It's worse than that. These companies are given idea after idea after idea after idea by brilliant minds and retards alike. It's the dream for several thousand people to make a massively successful cartoon but not feasable to take every idea, so they have to grade each pitch to see what gets made and what's tossed out. Presentation, feasibility, marketability, merch, all parts of what it's graded on. But, much higher to the top is "Is this gay as fuck?" And that grading criteria decides what ideas are dumpstered and what ideas get made.
In all seriousness, why do all these execs hate the idea of like shonen cartoons in the west? Like Arcane is the closest to a recent example and it’s doing amazing.
