veneer of bluepill sophistication (or really sophistry) in adult shows that is absent in children's shows imo.

@Wizard32
Yeah the motivation is still the same but adults dress it up in all sorts of justifications to make it seem like it isn't just the same old bullying oriented around uncontrollable traits. When really it is.another environmental learned trait, adults present are going to correct or punish the kids that are making fun of each other
adults actually do know the reason but they need to makes themselves look good in front of others
Children and teenagers are more honest when they bully others compared to adults tbhchildren are smarter and less inhibition
Yeah part of becoming an adult in today's world is putting on an appearance of nuance and being able to come off as more than one-dimensional and not comically simple and straight to the point. Failure to do that means (as I remember past members like @Eugenicist saying) risking giving a strong undesirable and naive non-NT vibe that is only tolerated when someone is a child and is expected to retain a naive child-like innocence and forwardness about things.I can definitely agree with this.

As a child I always had trouble understanding why adults find to so hard to practice and enforce rules that they themselves put in place. Like why do they not try to intervene and prevent all the lies, cheating, bullying, dishonesty, unkindness. They don't, because they are the same. They only maintain a veneer of virtues but inside they are the same set of bullies and jerks.another environmental learned trait, adults present are going to correct or punish the kids that are making fun of each other

A lesson learned begrudgingly. Sometimes I act straightforward and say it like it is but in a way that it is taken as over the top quirkiness. If you behaved like that 100% of the time people would start avoiding you.Yeah part of becoming an adult in today's world is putting on an appearance of nuance and being able to come off as more than one-dimensional and not comically simple and straight to the point.
Yup. They just pretend to be above that when really they are just as spiteful and immature but disguise it as righteousness and having complex reasons for what they do and how they act.As a child I always had trouble understanding why adults find to so hard to practice and enforce rules that they themselves put in place.

And at the same time people wonder why so many mince words and are so duplicitous. Those traits are rewarded in today's society (as long as it gets tangible results like money, influence, power and sex) whereas being straightforward and brutally honest is frowned down on and seen as naive and pitiful and engaging in childish, ignorant black and white thinking. If you don't stretch the truth or try to make things "interesting" you are just said to be boring and a very shallow character that has trouble understanding and appreciating the nuances and complexity of life. Doesn't apply to chads obviously but then again none of these behavioral requirements ever do.A lesson learned begrudgingly.

Imo it's not so much about reluctance in embracing cynicism or eagerness to entertain the idea that the world is a beautiful place and can work if you make it work for you. Because modern times show how easily people will adopt cynical views to posture and act more enlightened than others. But imo it does have a lot to do with human's reluctance to accept they aren't as complex or unique in their attitudes and behaviors as they'd like to think. They want to show there's something deeper about them and a sophistication that belies their actions, a sort of method to the madness. But without stating this outright and only hinting at it now and then to keep people guessing. Honest and straightforward statements and communication take out the mystery and deepness behind this front they spend their social lives cultivating and makes things really boring and predictable. And that's no fun for normies.they actually fear honest and straightforward people due to the reflection that it falls upon them, not only as their behavior but the harsh reality of their lives, it hurts their ego and feelings to realize their insignificance and being judged since humans are social animals, they just want to keep going like programmed insects where the world is a beautiful lie and has something deeper
