Hopefully this is the moment the adults wake up to the fact that DIE and CRT are hitting their bottom line and ESG funding only goes so far.

I think, frankly, that the whole "cartoons are for kids" idea needs to end. They never really were; animation is divorced from reality in a way that even just live TV isn't. Kids aren't able to fully understand that, which is why it's so easy to use cartoons to sell shit to em. Toys or morals or cigarettes.

Netflix in particular seems to have a real problem with the line between kids and adults and their animations jump all over it.

I'd like to see Netflix stop marketing to kids and instead act like an indy production company where anyone can get publishing help for their projects for a cut of the revenue. Make a ton of random crazy shit and see what works.

I'd like to see netflix cut their productions entirely and focus on becoming a destination for syndication from the other studios, but that's not going to happen. Failing that, I'd like them to stay the hell away from targeting kids with anything other than documentaries.
