Unlisted video because I don't know why? It wasn't before. But this is by far one of the best critique videos of the show on the internet and very much worth your time.

    I have problematic favorites too. I don't make excuses for them; I accept the bad parts exist and continue anyway.

    The GI Joe's 80s cartoon was part of my childhood and is screamingly terrible US imperial propaganda, for example. I still glance at it sometimes for kicks, and Dr Smoov did some great parodies, and the PSA gags on Youtube are classics.

    I really hate when outright right wing propaganda gets sophistically spun so someone feels less bad about consuming it.

      Oh boy you'd have loved the Attack on Titan discourse...

        I was there. And I hated it everywhere I found it. Including on Hexbear. Hated the discourse. The goalposts were moved around in a sprint from "this is leftist actually" to "presenting something doesn't condone that something" to "let people enjoy things" to "you must be mentally ill because you don't like the treat."
